"Lena explains and demonstrates very well before you start to create. She then supports you while you work and answers all questions. The studio is roomy and the atmosphere welcoming. The workshop was great fun and you are not rushed at all so it doesn't matter if you've never done this kind of thing before. Lena ensures you make a piece of art to take home with you. And she provides cake!"

"I have attended several of Lena's felt making courses, which speaks volumes about the quality of her workshops. Lena continues to push the boundaries in developing her own skills. She is an enthusiastic and talented artist and this is evident when you listen to her and watch how she works. I recently attended her net felted scarf session and with her help and patience, I came away with a beautiful item that has been admired by many."

"Lena is a great teacher and her courses are well paced with enough hands on one to one tuition for everyone. This is the 2nd course I have done with her (already booked in for a 3rd!!)and I always go with a 100 ideas but come back with a 1000!!! Her studio has lovely examples on show and lots of lovely fellow 'feltaholics' attend her classes so the whole day feels indulgent, inspirational and very satisfying!!!!"

"Another fabulous course by Lena. Small classes mean everyone has individual tuition and there is room to create on a large scale. Lena is a very experienced teacher and talented felt artist. I thoroughly enjoyed creating a felt net scarf and being able to further my knowledge of felting. Looking forward to the next workshop."

"This was my second workshop with Lena ... all I can say is what an Excellent way to acquire a new skill and learn new techniques. Lena is a very patient tutor ... I could jar the patience of a saint... but she explained and demonstrated every aspect of the making process extremely well, even I could follow the instructions. Met some wonderful people and saw a variety of different ideas come to fruition. Highly highly recommend spending some quality 'me' time on one of Lena's courses. I will be back :) ,"

She is extremely knowledgable and very approachable. I learnt new skills and techniques which I hope to continue building further.

"I have had a really lovely day making a wet felted 3d Christmas Stocking with Lena. An extremely informative course where I and the other participants all achieved success. We had our own ideas about what we wanted and with the excellent tuition and support from Lena who is so knowledgeable of the felting technique produced what we hoped to. I am planning another visit to Lena's studio and would whole heartedly recommend her courses to others."

"I am a quilter and sewer, so I have to find another outlet to get me to relax, and this is it. Felting is a whole new entity to me, and something I do for myself, it's my "me" time. It is quietly creative, and full of surprises. Lena is an excellent teacher, and the classes are brilliant, she is very intuitive as well as skilled in her craft.....I just love the classes. I cannot recommend these felting classes more highly, and that's also as one who treats her own skills as professional also."

She is very patient and the workshops are small so she is all ways at hand for advice and guidance.Will definitely be back. Bev."
