Diana Fellowes reviewed: A complete introduction to felt-making

"We found our way to Hilary through searching online for a course on felting to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. We knew nothing! We were rewarded by a truly wonderful experience. We were greeted to her beautiful Elizabethan home by Hilary and her lovely gentle dogs. No boring classroom, but superb instruction in her warm kitchen. We knew we were in the presence of a very talented teacher/artist/crafter who was so generous with her knowledge and all her materials. We came home on a high with articles made which were admired by the family, and even a bag of goodies to get us going. We are now hooked. Thank you so much Hilary."

"My friends and I enjoyed a very interesting day on a fe!ting course at Hilary's house, in its beautiful setting. She was very knowledgeable and encouraging and inspired us to make a good selection of felted objects, using different techniques. A goody bag was also included so that we could embellish our artefacts at home. We were delighted with our achievements.. which far exceeded our expectations. We would thoroughly recommend this course! Thank you, Hilary."

"What a lovely day I had at Hilary's house learning to felt. Not too many students, four on this occasion, which means not waiting for help. It was relaxed and friendly. Hilary is a great teacher and we managed to achieve far more than I expected. I came away buzzing with ideas. I loved it that she gave us some materials to take away so we could carry on at home before we managed to get some supplies in :-) I thought that was generous and thoughtful."
