Learn To Shear Workshop - Up Close & Personal with Mary Jane Fox!

Each seminar will last from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM and will be limited to 4 participants so that everyone can get hands-on experience and individual instruction. The cost is $275 per person or $500 for two people from the same farm and includes a shearing manual, apron, gloves, snacks and lunch. All necessary equipment will be provided and there will be shears, etc. available for purchase if you wish. If you already have your own equipment, you may bring it and Mary Jane will show you how to adjust it for best results.

Two alpacas will be shorn at each seminar, one by Mary Jane as a demo and the other by the 4 participants, each doing approximately 1/4 of the job. Shearing and skirting of show fleeces will be included. Most of the seminars will be done using huacayas, but a suri seminar or two will be scheduled if there is enough interest. There will be a reduced price of $450 for anyone who wants to attend both a huacaya and a suri seminar.

A deposit of $100 is required to hold a place in the class.
