Nicola Drennan reviewed: Needle felt a toadstool - online workshop with full kit provided

"I really enjoyed my first foray into both felting and an online course. I’ve admired felted pictures and often wondered if I could do it as I’m hopeless at art - I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler. But Gwen’s class has converted me. Gwen was very friendly and an expert at her craft. It was also good the way Gwen noticed that some people were ready to move on and showed the next stage whilst making it clear to the others to take their time. I enjoyed the class interaction and definitely would like to do more of this. I’m hoping to sign up some friends for the bluetit course Gwen. Thank you Gwen."

Gwen’s Felted Paintings responded:

"Nicola, thank you so much again for this lovely review! I’m delighted that you enjoyed it and very much looking forward to seeing you again :) Best of wishes, Gwen"

Beverley reviewed: Needle felt a toadstool - online workshop with full kit provided

"A most enjoyable workshop. I was a complete novice, and it was amazing to produce a a lovely mushroom felted picture in 2 hours. Gwen is an excellent teacher, and imparts her knowledge & skills very effectively via Zoom. All materials amply supplied in the kit which was dispatched to arrive in good time for the workshop. Enough wool left over to attempt another picture which I definitely will. Great to have learned a new skill & looking forward to doing another workshop in the future."

Gwen’s Felted Paintings responded:

"Hi Beverly, Thank you so much for such a lovely review! I am delighted that you enjoyed it and really pleased that you are hoping to do more with your leftover wool. It would be lovely to see you again if you fancied doing more in the future! Best wishes, Gwen"

Lynne reviewed: Needle felt a toadstool - online workshop with full kit provided

"I completed Gwen's needle felting bee course, my first live on line course and it was brilliant. Gwen was easy to contact, quick to respond to queries and an excellent teacher. The kit contained loads of wool , plenty to have another go . The class was well run with just enough general chat to make you feel comfortable and lots of help and encouragement. Looking forward to seeing her new designs and trying another course."

Angela Leon reviewed: Needle felt a toadstool - online workshop with full kit provided

"Gwen is very sweet and an amazing facilitator. The kit arrives two weeks before the course with everything you need. I was worried about having the class in the zoom, worry no, you won't miss anything, you will be able to see all the demonstration cristal clear. I definitely looking to take another class with her."

Megan Lunn reviewed: Needle Felt a Bumblebee

"Wonderful class. My kit arrived in plenty of time, well packed up, lovely quality and generous amounts of wool (I could make several more bees!). Gwen got in touch before the class with clear joining instructions. The session itself over zoom was lovely. Gwen had a great set up so we could see her and the demonstration at the same time. She explained everything really well, answered all questions and was very encouraging. This is the first craft activity that I have successfully started and finished within a day. A wonderfully relaxing afternoon, I feel accomplished. Fantastic for beginners or for anyone just wanting a relaxing afternoon of crafting with other people. I’m looking forward to seeing what other kits and sessions Gwen has coming up."

Gwen’s Felted Paintings responded:

"Thank you so much for your lovely review Megan. I’m delighted you enjoyed the workshop :). I thought your bee was fantastic! I hope you find time to put your feet up with a crafty project again soon."

Anne Youngman reviewed: Needle Felt a Bumblebee

"A real pleasure, from the moment my box of kit arrived to the finished bumble bee picture. I recommend this highly. It was totally absorbing. Gwen is a great teacher, the class was relaxed and friendly and great fun. I enjoyed every moment. My kit felt like a box of treasure. I had more than enough to create my picture and have been making more bumble bees with the extra roving. Treat yourself, the process of needlefelting is totally absorbing, very therapeutic and the finished results are lovely."

Joanna Smith reviewed: Needle Felt a Bumblebee

"I absolutely loved Gwen's workshop! I found Gwen's clear step-by-step instructions easy to follow, with good pacing throughout the session, giving everyone a chance to advance to the next step if they were ready. It was a really fun couple of hours and the time flew. It's great to find high quality online crafting courses with like-minded crafters sharing experiences and ideas. Although new to needle felting, I was delighted with the results. This may well be my new crafting obsession! Thanks again Gwen, I will keep an eye out for your future workshops! Jo x"
