"Black Sheep Farm" - Nimbin is situated in the Northern Rivers area/Far North Coast NSW - about 40 minutes from Lismore or 60 minutes from Murwillumbah.

This is what is typically taught in a Felt Making Workshop:

Introduction to Felt Making:

This Workshop is designed to introduce the basic techniques used to make felt.
By building up layers of wool and felting the fibres with soap and water we will be making a unique and durable fabric.
Using this process we can create an open weave, lace like fabric or a sturdy firm piece of colourful felted fibre.
This workshop will be an opportunity to explore colour combinations, surface design and embellishments that can be incorporated into the felt without sewing.
The first part of the day will be used to design and lay out the coloured wool and to embellish the surface of the wool.
In the afternoon the actual felting process will take place, wetting and rolling the wool. Materials will include Merino wool tops in a wide range of colours, hand spun wool, tussah, silk, mohair, and exotic threads and fibres.

Feel free to bring any fibres that inspire you such as lace, threads, wool or silk.

Please ask if you are a group of interested people to attend a Felting Workshop, so we can arrange a time!
If you wish to have accommodation in our beautiful "Guest House" or the "Cottage" please check for availability. Make it a Craft Holiday Weekend.

It is only a 40 minutes drive from Lismore and 60 minutes from Murwillumbah!
