what people are saying

 

“This is the second course I have taken with Gill and I will be signing up for the next one in August. Gill makes everyone feel relaxed about what they are doing. People who think they are not creative suddenly discover that they are capable of making something attractive and wearable. It’s a great feeling! The advice, guidance and encouragement were excellent and we have detailed notes to help us continue felting on our own. We had a great day in a friendly and positive environment and all went away happy and fulfilled. I hope Gill gives more classes at the Centre.”

 

“Hi Gil, Thanks for a great workshop.  Went home feeling very inspired and looking forward to doing some more scarves. Hope to call into your stand at the craft show !”

- Thanks Gail Duker

 

“Hi Gill, Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the Workshop last Sunday, I am very pleased with my bag and had a lovely day…..Hope all is well, thanks again”

“Dear Gill, Your silk felt work is very beautiful and it would be an honour to wear one of your scarves!! I would be happy to pay by credit card over the phone and for you to mail the scarf as I live in North Sydney and do not wish to inconvenience you.”

- Kind regards, Valerie 

“I took the nuno felting workshop taught by Gill Brooks.  She took us through all the steps of making a scarf, and we all felt very proud of our creations.  Her pace was just right; and the Art room is set up well with large working areas and sinks.  The workshop was hugely enjoyable, 5 stars!”

 

“Dear Gill, I bought a few scarves from you many years ago while we were visiting AU. I loved our conversation and love the scarf I kept. The rest were gifted to happy friends. Periodically I look at your Pinterest page. So happy you have a store and creative home. And, that you're selling a bit on Etsy. (So I can acquire!)”

- Cheers, Pam

 

“Hi Gill, I bought one of your exquisite felt scarves at the Happenstore. Had a lovely chat to Cath too. It is the one with blue tones. I love that it is beautiful & creative on both sides. I loved the green one too! Thank You for your unique creativity!”

“Dear Georgie, I loved this class. The tutor, Gill, was excellent. We had a great day and each of us went home with two lovely items that we were proud of. I was surprised how much we learnt in so short a time and Gill has inspired me (and I’m sure the rest of the class) to continue with this terrific craft. I’ll be back for Gill's next class next year.”

“Hi Gillian, I just like to thank you one more time for such a great felting workshop. The information you have shared with me help me to complete my major project for my college. Some of my garments stand up just because of the felting technic and I have enjoyed the work through so much :) Looking forward for more felting workshop with you in the future.”

- All the best Iva

 

“Hi Gill, Just wanted to quickly thank you for Sunday’s workshop. I really enjoyed it. You are an excellent teacher giving just enough guidance to learn the technique but not crowding a student’s own creative urges. So thanks again.”

- Best wishes, Crista

 

“Hi Gill, I'm really pleased with my zippered pouch and have further experimented - found I probably didn't felt the smaller pink and blue one enough and now embarking on a bigger seamless tote bag.  Heavens a huge job! Hope all is well with you.  Thanks again for a great day and nice company😊 “

-Warm regards, Susan

 

“Hi Gill, Thanks for sending the instructions through. When i came home i blew a balloon into the vessel to help form the shape. Your class was superb and is a credit to you as a teacher. Judy and I are in love with the process, the possibilities and have been researching books and wools since. We will definitely be at your class in June.

Thanks for sending the details for the markets coming up and I hope to see you soon.”
