Louise Holloway reviewed: Powertex and stone art owl

"We booked this course as a four to celebrate my mum’s birthday and am so glad we did. Jan is absolutely brilliant and was so helpful both with our booking and on the day. We all thoroughly enjoyed the course, and are stupidly proud of what we made. Jan made it such a joyful experience Mum has already dropped a load of not terribly subtle hints that she wants to come back again next year! Thanks Jan - you made a special birthday even more special. "

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" Hi Louise, Thank you so much for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to work with you all to achieve your brilliant results. All your owls were so different and all really characterful. It was so rewarding to see you all developing skills to work with Powertex Stoneart Clay. I hope to see you at some time in the future, you would be very welcome."

Triztan Stack reviewed: Dragon book box

"This was a return visit for me and my friend. It was just as fun as the first time and we were both really pleased with the dragon books we made. One of them will be a Christmas gift for someone. Me and my friend are both experienced drafters and I think these are suitable for both beginners and more experienced people. "

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" It was great to see you again . Your boxes were so different from each other, your crafting juices were well and truly flowing. I'm sure your Christmas gift will be greatly received. Thank you for the review. Best wishes. "

Luisella Strona reviewed: Powertex and stone art owl

"Fantastic class, and superb teacher! I book Powertex and stone art owl for a group of 4. After looking, I decided I would like to do the book cover instead, and Jan was happy to accommodate the chance. She is great at teaching, and great at putting people at ease. The youngest member of our group was very worried, and she was upset because she thought she was doing a different project. Jan immediately switched her project, and helped her to build her confidence. She was really happy at the end of the course. I'll definitely recommend the course, and I will be back at the first opportunity. "

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" Thank you so much Luisella for this lovely review. It was a pleasure to help you all achieve your brilliant projects. You are welcome back anytime. xx"

Jo reviewed: Powertex African lady statue workshop

"I had a lovely day with Jan who has a wealth of crafting knowledge of which she is happy to share. Jan made a lot of effort to ensure I was happy with my powertex creation and it was a nice way to spend a relaxing day learning something new. There is such a range of fabulous things to make I'm unsure which to do next!"

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" Thank you for the great review Jo, I enjoyed meeting you and introducing you to the fantastic medium of Powertex. You took to it like a duck to water and made a beautiful Masai fabric sculpture. It will be a pleasure to see you again if you decide to book another workshop in the future."

Anne reviewed: Powertex bird house

"I booked this course for myself and my Mum for a birthday present for my Mum. It really didn’t disappoint. We both had so much fun and Jan is absolutely lovely. We were both new to the craft and Jan walked us through it. We have already ordered some of materials needed to have a go ourselves at home and will definitely be booking another course with Jan at some point. We would highly recommend!! Thank you so much Jan for a wonderful day!! "

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" Thank you so much Anne for the lovely review. I am so happy that you enjoyed your first experience of Powertex and to hear you're going to continue on the journey. Best of luck and enjoy.xx"

Bernardette Patrick reviewed: Dragon book box

"Jan is brilliant, sets you all at ease and makes the sessions relaxing, fun and informative. She worked out the group and allowed individuality to come out. Stunning pieces and very happy group. 4 of us went, 2 had been apprehensive. They loved it and are planning return trips. I would recommend to anyone to book with Jan. I had done Waterlooville before and the standard is so high for all of the teachers."

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" Hi Bernardette thank you so much for your lovely review. I enjoyed working with you all and helping you create and develop your designs. All your boxes were so individual and beautiful. "

Rachel Fitch reviewed: Dragon book box

"Today was my first experience of Powertex after being introduced by my friend. I don’t mind admitting I have very little in the way of creative skills! It was really amazing, very interesting and lots of fun. Jan is so lovely and put us at our ease straight away and made sure we knew exactly what to do at each stage. The biscuits and coffee were very welcome too! My 12 year old loved it too and we will definitely be back. The four of us had a great time and I’m very pleased with my first project!! Thank you Jan "

Feline Fixins Powertex Fun responded:

" Hi Rachel, thank you for your lovely review, I am so pleased you enjoyed the creative process and that you were pleased with your end result. Although you said you weren't creative you very quickly understood the Powertex process and made a lovely box. It will be a pleasure to see you again in the future. Best wishes."
