Testimonials
I’ve just finished the three part beginners embroidery classes. Shelley was great, very patient and the classes were fun. I enjoyed the social aspect as well. I’m now looking forward to the bamboo steamer embroidery class and will try my hand at felting in the near future. Thanks Shelley.
Fantastic embroidery class – Shelley is very knowledgeable and gave lots of ideas and inspiration. Highly recommend.
Fantastic teacher and workshop. Lots of choice and space for creative freedom. Definitely will be doing more classes here.
Great day. Shelley was very friendly and attentive. Lovely studio with beautiful wool of all colours and varieties to choose from.

Shelley is a generous patient and sharing teacher. I have just completed my 3rd felting class having previously made a beautiful felted scarf, a flower brooch and most recently a journal cover. Loved every class and learnt so much. I have also done 3 embroidery classes with Shelley and love being able to embellish my crafts with different notions. The studio has a wonderful array of felts, fabrics and notions. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to sign up for a class.
I attended a Felted Scarf making class with no knowledge of felting. It was a lovely environment to learn a new craft. With Shelley’s encouragement and help when needed, I made a beautiful coloured felted scarf. Thanks Shelley
I did a beginners felting workshop with Shelley and besides having a fabulous time, I went home with a GORGEOUS little felt pod and enough new knowledge to inspire more experiments into felting.
