"Booked this as a present for my Mum’s Birthday. We both really enjoyed the felting morning and enjoyed Lesley’s hospitality. We came away with some beautiful pieces of work that we were both really pleased with and are looking forward to returning next year. Thanks again Lesley"

"Three friends and I booked a day workshop as a surprise for a 50th birthday, and we all had a wonderful time not just the birthday girl! Lesley's tuition was just amazing and she was so patient with those of us who were perhaps not so artistically gifted...gave us such confidence! We all found it incredible how you can change strands of wool into a beautiful piece of felt and then a notebook cover....Lesley was very generous both with her materials and her time, and gave us the materials to try bead making at home when we had run out of time to do it at the workshop...we're looking forwards to being creative together again soon! Thanks too to Carl for making us lovely coffee and collecting the lunch and to Lesley for the delicious cake! (We also enjoyed meeting your gorgeous dogs....so well behaved!) We would all thoroughly recommend this course."

"My daughter and I love attending different craft workshops but neither of us had never experienced felting previously. We had a wonderful session with Lesley in her craft room with excellent tuition and materials . We were amazed at how well our first attempts at a picture turned out all due to Lesley's help and demonstrations. We would recommend Lesley's workshops to anyone who is interested in Felting as she has a passion for her craft and guides you through the steps, carefully explaining the processes to ensure success."

"I really don't know what I can add to all the well deserved comments left by the other women, but my friends and I have already booked to come again after the Christmas celebrations. I enjoyed myself far more that I thought I would and Lesley and her amazing workshop exceeded all my expectations. Lesley and Carl's home is a beautiful homely one and full of loads of her handiwork to help you with inspiration. I wish her well and continued power to her elbows."

"A brilliant introduction to felting and a lovely morning of craft, cake and chat. Lesley is passionate about what she does and shared her knowledge and expertise generously. I thoroughly enjoyed my morning, learned loads and have definitely got the felting bug. I'm already planning my next workshop."

"Bought a Christmas Felt making experience for me and my wife as our anniversary present and we weren't disappointed. It was great fun making the felt and then decorating a wreath with it. There were so many options to choose from, and we fully enjoyed ourselves! We couldn't recommend it highly enough."

"I had a go at a trial of this Christmas workshop and it was great fun. Even I made something that looked just as fabulous as the original. It's easy to do and the results are amazing. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a fun, relaxing day with like-minded people and a mince pie or two. What's wrong with Noddy Holder? It wouldn't be Christmas without him!"

"Had the pleasure of attending this workshop yesterday, worth every penny it was a lovely morning, Lesley is a very friendly, helpful tutor - who also makes the most amazing cake. The workshop did run over but that's a credit to Lesley who doesn't rush you at all, there were only 3 ladies so we had as much attention as we needed, we all left more than happy with our completed projects. Highly recommended."

"I can only endorse the many glowing comments of other satisfied customers. All of us came away with smiles a mile wide, having accomplished something which made us proud and in a glorious setting, with very attentive tuition. Lesley kept an unobtrusive, circumspect eye on us all...when gossiping meant we missed a stage, friendly advice prevented mishaps. It was more than just a course; to enjoy home-made cake, the rual setting and animals and her welcome and expertsie added to the experience. Thank you, Lesley!"

"I spent an amazing few hours with Lesley earlier this week making a felt pot. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it to everyone - I had previously completed the introduction course and found that really helpful when making my pot so would suggest doing that course first. There was a huge selection of fibres to choose from and Lesley was extremely patient helping us all to successfully make out own pot. Lesley made us feel very welcome, she provided beautiful homemade cake and we were able to go and feed the baby lamb and see the pigs during our break We were also able to purchase some beautiful eggs laid by Lesleys own hens. This was more than just a course it was a wonderful experience. If you get the chance go and play."

"Had a lovely workshop with Lesley learning to make felt pots. Fully recommend this workshop. Lesley is very generous with her time and very knowledgeable about felting and and different wools etc, she has a vast selection of different colours, silks, and textures that you can use to make your pot, which you get to take home. Nothing is to much trouble, and she makes a cracking cake too!"

This was a small family group and we really enjoyed being taught by Lesley - she has a gift for teaching, using encouragement and praise, showing endless patience and generosity. Excellent value!"

"I have never done felting before and found Lesley to be very kind and patient. She has an extremely large selection of wool for you to chose the colours that you would like to work with and was certainly very generous in giving you what you needed. We stopped for a cup of tea and home made cakes, which were delicious and then went back to finish our afternoon. We were having such a good time that we did not realise that we were past our stop time but this did not seem to bother Lesley at all. As someone who worries about travelling and parking etc I was so relieved to see that there was plenty of parking and very easy to find. Thank you for a lovely afternoon."

"I had a very enjoyable afternoon with Lesley on the beginners felt workshop. We were made to feel really welcome and Lesley was so generous with her patience, knowledge and materials. Lesley explained everything so clearly and i left with two pieces of felt. I am now trying to arrange a date to return to do the felted pots workshop. Thank you for a wonderful time"
