Susan Hill reviewed: Easter Bunny & Snow Hare Needle Felting Kit (inc make-along video)

"Christmas Snow Hare and Wild Rabbit Artisan Needle Felting Kit When I started needle felting (over a year ago now), I found the original rabbit pdf and masterclass an absolutely brilliant start for my first kit as a beginner. It gave me everything I needed. This more recent artisan kit gives you everything you need and more, as well as including the snow hare which is a beautiful make. The contents of the kit are excellent quality and invaluable for beginners and more advanced needle-felters, all arrived as described on the can. The 100% wool eco-felting pad is a high quality item, much better than the sponge I originally started out with. I found the wool, and colour options, perfect for both makes and the needles to be more than adequate for the task in hand. The instruction booklet is a work of art in itself. It is very informative and the step by step instructions are both detailed and clear to follow. Clearly a lot of time and research has been put into making this a high quality kit. I highly recommend this artisan kit both as a beautiful gift and a quality felting treat. Everything you need and more! Thank you Cecily-Kate!"

Art Felt Fibres responded:

"Thank you so much for your generous review Susan! I can certainly confirm that much thought and experience have been packed into this Artisan Bunny Kit - from sourcing the perfect fibres and colours for the make, choosing the hand-turned tool and wool eco pad as well as creating an in-depth 32 page step-by-step instruction manual. I am delighted you have got so much from it. Even though we've never met in person I've been so impressed to see your needle felting journey over this past year via photos you have posted on Facebook! The outfits you gave your first bunnies after following the Art Felt Fibres Master Class tutorial are now on the photo carousel of this listing, as an example of how to let loose with the imagination and have fun with the unique character of each bunny while creating their own unique world! I love those felted carrots - Mr Mcgregor's got his work cut out with those wee bunnies now loose in the world! As a former stage and costume designer I fell in love with the bunnies your made in the photos you sent me after your first make! Very inspiring ... and quite astonishing that you've just taught your first needle felting workshop! Bravo! You are such a great example of how needle felting can sweep us up and become a brilliant way to express our creativity and share this with the world! ... so, like you wrote, this kit is designed to be a treat for any seasoned Needle Felter who is ready to upgrade from a disintegrating foam pad to the long lasting beautiful wool pad as well as revel in a load of quality fibre! With out a doubt it makes a perfect gift for any beginner as the instructions and photos are so clear. I look forward to seeing your Artisan needle felted Snow Hare! I'm sure you'll deck him out in fabulous Christmas threads! May your bunnies go forth and multiply, All the very best and thanks again for your great review!! Cecily Kate @ Art Felt Fibres"

M W reviewed: Large size resin art mistletoe kit. Beautiful translucent bunches of mistletoe with shiny berries.

"Beautiful looking kit. It’s a present so haven’t tried making it. The business owners were so lovely to deal with. Very swift communications"

"Thank you so much - we are such a small business so we always feel we have to try twice as hard. But we are a friendly family so it's not too difficult!"

M W reviewed: Large size Resin Art Holly Kit- Bunch of holly with shiny berries.

Sue Tay reviewed: Resin Art Mistletoe Kit - the perfect Stocking Filler - Beautiful translucent bunch of mistletoe with shiny berries.(Code 123)

"Arrived promptly, well packaged. Instructions and videos were clear and looked straightforward to do. Only drying time wasn’t explained, but we made all leaf pairs first before assembling. I shared the present with a friend and we had a lovely afternoon pre-Christmas making a smaller bunch each. The kit was enough to make two decent sized bunches. We made a few more pairs of leaves without berries. Did not need thinner. Delighted with the end product."

Inion responded:

"Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased that you enjoyed the mistletoe kit, and that you liked the bunches of mistletoe you made. It is so nice to get such nice comments. Thank you."

Jess & Nick Lobo reviewed: Basket making for beginners using traditional willow basketry techniques

"We had the nicest day, learning to weave baskets with Johnny and his family. The workshop is charmingly rustic and cosy and hot drinks are brought to your workbench whenever required. We were both chuffed to bits with the beautiful baskets we made under Johnny and Becky's informal, yet informative tuition. Delicious lunch was provided, fresh, by a friendly local supplier. All in all a lovely, relaxing day. Highly recommended ❤️"

Tina Perry reviewed: Deep Buttoned Stool - One Day Workshop

"I did the storage crate workshop along with 2 friends last week. We had a lovely day, great tuition, great workspace everything provided, I’ve never done upholstery before so was a little apprehensive! Emma’s instruction made the task reasonably straightforward and was on hand for any problems. Tea and coffee were provided and we booked a local afternoon tea box for our lunch which added to make the day special"

Carolyn James reviewed: Deep buttoned footstool - 1 day workshop

"Great day spent on the deep buttoning footstool course. Lots of fun and a lovely item to take home with me. Emma is a great teacher. Would love to take more of these courses."

Nigel Keeble reviewed: Deep buttoned footstool - 1 day workshop

"This is the third course I’ve taken with Emma and it surpassed the others. It was a great experience full of laughs and learning. I met also some great people in the process. Emma has a great way of teaching and putting everyone at ease. She takes what looks very complex and turns it into something that is quite straightforward and achievable by all. I would recommend all of Emma’s courses to anyone."

Jane Baker reviewed: Deep Buttoned Stool - One Day Workshop

"My daughter and I have had a fantastic day on the upholstery workshop creating a cushion for a crate to use for extra storage for any room. Great to sit on to and put your feet up! Having limited knowledge of upholstery it was a great way to learn about what tools are needed and how to go about building the cushion. The day was well planned out and every stage covered and absolutely no time pressure in fact the time flew by. What a sense of achievement getting the corners just right and the buttons perfectly in place. Above all for me was the opportunity for my daughter and me to get together to make a special memory after a year pretty much apart. A great workshop"

Nigel Keeble reviewed: Deep Buttoned Bench or Footstool Workshop - 1 Day Workshop
