Felting with the Flock

Needle felting workshop

Relax and have fun as you learn the art of 3D needle felting. Farmers and craftswomen Sophie and Lucy will introduce you to their friendly flock of gorgeous sheep, where you can feed, pet and even take selfies with them! You’ll learn about the wonders of wool, and see how it is processed from lamb-to-loom for felting. Then snug in the cosy craft studio, with sheep right outside the window, and views of the nature reserve, Sophie and Lucy will help you create your own mini-sheep to take home! 

What’s included?

• Hands-on time with our friendly flock of sheep, where you can even pet and feed them!

Where and when?

Workshops run from 10am – 2pm, and are held in our craft studio on our family farm in Newtownmountkennedy, Co. Wicklow. For dates and availability, please CLICK HERE.

Anything else I should know?

As the workshops are held on a working farm and include an outdoor element, participants will need to bring suitable clothing (e.g. wellies/boots, rain jacket, warm layers on colder days).

The workshops do consist of some outdoor elements in natural areas on uneven ground. The nature trail includes some slopes, and travels over small logs etc. and the nature trail and farm paths are not currently wheelchair accessible. However, workshops may be adapted to suit participants with additional physical needs and we ask you to please get in touch prior to booking to discuss your needs.

Group bookings

We offer private craft workshops & farm tours for hen parties, corporate groups and friend/family get-togethers. Email us at info@windrushfarm.ie to find out more about how we can help your group have a fun day out day filled with laughter, creativity, and memories that will last a lifetime!
