Fay reviewed: Christmas Mohair Teddy Bear Making Workshop

"We booked to make the Christmas bear but there was a mixup with our booking meaning we didn’t make a Christmas one. However we both made a fabulous different bear. The tutor, Jane, was lovely and so patient. It’s such a fun day and I am so proud of’Bertie’ my bear. We have already booked to do another workshop. Would thoroughly recommend "

"If I could give 10 stars I would. From arriving until I left it was amazing. Will, our tutor was brilliant. He was organised, clear with instruction, helpful and very patient. I was thrilled with the piece I achieved (a lotus blossom) and although some of us were slow we were not rushed. I would definitely return to do again and would try some of the other courses available. Thank you Will and Steve. "

Jane W reviewed: Crochet for Beginners - Right Handed

"Perfect course for beginners as we had forgotten the crochet lesson our mother had given us as children. Laura was an exceptionally patient and supportive tutor. Very encouraging and showed us what can be achieved with practice with her own impressive work. Was pleased to have my own sampler to practice, crochet hook, ball of wool and pattern to make my own blanket with granny squares. Was fun, relaxing and stressy at times, when things went wrong. Would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to start crocheting."
