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.

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.
