Absolutely wonderful class! The venue is a lovely air-conned artist studio where they offer you cups of tea. And they have all the different crafts they teach showcased around you. We went with a 1.5hrAbsolutely wonderful class! The venue is a lovely air-conned artist studio where they offer you cups of tea. And they have all the different crafts they teach showcased around you. We went with a 1.5hr glass flowers workshop. My friend and I are both very crafty people and we locked in and were able to get a lot done in the 1.5hrs but I think if you want a more relaxed, chatty session treat yourself with the 2hrs. Our instructor was lovely and it was a very nice atmosphere. Very worth the money! I am getting lots of compliments on my new pendant :) And the second I’m going to gift to my mum + more

She was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly patient throughout the session. She explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable asking questions, and took the time to ensure I understood each step. Her friendly and encouraging approach made the whole experience enjoyable, and I learned so much. If you’re looking for a unique gift or a fun date idea, this is a fantastic experience. It’s definitely worth the price, and I would highly recommend it. Thank you, Abigail, for making it such a memorable experience! + more

I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable.I absolutely loved my session with Claire. It was a birthday gift to see if I liked machine knitting and if I wanted to take it any further, and I definitely do. Claire was lovely and incredibly knowledgeable. She tailored the session to what I wanted, introducing me to a machine that she recommended for what I’m interested in, clothing and textile samples. We then spent a happy couple of hours where Claire ran me through set up and the machine capability. We created a sample trying out different techniques, including lace, ladder and using a pattern and Claire recommended places to get a machine. I’m very happy with the session and would definitely recommend it. Thanks Claire + more
