Paula reviewed: Make a Felted Bag, Wet Felting Technique

"Penny was not only patient but attentive and I really benefited from the 1:1 attention. It was my good fortune that the other class members couldn’t attend. I would have been happy with a class but really liked the time alone. The course was achievable and I thought the pace was just right. Lunch was lovely too. The environment was a rustic converted barn with lots of other sellers stuff to tempt me too. I am interested in pennys other workshops and have subscribed to the craft courses newsletter. I think this might be a regular thing …oops, what have I started?! It was a wonderful “me” time experience and would recommend it. We chatted whilst making which was nice and informal and penny made teas and coffees throughout the day with biscuits to munch. I understand I’ll get a PDF instruction email soon which will help me to remember and recreate a bag making session at home. "

Penny Jane Designs responded:

"It was lovely working with you Paula and I am currently doing the 'admin' for new courses! Hope to see you soon, Penny"

Karen Dearn reviewed: Wet Felting a Picture at Kings Heath Tearooms

"Penny is a wonderful teacher. This was my first wet felting course and I loved every minute of it. The group was made up of 4 pupils who were all more experienced than me but very lovely people. Lunch was great and delicious. I will return for another course, even though I travelled 40 miles to this venue.... A real treat for any crafter... Thanks Penny"
