New needle felting workshops!

19th November 2016 by john barker

New needle felting workshops here at Spring Farm Alpacas!

Come needle felting at Spring Farm Alpacas

Beginners needle felting workshops

 

 

 

 

 

 

We know that many of you have been asking about our new needle felting workshop dates and so we have now scheduled the workshops for the first half of next year, including quite a few exciting new topics! Not only are there some fabulous new characters you can create, but needle-felting is also so addictive and great fun!

As usual the classes tend to book up very quickly and, to keep it personal, we try to limit the number of bookings per class. We start off the year with a very special Winnie The Pooh workshop and, as we are located in the heart of Winnie The Pooh Country, we thought this was the best way to chase away those Winter blues: Saturday 21st January. On Saturday 25th February we have a Baby Unicorns class and these are simply magical to make.

We have a special Easter Workshop on Saturday 18th March, where you will make your very own Spring Hare, using the finest British wool.

Last we repeat the ever popular Baby Alpacas workshop on Saturday 20th May.

These classes are great fun for all and taught by Michelle Onderstall of Fudge and Mabel. Michelle is an artist who designs, makes and teaches needle felting. The classes are held is a warm, bright and comfortable workshop here at Spring Farm.

Classes run from 10:30am  to 4:30pm here at Spring Farm Alpacas, and cost £55 per person which includes use of materials and tools, a light lunch, tea/coffee and of course we can’t forget the cake. Even if you’re an absolute beginner we will teach you all the basic techniques to get you going, so you leave the class with your own creation.

Here is the roll call of Spring Farm Alpacas 2026 Here is the roll call of Spring Farm Alpacas 2026 Show team. We have showed this year at the South of England, the Heart of England and the British Alpaca Society National Show (think Crufts for alpacas). After 25 years of breeding alpacas we couldn’t be more pleased with our alpacas. Winning shows is one thing but with our levels of handling expertise, these are some of our most chilled alpacas who are also on our walking team - so you can get to walk multiple Champions! We still have spaces for walks this year so dont delay and book up a walk now. #alpacafarm #alpacashow #alpacaworld #alpacagram #alpacalife
Onwards to the South of England Show last weekend. Onwards to the South of England Show last weekend. How did Team Spring Farm do? Only got Supreme Champion with Rico!!! Thank you to @_larajade_ and @louisa_234789  for helping out - and Kirsty a big shout out for the van taxi service - we are not worthy! Many thanks to to Tony and Hilary for organising and Nick Harrington Smith for judging. So that’s it - all done for the year’s halter judging. It’s been our best year ever in the showrings and we couldn’t be more pleased. It just goes to show that 25 years of breeding genetics has paid off. #alpacalife #alpacashow #alpacafarm #alpacaworld #alpaca
Over the weekend of 11/12th April, Team Spring Far Over the weekend of 11/12th April, Team Spring Farm ventured out to the Heart of England Alpaca Show in Slapton, Bucks. Well, it couldn’t have gone much better. We took 5 alpacas and got 6 first places (each of the boys plus the Sire’s Light Suri Progeny Class for Tolstoy) and 3 Championships. Vicki and @_larajade_ did an amazing job. It really just shows that our breeding decisions are going in the right direction. Next stop the South of England Show! #alpacafarm #springfarmalpacas #alpacashow #surialpaca #alpacaworld
When we moved to Spring Farm, there was one common When we moved to Spring Farm, there was one common orchid plant on the whole farm. 29 years later there are 4 species and approximately 500 plants. The success of farming for nature (countryside stewardship) is plain to see. These beautiful orchids are early purples and are flowering in amongst the bluebells. Book an alpaca walk amongst our wildflower meadows and witness what nature can do if left in peace! #alpacawalking #wildorchid #alpacafarm #naturewalk #naturewalks
Grabbed the camera yesterday evening. Amazing suns Grabbed the camera yesterday evening. Amazing sunset over the farm and the naughty boys were out in their field. Couldn’t resist taking these in what proved to be a very short window before the colours had gone. No time to play with camera settings so apologies if not perfect exposure! #alpacawalking #alpacafarm #sunset #sunsetsky #sunsets
Book an alpaca walk with us here at Spring Farm Al Book an alpaca walk with us here at Spring Farm Alpacas and get to meet the naughty boys class of 2025. This is Pink Floyd who in my book is normally the ring leader. After an alpaca walk and feeding your walker with carrots, we will take you to meet last years crias (baby alpacas). We still have the class of 2025 on farm - the class of 2026 is due to arrive from late May onwards. #alpacawalking #alpacas #alpacafarm #sussexlife #sussexwalks

ALPACA FARM STAY IN SUSSEX. A view with a room! Th ALPACA FARM STAY IN SUSSEX. A view with a room! This is “The Lodge at Spring Farm Alpacas” which you can find on AirBnB (we are rated 4.96*).

The Lodge is recently converted and recently redecorated. It has all top quality appliances, good wi-fi, parking, access to an EV charger, fully double glazed and insulated - and our prices are fully inclusive all bills/vat etc. We are near the village of Fletching, East Sussex but on the doorstep of Brighton, The South Downs,  #farmstay #holidaylet #farmlife #ukstaycation #holidaycottage
