In this accessible crochet workshop, you'll learn how to create your first crochet project using oversized tools and thick yarn. Throughout the session, you'll develop fundamental crochet techniques while working on a simple item such as a coaster, bowl, or table mat.
This hands-on activity welcomes complete beginners, requiring no previous craft experience. The use of large 10-12mm hooks and soft, stretchy t-shirt yarn makes the stitches easier to see and handle – perfect for those who might feel intimidated by traditional fine crochet work.
During the workshop, you'll master essential crochet stitches in a relaxed and friendly environment where the focus is on building confidence through an approachable introduction to the craft. The chunky materials allow you to progress quickly and see results sooner than with conventional fine yarn, creating an encouraging learning experience.
By the end of this enjoyable workshop, you'll have begun your first crochet project and gained the basic skills needed to continue developing this rewarding craft. You'll take home both your hook and a ball of yarn, allowing you to keep practising and expanding your newfound crochet abilities.

  • 5/5 from Nicola Cooper, attended Mar 2025: This class was so much fun! I happen to be the only one doing this class on a Sunday morning, so a one to one lesson for me. Winning! Sadly I am not quite ready to photograph work, as right now I am just trying to get my hands to do what they need. But I cant wait to start on an actual project. Teacher was super friendly. A really nice venue with a lovely vibe. I have already booked on for another this weekend. If your thinking about trying a skill I highly recommend. Stop thinking and just do it :)

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
