Gail Hill reviewed: Furzie's Needle Felt Workshop - Somerset

"Had a really fabulous day with the lovely Michelle. She was warm, friendly, knowledgable and as a complete novice who’d never even picked up a needle, I came away feeling confident and thrilled with my hare, made during the day. My workshop was at Bowdens Farm at the Furzie studio, which was a great location and an absolute awe inspiring treasure trove for Michelle’s incredible felt creations. Would highly recommend, felting really is a wonderful meditative craft and Michelle’s guidance and tuition was a brilliant introduction to my felting journey."

"What a lovely day! I spent it with Michelle and one other lady, and made a beautiful replica of our Cockapoo. I didn’t think I’d be able to complete something which seemed potentially difficult but Michelle showed us in very easy stages how to make a wire frame and then gradually build up the body and head. It was fascinating to see how it developed and took on our dog’s character. It was a lovely relaxed day with lunch chosen from a delicious menu, provided by one of the other artisan businesses on the farm. I would recommend it wholeheartedly. "

Furzie responded:

"Thanks Janet!!"

"Excellent course, really enjoyed the relaxed pace and instruction especially as this was a craft never tried previously. Michelle's enthusiasm for the craft and gentle reassurance to trust in the process was both infectious and reassuring. Great lunch provided. Would highly recommend. "

"Wow! What a fantastic day! I booked this workshop for me and my mum. We had such a lovely time and were so pleased with what we made on the day - they were both far better than we expected to come away with. Michelle was lovely and so knowledgeable and had the patience of a saint! The venue was fab too and to top it off we had a lovely lunch! Thank you Michelle for a fantastic day - we will definitely be back! :)"

Furzie responded:

"Thanks for the lovely review Hannah! Very much appreciated."

"If you've ever FELT like needle FELTING, this is the course for you. Amazing to leave with a fully formed animal at the end of the day. Great fun day out with friends.

The day flew by so quickly, we learnt different techniques and the whole atmosphere and crafting was very therapeutic. Definitely inspired by Michelle’s wonderful work - will be taking up as my new hobby - highly recommend to all "

"Had a great day needle felting. Michelle is lovely, she had some great tips for using wire to create the shape for your project. Lovely lunch & good company. I found the whole day to be very therapeutic with several reminders from Michelle to relax our shoulders, it was just what I needed. Book a class, take a friend for a fun day & learn a new skill would be my recommendation."

"Thank you Michelle for an enjoyable day. As a complete beginner you made it easy to understand and I am thrilled with the Hare I made. "

Julie Walsh reviewed: Needle Felting course with FURZIE at Pirzwell Workshop, Cullompton, Devon

"I attended the needle felting course in Aug 2022 and was amazed at what was achieved in one day (with some help!) as a complete beginner. I brought home a near completed Airedale with instructions as to how to finish him at home. Michelle made the course fun and was full of encouragement. Dottie supplied lunch and was very hospitable. I would highly recommend this course and if you are a complete beginner, do not worry as you are fully supported throughout."

Mandy Childs reviewed: Needle Felting course with FURZIE at Pirzwell Workshop, Cullompton, Devon

"I’ve just spent the day on a barge in Gloucester Dock learning felting. It was brilliant. Michelle is a fabulous teacher and really fun. We had a short practice and then got straight on to our projects. We all chose hares but Michelle is happy for people to choose anything they wish. It’s very therapeutic and the day flew by. For me a course is in large part made by the person running it and Michelle gets a 10 out of 10. Great value and highly recommend."

Hilary reviewed: Needle felting course with FURZIE at Trumpet Corner Tea Rooms, Ledbury, Herefordshire

"Brilliant felting day.... Michelle was an amazing teacher who had patience and encouragement for us all as previous non felters. Felting is great fun and I adored the hare that I made - it's right, they do take on a personality of their own after a while!! The food was lovely too - soup and sandwiches and mid afternoon, a cream tea... we were all spoiled. I would highly recommend this as a day doing crafting - its creative and fun."

Judy reviewed: Needle-felting course with FURZIE at Broadway Tower

"Michelle is an excellent teacher making everything seem possible. I’d never tried 3D felting before and was delighted with the result she guided me to achieve. The cost and venue of the day course were both most acceptable and I’d recommend others to give it a go with Furzie."

Shirley Bull reviewed: Needle felting course with Furzie at Crispin Hall, Street

"A lovely day in the beautiful craft room above Crispin Hall. Michelle is an excellent teacher, generous with both her time and knowledge, not to mention biscuits! She is warm and humorous too enabling everyone to feel relaxed and comfortable. I learnt more than the just the basics and came away keen to do more. The group size was just right - there were 7 on this occasion. The food supplied by the cafe's chef downstairs was excellent (tomato and red pepper soup and a delicious lemon Victoria sponge cake). Highly recommended to anyone wanting to discover this addictive craft."
