Please get in touch or email craft@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk to arrange a date and time for your group workshop!
One Hour Workshops:
Accessory Embellishment
Select your accessory: a zip top bag, tablet slip, pencil case, shopping bag or laptop case. Create your design using either cut-out felt shapes or have a go at needle felting a 2-D design: a flower, animal, your initial, or even an alpaca – perhaps you can recreate your favourite from the Wolfridge Alpaca herd?! The workshop is 1 hour in duration, and is suitable for sticking shapes for 5 and over. If you wish to needle felt, it is suitable for ages 13 and over.
Please get in touch or email craft@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk to arrange a date and time for your group workshop!
Wet Felted Book Worms / Pen Covers
Create wet felted bookworms or pen covers in our 1 hour workshop. You will have fun selecting fibre and seeing the magic of the wet felting process as the loose ‘fluff’ gradually rolls in to your worm-like creation! This workshop is up to one hour in duration and is suitable for ages 4 and over (younger participants will need some assistance).
Please get in touch or email craft@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk to arrange a date and time for your group workshop!
Wet Felted Soap
A wet felted soap is a fantastic way to use soap more economically and provide mild exfoliation! As you use it the fibre shrinks along with the soap, allowing you to use every last bit of the bar, leaving you with a felted, gently exfoliating ‘scrubbie’. In this session you will select your choice of fibre – and alpaca is a fantastic option. Suitable for beginners, including children aged 5 and over (younger participants may need some assistance). Each bar will take up to 45 min to create, however the more energetic crafter can make one in around 20 minutes. This workshop will be up to one hour in duration and is suitable for ages 5 and over.
Please get in touch or email craft@wolfridgealpaca.co.uk to arrange a date and time for your group workshop!
Alpaca Fibre Pom Poms
Bag charms, keychains, bobbles for hats and scarves are all fashionable and fun accessories - even better when made by you with your choice of size, fibre and colour. You may have fallen for an alpaca from the Wolfridge herd and now you can make a pom pom to match them! Our Pom Poms have a luxurious look which is more fur-like than traditional pom poms made from knitting yarn as it is using the super soft fibre in its unspun form. Suitable for ages 5 and over (younger crafters will require some assistance).
Please get in touch or email craft@wolfrdigealpaca.co.uk to arrange a date and time for your group workshop!
Felt Ball Bracelet / Garland / Keychain
During this needle felt session you will see the super-speedy method of making small felted spheres using the fibre of your choice. Watch your felted spheres take and hold the shape as you stab to sculpt them! With a little practice, you may be able to form each ball in as little as 5 minutes, then string them to make a fun garland for your house, a fun keychain, or even a chunky-bead effect bracelet. We have a range of our own herd's natural fibre if you are looking a gorgeous tonal alpaca creation of your own to treasure. This workshop is one hour in duration and is suitable for ages 13 and over.
