What to Expect?
A lifelong crafter, Sandra has hosted regular masterclasses and workshops since 2016. She's working to help bring traditional Irish crafts back to the forefront, and her classes provide history and hands on lessons in copperwork, needlefelting, crochet and more.
On site, you can also find a herd of rare and endangered sheep, the Roscommon Sheep. Native to Ireland, these sheep are now close to extinction due to a decline mutton trade and introduction of other species to the island. Sandra not only cares for these gorgeous beasts, but also spins her own wool from their fleece.
