Instructor
Beth Fitzpatrick
Beth has been a fiber enthusiast from age 5 when she learned to crochet from her grandmother and to knit and to sew from her mother. She has explored many techniques and learned from other fiber folk along the way. She began spinning 20 years ago at a local fair and became a proficient spinner. As more yarn built up in her stash, she has followed the weaving path as well. One of the joys she has is teaching the love of fiber exploration and watching her students’ develop their skills. Beth has taught at Slater Mill in Pawtucket RI as well as her private students.
