March 21 Guild Meeting with Carson Demmers (Zoom Meeting)

By day he is a mild-mannered physical therapist (well, actually award winning!). But the rest of his life he is spinning, knitting, designing and teaching, always with an eye to ergonomics.

He is the author of Knitting Comfortably: the Ergonomics of Handknitting. Plus, he is a poodle lover! https://www.ergoiknit.com/

Do you do more than knit or spin? This presentation takes inventory of the ergonomic pros and cons for a variety of fiber arts including weaving and finer needle work.

You’ll learn how injuries occur and the contributions your craft makes both to their occurrence and prevention. You’ll learn to identify ergonomic risk in your craft and techniques to prevent injuries including improved posture, stretching and exercise.
