Liz Priest reviewed: Painting with wool & silk fibres - Feltmaking

"My Sister, Mum and myself thoroughly enjoyed our day feltmaking with Barbara. Barbara guided us through the process extremely well, she supported us and gave confidence to use our creative minds. In the day we made a felted picture and a felted bowl. We were all impressed with our creations and amazed we completed them both within the day. We would highly recommend this course & it doesn’t matter if you are new to feltmaking as Barbara will expertly guide you. Thank you Barbara for a lovely creative day. Liz, Caroline & Margaret"

Barbara was the perfect teacher- calm and encouraging throughout the day. Barbara is very talented and inspired my young companion. A most enjoyable day. "

Alex reviewed: Small needle felted animals or pictures

"Had a wonderful time. Was the first time I’ve tried felting and it was therapeutic and so much fun. I was very happy with what I made. Barbara gives plenty of guidance, and you can choose what you want to make. Also Barbara is a lovely host, attentive, with lots of interesting stories and wonderful homemade cake "
