Roisin Bourne Hill reviewed: Residential Felt Wing making weekend course (Adults only OR Parent and child)

"Although the teaching is pretty 'laid back' we all managed to make a very beautiful set of wings in the time we had. The tutors and host are all very friendly, the farm is great fun and the food is guaranteed to tempt the most awkward appetite; in fact it's quite easy to spend a lot of time munching! Bring clothes you don't mind getting soaked - it's a sloshy business but definitely worth it. If you can't drive, there is a train station very close by and the taxis don't charge city prices."

I Jack reviewed: Residential Felt Wing making weekend course (Adults only OR Parent and child)

"The farm is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and the accommodation is basic but very comfy and clean. The food is plentiful and very tasty and there really is lots of cake to eat. Penny, Julie and Sue (the tutors) are very helpful , patient when teaching and great fun too. I'm not really very arty and didn't think I'd make very good wings but I went along with my friend who wanted to go but I was amazed at how beautiful the wings I made are. I'm so pleased with myself and the tutors make it feel easy and fun when making the wings ! There is loads of ribbon and glittery gems and fake flowers and beautiful coloured wool to use to make the wings .The Saturday evening party was fun too and really made the weekend feel like a getaway. I really recommend going on this weekend even if you are not a person who makes stuff because you will learn how to do a craft, come home with a beautiful set of wings and will have had great fun too. I'm going to hang mine up on my bedroom wall as a decoration. I will be doing this again just to getaway from life for a bit and my niece now wants a pair of wings too ."
