I am a textile artist based in Yorkshire. I teach textile arts (knitting, crochet, spinning yarn and more) and I also occasionally sell my pieces. I love meeting new people and teaching them skills that they can use to create beautiful pieces. I am almost completely self-taught - which means I have found ways of learning and teaching that are flexible, and I have not met someone yet who I cannot teach the skill they wish to learn!

FAQs

It's not ideal for a beginner to be learning a slightly more advanced stitch, but if you are already comfortable with a hook and yarn you may have a good chance of learning how to follow the pattern in a session with me. However, in these more advanced classes, you may not get the 1:1 time you require as I will have more people in the class. I would recommend if you are concerned about following the pattern, come to my beginner course and you can get started on building the foundations to follow this pattern.

There is limited on-street parking around the venue, but the public transport is very good into Silsden. Many Hands 25 CIC is on Kirkgate. Sadly not wheelchair accessible as there is a flight of stairs to get into the studio.

Yes they will, and I try and ensure that there are choices in colours etc. However, if you would like to bring your own to use, please feel free!

Christine reviewed: Learn To Crochet with Lamb In The Loft

"This is a fabulous course that I would highly recommend as a complete novice to crochet. Georgie is an excellent tutor with a passion for her subject. She explained the different yarns and crochet hooks before we went on to produce some crochet work with a variety of stitches. I’m looking forward to practising what I’ve learnt and hope to book one of the other courses once I’ve mastered these basics."

Georgina reviewed: Learn To Crochet with Lamb In The Loft

"I attended Georgie's crochet for beginners workshop on Saturday 25th March 2024. I'd been looking around for a beginner's crochet workshop and have done a different workshop with Craft Courses before. The location wasn't too far from me, price was reasonable as it included wool and hook to take home and I liked the idea of a 2 hour workshop as I find I tend to lose concentration if it's any longer. There were 4 other ladies attending and it was a very friendly atmosphere. The course was held in a room above commercial premises in the heart of Silsden. Communications with Georgie before the workshop were very good, as I needed to ask about parking as I'm not from that local area. Georgie offered us all coffee or tea at the beginning which was a nice thing to do and there was a jar of biscuits on the table if required. We then started by learning about different wools and crochet hooks and how these can influence what you might make. I found this information very useful. We then progressed onto making the first chain and later on how to make a double chain. We were all given a useful handout which explained what we were doing with diagrams and also explained comparisons with UK & US terminology for crochet. Georgie is a very warm, friendly and exceptionally helpful teacher and has loads of patience which was great as most of seemed to be all fingers and thumbs to begin with which made us all laugh. But she encouraged perseverance and we all seemed to get the hang of those basic steps by the end of the workshop. I would recommend this workshop to anyone looking to learn how to crochet. Georgie clearly loves crochet and is very giving of her time, skills and knowledge. "
