Alison Clement reviewed: Needle felted puffin

"Thank you so much for such an enjoyable course. After trying to teach myself (rather unsuccessfully, it has to be said!) needle felting from kits, it was a joy to discover that I could achieve a finished product without using polystyrene balls! I was delighted with my finished dog and frankly amazed at what I achieved within the timeframe! Rachel and Rhian were fab-excellent instructors and were warm and friendly and made everyone feel very welcome. I would thoroughly recommend attending one of these courses."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Wow, thank you Alison. Your cat was easily recognisable as a cat. I am glad we were able to renew your confidence and inspire you to keep going with felting. We also now have made sure we have a supply of reading glasses available for the close up work to try and help there as well! We look forward to seeing you soon."

"Really enjoyed my day with Rachel and Rhian learning to make a needle felt dog. I felt that the course was excellent value for money and that the tuition was superb. Can't wait to see what courses are available in September."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you Cathy for such kind words! We now have the new courses available for you to choose from as promised. We are so glad you had a good day and enjoyed the process and the final result. Hope to see you soon."

Wendy Robins reviewed: Needle felted puffin

"I had never done any felting at all before this workshop. I was delighted to have produced a landscape which my husband immediately recognised as Three Cliffs Bay. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. Many thanks to Rachel and Rhian for such a productive day."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Hi Wendy, I am so glad your husband recognised the image . You produced a beautiful piece of work and were a joy to work alongside. We hope to see you soon and at the festival of Stitch. I have your colours ready for you to look at for your next project! Best Wishes Rach"

Cheryl McKeon Slater reviewed: Felted art or 3d bear or hare with 2 Inspire You

"My Mum and I had a fabulous day with Rachel and Rhian - our first attempt at needlefelting. It was totally absorbing and we produced two super hares - way beyond what we thought would be possible as beginners. Both Rachel and Rhian are lovely, warm and friendly - and great teachers with lots of patience and tips on developing skills. The course was amazing value and the Community Hall in Gorseinon is a really good venue - a nice light space with all the facilities you need - including free parking. I can't recommend the course highly enough and look forward to signing up on another course soon. Hasta la vista Rachel & Rhian - we'll be back!"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much Cheryl! It was a pleasure to meet both you and your mum. You both worked hard on the day and deserved the hares you had at the end of the day. It is good to be able to laugh and share with each other throughout the day. Thank you for the amazing photos you took as well. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Rach x"

Linda Richards reviewed: Needle felted puffin

"This was my second skills workshop with Heartfelt 2 Inspire I was made to feel very welcome. I have learnt new skills in felting, along with discovering I also like the look of wet felting. Rachel is a kind and patient tutor, as I am a qualified question asker! I will be pleased to recommend these workshops to anyone who want to try this interesting form of working with wool. I will be returning. Many Thanks to Rachel and her team. Regards Linda"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you Linda, it was good to have you back with us again. Simon the sea gull was a great success and so pleased your husband loved him too! Who knows what we will create next time!"

Jody reviewed: Wet and Needle Felted Dragon for Chinese New Year

"We had such a fun day! I am so pleased with my stingray fish. Although I didn't get him finished on the day, I know what to do to finish him at home. I think I just picked something too complicated to get done during the workshop hours, but I will finish it and send in a photo! He's going to be so cool! Thanks for a lovely day Rachel and Rhian, I learned a lot!"

Lynne Strawbridge reviewed: 2d needle felted pictures

"The venue was lovely, a brilliant space to work with all essential facilities very close by. There was a friendly welcome upon arrival, I was given a seat and told there were lots of pairs so the seating had been planned in advance, a very good idea so those together could sit together. The class was informal and very interesting, all materials were included in the price, with a small shop for those who wanted to purchase items to use at home. I was amazed at what you can produce with felt, there was lots of examples and inspiration. Every one made something brilliant with expert advice given in a very friendly way. An excellent class with lovely people, I will definitely attend further classes and would highly recommend to others"

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It was a total pleasure and I loved the idea of placing a photo on the finished piece set in to the flowers. Thank you also for recommending us to others as word of mouth is the best review we can have. We look forward to seeing you in March!"

"What a lovely way to spend a Sunday! The course was a Christmas present from my daughter, a fantastic gift. The tutors were friendly and enthusiastic, but there was no pressure, only a relaxing, but stimulating day with the bonus of being the proud owner of a pretty colourful felt picture. Many thanks for a super day."

2 Inspire You responded:

"So glad you enjoyed your present! Hope to see you again soon!"

Katrina Evans reviewed: Needle felted Seascapes or landscapes with 2 Inspire You

"Rachel is a great tutor who uses skill alongside gentle humour to make us feel confident. She takes our ideas and helps us produce something unique. We were all excited by our results and each person took home a felt picture ready to mount, frame and hang on the wall. She had lots of suggestions for other ways to display our work, to make our picture part of a bag for example, different ways of framing or taking the process a step further by embellishing by hand or machine."

2 Inspire You responded:

"Thank you so much! It is nice to be able to pass on tips but the end results are your own inspiration."

"I had never tried felting before but I had such a great day. It was very relaxing and I came away this a picture I’m more than happy to put in a frame and hang on the wall! Rachel is the perfect tutor - very friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I wouldn’t hesitate to book another course and I will recommend it to my crafty friends. Thank you Rachel (and lovely assistant who I cannot remember the name of, sorry!)."

Katrina Evans reviewed: Bowl felting workshop

"Rachel is a very patient teacher who has a gift for teaching and giving clear instruction. She allows people to be creative and do their own thing, and is able to adapt to all abilities so can be on hand when you need her, but does not interfere if you want to experiment with support if things don't go quite the way you wanted! Thanks Rachel"
