Had no idea what went into felting! It was great value for money, Shelly is a wonderful teacher. It feels great being able to take home something useful and creative that you made yourself !

Had a lovely time at the Decorative Embroidery Class with Michelle at the Fabric and Felt Studio. She was friendly and informative and allowed you to work at your own pace. Everything we needed for the class was supplied and I was very pleased with my finished piece.

My 2nd workshop and already booked into a 3rd.
Think this one was even more fun than the first. Unintentionally picked a difficult painting as inspiration but Shelley had fabulous ideas and ended up with very fun "painting"

A few bits to finish off at home. However very proud and smile as soon as I look at what was achieved today.

So many fantastic textures to play with.

Ohthanks Erin! Yes you did challenge me! But I was determined for you to come away with your cat. Looking forward to seeing what you create at your next workshop.

Shelley was absolutely fantastic. Her 4 students were doing different techniques, using different colours and processes. We all felt we were given the attention we needed to achieve the outcome we were looking for. The studio is well stocked and extremely clean and inviting. I would be more than happy to recommend this course to anyone. Thanks for a great day Shelley. You are a fabulous teacher
