Marjorie reviewed: Felt Lampshades

"Nice to be relaxed and not under too much time pressure, but perhaps not quite enough to do. Would have been nice to fill the whole day."

Emma Jackson (Silversoles - Felted Textiles) responded:

"Good to hear you felt relaxed. I'd love to deliver the session in a day, however ensuring the felt is dry enough to work with means the sessions have to be delivered over two half day session. (For your group combined over a day via online meeting / remotely & in person). Hope you liked the result of your make & your finished lampshade."

Libby reviewed: Learn to Felt - An Introduction to Felt Making in Birmingham

"Thank you Emma for a wonderful day! There was nothing I could fault with the course; it was a perfect gift, which not only made memories, but provided a personal and unique product to take home. I highly recommend trying this out, but a word of caution to anyone with fibromyalgia, or similar ailments - it does require a bit of a workout and may leave you tired and achy. That being said, it was worth the pain!"

Emma Jackson (Silversoles - Felted Textiles) responded:

"Hi Libby Glad you enjoyed the day & you are pleased with the outcome, despite the workout! Hope you are recovered now - felting can be physical, awakening creativity & muscles! 😊"

Imogen reviewed: Learn to Felt - An Introduction to Felt Making in Birmingham

"The Introduction to Felting workshop was fantastic. Emma was super informative and thoroughly explained the process of creating felt. I liked the fact that the group made our felt creations in steps together alongside Emma. We were also given the creative freedom throughout the workshop - creating two felt pieces (one alongside Emma and one by ourselves). If we got stuck at any point Emma was on hand to help, but also an instruction sheet was provided alongside other resources, which was very helpful to refer to if needed. Coffee and biscuits were also provided, which is always a bonus! We absolutely loved the workshop, and would like to book on to more!"

Emma Jackson (Silversoles - Felted Textiles) responded:

"So pleased you enjoyed the workshop & left inspired to felt more. Hope to see you again soon. "
