Participants will be seated at socially-distanced craft tables and will be able to interact with the farm animals who will keep us company while we enjoy the outdoor Learning Garden overlooking the farm. Our farm animals are friendly and love attention from our visitors. Treats for animals will be provided for those who wish to interact with the rabbits and hens directly. 

We will explore feather patterns, types of wool, colors of angora, and shapes of the animals with Education Director Jessica Herwick, then Jenna will guide us to needle-felt our own bunny and hen sculptures to bring home. Kits will be provided for all participants, with additional selections of roving, wool, angora, and feathers to inspire creativity and add multiple levels of color and pattern to your work of art.
