"Had a fabulous day in this workshop. Josephine's knowledge of techniques and how materials behave in felting is impressive and she imparts her knowledge in an encouraging and effective way, There was a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere amongst the course participants. We were all delighted with our finished work and our success was due to Josephine's excellent tuition. I would highly recommend this workshop."

Phinefibre responded:

"Thank you so much for writing such a lovely and thoughtful review and for your recommendation. Very pleased you had an enjoyable, relaxed day making your own choice of a beautiful atmospheric heather moorland picture. Happy I was able to get across my long held passion for this fabulous way of making felted pictures, including imparting how different wool and plant fibres react and blend together. "
