  • 5/5 from Christian Jusinski, attended Apr 2025: My husband and I had such a blast learning how to felt from Carrie. She is a great teacher and just a delight to be with. Her studio also inspires to creativity with so many examples of finished work in different media. It's very clean and orderly too! I look forward to learning more from her.
  • 5/5 from Jeanee Hoffman, attended Apr 2025: Carrie was so fun and so helpful teaching us how to felt our dogs. So glad we took this class. Not my first class with her, and certainly not the last!
  • 5/5 from Anonymized ClassBento customer, attended Nov 2024: Carrie was a wonderful instructor! Patient, helpful and enthusiastic, she made the class fun! We learned a lot and left with our sweet felted animals.
  • 5/5 from Kat Corzati, attended Feb 2024: Working with Carrie was such an energizing and fun experience! She hosted 3 of us for a private team-building class where we each were to needle-felt one of our pets. We were greeted and invited into her cozy studio space at the base of Potrero Hill, tucked into the front of an upscale condo, which was very easy to use public transit to get to, and a short walk from a number of great coffee spots and restaurants. Carrie showed us a number of examples of what our projects could reflect, explaining we could lean into realism or venture to more simple and silly, and helped us reflect on color matching for all of our pets. We each had our own space and tools and she joined our table to demonstrate and observe our technique, coaching us on our efforts and helping us see things through an artistic lens to capture the likeness of our animals. She was encouraging and helpful the entire time, and made a wonderful experience for all of us, all new to needle felting. It was immersive and fun and the time passed quickly – but she kept us on track to be sure we left with a finished project that day. I would absolutely recommend her class and can see she'd be wonderful to work with at any age or artistic ability level because she really cares about her students' understanding and growth in skill.
  • 5/5 from Bash Beard, attended Apr 2023: My boss and I attended Carrie's "Needle Felting Your Pet" class as a (tiny) team building exercise and had a fabulous time. Carrie's kind, fun to chat with and very patient with first time felters like me. Her studio is airy and large enough for a team of maybe 8-10 to have plenty of room, yet didn't feel too big for just 2 students. Carrie supplied all the materials, with high quality wool and tools, as well as helpful tips for shaping and detailing our pets. And we had the sweet company of her handsome terrier, Georgie, who happily greeted us as we arrived, then settled down for a nap when the class began. He's the very definition of a good boi! During my ride home, I hopped online and ordered a needle felting kit so I can continue poking wool into amazing shapes! Thanks for a great class, Carrie! 5/5 stars; would recommend :) Our best, Bash and boss Lauren
  • 5/5 from Ami Fox, attended Apr 2023: We had a great time, and Carrie is a wonderful teacher. She made the class very fun, and she was very personable and knowledgeable about the process. The studio is really cute, and you can tell that a lot of creativity and positivity happen there!

I’m Carrie Leeb, an artist/designer/teacher/entrepreneur/Bay Area native, and I love making things. I feel most alive when I’m creating, and I want to impart this same passion for exploring, experimenting, and making to as many people as I can (like you!). Spark Studio’s a place where this happens.
As a teacher and a mentor, I’ve inspired and encouraged many adults and kids to tap into their creative side and experience the joy that goes along with creating. I believe the essence of making is learning to trust the unique inner voice that’s in each of us, combined with a lot of experimentation and play. I love hearing people say, “I didn’t think I was creative, but I had so much fun making this!” Connecting creatively to ourselves and making new discoveries is energizing - no wonder it’s fun! Spark Studio is a place where people of all ages are free to express themselves creatively. It’s a place to discover the masterpiece that each of us is.
