Come for a delightful morning out to create this adorable fishy. \n\n\n\nNeedle felting is a process that sculpts wool into any shape you imagine. Wool fibers are covered with scales. In needle felting we use special barbed needles that lock the scales of the fiber together through agitation. What this looks like in real time\, is stabbing fluffy colorful wool over and over with sharp needles. We will be using a variety of fibers for this project. This is a beginner friendly class. \n\n\n\nClasses are held in the comfort of our converted double bay garage. It is on the street level and equipped with a powder room. If the class is full we may ask you to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up the short distance past the alpaca fields. We have a farm shop on the property that you are also welcome to visit. Feel free to BYOB or snacks. Pictures and fun are encouraged! \n\n\n\nInstructor: Farren Maillie \n\n\n\nI 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.

Then we will discuss general costs to raise them – feed\, vet bills\, hay\, etc.  Please come ready with your questions and dreams. \n\n\n\nWe have been breeding and raising alpacas with high quality genetics for a purpose since 2011.  We maintain tight herd health protocols and stay up to date with the industry.  We have learned so much from other breeders and love to share our knowledge with anyone who is interested.  We have helped many farms get started with a small herd and watched them grow.  We are happy to visit your location and share our opinions and expertise if you desire.  Our goal is to educate new owners; mentor them as they move into ownership of these beautiful animals for as long as they want our help.  We can provide you with resources and support along your journey.  If you’re starting to get serious about alpacas\, this is the class for you.

This is a beginner friendly class. \n\n\n\nClasses are held in the comfort of our converted double bay garage.  It is on the street level and equipped with a powder room.  If the class is full we may ask you to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up the short distance past the alpaca fields.  We have a farm shop on the property that you are welcome to visit. \n\n\n\nThis class will stop for lunch at some point.  Weather permitting we will dine in or just outside the alpaca pasture.  Please BYO Lunch.  There is a refrigerator in the teaching space you are welcome to use. \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.
