Fun creative and well explained class. Emma is always happy and very professional to answer any questions and to enrich the experience with useful tips and techniques to improve the finished result.
I would recommend to friends for a great creative experience.
Thank you for an excellent session where I was able to reinforce the core techniques of the stages of felt making , and to improve my understanding of adding colour and texture. The exercise of making flowers focused on shaping and finishing to obtain textures and arrangements that suggested a selected botanical form, and I improved my understanding of developing detail through the whole process. The session was tailored to my previous experience and delivered in a positive and encouraging style.
The access, premises , teaching materials and refreshments added to the pleasure of the session and I hope to return for further courses.
Emma has a vast array of colours and materials to choose from. Her explanation of techniques is excellent and her attention to those on the course is such that everyone achieves a really good standard in what they produce without any feeling of pressure. Emma’s years of experience enable her to see where she should offer guidance and when to let people to explore their own ideas. I really appreciate Emma’s approach: whilst I’m a novice I’m sure that even experienced felters would pick up tips and learn more from Emma.
I thoroughly enjoyed the flower making course which I attended as a complete beginner. Despite my inexperience, I was very pleased to see at the end of the morning, that I had quite a credible piece of work in progress! I left feeling that we had been given a very good introduction to the craft and I shall undoubtedly look to carry on.
