Hen Feltmaking Days:

Have fun on your hen day by getting together a group of friends to make that special bag for the wedding day. Come to Arran for the day if you are 6 or less and felt at my place, or I can arrange a bigger venue for more.
Felt flower corsages can also be made to order for weddings

Feltmaking Classes Feedback:

'I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you for yesterday. I had a really lovely day and it was so nice to be able to create something in such a short space of time.'

Melissa

'I would like to say once again what a great day's felting we had. I particularly enjoyed working on smaller more delicate pieces of felt. I was

amazed at the amount of work we got through in a day and  feel confident

enough to experiment further at home using the techniques you showed us. Thanks for the delicious lunch, a real treat.

I am looking forward to continuing to felt and learn new techniques.'

Naomi, Pirnmill

'It was a great day, just the right amount of supported learning for the time available, enough to remember but not feel overwhelmed. It was particularly good to work with you as part of a small group and having the workshop at your house  made for a relaxed working environment which

was helped by the delicious lunch and breaks with banana cake and fruit tea!'

Tessa, Lochranza

''I learned so much and found the whole experience most rewarding. The comfortable atmosphere, lovely food and good company completed my day. Special thanks for waiting for me'.

Carol, West Kilbride

'The course was excellent and I learnt a great deal.  I wish you every success

and hope enthusiasts find you and enjoy your beautiful space.'
Cate, Whiting Bay

" I have finally finished my bag - picture attached. I really enjoyed my day making the bag."   Morag, Sannox
