What some kind people have said......

"Thanks very much for a really enjoyable course yesterday, I had great fun and found it really inspirational! I must also say you were a very positive and patient tutor. All-in-all it was the best arts/craft course I've been on, and well worth the trip."

"Just a quick email to say thank you so much for a fabulously inspirational day on Sunday !! My tea cosy has dried out beautifully and has pride of place ! I know my friend Kym enjoyed it too and we both are keen to do more felting at home."

"I just wanted to say an ENORMOUS THANK YOU for today's felt making course. I had a fabulous day and enjoyed all I learnt and meeting with the other delightful students.  A studio like yours is definately on my 'wants' list now so I can have my own 'arty playroom'!  Thank you so much again-and for a lovely lunch!"

"I want to say thankyou for a really super day on Sunday, it was great. Being in your inspirational studio with a lovely group of students, a delicious lunch and of course being taught by you was wonderful. My husband Ted was very impressed, I think he would like to have a go himself!"

"Thank you for the great course. Everyone really enjoyed it, and we are all very proud of our bags!"

"Thank you so much for teaching us! We all had marvellous fun! We have sewed our handles on, and have already started using our bags."

"I truly enjoyed yesterday - so much so that I have been in work since 8 this morning and haven't done any thing but talk about felting - my mind is doing overtime on felt - thanks to you and your patience and guidance - you were a great teacher and a source of inspiration - and as for your work shop it was like being in a sweety shop - Many thanks again!"

"Thank you so much for your time today....I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and can't wait to show the kids tomorrow at school the results of my efforts!!"

"Thank you so much for a wonderful day making felt. I really enjoyed it. Day off work tomorrow and have got plans to make more felt, I love it!!"

"Just to say thanks for a wonderful day! I really enjoyed it and will definitely have a go at home."

"A quick note to thank you for a very enjoyable day. I feel inspired to make more felt and can't wait until next week when I'm not working, to start. Thank you for the delicious lunch and many drinks too!"

"I'd just like to say what a fabulous day I had on Sunday. I've been happily felting away in the spare bedroom ever since!"

"Thankyou for a lovely day and for making us so welcome. I am VERY pleased with my bag. I really enjoyed seeing your lovely house.

"Thank you so much for a lovely day/course. It was such a nice way to spend a Sunday and you've taught me so much and answered all the questions I had about felt making in such a lovely way."

"Many thanks for the wonderful felt making workshop yesterday. I really enjoyed myself AND I've now got a one-off felt bag that I actually made myself; even my husband was impressed! "I can see a lot of friends and family receiving felt bags or cobweb scarves as presents ...."

Many thanks for a really enjoyable and satisfying day out yesterday. I was very pleased with my first stab at felt making and am definately inspired to do more."

"Thank you for a most enjoyable day. I feel fully inspired to try some more felt making at home although I may have to wait a day to let my tired arms recover! My bag has been much admired already and I am really rather proud of it too."
