Sue reviewed: Felt art workshop with Debra Esterhuizen ( wet felting and needle felting embellishments)

"I spent a lovely day with Debra, learning how to do wet felting with embellishments. I had no previous experience but Debra talked me through it all, along with all the processes, and I was amazed at the end result. I definitely recommend this course and can’t thank Debra enough for such a great experience in a beautiful location and fabulous facility. "

Nikki Bruce reviewed: Nuno felt-making scarf workshop with Debra Esterhuizen

"Can’t think of a nicer way to spend a Thursday than in the company of the lovely and highly skilled Debra! Just myself and one other, which made for a very special experience and lots of individual attention. Debra is very inspirational and encouraging and I was pretty amazed at what I took home with me at the end of the day. So yesterday it was a scarf, but the other options are endless and I will definitely be back before long! "
