The Sheep Shed Studio has been in business since 1971. We are presently located in Encampment, Wyoming. We own and operate The Academy of Spinsters, a learning institution for the fiber arts. We teach carding, spinning, both wheels and spindles, fleeceweaving, triangle loom weaving, and natural dyeing.
Lodging is provided.
We offer Wooly Weekends, a fun time for a group of friends or a guild. We have a 24 dyepot workshop here at the Academy every June, and The Gathering, a free weekend every September. We also own and operate Lee's Carding Mill, providing washing, picking, blending and carding of fleece. The Sheep Shed Studio manufactures fleecewoven rugs, tablerunners and placemats, under the label of Encampment River Pebble Rugs. We make and sell premordanted fleece roving and yarn samples.
