Evie reviewed: Swans - Adult Beginners / Improvers Needle Felting workshop

"Natalie was a friendly, patient, and really pastoral teacher with all attendees. The class had a lovely feel, everyone was made to feel very welcome. The objective of the class was made clear from the start with an demo of what we were making in the centre of the table. The steps involved were explained cumulatively and Natalie was so careful to stress that everyone should go at their own rate. Also, needless (or should I see needleless!) to say that felting involves lots of sharp pointy objects. The health and safety was explained really clearly. "
