North House Folk School

Martha Owen is a Creative Programming Assistant at the John C Campbell Folkschool (www.folkschool.org) in Brasstown, NC in spinning/knitting/feltmaking and dyeing. Her adventure in spinning and natural dyeing began at this very school in 1978.  She had sheep by 1980. Since then her extended family has included sheep (currently Shetland, Blue Faced Leicester X and Romney Corriedale Crosses and others! ) and Angora rabbits (French).  Also a banjo player and known to tell a story or two, Martha's interest in sheep and wool, music and dance has carried her quite literally and joyfully around the world.
