Roë reviewed: Stonehenge needle felted landscape (inc quality frame & delicious high tea)

"What a wonderful day we had at the Stonehenge Needle Felting course run by the lovely Cecily. I found the venue without any trouble and we were all welcomed with open arms by Alison and Cecily and were offered delicious custard tarts and freshly brewed organic coffee and tea on arrival - by now I knew I was going to thoroughly enjoy my day! The needle felting was very well taught by Cecily, with patience and professionalism - everyone made a great picture of Stonehenge. We then retired to another room where Alison had laid out her sensational home made tea, there was so much choice we couldn’t possibly finish it! An added bonus to the class was Cecily playing her crystal singing bowl. I had never heard one before and found it a totally cathartic experience. Thank you again Cecily. I hope to back for another craft workshop very soon!"

Kathy Findlay reviewed: Wet Felted Vessels (inc lunch)

"Fun, educational, friendly, lovely morning and yummy home made cake. Experienced tutor with lots of ideas and enthusiasm. I would thoroughly recommend this course. "

Art Felt Fibres responded:

"Hi Kathy, Thank you for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the workshop - what a wonderful gathering of wise women … everyone’s vessels were like mini worlds 🌎 gently holding the creative potential of each maker! It was a pleasure to co-create with you and see how you combined the wool - your vessels were really striking and beautiful. I have a feeling you will be creating many more! We look forward to welcoming you back to The Oast Studio soon for more woolly magic! All the very best, Cecily Kate 🥰"

Diana Fellowes reviewed: Felted Seaside Landscape workshop (inc frame)

"This course was a pure delight and surpassed my expectation. Cecily-Kate was an excellent teacher and a talented artist. She guided us to produce two lovely fibre pictures which were much admired by the family and friends. I look forward to more courses with her."

Art Felt Fibres responded:

"Hi Diana! Thank you so much for such a glowing review! I'm so happy you enjoyed the woolly landscape needle felting workshop at The Oast Studio. It was lovely to meet you ... and it doesn't surprise me one bit that your family and friends are admiring your beautiful woolly paintings! Everyone did remarkable work, especially considering many had never painted a landscape let alone needle felted before! Come back soon for more needle felting around the crafting table with your family and friends! All the very best, Cecily Kate"

Bobbie Howling reviewed: Owl Needle Felting Workshop

"Lovely venue for the course and it was much enjoyed. All tools and equipment were laid out in readiness for us and the enthusiasm of Cecily Kate for her craft was inspirational. She was always ready with advice and assistance and I was very proud to take home my owl. Definitely worth the effort to get there ( I travelled from Norfolk) would love to do more. "

Art Felt Fibres responded:

"Hi Bobby! Thank you for your great feedback - it was a joy to see everyone's owls come to life! Such good work from one and all. Amazing that you came all the way from Norfolk! Come back to the Oast Studio soon - we'd love to share more woolly needle felting courses with you! Enjoy your owl, Cecily Kate"

"First time at needle felting. Very surprised at how quickly new skills were incorporated into a little bird with character and personality. This is a great social skill. I really enjoyed this course, the cake and the ambiance!"

"Dear Diane, Thank you so much for such a lovely review! It was a wonderful class and everyone needle felted such beautiful Wrens!! Your jewellery experience really shone through! Come back and craft with us again - we really enjoyed having you at The Oast Studio! "

Angels reviewed: Hedgehog needle felting workshop

"A wonderful felting course in a wonderful location with wonderful people. I throughly enjoyed every minute of this very enlightening course. This was my very 1st try at felting, the tuition was excellent as were the refreshments and baked pastries. I came home with a rather long nosed, very cute, hedgehog who I wouldn't change one bit. I also purchased a felting rabbit kit which lays in a beautifully presented box waiting for its creation. Beware however, I believe like me, once you've been on this course you'll get the felting bug. Very much looking forward to visiting, learning and felting on my next chosen course here. You truly won't be disappointed - enjoy. "

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"
