01 Jan Annyea Healy
Annyea Healy resides in the Northern Sierra Foothills within Nisenan Territory, tending to her homestead along side her family. There they grow flower, vegetable and herb filled gardens, and care for fiber and dairy goats, llamas and chickens. Through reciprocal and loving relations with her animal kin and the Earth beneath her feet, Annyea grows, harvests, spins, botanically dyes, felts and weaves these beautiful natural fibers into one of a kind creations as well as provides food and fiber to her community.
Annyea is passionate about keeping these ways alive and well and over the last several years she has facilitated many workshops at various skills gatherings and at her annual women’s fiber arts and animal husbandry retreats hosted every spring on her farm. She is grateful for the opportunities to share in this way and does so with a deep bow to the ancestors who carried these crafts forward to this very moment, and to all of the beautiful lineages and many ways in which they are practiced.
Annyea Healy will be sharing Weaving with Fiber Animal Kin and Drop Spindle Fiber Spinning.
