Testimonials
Shelly was a wonderful, patient and very knowledgable teacher. She worked thru everything at a comfortable pace.Nothing was too much trouble and the supplies for the class were all very beautiful and great quality. The class environment was very relaxed, and lots of happy banter with the other members of the group. In saying that we got thru a lot of stitches on our “sampler”. Shelly made it a fun and inspirational experience and I have already booked for another one of her classes.
Shelley is a great teacher, patient and personable. Her studio provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere with small class sizes. Her embroidery classes were enjoyable with everything supplied. Hopefully with people like Shelley, willing to share her knowledge and skills with others, this traditional art form will continue.
I’ve just finished the three part beginners embroidery classes. Shelley was great, very patient and the classes were fun. I enjoyed the 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 teacher and workshop. Lots of choice and space for creative freedom. Definitely will be doing more classes here.

Over the years I have done both felting and embroidery classes with Shelly, her lovely studio and relaxed teaching make each experience very enjoyable. Her prices are very reasonable and you will be delighted with your results.
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.
