  • 5/5 from Tracey Frazer, attended Sep 2026: What a wonderful class today, I learnt so much about felting. Amanda is so patient & knowledgable & she shares her knowledge in a really informative way. I learnt about the Wool we use, to how to make all the elements that make a wattle tree. I might add some longer leaves & a little more of the yellow. Thankyou for another wonderful class Amanda. Everyone made such beautiful & unique wattles, mum & I really enjoyed your class. I will be back & so will my mum.

I've always been drawn to the arts and the act of creating—it's been a constant thread throughout my life. Whether through painting, writing, design, or experimenting with new mediums, the creative process has always offered me a sense of purpose and joy. There's something deeply satisfying about learning a new skill, watching it take shape through practice, and seeing an idea come to life through my own hands. For me, creating isn’t just about the final product—it’s about the journey, the discovery, and the fulfillment that comes from turning imagination into something real.
As a Primary School teacher, I love watching my students learn and grow. It is important to me that I create a friendly, calm and welcoming environment so that all learners can achieve and enjoy the process of creating, no matter where they are on their learning journey, in a nurturing environment.
Working with wool, such wet and needle felting, ties us to history and the age old craft of creating with natural fibres. Whether it is a piece of art work, functional object or a piece to wear, working with wool is a beautiful medium that provides a calming and mindful process that allows our mind to wander while we stay focused on the creative experience.
