I'm Josephine a fibre and mixed media artist and tutor with over 20 years experience of all aspects of felt-making. I run fun, relaxing felt making and needle felting workshops in my lovely studio in Hebden Bridge using a vast colourful selection of materials. I have also delivered and managed celebratory and public arts projects within Schools, and the wider community.

"My friend and I had a great time and loved walking away with a finished piece.
Jo’s enthusiasm showed through and her clear demonstration and encouragement made our creations achievable. A lovely, relaxing and creative time."
"Had such a lovely relaxing day. Guidance was clear and well explained - we were encouraged to try out lots of different materials and we all produced lovely pieces to take home. Thankyou. "
"We had a brilliant day on the course and we were all really pleased with our finished cats! Jo taught five absolute beginners how to create dogs and cats with kindness and patience, plenty of brews and biscuits, and was just the right mix of knowing when we needed help and letting us get on with things when 'in the zone'! I really enjoyed the day, my mum and 9 year old did too and I thoroughly recommend!"

"Thank you for joining the workshop and writing a lovely review. Delighted you all had a brilliant day. It was wonderful to see three generations of your family all together on the workshop. Your nine year old daughter made an adorable cute cat, and coped very well with such a long day."
"My partner and I had a lovely day on this course. Josephine was very welcoming and a really good, patient teacher. She took us through the basics of wet felting first, showed us how to lay the wool for the backing, then through suggestions for the picture we wanted to do and finally the process for turning it all into felt. It was well paced, never felt rushed and all in all a great day. Would definitely book other sessions"
Phinefibre responded:
"Lovely to meet you both and thank you for writing a review. Great to hear you enjoyed the workshop, the pacing and content especially as you were an art teacher too, much appreciated. Hope you managed to get back ok as the snow fell quickly later on. Would be great to see you again. "
