- 4/5 from Judith Maxcy, attended Feb 2024: The class was informative and value for money. The teacher was ver helpful and happy to repeat anything that we didn't understand. The materials provided were fine.
- 5/5 from Sue Milligan, attended Dec 2023: This course is exactly what I was looking for, the teaching was excellent and I certainly gained from the fact that I was the only participant. I have never managed to get to grips with crochet and apparently it’s likely to be because I’m a keen knitter! I now feel confident that I can do the basic crochet stitches and after some practice I will sign up to another course so that I can learn how to read patterns. I highly recommend this course.
- 5/5 from Diana, attended Oct 2023: Skilled teacher guided us through the basics with clear instructions and one to one help. Materials - yarn and large crochet hook-provided really helped me get going as a beginner. I'm not going to be proficient until I've done a lot of practising but this very enjoyable session has got me off to a good start.
- 5/5 from Debbie, attended Oct 2023: Anna was very friendly and patient adapting her approach for the 4 of us in the group. The materials provided were great- my hook was changed for one I found much easier to use. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and learning something new. Now for practice! Thank you
- 5/5 from Julie Coates, attended Sep 2023: Anna was extremely patient with us as we were total beginners. By the end of the class we had learnt a lot and were really pleased to see our techniques improving. Thanks Anna for a very enjoyable morning.
- 5/5 from Cynthia Cole, attended Sep 2023: The teacher was great, she was supported and gave confidence to me as a beginner. The space was good and the materials given to start a project was great. I am looking forward to attending another class very soon.
- 5/5 from Khadija, attended Sep 2023: This was a class of four students with varying experience - half absolute beginners. Our teacher, Anna, was excellent. After giving us clear instructions, together with demonstration, she would patiently go around the table and support every one of us individually, making sure we are doing it right. My plan is to practice what she has taught me and go back for another session to pick up new skills.
- 5/5 from Sharon Phillips, attended Sep 2023: Excellent patient teaching by Anna! Keen to follow up with another class! Clear instruction and helpful assistance - thank you!
