One-to-one Cricut Workshop

Join us in store and talk to a craft expert for tips and advice on your Cricut machine or project!



1 hour Class size 1 on 1       £28

Join a Hobbycraft Colleague one-to-one and ask any questions you have about your Cricut machine! Stuck on a project? Need help with Design Space? Trying to get to grips with using a new material? Our craft expert will share tips and techniques tailored to you.

This is suitable for all Cricut users, providing the opportunity to get all the answers you need about your machine. Whether you’re crafting with a Maker, a Joy, Joy Xtra or an Explore machine, you’ll be able to get excellent insight for all kinds of projects. It’s a great way to get a feel for your new machine or learn about features you’re not as confident with yet.
During the booking process, you’ll have the opportunity to let your Hobbycraft Colleague know what you would like to focus on during the session. They’ll be able to prepare for a personalised workshop that answers all of your questions. 
You’re sure to walk away a Cricut crafting pro, ready to start making your next big project!

Bring a friend: You can now use the £5 add-on feature at checkout to invite a friend along with you, whether you’re working on a project together or you’d simply prefer having some company during the session. Your friend can enjoy any demonstrations given, and they are free to ask questions, but they will not receive the same practical, direct one-to-one support as is offered to the lead participant.

Please note: If you would like to discuss the Foil Transfer Tool, Knife Blade, “Print Then Cut” feature, “Curved Text” feature or “Offset” we would recommend that you book on to one of our online one-to-one Cricut workshop sessions as we are currently unable to demonstrate these features in-store due to them being for the desktop version of Design Space only.

Please note, our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

Keeping everyone safe

At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

Miriam was so informative and explained everything very well. She covered the design space and we were able to cut out images that we had chosen. She covered quite a lot and even had time to go into the easy iron on press. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and we felt we learnt a lot. We will practice now and then book another session.

It was worth the time and cost. My teacher Miriam was amazing, I’ve left with so much more knowledge I love it!
  • 5/5 from Valerie Woods, attended Feb 2025: Miriam (at Derby branch of Hobbycraft) was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the Cricut machine. Informative and she answered all my questions. She geared everything to what I needed to know rather than having a set spiel.
  • 5/5 from Lyn Bateman, attended Jan 2025: Class was focused on what I wanted to learn about the Cricut. Was hands on, not just watching the tutor. All questions answered. Very friendly and approachable tutor.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Bradley-Knight, attended Nov 2024: Super helpful! Would definitely recommend
  • 5/5 from Emma Walker, attended Jul 2024: Excellent workshop Nicola was really helpful and very informative I really enjoyed it. I booked this due to buying my first cricut and feeling quite daunted by it all however Nicola helped to make it look simple to use and gave me the encouragement to be able to try projects at home
  • 3/5 from Laura Derbyshire, attended Jul 2024: This was an introduction into the cricut machine however the store can’t actually cut anything to even show what can and can’t be done it’s just a you can do this and that and tap this and tap that. I do t really see the point it bringing the cricut extra out, plug it in and then not use it! There is so many things that can obviously be done with it but don’t feel it’s worth the money if you don’t actually try something out. I could have just asked Google 90% of it
  • 5/5 from Kymberley Wheatley, attended Apr 2024: Plenty of time to ask questions Took at own pace Very informative Would book again
  • 5/5 from Claire, attended Mar 2024: I attended a pre booked workshop with Marian to provide myself with knowledge on working with Cricut machines. Marian was able to show me the different machines suited to my needs and how these worked. Which I found very helpful. Marian explained if I had any further questions once I had left the store she would be happy to help and advised I could attend further workshops if I required any further support to get my project started. I found Marian very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

  • 5/5 from Kiran Shuib, attended Jul 2023: I recently attended a vinyl cutting class at Hobby Craft, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. Not only was the class great value for money, but Nicky was incredibly helpful and made the entire process enjoyable. First and foremost, the value for money of the vinyl cutting class was outstanding. The cost of the class was very reasonable, especially considering the knowledge and skills that were gained. Nicky provided thorough instruction and guidance throughout the class, ensuring that I got the most out of my experience. Nicky at Hobby Craft was incredibly helpful from start to finish. She was knowledgeable about the vinyl cutting process and was able to answer all of my questions. She took the time to explain different techniques and was able to provide a detailed demonstration of what I wanted. Nicky's passion for the craft was evident, and she was more than willing to share her expertise and offer tips and tricks to help me succeed. I highly recommend the vinyl cutting class at Hobby Craft. The combination of great value for money and helpful staff make it a standout experience. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, this class is a fantastic opportunity to learn a new skill and unleash your creativity. I'm grateful for the knowledge and experience I gained and will definitely be returning to Hobby Craft for future classes if needed. Thank you Nicky!
