Is It For Me
The most asked questions.
How do I know the class will suit me?
I have thought lots of people in the last 30 years. Young and older. I know we all learn different, in different ways. The course is easy to follow. Every detail is watchable as a video as well as in a written format. You can rewatch everything as often as you like.
I also give a money back guarantee if you think it's not suitable for you after you signed up.
Can I do this with no experience?
Yes you can. I had many beginners in this class.
I have run classes from school age children to adults and everyone in between. Yes, some find it easier then others, but everyone always finishes their project with outstanding outcomes. I would recommend that children are over 13 years old for this course. They may need some help.
Where can I buy the materials?
When you sign up for the course you have full access to the tools and material list. You can purchase all at your own leisure or take the easy route and order a face felting stitching kit kit via my website.
Do I have enough time to complete the course?
The course consists of 3 modules. The course is yours for as long as I maintain the website. Should anything change I will contact you to let you know. I will allow anyone as much time as needed to finish the course. But at present there is no restrictions.
The course is presented at one time. Meaning that the videos are pre recorded. I guide you through the course with written content and lots of video/pictures.. There is a question and answer section in every module. If you're stuck, just reach out to me and I will do my best to help you.
This is also where we can meet and connect with other students. Share our achievement and learn from others.
This course stands out from the many other courses on wet felting. Why? Because I teach you not only how to achieve beautiful felt, but how and why I felt wool in a certain way. What to look out for when you buy wool for felting.
I am particularly looking forward to teach you this unique method of stitching a face into a felt ball. I do not needle felt faces. I stitch them with a needle and tread. I can't wait to show you how I do this. Who knows where it will lead you. Mabey you want to sell your creations like I do? You are most certainly at the right place. This is how I started my business of felt art. In learning from others and following my own dreams and felt creations..
Just one bit of advice....felting can become addictive.
