Sheep to Fleece January and February 2025
Welcome to our enchanting Wet Felting Fibre Workshops, where creativity meets the tranquillity of nature on our farm. Here, you'll engage with our unique farm animals as you delve into the delightful world of wet felting. Choose to craft either a unique bracelet, felted soap (great gift idea) or a felted candle cup, each piece a testament to your creativity and skill.
Our workshops offer a hands-on experience using a blend of our home-grown fibre and the exquisite Tasmanian dyed merino wool, celebrated for its softness and vibrant colours. Set against the backdrop of our serene outdoor area, you'll find inspiration not only in the materials you work with but also from our friendly flock of sheep. Their gentle presence and playful antics provide a perfect, calming atmosphere, making the felting process even more enjoyable.
Designed for curious beginners, you'll learn techniques to transform raw fibre into beautiful, tactile art pieces. Embrace this opportunity to unwind, connect with nature, and our awe-inspiring farm animals, while expressing your creativity in a supportive and friendly environment.
Join us for a memorable experience that combines craft, community, and the natural beauty of our surroundings. We can't wait to see what you create!
