Q: Is the location easy to find?
Yes, The Little Red Cottage, 20 Coral street, Maleny is incredibly easy to find and set in the fabulous Maleny hinterland town.
Q: How long does the class take?
It takes between 2 to 3 hours to make a squirrel. You will learn the skills. We have the space until 13.30pm to allow for clean up, so you can take a short break to have coffee or a light lunch, or wait until after. That is 3 1/2 hours from start time, as everyone works at own pace.
Q: Do you teach other classes?
Yes I will be incorporating a few different needle felting classes in the future, but squirrels are my favourite so I wanted to start my class bento journey with the fabulous little guy...
Q: Can I bring my child for the class?
At this point, I will not be offering classes for children, maybe in the future but obviously need blue card first.
Q: Will you sell kits?
Yes, I will have a few kits available for sale after so you can continue your felting lifestyle?
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: Free to cancel or reschedule up until 4 days before the class
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 3 hours - 3.5 hours, $95 per guest
