Create a charming, display-worthy sheep from Hog Island wool in this hands-on needle felting workshop led by instructor Eden Ertle of Island View Farm. Participants ages 12 and older will learn needle felting techniques to craft a cute sheep using soft, locally sourced wool in beautiful colors. This workshop celebrates the region's agricultural heritage while teaching a traditional fiber art skill. All materials are provided, making this an accessible and fun experience for beginners and experienced crafters alike. All skill levels are welcome, and no prior felting experience is necessary. Students will leave with their own handmade felted sheep creation and the knowledge to continue exploring needle felting at home. This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in fiber arts, local agriculture, or hands-on creative projects.
