• 5/5 from Maria Gavin, attended Apr 2024: I attended the beginners crochet class today. I learnt the basics and it is has inspired me to practice and learn more. The teacher was extremely helpful and patient and showed us what to do very clearly- great for a beginner like me. The venue was the store Hobbycraft in Tun Wells and we had a quiet, comfortable corner to ourselves. The class was very good value for money and I would definitely recommend it to my friends. I liked the teacher very much and will seek out her tuition again.

• 5/5 from Linda Harrild, attended Jan 2023: Val was very patient with us all. Very clear on her instructions and everyone grasped the concept by the end. Great value for money, venue was easy to find. Just heads up, if you want to have aloof around the local shops, you only have 2 hours parking and the class is 1.5 hours. Thorough enjoyed the experience.
• 5/5 from Kaylee Brett, attended Jan 2023: Val was the teacher and she was brilliant, she made sure everyone understood how to do the stitches and was very patient. I was a complete beginner. Relaxed and chilled atmosphere. I’d highly recommend the course. You even get 2 balls of lovely yarn, and your own needle to keep, which made it great value for money. Val even said if we get stuck on anything at home we could pop in for more help. The instruction sheet was great too and I’ll use as a reminder at home. Thank you Val :)
