  "Victoria is amazing. She can take a group of people who have no idea what felting is and turn them into felting artists. She is patient, kind and full of enthusiasm. I can't wait to create more beautiful pieces."

  "I have taken 2 of Victoria's classes. I can't say enough good things about the art or the teacher. She is organized, a great teacher and alot of fun. I knew nothing about felting when I went and was totally shocked at how much I enjoyed it. ... And I have some awesome art to show for my work. When is the next class Victoria?"

  "I have taken two classes with Victoria and will take every class offered, honestly. The key to being a good teacher is holding your students attention AND giving each student individual attention...and Victoria is a master at this. We feel at ease to ask multiple questions, if needed; as well as taking personal risks in being creative, without ridicule. I have met and made some new friends in these classes and it's due to the overall energy emitted from our leader, Victoria. Walk in as strangers and walk out as friends...with a most beautiful piece of fiber art that will have everyone asking "HOW did you do that"? To learn ANYthing new at my age (49) can be daunting; however, Victoria has a way of pulling the creative spirit out of even the most non-creative of us...namely, me. I cannot say enough good; other than to say, this is one of the most amazing periods in my life...thanks to felting and Victoria! "

  "There is no more patient and encouraging instructor I have ever taken a class from. Victoria's enthusiasm is contagious! Her understanding of her students is equal to her knowledge of her art and she treats everyone according to their level of desire not ability. I look forward to attending more classes and workshops Victoria schedules in the future."

  "I spent a wonderful day taking Victoria's beginner felting class. She is so patience and kind. I am not a very creative person so she had quite a challenge before her. Through her instructional skills and encouragment she helped me design a beautiful piece of art. Thanks Victoria for such a fun learning experience. I look forward to taking another class in the near future."

  "I drove from Clayton NC to take Victoria’s Wet Felted Tote Bag class at Gate City Yarns (almost two hours). It was a wonderful class! I had not wet felted in almost four years and she was so patient with me as I rediscovered the craft. Her enthusiasm for felt as a medium and her students as artists is so apparent. She was so encouraging and fostered a wondfully creative environment. I have already signed up for her next class and look forward to studying with her for a long time to come. "
