Lucy Phillips-Kassanis reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"My sisters and I booked this course as a 60th birthday gift for our Step-Mum and are so glad we did! We spent a few hours with Yvonne at her home in Stroud learning how to felt, creating designs inside teacups. Yvonne is a great teacher and was also very welcoming and accommodating, providing us with endless tea and even some delicious cake. It was such a lovely, relaxing and creative group activity which I would highly recommend!"

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Aw Lucy , it was such a pleasure to felt with you lovely ladies. I am so pleased you enjoyed your felting project, you all did so well, and beginners too, amazing results. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your day celebrating with your lovely step mum. Be great to felt with you all again, Yvonne. "

Sarah Y reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"I recently did this workshop with my two grown up daughters and my daughter in law. It was such a fun morning making woodland animals. Yvonne was very good at guiding us as none of us had ever done needle felting before. We were all pleased with the cute little animal that we came away with. Yvonne has a lovely crafting space with plenty of room, and she is very experienced and knowledgable in her field. She was kind enough to provide drinks and cake as well. An altogether lovely morning! "

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Sarah, it was a pleasure to host your birthday workshop, for such lovely ladies, you all did so well, felting like pros not beginners. Your animals were so cute and characterful. I am so pleased you enjoyed the workshop, be great to felt with you again. Yvonne. "

Lucy reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"I thoroughly enjoyed it! Yvonne was a kind, patient and attentive teacher who not only shared her wonderful materials but her knowledge of the craft, leaving us free to invent and create our own pieces! I can recommend it for sure!"

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Thank you Lucy, it was such a pleasure to felt with you all. Your piece was so inventive, a pretty scene of your school garden so personal and a great memory. I hope the children enjoy seeing it and perhaps have a go at felting themselves. Yvonne. "

"A lovely morning with my sisters at a felt needling workshop in Stroud. Our teacher Yvonne was very patient especially with me as I am not a natural crafter. We made different scenes in vintage teacups and are super happy with the outcomes. I think my sisters are going to take it up! Thanks very much Yvonne xx"

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Iona, thank you so much for your review. I feel that you learnt quickly, great result for a beginner. I thought your lavender field and house was very competent, well done. "

Mary reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"Yvonne hosted us for my hen do. As a bird lover the hens had picked the theme of birds for us to needle felt and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yvonne was able to guide and help everyone and we had amazing cake and prosecco. I would thoroughly recommend this as a hen do activity, and the bonus is you get a forever memory of the event in the item you create - a little robin bird in my case! "

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Mary, I am so pleased you enjoyed your hen do, it was a pleasure to host you all. Such amazing results for first time felters. Your lovely little birds were so cute, hopefully you will be inspired to keep needle felting. Wishing you all the best for your upcoming nuptials."

Lauren reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"Yvonne hosted 11 of us for a hen do. We were all new to needle felting and unsure how we’d get on with so many of us and just one instructor. Yvonne had detailed instructions for all our felting requests and she didn’t sit down once in the 3 hours we were there, ensuring we all had her support when needed. I think we were all really impressed with our creations thanks to Yvonne’s guidance. I would highly recommend this craft course. Yvonne was a great instructor and host. Stabbing wool is oddly therapeutic!"

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Thank you so much Lauren, it was a pleasure to host for such a lovely group. You all did so well and should be very proud of your creations, the cutest flock of birds ever. Hopefully you will be inspired to keep felting, as you say, it is rather therapeutic. "

Anne reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"A wonderful morning spent with Yvonne. She is very welcoming and friendly. There was a good choice of things to make for beginner to those who have felted before. As a beginner I was advised which projects were suitable, and I chose a baby hedgehog. There were 5 of us so Yvonne had plenty of time to give each of us the help we needed. Yvonne has lots of wool to enable a choice for each project. I would highly recommend learning with Yvonne. "

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Thank you Anne for such a comprehensive and glowing review. I do like to offer a choice of projects to suit each individual. I am so pleased you had an enjoyable morning, you did so well as a beginner, your baby hedgehog was adorable. I do hope you continue with your new found craft, It would be lovely to felt with you again, Yvonne. "

Sam O-G reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"My three children (aged 11 and 10) did a three hour workshop. Yvonne hosted brilliantly. She gave us options on what to make, and allowed us to do a bespoke session aligned to our love of pugs! We each came away with a unique pug bauble, having had a great time choosing our colours and accessories. She even supplied very yummy snacks. I would highly recommend this course for complete beginners to experienced crafters. "

Jacinta reviewed: Needle felt workshop

"I had a lovely morning learning needle felting with Yvonne. She is a really good teacher; she explained each stage of the process really well, was very encouraging and didn't rush us to finish. She was happy for the course to run over the expected finish time, so that we all completed our squirrels and were happy with what we made. I am now inspired to dig out the half finished needle-felting kit I gave up on some time ago. Doing a course with a good teacher really helps you learn a skill and you have someone to help you if you are unsure of how to do something. Thank you Yvonne and CraftCourses"

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Thank you so much Jacinta for such a thorough and positive review. I am so pleased you are now confident to felt your Gloucestershire Old Spot. It was fun felting with you, hope to see you again, Yvonne. "

"Brilliant present for family member and I booked myself on too. Very accommodating and Yvonne gives you free reign to just have a go and be creative, even if you are a bit ambitious! ? I wasn't able to finish mine but she gave me the info and last bits of wool I would need to do so at home and I think I have found a new hobby. Couldn't recommend enough."

Needle Felt Art responded:

"Thank you Scarlett, you both worked so hard , with great results. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you need any help finishing off your giraffe. It was a really fun afternoon, be delighted to felt with you again."
