WINTERBERG EVENTS FIELD GUIDE
Felted Alpaca Baubles: A Quiet, Hands‑On Holiday Workshop on a Winterberg Farm
A roughly two‑hour, small‑group workshop where you meet alpacas, receive a warm welcome with drinks, and hand‑felt your own fluffy Christmas tree bauble from alpaca wool.
Felted Alpaca Baubles: A Quiet, Hands‑On Holiday Workshop on a Winterberg Farm.
Spend a special, creative afternoon on a Winterberg alpaca farm: after a brief welcome with a warming drink you learn the basics of alpacas, may feed and photograph them, and then receive instruction in felting so you can craft your own individual, fluffy Christmas tree ornament in a relaxed, cozy setting.

Outing Highlights
Close, Comfortable Encounters with Friendly Alpacas
The event begins with an introduction to the Andean camelids: you can feed them, take photos and—if the animals allow—stroke them, lending a quiet, tactile dimension to the workshop.
Hands‑On Felting: Make a Fluffy Christmas Bauble
After a short instruction in filting with alpaca wool, each participant crafts their own individual, fluffy Christmas tree bauble—an artistic, patient process that rewards time and attention.
A Small‑Group, Cozy Workshop Atmosphere
The workshop is deliberately intimate—limited to 14 participants—so you can settle in near the animals or in the seating area, enjoy warm drinks and seasonal treats, and work at your own pace.

What the Afternoon Feels Like
The flow is deliberate and low‑pressure: a welcoming drink and a short introduction to the alpacas, time for feeding and photos, a brief practical lesson in felting with alpaca wool, then several relaxed work periods—interspersed with Glühwein, punch and pastries—until each participant finishes a unique, fluffy ornament.
