Leigh continues to teach, most recently at the last two Majacraft annual spinning camps.
He was the first male person in 1989, and still is the only male, to have been awarded the Hand Weavers Guild of America’s Certificate of Excellence in Hand Spinning. To date there has only been 38 recipients of this award.
Leigh began learning to hand spin as a form of relaxation from the stress of working for the Ambulance Service in Melbourne. He has continued to spin because not only does it allow time for quiet reflection, but also there continues to be the joy and challenge of creating.
Leigh is very happy to donate this scarf to raise funds for Breast Cancer Support Service Tauranga Trust.
He considers this to be a very worthy cause.
