Sheep & Wool School: The Primitives – Convergence 2026
August 15 @ 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm
3-Hour Seminar
We will experience several breeds of “Primitive” style sheep. Included will be some you may have worked with before and some you may never have heard of yet! Amy scours the fields looking for oddball rare breeds to bring to class and she hopes you’ll find a new favorite! We will start with her favorite primitive which is from a lovely island off the coast of Virginia, and talk about the history and attributes of these sheep and their wool.
