The Wool Hub:

 

"encourages people to get involved in crafts. Great to include people with special needs."

 

​"it is somewhere to meet friends and not expensive"​

 

"It helps both mental health and the community. It’s a place where I can meet other people and talk. It calms the brain. I have got to know more people in the community."​

 

"It has been really good for the community. The 'Woolfest event' in May was very good. The town feels more alive at the bottom now."

 

Felting with Rita:

 

“Needle felting was really therapeutic.  It was fun to see what we could make and very satisfying”

 

"It was lovely to see the children so peaceful and completely in the moment focusing on their projects. The workspace is perfect with a real homely feel, a haven from the busy technologically driven world we seem to live in nowadays.  It was really impressive to see what she created after only a few sessions with you.  Thank you for being so open to sharing your skills Rita.”  

 

​“Rita is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher and I greatly enjoyed the session with her.  As I had not done this before, I was pleased with what I made."

 

Weaving with Noni:

 

“I have enjoyed attending the classes, learning and extending my weaving skills while also meeting and interacting with people who share my love for weaving. I have found the teaching extremely thoughtful, inspiring and caring."​

 

“Noni’s enthusiasm for and knowledge of weaving is very motivating but the workshops are always relaxed and fun.”​

 

“Noni is very empathetic to the needs of my daughter, suggesting interesting projects which are within her abilities but also encouraging her to expand these. Noni showed great patience in explaining processes and in finding visual ways to reinforce this.” ​

 

Spinning with Ruth/Mandy:   

 

"I don’t want to go home"​

 

"How interesting to see the history of Buckfastleigh being enacted!"​

 

"Ruth is the heart and soul of The Wool Hub. Thursdays at the Wool Hub are amazing; warm, friendly, lots of laughter and gallons of tea!"​
