Weaving 301 Retreat on a Harness Floor Loom
Thursday, Friday & Saturday - March 5, 6 & 7
8:30 am - 3:30 pm

Need a weekend respite from the challenges of life, or a new hobby? Fiber working is soothing and wonderful! You will learn to weave on a floor loom with a harness and foot pedals. The cost is $233.00 (fiber included). No hidden fees, rental fees or materials fees. All are included in the package price. Participants may bring their own loom or use one of ours at no additional charge. Everyone will learn to warp and to weave, completing a trivet and a sampler scarf or table runner to take home. We are open until 5:30pm each day, and you are welcome to stay and practice or work on your project.

This class is offered as a group in February & September each year; or as private lessons throughout the year. We provide snacks and beverages at two break times each day. Please bring a lunch each day; a microwave is available. There is a class size minimum of two, and a maximum of 6 participants. Our classes go a degree farther than most, and teach some history of fiber arts, and practical technology. As well as being augmented by hands on learning tools available in the Educational Farm Museum.

This retreat is held at Shepherd's Cross, an authentic working farm, just north of Claremore OK on Scenic Route 66. Shepherd's Cross hosts a mini wool mill, processing the wool from their flock. There is also Shepherd's Shop, a quaint country gift shop. It features a host of festive handmade and farm related gifts and wares from many gifted artisans. The Gift Shop and Museum are open weekly Tuesday through Saturday; from 8:30 - 5:30.

Shepherd's Cross is an accredited Agritourism facility, a Made in Oklahoma Company Shepherd's Cross is also Animal Welfare Approved Sheep Farm, and processes Animal Welfare Approved fiber (chemical free, hormone free, free range, natural). Shepherd's Cross is home to Heart of the Shepherd, a non-profit organization (501-C3) that operates at the farm and establishes wool mills in remote, impoverished areas around the world.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
American Sheep Industry Certified
SHEEP SHEARING SCHOOL AT SHEPHERD'S CROSS
April 16, 17 & 18, 2020 (Thursday, Friday & Saturday) 8:30 am - 3:30 pm

It is that time of year again. Shepherd's Cross is taking registrations for their annual Shearing School. The classes are held on an authentic working sheep farm at Shepherd's Cross. This is one of only a few American Sheep Industry (ASI) Certified classes taught in the whole nation. It is instructed by Israel Vasek and Dr. Diane Dickinson.
Mr. Vasek is a professional sheep shearer, and shears over 10,000 sheep per year. He learned to shear with his father, and is carrying on the family tradition. Israel is not only a quality shearer, but he is conscientious, and handles the sheep respectfully. He and his family live in South Dakota. We are honored to have him come to Oklahoma to teach this class.
Dr. Diane Dickinson is a licensed veterinarian and an agriculturalist, with over 30 years of livestock and farming experience. Her unique perspective of animal husbandry care includes that of a producer, a veterinarian of small flock & herds, global agriculture, Biblical agriculture, sustainable living, natural production, agritourism and niche markets.
Each participant will learn how, and be given an opportunity to effectively shear a sheep. It will begin with the first step of catching and handling the animal. And continue with proper handling and maintaining the shearing equipment including blade sharpening. Shepherd's Cross is an Animal Welfare Approved facility. We hold to specific standards of humane animal treatment.
We provide the sheep and shears for your use during training. You are welcome to bring any shearing tools you have for consultation & use if desired. Upon completion of class each student will have earned a certificate of accomplishment from Shepherd's Cross and from the American Sheep Industry. They will also be given an official American Sheep Industry Shearing tutorial handbook and a DVD.
You can find a registration form at https://shepherdscross.com/files/Shearing_School_Registration_Form_2016.pdf. The class fee is $245.00 (the form and a deposit of $75.00 is due by April 5th). Please be prepared to sign a waiver & heed Shepherd's Cross Rules, which can be found at: https://shepherdscross.com/files/Rules_and_Waiver_2014.pdf. You will need to bring a sack lunch. Morning and afternoon snacks will be provided. There is a minimum of 5 registrants and a maximum of 12.
Shepherd's Cross and Heart of the Shepherd (the nonprofit 501-C3) host many classes including animal husbandry, wool processing and veterinary care all around the world. Our fiber classes go a step farther than most classes - we teach some history of fiber arts, and practical technology. Workshops are augmented by hands on learning tools available in the Educational Farm Museum. These fiber classes are offered on an individual or group basis throughout the year. Advanced Classes are also available upon request.
Since Shepherd's Cross is an Animal Welfare Approved sheep farm our fiber is chemical free, hormone free, free range, all natural. We host a mini wool mill on site where we process wool from several hundred of our own sheep. We also offer tours guided or self-guided of our Bible Garden. Be sure to visit Shepherd's Shop, our quaint country gift shop, featuring a host of handmade and farm related gifts and wares from many gifted artisans. The Gift Shop is open every week Tuesday through Saturday from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
