« More about this course organiser
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.
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.
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.
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.
A great course with a very good, knowledgeable teacher. Would recommend to anybody wanting to make a start with needle felting.
Wow! An absolutely fantastic day creating a lovable character to take home. Michelle is friendly, funny, knowledgable and patient, full of encouragement to help you breath life into your project.
A great way to spend the day, learning about animal anatomy, natural fibres as well as colours and shading..... Fabulous!
Just got home from a fabulous felting day with Michelle. Great teacher and you are made to feel very comfortable and able to produce a lovely felting product whatever your ability. A fun day and I would definitely recommend!
Really enjoyable course. Michelle was calm and encouraging and I manage to produce a reasonable looking hare by the end of the day!
Amazing day spent learning how to Needle Felt. Michelle was enthusiastic and patient and made the whole experience a real joy. I’m thrilled with my felted creation and really didn’t want the day to end. Can’t wait to get going with some more felting projects.
What a great relaxing fun and informative day. Michelle is a fantastic and generous teacher. The venue at Trumpet was lovely. Food and refreshments were delicious and added to the day. Looking forward to booking another day.
Lovely fun day today , great tuition with a fantastic funny lady. Produced a lovely hare with such character. Tasty lunch included, will recommend to my friends.
A brilliant day in a lovely place!
Michelle is a wonderful teacher.
I hadn’t done anything like this before and I felt it was probably a bit ambitious to try to make a sculpture of my labradoodle. However, she turned out really well and I fell in love with her about half way through the day.
When I got home the family couldn’t believe I hadn’t bought her!
I can’t wait to make another dog.
My nieces and I spent a wonderful day on a ‘Felting with Furzie’ course. Everything about the day was good; Michelle is a first class teacher and made the difficult seem easy.
We are all very proud of our efforts and plan to do another course soon.

We had a fantastic day learning how to needlefelt with Michelle. None of our group of 10 ladies had done it before, but Michelle was wonderful in taking us through each stage. We all had a superb day - I can't recommend enough!
Brilliant course. Michelle was just so encouraging and dedicated to delivering her skills/knowledge to enable some fantatic results for students.
One draw back was not starting on time which made a rush at the end but that was down to the owner of the venue not michelles fault.
In my opinion any more than 6 people is too many.
Im looking forward to returning in the near future. Good job michelle, everything was well provided by her to create a creature/animal. Fab course

This course is fantastic,we thoroughly enjoyed it, easy to understand, Michelle is an excellent teacher. Good food. Even catered for my gluten free diet,would recommend to anyone.
Michelle is a lovely, approachable tutor who worked hard all day to make sure we had a successful time. Her attention to detail was fantastic and she was well prepared. Plenty of good quality materials were available and all the equipment was provided as well.
The venue was very pleasant, the service was very good and the food was great.
The one downside was the delay in the starting of the day which led to a rush at the end of the day and most of the students had not quite finished.
Personally I think 8 students was 2 too many but I would go again.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Michelle was very informative and approachable. I can't believe we achieved what we did in the time given. It was amazing!
As a absolute beginner I found this course superb, Michelle was so helpful and encouraging and I found the atmosphere supportive and welcoming. A great venue as well with good facilities.
Thank you so much for a very informative and pleasant day. I very much enjoyed myself. I learned a lot of useful techniques. Once again thank you.
