C Hewitt reviewed: Wet Felt Making Pictures in Hebden Bridge

"I really enjoyed this course. Josephine was a very good teacher. She explained and demonstrated the techniques very well and was very encouraging. I came home with a new skill and a lovely wet felted picture. "

"Really enjoyed the felting course with Jo. She was a fabulous teacher - very patient and encouraging. Me and my friend hadn’t ever done felting before the course but by the end of it we had made ourselves little replicas of our own dogs (almost !) 😊 The day was set at our pace, with a very relaxed atmosphere in a lovely building. Jo has so much experience and the credentials to match, and as expected her work is pretty spectacular. Such a nice person who is incredibly talented. Highly recommend any course run by Jo. Thank you "

"I attended the cats and dogs course with friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Josephine demonstrated each step and was there to help every step of the way. I was extremely pleased with the end result and look forward to doing more felting in the very near future. Thanks to Josephine for a most enjoyable day."

Caron Kilroy reviewed: Needle felted Dogs and Cats in Hebden Bridge

"I went along to the needle felting cats and dogs course as a complete novice in February 2024. The studio is a fabulous Aladdins cave of craft in an incredible historic building. Josephine is so talented at her many fibre crafts and was super helpful and kind and guided us all so well in making our animals. I absolutely love the whole day and am proud of my dog as my first attempt at it. If you are looking for a fun course to do, this is the one. This is ideal and you would be hard pushed to find anybody with Josephine’s knowledge. I really loved it. Thank you so much. "

Phinefibre responded:

"Hi Caron, Delighted you had a lovely day learning all about needle felting animals and enjoyed the studio space or my ‘Aladdins cave’. Thank you so much for your very kind thoughts about my fibre arts skills, much appreciated."
