Martha Owen is a resident artist in spinning, knitting, feltmaking, dyeing, and surface design at the John C. Campbell Folk School (folkschool.org) in Brasstown, North Carolina. Her adventure in spinning and natural dyeing began at this very school in 1978. Since 1980, her extended family has included sheep, Angora rabbits, Great Pyrenees, and border collies. Also a banjo player and known to tell a story or two, Martha’s interests in sheep, wool, music, and dance have carried her literally and joyfully around the world. Her children say she is a wool nerd, but her sheep say she is outstanding in her field! Find her on social media @marthaowenwoolens.
