Studio Tours Schedule
Monday, October 7, 2024 from 4 - 5 PM ET: Laurie Carlson Steger
Wednesday, October 9, 2024 from 4 - 5 PM ET: Debby Greenlaw
Debby Greenlaw is the author of Krokbragd - How to Design & Weave and Krokbragd Patterns. After more than 40 years as a nurse and nurse practitioner, Debby retired to a 14½ acre farm in rural South Carolina. She shares Green Pastures Farm with a cadre of dairy goats, chickens, a mini donkey, a barn cat, and a playful puppy, all of whom bring her immense joy. As part of the farm's restoration, Debby's husband, Pete, built a studio where she loves to weave, spin, and knit. In this studio, she also presents online programs and workshops for fellow fiber enthusiasts. Debby also enjoys working in her dye studio housed in one of the barns. On her blog, Flora & Fiber, Debby shares the skills she has learned, farm life adventures she has experienced, and insights she has gleaned. When she is not writing, you can find her doing something creative with fiber in between farm chores and gardening.
