"Lena is a superb teacher of wet felting. Her classes are informal, relaxed and happy. Her knowledge of felting is outstanding and she is happy to share her skills with her pupils. As she teaches in stages, no one is left behind and as a skillful teacher she gives both group and individual attention throughout her workshops. An extremely enjoyable day."

"Lena is a truly inspiriational and lovely person. I suffer from an auto immune disease and a severe destructive type of arthritis. I am in constant pain but I believe in not giving the pain power over me . I love crafting and creating and had only wet felted once before. Lena taught us in a clear and precise way giving each of us individual attention . Everything was easily at hand and there was such a variety and choice. At times my energy flagged and Lena knew I was tired. She took over for a while and I was able to rest and get a second wind. Her work is superb and I did not want to leave her beautiful studio."

"A wonderful workshop whether you are new to wet felting or have tried it before. Always a relaxed, friendly, informative experience. Lena shares her huge knowledge so openly and encourages you to experiment with colour and textures of your own choosing. It's a fabulous feeling to create your own unique piece of wearable art and gain new skills at the same time. A great way to de-stress too!"

"Attended the wet-felting workshop. Premises are easy to find. Lena is a very accomplished teacher, is kind and patient. Although I had done wet-felting before it was a few years ago and I had more-or-less forgotten most of the process. Came away with a lovely wall-hanging. Small groups of students, first class workshop facilities. Lovely cake and coffee too. Would not hesitate to recommend any of Lena's workshops. Am already booked on another two!"

"This was my second workshop with Lena; the first was needle felting. Both workshops were great. Everything is explained and you have time to create, you're not rushed at all. You even have time to break for coffee and cake. I would recommend any of Lena's workshops and will probably attend more myself."

"I attended Lenas Wet felting course to hopefully learn the basic techniques of wet felting. Lena is a very warm person and welcoming person who explained the basic techniques to the group in general and then went from person to person giving each one the individual attention they needed. I came away from Lenas course, with a beautiful felt image, and feeling confident that I could try wet felting at home. I am happy that I attended the course and met such a lovely person and had been part of a friendly group. I can highly recommend Lena and her course."

"Having just started to learn needle felting, I was looking forward to this course. I was not disappointed. Lena is a lovely, friendly person with an extraordinary talent. Her passion was clear as she shared her knowledge with us. Being a small group meant she was able to spend time helping us all individually. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with lovely people and managed to produce something that I would be proud to hang on my wall. Already booked up for the next one!"

"It is a while back I did this course but it's the most memorable course I have ever done. I never worked with wool before and now I am addict working with wool. I was amazed what a beautiful flower I made in just a few hours. Lena is very patient, explaining how to use the wool. She is a fantastic teacher knowing exactly what she is doing and helping everybody when they need help. I highly recommend this course."

"I came along to Lena's course with absolutely no knowledge of felt making and left with something I am proud to have made. Lena is a great teacher, very passionate, patient and with lots of creative ideas. It was great to meet the other participants and watch them creating their own special works of art."
