“Stepping inside Debra’s studio is rather like arriving home, artistically speaking. Her warmth and personality really welcomes you, and visually, to anyone who loves colour, her workplace is mouth-wateringly appetising – a feast for the eyes. I’d already done a little bit of felting, but I could see that complete newcomers to it would be equally at home there, as Debra’s teaching method is relaxed and encouraging – ideal for ‘virgin’ felters. She provides the most fabulous selection of wools, silks, and other embellishments to work with and has lots of books for extra inspiration if needed. And of course, some of her own work is there, showing what one might achievewith a little imagination and flair.” – Alison Holburn
I loved this course… Debra is a very friendly, helpful, calm and wonderfully creative teacher. Her beautiful studio offers a wonderfully colourful and nourishing space in which time enjoy hours of crafting, with lots of materials and felts to choose from and explore. The Appleby Hub is a lovely community centre to discover, with delicious cake and lots of books to mull over in the lunch break. I highly recommend this class, not only for the slippers but for the pleasure of sharing time and ideas with a wonderful teacher in a creative studio. I’m now seeking further opportunities to felt and also go back for another course!

“Dear Debra, A Big Thank You for a wonderful workshop the other week making a Nuno Waistcoat. It was so inspiring and I love the result. I have already worn it twice for special occasions and impressed family and friends and neighbours. Your patience and generosity was amazing and I am looking forward to coming back to another workshop soon!
best wishes
Elisabeth”
