Customized Classes:
I love to share the magic and fun of felting with others. I have taught hundreds of students over the past decade. I never tire of seeing the students' enthusiasm when they create a piece using their own sense of color and style.
Come visit the farm, see the sheep, have some great home-cooked food, and felt a project!
