In the past we have taken part in Open Farm Sunday in partnership with the RBST to allow visitors to see the farm and our Rare breeds. Farm tours are available by appointment. The Peg Loom, felted back fleece and tapestry weaving courses are held at the farm and also available on-line which means students from around the world can take part.
Courses on the Farm
This course will be held on the farm near Welshpool, outside in the sunshine or undercover in a large barn so social distancing can be maintained. Refreshments included though please bring a packed lunch. All materials provided for the day, looms can be borrowed or you are welcome to bring your own. Looms, warp thread, washed fleeces and unwashed fleeces are available to buy.
We have several breeds of sheep which can be seen with their lambs.
Online Courses
On the first session the times are arranged for sessions 2 & 3. Times/days can be arranged to suit you if the current courses are not convenient.
The course covers, types of fleece, preparing fleece, items that can be made, warping the loom, weaving and finishing off your item. The course is via Zoom and a link will be sent to your email address. When you check out please leave your address for items to be posted and email address. Any queries please contact us.
