Guest comments:

“Gail is such a great teacher that I was able to figure it out, and DO it without her at my elbow!!”

“It is so fun to take a pile of wool and sculpt it into these sweet little creatures.”

“Love it! I taught my grandkids how to felt after you taught us on the WC. Great art.”

“I’ll learn whatever you’re teaching! Can you just sign me up for all your classes on the world cruise right from the get go?”

“I’ve been wanting to learn how to felt for a long time and having a needle felting workshop on our cruise was exactly what I needed to keep my hands busy. I love my adorable gnome that I made in class. Thank you for the lesson!”
