"It was very great fun, this has been a very unique and enjoyable experience. Have learnt to make a heritage piece. There aren't many places that have this kind of old school craft in town."

Fiona reviewed: Raw Fleece to...Tuffets: Making Seat Mats / Cushions

"This workshop was thoroughly enjoyable, an in depth look at a technique I’ve wanted to try for ages. Emma is a fabulous teacher, very welcoming, very knowledgeable and very generous at sharing that knowledge and experience. I came away not only with a lovely seat pad which all of my animals have already adopted, but also the information and insight to know what I would do differently next time, and how I might adapt what I’ve learned."

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for a lovely day at our Christmas wreath-making workshop. I had never done any kind of felting activity before but you explained and demonstrated each step so clearly and I really enjoyed the needle felting. It was a lovely environment to work in and the wool and locks were such lovely materials to work with."
