"I had a really lovely day at Lapstone. Michelle is an excellent tutor and I was able to produce something I never thought I would be able to do. I had a day where I completely lost myself in the craft ... total relaxation and escapism. Thank you. would love to do another sometime."

"My first craft course ever and it was really fun. I felted a hare which I adore but which unfortunately gained the name "snot" when at home as it was discovered that you could put your finger up his nose; a design fault easily rectified although the name has stuck! The day flew by! :) I thought I wouldn't get anywhere near finishing but I was wrong. The course gave me all the skills and confidence to easily make a few final touches and adjustments when I got home . I found out that it is impossible to go wrong felting, absolutely any mistake is easily and quickly mended. I can't wait to get more wool and try to design another creature. Michelle was very friendly and patient and has given me a new hobby which I think I will love. Thank you :)"

"A brilliant day with a brilliant tutor. A lovely location at Lapstones with customers mingling, such a good way of promoting the class. We began the day with a welcoming coffee and time to meet others on the course, at 12.30 we were served with a delicious lunch. Everyone managed to make the animal of their choice with the superb guidance of Michelle."

"What a fabulous needlefelting course! Really enjoyed my day at The Trumpet learning a new craft under the expert tuition of Michelle, who is very talented (and also very patient!). Everyone works at their own pace so you never feel rushed and Michelle always steps in to offer help and guidance along the way. I would thoroughly recommend attending this course; it's a great day out!"

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

"My daughter and I had a wonderful day. It was the first time I had ever persuaded her to embark on any craft whatsoever. A great success. She made a lovely copy of her dog and she's now enthusiastic about repeating the experience with a couple of our friends early next year. Although I didn't complete my dog, he is looking very realistic and I know that Michelle will be on hand if I get stuck finishing him. Michelle is a great instructor - clear instructions, jumping in to help get back on track when it's needed, and happy to let you do a bit of experimenting. Very generous to share her wonderful expertise and talent. Lunch was excellent, and we all loved the afternoon scones and cakes. All in all a great day."

"I loved it. I loved the way that Michelle brings a total relaxing atmosphere to the workshop with no judgement and just constructive help and encouragement. I have learned a lot and really enjoyed sharing this experience with the rest of the group. The group is not too big which allow for some nice exchanges with others during the day. I am going back to another one as it was a real treat to be part of this workshop and to be really proud of my achievement."

"A thoroughly good day. The standard of teaching was excellent, the group size (8) was just right. The venue and facilities were good and refreshments and lunch also very good. Michelle gave us such encouragement that I am definitely going to have a go at home and then will probably do another course to improve and try a different animal."

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

"Michelle was an excellent teacher providing just the right level of detail when we needed it. Maybe it was because I took too long on the wire frame, the gorgeous lunch or fabulous cake but I didn't finish. I panicked a bit at the end stabbing furiously but she made me concentrate on the ears and I'm pleased to say they went well. It looked like a dog - not quite my dog but definitely a canine!! I would have liked the course to have gone on longer but maybe if I do another I will be quicker. It was a fun interesting day that I'd love to repeat, thank you"

"What a thoroughly enjoyable course! I have been wanting to learn needle felting for some time now and finally got round to booking a workshop which I attended yesterday (18th October) in Herefordshire. Michelle is an excellent teacher and started us off well with the basics, but kept things moving to ensure we would leave at the end of the day with something we were pleased with. She explained everything very clearly along with a good sense of humour and spent time with each of us throughout the day to help and guide us. There were 8 of us on the course which I thought was an ideal number. A delicious lunch and afternoon cakes and drinks were also provided. The day just whizzed by! We were given the felting needles and mats to take home and also enough wool to be able to make any finishing touches to our creations. I will definitely be booking on another of Michelle's workshops to try my hand at a different animal!! In summary - great teacher, great course, great location, great value for money!!!"

"I had a wonderful day with Michelle - felt like I had been on holiday. Excellent tuition and attentiveness. Would like to attend another course and maybe make a hare although the Border Terrier I made was just so good that I may have to make another one so I have a pair!! Excellent value and food was superb."

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

"I attended a course with Michelle without a clue of what felting was. I was apprehensive that my skills wouldn't be good enough to create anything like the beautiful creations on her website. How wrong was I!! Michelle arrived with all her prepping for the class already done. Everyone was given a bag containing all the materials they would need to create their chosen animal and Michelle had even printed out a large A4 picture of the the animal so that you have a guide to work to. Her friendly approach soon had the class of 8 relaxed and ready to spend a day crafting. Felting really is the most satisfying absorbing thing to do. The animals built really quickly and everyone felt so pleased with their creations. They were just fab!! Michelle was always at hand assisting where required and was totally approachable. The venue at the Trumpet Tea Rooms was perfect with morning coffee, lunch and a slice of cake with another drink in the afternoon. I felt the course offered excellent value for money and would really recommend it to anyone."

"Once again at Lapstones, I had a lovely day with Michelle's expertise & great company. Michelle is so good at making you at ease & making a difficult problem so easy to do with her help. Every one of us went home fulfilled with our hares finished & full of motivation for the project. Looking forward to the next time Pat Barker"

"Just fabulous! I was lucky enough to win a voucher towards one of craft courses courses (thank you for my prize!) and having looked at every one available, chose this. It was an excellent choice... the location (delicious food and more lovely people), the materials but most of all the tuition and encouragement were brilliant. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and a new furry friend to bring home. Thank you Michelle for an outstanding day!"

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

"I loved this course- you get so much packed into a short time and I love the hare that I made. I have learned something really useful and would like to attend another workshop in the future. Michelle is a great teacher and has a good sense of humour ( Think Jo Brand? hope that is not offensive Michelle!). The course is excellent value. The cost includes a take home kit and all the materials . You also get coffee, lunch and tea or coffee and delicious cake in the afternoon. The environment is lovely at the Trumpet art gallery as well. Would highly recommend this course."

"It was a lovely day. Michelle is a great teacher and even I (not at all artistic) made a lovely hare, which I was proud to take home. It has had some good reviews from family and friends and I will definitely be doing more in the future. Thank you Michelle for all your patience and help."

"Had a wonderful day learning to needle felt yesterday. Michelle was very patient and gave everyone in the group as much time and help as required. This was my very first attempt at the craft but I will certainly be booking another day to gain confidence and experience."
