Fiber classes and education.
We offer felting
classes here at the farm on a regular basis. Alpaca fiber is some
of the finest in the world. Often, you can offset farm expenses
by marketing your fiber and/ or selling designer pieces. A half-day
class is time well-spent and you will go home with a finished piece
and the skills to continue using your fiber in artful ways….and you'll
have a lot of fun!
Photography classes
Learn to present your farm
in a professional manner. This is a full-day class with lunch provided.
Learning to develop an eye and preserve a moment in time is a valuable
skill. Alpacas can be difficult to capture but with patience, skill
and a trained eye, it is extremely satisfying to create images
of your animals that are of high quality. Please check our website
for a listing of classes and availability.
