Every year in November is the biggest craft fair in Finland held in Tampere. For years I have been visiting and working in Finnish Craft & Design fair. I appreciate every crafter who comes there to sell their own products and love to buy present to my family from there. These fair is also great place to buy yarn, fabrics or other materials.
Our Taito-organization has own stage in the middle of the hall. Last year I was giving a presentation of spinning and this year I took my students with me. We called it “The choir of spinning wheels” but nobody sung. My students were spinning and I was interviewing them and explaining what they are doing. We had spoken beforehand what I will ask, so they were well prepared. I think our show went well, there was a lot of people in the audience watching it and asking questions. I love to see that spinning is getting to be popular.
