FREE MIXED FIBRES PACK WORTH $10, Christmas Get together, Gift Vouchers and moreš - Spring woolly news from Audra at Sheep to Shore
šĀ Spring woolly news from Sheep to Shore
Spring has arrived, and thereās lots happening at Sheep to Shore!
I recently had the wonderful experience of returning to my old school, and one of the highlights was getting to hand-feed a lamb. It was such a joyful experience ā and a lovely reminder of why Iāve always felt such a connection to sheep, wool and the countryside.
And now, as we head towards the end of the year, Iāve been busy planning lots of woolly creativity for you. There are some gaps in the schedule as my son is getting married to a wonderful young woman, I have some lovely international visitors here and we are taking a holiday break before Christmas, hence why I am getting organised so early!!!
š¤šš¤Ā FREE MIXED FIBRES PACK ā WORTH $10! - My Christmas Gift to You š¤šš¤
Book 2 or more workshops before Christmas and receive a FREE Mixed Fibres Pack as my Christmas gift to you!

šæĀ Upcoming Workshops
Thereās a mix of new projects, Christmas creations and some old Sheep to Shore favourites coming up. I have also created one for absolute beginners, thoise that may be finding the other creations a little intimidating, but it is also a great way to learn quick and easy woolly Christmas decorations!

A Sheep to Shore favourite, suitable for beginners through to those with some needle-felting experience.
āĀ Woolly Wednesday Coffee Mornings
One of the things I love most about the workshops is that the friendships and creativity don't have to finish when everyone goes home. My Woolly Wednesday Coffee MorningsĀ are for past workshop participants and are a relaxed opportunity to:
āĀ enjoy a cuppa and a chat, meet other needle felters, bring along a project you're working onš” ask questions or get help with something you're stuck on, share ideas, inspiration and what you've been making.
Thereās no formal teaching ā just a friendly, supportive morning with people who enjoy working with wool.
And if you haven't attended a workshop yet, book a workshop before Christmas and you'll be part of the Sheep to Shore woolly community too!
šĀ A FREE Christmas Coffee Morning!
As well as my usual monthly coffee mornings, I'm planning something extra special for December. Another free gift for you!
šĀ FREE Christmas Coffee Morning
Wednesday 2 December ā¢ 10am
This one is completely FREE for past workshop participants.
We'll have:
š²Ā Gamesš Giveawaysā Christmas treats and coffeeš And lots of woolly conversation. It's a lovely chance to meet other needle felters. You do have to book as I am limiting numbers (and I need to know how many to cater for), so please grab your spot fast! Book here:
And, of course, bring along anything you're currently working onĀ if you'd like to show it off, share ideas or ask me a question.
It's my way of saying thank you and celebrating the lovely creative community that has grown around Sheep to Shore ššš.
š„Ā Finally, don't forget the videos!
Did you know there are now some needle-felting videos on the Sheep to Shore website? They're there as little reminders of techniques we've covered in workshops ā handy for those moments when you get home and think:
"Now, how did Audra show me how to do that?" š
So, they are not tutorials, as such, just little reminders of what we did! I'll be adding more videos in the new year, so the collection will continue to grow.
šĀ That's all for now!
Come and get woolly!
So, whether you'd like to make a little sheep, a robin, Christmas decorations, a tree, beautiful coasters, gumnuts or a quirky jellyfish, I'd love to have you join me around in my little studio. Remember I am available for private workshops too!
Thank you for supporting Sheep to Shore and for being part of this creative, woolly community.
Happy felting!
Audra ššš
