Olwen reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"A great experience. I've tried needlefelting before using books and online videos but been dissatisfied with the results. The tutor has her own techniques which suited me much better and was wonderful at giving just the right support to build my skills and confidence. I left inspired."

Ali McGill reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"I booked this course for myself and my mum, it was a small studio which was very relaxed. My mum has early onset dementia and Josephine was patient and broke down the skills into manageable chunks. We were very successful in our doggie creations and came away very happy :-)"

Cath reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"Had a brilliant day in a small class (5 people in total). Jo is a very talented and patient teacher guiding us when necessary to achieve something resembling our pets. Want to try needle felting? Then I would recommend this class."

Linda Ross reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"What a wonderful way to spend a Friday. In the company of my oldest friend, three other lovely entertaining ladies, producing felted versions of our beloved pets. Josephine is a lovely, calm and very patient teacher, who guided us easily through the very therapeutic art of felting. If you have ever wondered about giving felting a go, just do it, you will love it. Thanks Josephine for a great day."

Cheryll reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"Had a brilliant, fun day with my bestie, Josephine and 3 other lovely ladies on the course last Friday (10th June). Really enjoyed doing something different, learning a new skill and taking home my first needle felt project. Would highly recommend this course for first timers to needle felting. Still amazed with that I made something that resembles my cat (well sort of !!) Thank you Josephine and here's wishing you the best of everything for the future xx love from Cheryll and Kathy."

Tina Jennings reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"I attended the animal felting course with my friend who very kindly bought it for me as a birthday present. I was a little nervous as I had never done felting before and wondered how on earth I would get a pile of wool to resemble my dog ! I didn't need to worry as Josephine was so lovely and demonstrated everything very clearly and helped us all along the way. The other ladies on the course were lovely too and we had such a laugh. I was absolutely thrilled with the end result and would definitely recommend Josephine's courses and am hoping to attend another in the future."

"Came on this course with my daughter for a girls day! We both loved it. She’s only 10 and did so well with Jo’s instruction and help. The day was relaxed and we came away very pleased with our lovely needle felt versions of our pets, and a new skill to practise. Thanks so much Jo!"

Tracey Russell reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"I recently attended the workshop. I found Jo to be very relaxed, very informative and of course, talented! The studio is well equipped, materials and equipment all of a good standard and Jo's input is just right. I am delighted with the needle felted dog I made , and it has definitely given me confidence to keep going . I would recommend the workshop to budding crafters, and I intend to return with friends and family at some stage"

Veronica May reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"A surprise 1 to 1 class due to cancellations. The experience was a very high standard with excellent teaching. I felt that all my questions on how to do the felting were answered . The teaching was far above what i had expected. I left feeling accomplished with a dog that my family said resembled my photos."

Karen reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"No cheating here! Learn how to tranform rolls of carded wool into sturdy freestanding models without the need for pipecleaners or wire! I felt like I was sculpting with wool, and it was totally absorbing and therapeutic (we could barely stop for our lunch break!). As a total beginner, I was amazed with what I achieved under Jo's excellent guidance. I learnt that although you can buy any number of needles and needle felting gadgets, in reality, you don't need much more than a couple of needles, a felting mat and some wool. I feel that I now have the confidence to tackle my own projects and can't wait to get started. The course is extremely good value and in the 6.5 hours, all attendees completed their projects and were delighted with the results. No extra charge for materials, and you can bring your own lunch, which suited me. I would highly recommend this course, Jo is a great teacher and I'm keen to try one of her other courses."

Janet Greenwood reviewed: Needle felted dogs and cats in Hebden Bridge

"This was an excellent course ... Jo gave us all plenty of tips and ideas with clear instructions at each stage. She also balanced this by allowing each course member to have the freedom to create their own individual ideas.. and offering advice and support along the way. A wonderful relaxed studio atmosphere too I had a great day..."
