Our goal was originally to gather youths (approx 10 to 14) with a special interest in the wonderful world of natural fibers\, embark on a fiber journey from animal care to finished fiber product\, and help foster friendships along the way. We heard from many people over the age of 14 that wanted to be included so as a special treat\, we are opening up our second session to ages 10 and above. \n\n\n\nIn a packed 4 day experience\, participants will first interact with alpacas face to face\, join in on light farm chores\, and learn about cleaning and prepping raw fleece. Next we will dive into the basics of carding\, spinning and dyeing the fiber. Lastly we will unleash our creativity and learn to create household goods and sustainable art that utilizes the fiber we have prepared. Students will create a nesting ball for backyard birds\, make a wet felted soap\, create needle felted sculptures\, hand dye yarn and learn how to craft pin loom flowers that can be used for brooches\, pins\, garlands\, etc. Farren and Marcia will instruct and guide in all activities. \n\n\n\nIn addition to all of these skills\, they will take home a new drop spindle\, needle felting pad and needle to continue honing these skills at home and a hand dyed skein of alpaca yarn they can later use in a project of their choice. \n\n\n\nWarning\, this memorable experience has the potential to lead participants into a passion for working with fiber\, working with animals\, working with our hands\, or gain a new appreciation for those that do. \n\n\n\nWe are really excited to offer this special program again this year. Registration is limited to keep the experience unique\, fun\, safe and enjoyable. Cost includes all supplies. Lunch is not provided.

This jellyfish makes a great gift for someone with a shore house or has a love for sea creatures.   \n\n\n\nInstructor: Farren MaillieI am a fiber artist specializing in all things squishy and wool.  I am passionate about sustainable art and love creating nature inspired pieces with materials collected from our bountiful world.  You are likely to find me in the forest looking for inspiration\, fairy doors and gnomes. I’m so excited to share this unique art form with you.  \n\n\n\nNeedle felting is a process that sculpts wool into any shape you imagine.  Wool fibers are covered with scales.  When you agitate the fibers\, the scales lock together and thus\, the felting occurs.  In needle felting we use special barbed needles that lock the scales of the fiber together.  What this looks like in real time\, is stabbing fluffy colorful wool over and over with sharp needles.  Wet felting uses that same ‘shock’ factor to agitate the fibers into a smooth piece.  URL:https://silkiesfarm.com/event/jammin-jellyfish-felting-with-farren/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://silkiesfarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_5472.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250607T093000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250607T103000 DTSTAMP:20260403T162312 CREATED:20250110T183837Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250110T183840Z UID:6972-1749288600-1749292200@silkiesfarm.com SUMMARY:Paca Yoga DESCRIPTION:Ticket Information \n\n\n\nPaca Yoga\, led by Certified Yoga Instructor Amanda Olson of Dragonfly Yoga & Fitness in Pottstown is being offered in a serene outdoor setting among some of the gentlest livestock you will ever meet with nose to nose.  \n\n\n\nShe will lead us in a series of postures\, movement\, breathing and a brief seated meditation.
