We offer a range of craft workshops for adults all year round. During school holidays we run sessions that are in line with the season to help keep younger ones (4 years plus) busy and creative when off school! Please see below for the different workshops we have available at the moment.
Please note: we are no longer doing the term time, mid-week "walk in" sessions.

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 11 and over.
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 (younger participants will 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.
