AG reviewed: Hazel Hare Kit

"Quite disappointing tbh. It has not been possible to recreate anything like the picture advertised because of the pattern cut (ears far too short)and the colour of the fur which was more chocolate brown and unsuitable for a hare. In the event I have had to buy my own materials and adapt the pattern. I wouldnt go so far as to complain or demand a refund, because the kit did at least provide me with a method for working but for the price charged I guess I was hoping for more quality than this. Would not return for other kits."

Alford Craft Market Centre responded:

"Our maker says "I've used the same pattern each time. The description does say that mohair may vary. I suggest that you return the kit complete for a refund and I will cover postage". "

Stefanie reviewed: Extra class added - Make beautiful snowflakes in stained glass with Caron King

"A big thank you Caron King and Alford Craft Market - before lock down we had had a special workshop booked to celebrate our joint 50th birthdays - today it finally happened!! We had a lovely day - the centre has done a great job distancing all the work tables and keeping class numbers small (we 3 had a room to ourselves which worked well for our little bubble) and Caron is a great tutor - giving us all confidence in our work."
