"A most enjoyable afternoon and I'm delighted with my 2D felted seascape. A huge selection of coloured wools were provided and we were also shown how to mix different colours to make even more. Heather was a fabulous teacher, the whole experience was very therapeutic! The class took place in Heather's lovely home."

"Thank you Heather for your very knowledgable workshop. Due to the small size, Heather was able to give us lots of attention. It was almost as if we had private tuition but at a much lower cost. Her materials were all exceptional quality, she was very welcoming and friendly. Really good value for money. Thank you Heather"

Divya Malhotra reviewed: A day of felt making: 2D and 3D Wet Felting with Purr & Wag It, Tabletop Workshops

"I had a wonderful day at Heather's wet felting workshop! I arrived with no knowledge of the technique but left with a good understanding of this fascinating technique and a 3D pot to show for it! What stood out most was Heather herself. She was friendly, welcoming, and warm. Her class was relaxed, with music playing in the background, and it was clear she genuinely wanted everyone to have fun and be creative. Heather didn't just show us "how" – she worked alongside us and took the time to explain "why" whenever it was relevant. She gently corrected us if we made mistakes, turning them into learning opportunities rather than something to be embarrassed about. The class was very interactive and engaging. I was amazed at how much I learned in a single day, going from a complete beginner to creating 2D felt art and even a 3D object. Heather generously provided all the materials, and the range of colours was fantastic. She didn't hold back on the supplies, either. I highly recommend the full-day class for anyone new to wet felting. Understanding the 2D technique is very helpful before moving on to 3D, though 3D is probably doable even if you're starting from scratch. Thank you, Heather, for an unforgettable experience! I can't wait to come back for another workshop."

"I booked a class with my friend as a gift, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Heather sent an email well before the class with additional info and instructions on finding the venue and was very welcoming on arrival offering tea and biscuits. The instructions for the class were clear and the materials were good quality. The atmosphere was relaxed and we both came away with something we made that we really liked. Ideal!"

"What a fantastic team activity - we are all thrilled with our Tomtes! Heather was brilliant; very welcoming, relaxed and informative. She is clearly a brilliant artist and is at complete ease sharing her skills and knowledge. Great response from initial enquiry, booking and managing the session and really lovely atmosphere on the day. Thank you Heather! Our little tomte friends have settled in to their new homes and had their first virtual team meet on zoom this week! With huge thanks, The Affinity Team"

"I really enjoyed this course and the instructions were easy to follow, the raw wool we used and all natural products were lovely to handle. The process of felting and the atmosphere of the class was calming and paced well plus I ended up with a Christmas decoration I could buy in Skandium."

"Absolutely loved this workshop making a Christmas Tomte! The materials we used were such high quality, leaving us with beautiful decorations which I can’t wait to put out at Christmas time. It was fun to see the different style/character of everyone’s Tomtes emerge. Thanks for a lovely afternoon and all of the creative support Heather (and for the delicious cake!). "

"I had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon learning how to make a felt planter. Heather is a very good teacher, explaining clearly every step of the process. Everything was well set up for us, we had an amazing choice of coloured wool. I liked that there were only 3 of us, so it felt relaxed and intimate, in great surroundings."

Frances reviewed: A day of felt making: 2D and 3D Wet Felting with Purr & Wag It, Tabletop Workshops

"I really enjoyed my day at Purr & Wag It. Heather was very patient and explained everything clearly as I was a complete beginner, had never done wet felting before. I did a 2D and then a 3D workshop. Choosing from the range of colours was so much fun, you can really indulge your creativity! I definitely recommend it as a fun session, for an individual or a group of friends."

Heather S reviewed: Felt Pictures-Painting with fibres - intro to 2D wet felting/felt making

"We loved this class. A really fun activity, well organised and taught by a lovely teacher who had even baked goodies for us. Even with no prior experience we produced felting that we were really pleased with. It was a very relaxed, enjoyable way to spend a Saturday morning. I’d definitely recommend and would book to do it again. "

Alexandra reviewed: Felt Pictures-Painting with fibres - intro to 2D wet felting/felt making

"I really enjoyed this class. It was my first time wet felting and Heather struck a great balance between explaining the process and guiding us through while allowing us to learn by doing. I feel like I have a good basis for continuing with my own projects. Heather was also really welcoming and fun to chat to. She even threw in a bit of felting history. A really fun and pleasant learning experience."
