Sarah reviewed: Felt Lampshades at Silversoles Studio, Birmingham

"We've has a very creative couple of days with Emma at her lovely garden studio. We were given plenty of guidance on the practical elements of felting and putting a lampshade together but also space to design a fabric that worked for our rooms. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this course to anyone who wants to create a unique piece of practical art in a friendly, relaxed setting."
