Warren Wilson College Learns Wheel Gymnastics!!!
In late November, Monique Cote of Warren Wilson College
near Asheville, North Carolina invited Evan Brown for a wheel workshop.
Over thirty people were taught straight-line and spiral skills on the
wheel. At the end of the workshop, several students took part in a
wheel show showing their new abilities.
The students performed masterfully, especially considering the show
was ad lib. Effort will be made
this coming year to purchase a wheel of their own.
Click here to see pictures of the workshop!
