MaryClaire Geyer

I live in North Central Washington with my dog and two mustang horses. I am passionate about human-animal collaboration and am constantly pursuing the call of the hooved animals into deeper understanding of relationship.

I spend my off season from shearing refining my communication skills with animals through my relationship with my horses, Jackson and Andromeda. They are both previously wild and have intricately contributed to my learning about what it means to be in close relationship with animals.

I am deeply inspired by natural materials, especially wool. I am a handspinner, knitter, and felter. I love to listen to the whisper of the wool and create freely. Most of my winter days are spent working with wool. … until its time to work on the ole truck to start getting on the road for shearing again.
