A nice skill to learn and was very well organised and set up. Great teacher

This was a really lovely class. I tend to be a bit hopeless with a needle and went into the class doubtful that I would make anything like as pretty as in the pictures advertising the class, but I was so happy with what I made. The class was very well taught - Gwen was patient and friendly and taught for every individual's pace. I think the kit is great value and amazingly generous - I only used about a third of the felt, so I'm thinking of trying to wet-felt some beads next! Highly recommended - I'm looking forward to trying another class with Gwen

Gwen was so encouraging and informative - I now have a new craft addiction. I very much enjoyed this workshop and what a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thank you Gwen :-)

To create a painting, she uses both needle-felting and wet-felting techniques; often using several rounds of both to achieve the desired effect. Needle-felting is the process by which a barbed needle is used to tangle coloured wool into place, whilst wet-felting uses…
