June Aitken reviewed: Needle-felting course with FURZIE - Forge Mill Needle Museum, Redditch

"My second needle felting course with Michelle at The Pedlars Tray and yet again a wonderful day. Michelle gives time to all her students and offers suggestions, advice and useful tips throughout the day. Even if you can't finish your project on the day she makes sure you have enough materials to complete at home."

"We went as a family group, myself and two daughters and we all had a fab time learning something new and having a girlie day out as well! Might even have a go at home with the skills we have learnt."

"I attended this course and had a superb day learning a new craft. Michelle was a great teacher putting everyone at ease, at no time did I feel rushed or ignored. Michelle was there to answer any questions and step in if anyone got stuck on their next move. I would thoroughly recommend this course to everyone. The only downside is that I now have to find some room for my new craft supplies !"

"I really enjoyed my day. Michelle was an excellent teacher and created a very relaxed atmosphere. It is great to be able to complete (nearly) a whole project in a day and have something worthwhile to take home. I would thoroughly recommend the course."

"I went with a friend not really knowing what needle felting was all about, we had the most lovely day learning from Michelle who was an excellent teacher in a lovely setting. We were both amazed with what we were able to produce in a relaxed atmosphere. The lunch , cake and coffee were a welcome, tasty addition. I would highly recommend this course to anyone, you will be amazed what you take home and the skills to carry on and be creative at home. I will certainly be booking again!"

"I've done two workshops with Michelle and can thoroughly recommend them. She is patient and helpful and even needle-felt newbies will go home with something to be proud of! As for the location - it's all been said, and I agree!"

"What a brilliant day! I'm a complete craft klutz but Michelle was so patient, encouraging and skilful that by the end of the day I was thrilled to take home a delightful Herbert the Hare. Everything about the day was wonderful - choice of location (the very lovely Lapstone shopping centre), refreshments, company and of course the felt-knitting. Never done anything like this before and found it very absorbing and satisfying. An outstandingly enjoyable day. Am looking forward to doing more of Michelle's courses and will encourage my friends to take part as well."

"A well-organised class in a great location. The pace of the learning was great and because of the smaller group numbers, everyone could progress at their own comfort level. Really pleased with not only what I made on the day, but the skills I learned. The cost represents excellent value for money - I'd highly recommend going with a few friends as the laughs are as good as the course :)"

"I have never tried needle felting before, but when a friend could not attend I filled her place at the last moment. I had a great time and managed to make a rat, all I have to do is add his whiskers! I would thoroughly recommend this course. Michelle is a good and patient teacher."

"I spent a really enjoyable day on this course at Lapstone yesterday. It was the second time I have attended one of Michelle's courses (last one 5 months ago) and I learnt as much the second time as I did the first! Once again, I came away with a lovely felted friend, this time a hare. Excellent value (discount for second attendance!) and sooo therapeutic! No artistic ability needed (lucky for me!) as we are taken patiently through each of the stages. Highly recommended."

"Wonderful day. Enjoyed every moment of it. Michelle is an inspiring and creative tutor. I was totally absorbed by the process throughout. Very addictive in the best possible sense. Cannot wait to go on another workshop soon. My daughter wants to join me for one after seeing the Airedale terrier that I produced."

"I had a wonderful relaxing time and came away with Reggie who developed attitude as he came to life on the table. Not only a hare for Easter but a hare for all seasons. Also an excellent lunch and cake provided by the Trumpet tea rooms. Michelle is an excellent teacher for anyone like me who is new to the world of needle felt."

"This is a fabulous course for beginners as well as more advanced students. Everyone is given a generous bag with all the tools and materials required to make their designated piece (plus plenty of wool to make a second piece at home). I wanted to make a budgie, which Michelle had not made before. She was so organised she had made a version of one before the course to show me the possibilities including coming up with clever ideas for the claws. At home I was able to use the techniques to fiddle and play and change my bird to further improve his shape and features. The hares, fox, dog, cat, rabbits made in class were of incredible standard. I was really impressed. I would like to do more! Puffin?!"

"Loved the Furzie course. I took my friend as a birthday present and she loved it too. Michelle is an excellent and patient teacher with a friendly and approachable manner. I was surprised at the excellent level everyone on the course achieved. We also had lovely refreshments and lunch provided and came home with a complete felting kit as part of our fee for the course. Excellent value for money."

"Absolutely brilliant course. Perfect number of people and a really nice, friendly atmosphere. Good amount of time spent with the Michelle, but was also nice to be left to have a little play. Great value for money, and I always like to come away with some goodies which are included in the cost of the course. Very pleased with what I managed to make and I would thoroughly recommend trying it - I've got the bug now and have already made another animal."

"Had the best time on this course which was bought for me as a Christmas gift. I'd fallen in love with Michelle's creations at a Christmas Fair and was really looking forward to the workshop. Not being particularly crafty I was hooked from the moment we started. It's so addictive and the day went so quickly, I didn't want to go home! Michelle is a fantastic teacher, and being part of a small group meant you get lots of personal tuition. I am so proud of my hare, and am already planning my next felt project! Course location is excellent, very friendly folk at Trumpet Tea Rooms with lovely lunch and cake!"
