"When Melissa Arnold and I met fifteen years ago, we began a collaboration that has now spanned many years. Not only was I introduced to her already remarkable skills and creativity, I saw that she was always willing to experiment, to push her boundaries, in an effort to develop her knowledge and repertoire. This is the behavior of a true artist. Her uniquely beautiful work alway brings me endless inspiration when developing my collections.

Not only is it a joy to artistically collaborate with Melissa, she has also become a loving friend who is a cherished gift in my life." ~ Catherine Bacon - Clothing Designer

"I have taken several extraordinary wet felting classes from Melissa. She is hands down one of the best instructors, tirelessly giving of her time and sharing her expertise. Melissa teaches how to create felted pieces, but also goes deeper than most instructors by explaining special tips and tricks of the trade that she has gathered throughout her professional career as a fiber artist. The pearls of wisdom she throws out there are invaluable. Her handouts are impeccable, and her easy going manner and sense of humor make every class a delight. " ~ Debra Pollard, Artist.

"I've hosted a lot of teachers here over my 20 years in the fiber arts business and have therefore experienced a great range of styles and abilities​ among them. I would say that Melissa is right up there at the top. She has a wealth of knowledge which she is very generous with and she creates such an easy and relaxed atmosphere that everyone in class has fun and enjoys themselves while learning tons! I would highly recommend her." ~ Jennifer Hoag
