"I had a great time on the two day wet felting course 4/5th November. Josephine is a lovely teacher, very friendly and welcoming putting us all at ease from the beginning. She explained about all the different wools and about mixing colours for the picture. She was very clear with instructions and very good at suggesting ideas to improve your picture. I found the two days very relaxing and would definitely recommend it. We were taught in a small group so help and advice was always available. Josephine has an amazing selection of different wools and fibres to try and experiment with. She puts a lot of effort in to making sure that your day is enjoyable and that you come home with a picture that you’re pleased with. Thanks so much, I had a great time. "

" Thank you Jane for writing such a lovely review, it is much appreciated. It was great to meet you and chat about your aims for the course and ideas to decorate your landing with your own felted wall hangings. Wonderful to see and encourage your wet felted woodland scene to develop during the two days. Delighted you had a relaxing and fruitful weekend. "

"We both had a fantastic time on the felting 2 day workshop. It was very relaxing and we learnt so much. The different types of sheep and the different wool types wow! Josephine was very clear with instructions and very supportive in helping us create our felted pictures. The whole process was very therapeutic and enjoyable. We would like to frame our pictures and we are definitely looking to book on to another workshop. "

"Myself and my two daughters attended a wet felting workshop with Jo on Saturday 29th April. Jo provided a lovely welcoming environment. In addition her studio is in an old chapel with many original features which was also a joy to spend time in. Jo was very knowledgeable and shared her expertise which allowed the three of us who were all beginners to thoroughly enjoy the day and create felt artwork which we were all proud of - each being able to work at our own pace. The day was very relaxed and there was a fantastic selection of wools, fibres and fabrics to wet our creative juices. Would absolutely recommend trying this craft with Jo - you don't need any previous experience, it is very relaxing and the felt is so forgiving allowing you to amend, add or remove throughout the process. Very addictive! Hope to do more in the future Thank you Jo "

"Have just had a very enjoyable day wet felting. Went with a friend for her birthday and both of us really enjoyed it. Jo was very knowledgeable, explaining the process and different techniques we could use. There was an amazing range of resources, so the range of colours and effects we could include were pretty much unlimited. I would really recommend this course, Jo is really encouraging and patiently allowed us both time to experiment - even though we took much longer than expected!! Thanks Jo, it was fabulous."

"Had an absolutely brilliant experience. Josephine is obvoiusly a very accomplished artist who was able to share her passion and expertise with us as complete novices. We all succeeded in producing an excellent picture using the wet felting techniques and I feel very proud of what we made. The environment was inspirational and relaxing too. Would thoroughly recommend this course."

"It was great fun wet felting with Jo who did a superb job of introducing all core elements of this accessibly creative activity. With extensive tutoring experience, she is clearly highly skilled in conveying a wide range of skills inclusive of all abilities. We had light-hearted fun whilst totally absorbed in the endless possibilities of Jo's wide ranging materials, all explained and available to explore. It emerged that Jo had worked across all age-ranges from young children to oldies, accordingly tailoring her approach. I would recommend her for little local groups or whole classes. "

"This was my first time wet felting and I loved every minute. I am now hooked! Jo was so welcoming and friendly, immediately putting me at ease and giving me the confidence to try a new skill. She is a brilliant teacher explaining how wet felting works, demonstrating each stage clearly and giving advice, handy tips and support throughout. I teach art to 7-11 year olds and Jo kindly shared her experience of wet felting with children, giving me lots of ideas on where to resource cheaper materials and equipment and how to make the process easier for younger children. I can't rate this course highly enough. Fantastic!"

Phinefibre responded:

" Aww thank you Angie, for writing such a lovely and kind review, it is very much appreciated. You were an excellent, enthusiastic student as well. Welcome to the amazing world of felt making, so much to explore. "

"The wet felting course was great fun. Jo explained the materials used and the method in detail. She also inspired us with examples of what could be achieved and books we could buy. Her studio was comfortable and inspired creativity. All the materials we needed and more were readily available and the company was good. Thanks for a great day Jo."

"My friend and I attended this course yesterday and can absolutely recommend it. Jo was lovely and a very patient tutor! Having had no experience of working with felt, by the end of the day I knew how to work the different yarns to produce felt and had made a lovely picture in felt to take home and frame. Everything was provided including refreshments. We took our own packed lunch. There was a free car park right next door to the venue. Thank you Jo, a lovely relaxing and enjoyable day,"

"A really interesting workshop, with excellent chocolate biscuits! Jo seamlessly tailored the course to meet the different needs of all 3 of the group, so we all learned new things and were all able to take home a completed piece of work. The workspace is ideal with ready access to a wide range of materials. I'm enjoying watching my work develop as it dries. Thank you Jo!"

"As a complete newbie to wet felting I was delighted to come away with a piece of work I was pleased with. Jo was a great teacher, the course was well paced with lots of opportunity to follow our own interests and an abundance of materials to choose from. Good value for money."
