doing what we do best
a bit about Angela Belyea
With a lifetime of knitting experience, Angela has spent over a decade learning and perfecting spinning, weaving, and dyeing various fibers - wool, organic cotton, angora, and any number of others.
Angela has attended workshops and courses (and even instructed a few) around the Maritimes – including attending the College of Craft and Design in Fredericton, NB. She is a Juried Member of the New Brunswick Craft Council, a staple along the King’s County Studio Tour and a member of the Sussex Artist’s Co-Op.
When she isn’t keeping up her full-time career in health services, you can find Angela volunteering at The General Store (Sussex, NB), running a booth at the Sussex Farmer’s Market, or working on numerous fiber and gardening projects at The Herb Farm.
You can find Angela’s work on display at various locations across Southern New Brunswick:
The Covered Bridge, Coles Island, NB
Sussex Artist’s Co-Op, Sussex, NB
the Catnip Mouse
Originally made by Joyce from scraps of wool and bunches of dried catnip, the mouse has been a signature of The Herb Farm since it first opened for business
With her specialty in fiber creations, Angela revamped and redesigned the mouse soon after taking over The Herb Farm. The catnip mouse is now made of hand-spun and hand-knit wool, stuffed with naturally home-grown catnip, and topped off with an organic hemp collar.
