PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

What: Fiber Fest Weekend Retreat

When: June 18, 19 & 20, 2020 - Thursday, Friday, & Saturday 8:30 am - 3:30 pm

Where: Shepherd's Cross 16792 East 450 Road, Claremore, OK 74017

This is three fun filled days of learning how to process any kind of fiber (we teach with wool). This Class combines all of our three single day workshops into one super fiber weekend. Lessons will include washing, dying, wet felting, carding, picking, spindling, spinning, needle felting and weaving. Class size is limited (minimum of two and maximum of twenty) so enroll early as possible. Our classes go a step farther - we teach some history of fiber arts, and practical technology. Retreats are augmented by hands on learning tools available in the Educational Farm Museum and with a collection of fiber arts from around the world.

Retreat fee is only $179 (all three days), a $43 savings compared to taking individual classes. Any Single Day of the Retreat is available for $74 per day. We provide all materials. No hidden fees, rental fees or materials fees. All are included in the package. Each participant will take home several finished products. We provide snacks and beverages at breaks (twice daily). You will need to bring a sack lunch each day.

Shepherd's Cross offers these and other virtual or onsite classes year round, on an individual or group basis. Shepherd's Cross is an accredited Agritourism facility, a Made in Oklahoma Company that processes the only Animal Welfare Approved fiber sold in the U.S. (that is chemical free, hormone free, free range, all natural). Shepherd's Cross hosts a mini wool mill, processing the wool from their own sheep raised on site.

Heart of the Shepherd, is a non-profit organization (501-C3) that operates at the farm and establishes wool mills in remote, impoverished areas around the world. Heart of the Shepherd teaches Biblical references to the harvest, the animals, farming and gardening. The Bible Garden is available for guided or self-guided tours; audio or visual or both.

Shepherd's Shop is open Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 - 5:30, year round (closed some holidays).
