Needle felted Seascapes with 2 Inspire You

Description

We will be creating pictures using all the skills of needle felting. All you need to bring is a selection of photos to use as a stimulus for your finished piece and some found objects you may want to include. This will help us both to help you create an image you love by the end of the session. We provide all the materials for you to explore to create your picture. The beauty of felting a picture is that you are able to change colours or create subtle colour changes as you progress.

Jayne reviewed: Needle felted Valentines workshop with 2 Inspire You

"Was a bit apprehensive at first when I turned up as I had no idea what to expect as I have never been on a needle felting course before. However, our tutor, Rachel, was fantastic and put us at ease with lots of advice and tips on how to achieve a beautiful picture. I must say I was so pleased with the end result and can't wait to frame it. The course was excellent value for money. The materials were all provided on the day and there was also plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits to go round. A great day out and I'm glad I went. A great stress buster too!"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much for your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed yourself too much. I look forward to seeing the picture in a frame. The stress relieving is defintely an added bonus to felting. I hope you are able to join us again soon for another workshop. Best wishes Rachel"

Teresa Davies reviewed: Felting weekend with 2 Inspire You

"Yet another excellent workshop with Rachel and Rhiannon. Managed to produce a reasonable copy of my collie Rosie. A friendly and enthusiastic class, lots of laughing and comparing of dogs. Is really incredible how a bundle of wool can transform into an actual animal. There was a variety of dog breeds being recreated and at the end we were all pleased with the replicas of our precious pets. This is my second class with Rachel and I can honestly say I have enjoyed every minute and learnt so much about this craft. I will be booking future classes and recommending to family and friends. Thank you both xx"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much, I would love to see your Collie now that you have added more fur to your wonderful creation. Great that you enjoyed yourself so much and we very much look forward to seeing you again soon - remember to let me know if there is something in particular that you would like to make xx"

Martyn Williams reviewed: Felting weekend with 2 Inspire You

"Dear Rachel and Rhian. Thank you both for another fab workshop. I booked the workshop with my mum and partner to create our little fury friends. A cairn terrier, a pug and a staffy. The practical skills you both shared to help us make our dogs were fabulous. The day was full of creativity, patience and plenty of laughs. Really lovely group in a great venue. Can’t quite believe how the dogs evolved from a fluffy mass of wool in the morning to realistic pooches in the afternoon. I’m still amazed at the thought you put into matching the wool and colours prior to the workshop to match our dogs, brilliant! And thank you x Can’t wait for the next class xx"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Hi both, thank you so much for your review, it was a total joy to watch your creatures come to life and to trust me at various points too! it is always such a joy to have you with us and great to have so much fun and laughter. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.x"

Sarah Burdett reviewed: Felted spring wreaths or garlands.

"I really enjoyed this course. Rachel and Rhian were fantastic teachers and they created a lovely relaxed atmosphere for us to work in. We had a choice of what we wanted to work on when and then after being shown examples and techniques we could get inspired by all the beautiful colours and start on our own designs. Rhian and Rachel were always on hand to show us new techniques as we went along and I thought the results were absolutely gorgeous. I really enjoyed admiring everyone else’s work as much as I enjoyed working on my own and I was really chuffed with what I made. Throughout the day I was either utterly engrossed in what I was doing, happily learning something new or chatting and laughing with the others on the course. It was a lovely relaxing two days, I’d thoroughly recommend the course and I’m hoping to be back on another course soon. Thanks Rachel & Rhian :)"

"Rachel and Rhian are so welcoming . I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend learning more about needle felting. I loved the fact that everyone was so friendly and encouraging, sharing ideas and tips . Rachel and Rhian are so patient and explain everything clearly. There was plenty of scope for us to be creative and we produced such a diverse range of ideas. So great to spend two days being so totally engrossed in felting. Thank you"

"Thank you so much Jane. It was a total pleasure. Your pieces were spectacular and it was wonderful to see you all enjoying yourself so much! We look forward to seeing you again."

Katrina Evans reviewed: Felted spring wreaths or garlands.

"Rachel is a born teacher, she has a natural flair and ability to see where people are at and where they want to go, and she quietly and gently helps them to get there. She inspires confidence and makes you feel like you have achieved something really special - which of course you have! She also makes everyone feel relaxed and part of the group, which I think is why people come again and again to her courses."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much. It is always great to see the variety of styles everyone produces. We hope to see you again soon"

Robert Workman reviewed: Felted spring wreaths or garlands.

"The 2 day course was well organised & resourced. The venue was ideal with plenty of free parking right outside the building. The presence of the 2 facilitators, Rachel & Rhian, allowed everyone to work at their own pace & choose a number of different projects to work on. Expert tuition ensured that even a total novice like myself left with a couple of creations that I’m looking forward to displaying at Xmas!"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thanks Rob. It was wonderful to watch your confidence grow and you become absorbed into your work. I really loved your Robin on the stocking!"

Cath Munn reviewed: Felted spring wreaths or garlands.

"I have been on many workshops, and this has been one of the best. Rachel is very welcoming, she is patient, encouraging and flexible which means that the people taking part in the course can be as creative as they like. Also having 2 teachers meant that everyone got the help they wanted, when they wanted it. Thank you."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thanks Cath, I am glad you got back safe. Your wreath was amazing and your crocheted flowers you made overnight looked fabulous among the squirrels and snails. I hope your fairies enjoyed the journey and their new home. I will work on making the distance closer."

Julia Ractliffe reviewed: Felted spring wreaths or garlands.

"What a super day with Rachel at her wreath felting workshop. As a complete novice, and with very little creative flair, she, and her lovely assistant, guided me through my options and made gentle suggestions without taking over my creation! The available materials were plentiful, so much so that it took a while to settle on a design as there was so much to chose from! I've learnt a lot and have come away with a desire to do more. Thank you, keep doing what you're doing - great way to jump off the planet and explore your creative side with a bunch of lovely people!"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you Jules, It was great to meet you both on Sunday. I hope you had a good journey home. Your wreath was beautiful and so colourful. I hope the bells jingling bring the reindeers safely to you at Christmas"

Martyn Williams reviewed: Felted spring wreaths or garlands.

"This is my second course run by Rachel Prince and would definitely recommend (again). I had the opportunity to make a felted stocking using wet felting techniques, a wreath, a fairy and a felt picture mounted on a card. The 2 day course was full of ideas and Rachel helped us all to use our artistic licence. Such a relaxed 2 days, having all the equipment provided and so much choice of wool to use. Can’t wait for the next course! Highly recommended - 2 full days of enjoyment! Thanks Rach"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much Martyn. You truly ran with each idea and produced beautifully crafted work. I am glad we have you hooked, no apologies but so good to see the way you light up with your work!"

Katrina Evans reviewed: Needle felted Valentines workshop with 2 Inspire You

"Rachel is a natural teacher who has an eye for guiding people to the best results but without telling them what to do - so you can learn by experience with an expert on hand to give an opinion if asked for. She has a big range of materials to use, and costs are very reasonable too. If you want a creative day with everything on hand and a nice atmosphere and friendly people, I would always recommend Rachel's felting classes."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much! Nothing gives me more pleasure than seeing the pride in what everyone achieves. It is very addictive as a craft but so relaxing as well."
