Spinning Wheels

This is a most unusual photo from the collection of Alan Hagan. How often do you see so many hand-made spinning wheels all in a row.

This is a class of 12, "the dirty dozen" that learned to make spinning wheels. The teacher is seated in the middle of this photo in front of the spinnining wheel made by Alan.

p.s. Alan was later offered $400 for that spinning wheel but tactfully declined the offer on the encouragement of his wife.
