Business Profile London-Wul Fibre Arts has established a unique market for fibre artists and now further engages the touring public with its cultural activities. As London-Wul respects the craft of hand spinning’s history, it also ensures that it is preserved in a contemporary, lively manner. Visitors view historic artifacts and interpretive materials, then observe the modern applications, methods and interests in the craft. Wulfraat ensures London-Wul presents the best the craft industry has to offer in experiential, educational, interactive and cultural tourism. Tour operator Bethany Manchester (product manager Collette Vacations) attests to the quality of the product: "The London Wul Farm is just what Collette is always looking for: a hands-on, educational, and unique attraction with the added bonus of an idyllic setting and warm hospitality. We are thrilled to offer our passengers this authentic New Brunswick experience." London-Wul provides a singular location to visit a museum and art gallery; to shop for unique local crafts, supplies and art work; to participate in hands-on cultural experience and to learn a new skill. Artists Profile You might say that Heidi Wulfraat comes to fibre arts from its source. As a B.Sc. (animal science), Heidi combines her passion for animals and her expertise in their care to produce some of the finest quality fibres available today. From her animals, the picturesque farm that is her home and the people who love and support her, Heidi draws a source of creativity expressed in colour, texture and playful wool art.
