Gwyn Thomas reviewed: Felt Making Pictures -Introduction

"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. "

Pamela Davies reviewed: Needle felted Dogs and Cats in Hebden Bridge

"My friend and I had a wonderful day with Jo making felted replicas of our 2 dogs. She was such an excellent teacher asking us all along the way about how we wanted the pace of learning to be in order to suit us best. She is clearly very skilled and knowledgeable as well as immensely patient. She very kindly did this date as an additional session and as there were just the two of us, allowed us to bring our dogs along with us. I would absolutely recommend this course either as a one off for fun or as a way into further felting."

Phinefibre responded:

"It was lovely to meet you both and your two adorable little dogs, great and different to have live models in the studio! It was a wonderful day and delighted you enjoyed it. I was very happy to help you both create such wonderful, detailed little needle felted pets sculptures. With so much attention to detail. Defo helps to have the dogs present. Thank you for writing a review and for your kind recommendation. "

Michele Saville reviewed: Needle felted Dogs and Cats in Hebden Bridge

"I have just spent a wonderful Sunday making a needle felted interpretation of my Minature Schnauzer Eno. Everything came together to create a truly enjoyable experience. The venue was lovely, Josephine is very friendly and patient, and an experienced tutor who is passionate about her art. "

Phinefibre responded:

" Thank you Michele for your kind review, much appreciated. Very happy to hear you a wonderful, enjoyable day creating a cute mini wool ‘Eno” with lovely face details, whilst discovering new ways of needle felting."
