Kirsty was friendly and her skills are amazing, it was so easy to learn from her, she was very patient and quite happily showed you over and over.

• 5/5 from Julie Penn, attended Nov 2026: This course was excellent and I would highly recommed it to anyone wanting to gain a basic, secure knowledge of crochet. The teacher Rachael, was inspiring and made me feel relaxed enough to learn from my mistakes which enabled me to learn effectively. The course booklet will be a useful tool to remind me of the main ideas and the wool and crochet hook will let me start crocheting straight away. I was very surprised to find that this course has given me the confidence which will allow me to start teaching my grandson so we can make granny squares together - I did not expect this after just 90 minutes! At the end of the session I felt a sense of achievement at learning a new skill and also felt calm which is testament to the fantastic teaching skills of Rachael. Thank you!

• 5/5 from Maria Johnson, attended Oct 2026: A fabulous class. I was the only one so learning was great. I need to be shown how to hold the wools and my teacher was excellent. So patient and kind.

More than I could have hoped for. Thank you so much.

• 5/5 from Sharon, attended Oct 2026: Cathryn was lovely and took time to help everyone. I had previously done crochet, but a very long time ago so it was good to get refreshed.
• 4/5 from Cate Whitehead, attended Oct 2026: I enjoyed the class but found it very tricky to get the hang of - the instructor was knowledgable and talented.
• 4/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Oct 2026: I really enjoyed the class, Catherine was brilliant, very patient & positive, she put me at ease & gave me confidence. She gets 5 stars. The 4 stars is not a reflection on Catherine, the 4 stars is the issue of location & interruptions. We had a few people interrupt to ask general questions & 1 guy asked at length about the class, the cost, how long until you got good at it, etc. it’s difficult when learning a new skill to have someone holding a conversation literally over your head. The interruptions were outside Catherine’s control, as was the rudeness of that particular guy. Catherine dealt with the interruptions well directing them to other members of staff when needed.
• 4/5 from Fiona Sanderson, attended Oct 2026: Excellent Tutor! Just not enough time to really get to grips with crochet. Paper instructions I felt were not worth it as confused what the tutor was demonstrating. Have booked a 1:1 for more detailed tuition.
