Join us on the farm for this popular workshop and celebrate the fall by creating with your community!

Meet the Fiber Rabbit Adventure English Angora bunnies and join a rabbit circle!

Learn about the art of felting using various techniques and create natural, eco-friendly wool sculptures representing the colors and shapes of the autumn season you love the most!

This program is designed for artists of all levels, from beginner to advanced.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:  Learn about the history of wool and felting methods used throughout the centuries to create art and textiles that have kept humans warm, boats sailing, and homesteads warm for centuries.  Meet friendly English Angora rabbits, for inspiration and cuddles, and enjoy seasonally spiced tea and cookies while you create with your community!  Participants will manipulate wool from their kits using the art of painting and sculpting with wool using various techniques.

ABOUT THE FELTING KITS:  All participants will receive a kit with supplies to explore wet felting and needle felting during the workshop, and will receive a demonstration of both methods. Material kits and all materials included are yours to keep, and packed with enough roving and supplies to continue your crafting adventure at home.

We will have company from the Fiber Rabbit Adventure family during the entire workshop. Opportunities to pet, photograph, feed, and take selfies with the rabbits are built into our agenda. Rabbits will not be available for handling, holding, or picking up during this workshop but will be accessible for your company. 

A note about youth participants:  Youth 8 - 18 yrs are welcome to attend if accompanied by an adult, but please be aware needle felting requires very sharp needles and some tools that must be used carefully or can cause serious injury. Youth 12 years and younger may be asked to wet felt only while at the workshop. 

 Family Tickets Available in the Registration.
