If you’ve been looking for a way to unplug, tap into your creative side, and spend some quality time in nature, we have some incredibly exciting news. Manda’s Willow workshops are officially coming soon to Reservoir Alpacas!
There is something deeply satisfying about working with your hands, and when you combine traditional crafting with the peaceful presence of our herd, magic happens.
Here is a little sneak peek of what you can expect when you join us for a day of outdoor fun and creative calm.
The Art of Traditional Crafting
Willow weaving is a beautiful, ancient skill, and Manda makes learning it an absolute joy. In our upcoming workshops, you’ll be guided through the steps of creating stunning, natural structures from scratch.
From setting up the structural willow base on custom weaving boards to carefully bending and twisting the branches, you’ll watch raw, natural materials transform into unique pieces of art. Whether you’re making a decorative garden structure, a bird feeder, or a whimsical pinecone craft, you’ll be guided every step of the way.
Under the Watchful Eyes of the “Girlies”
You won’t just be crafting in a studio—you’ll be working outdoors, surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills of our farm. And you definitely won’t be alone! Our curious alpacas will be watching over the entire process. They love checking in on what our guests are making, adding a “little bit of fluff” and a whole lot of joy to the afternoon.
Pure, Unfiltered Calm
Once the crafting wraps up, there’s nothing quite like standing out in the fresh grass with the herd. If you look closely at the farm, you’ll hear the most relaxing soundtrack nature has to offer: the gentle birds chirping in the trees and the soft, rhythmic munching of alpacas enjoying their lunch. It’s the ultimate recipe for a peaceful mind.
