Felting Class
Apr
12

Felting Class

Using fiber from our own beautiful wool sheep, you’ll craft a unique felted sheep inspired by our real flock members. This special outdoor class will feature the presence of some of our sheep as models.

This class is designed for ages 13 and up due to the use of sharp felting needles.

Best of all, 100% of the proceeds go directly back to the sheep—supporting their annual shearing, hoof care, and vaccinations. Come create something special while giving back to the animals who make it all possible!
