Edwin Rose • Apr 2024

Great and friendly art teacher, super manner, puts you at ease, as a result enjoyable class, thank you

Karen Beale • Apr 2024

2nd course I’ve attended with Nerissa. It was great! She’s very knowledgeable and inspiring, and manages to pitch her class for all abilities, which is a real skill. Thank you!
Karen

Alison • Apr 2024

Holly was a great teacher and got through a lot in a short time. I was pleased with my picture.

Charlotte Booth • Apr 2024

Great class. The teacher went through everything clearly and I was really happy with what I produced at the end of it.

Nickie Aspeotis • Apr 2024

Excellent as always. Just having slight problems downloading the slides. Recommend these workshops to anyone starting up on social media

Lesley Phillips • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed this class. Millie always gives clear instructions and lots of helpful tips

Susan Marshall • Apr 2024

Rachel was really good. She covered all the bits I wanted to know. Was very pleasant and obviously knew what she was talking about. A very enjoyable hour.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Really, really good. Very clear and enormously helpful guidance on how to improve how I draw eyes.

Annabel Morgan • Apr 2024

I had a great time taking part in this sketching tutorial with my granddaughters who are 12 and 11 years old. We all had different but realistic drawings at the end of the session and it was never pressurised or rushed Will look to another session soon, probably on drawing skills again

Siobhain Stansfield • Apr 2024

Excellent class. Very clear, was very happy with the end product. Looking forward to the next class I'm booked on

Alexandra Patrick • Apr 2024

Thank you Millie - very enjoyable session with great guidance and instruction from you. Looking forward to some future sessions.

Kim Louise Skerten • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the workshop. The pace was good and the teacher was really clear and easy to follow. I will definitely be doing more of these workshops.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Fantastic class, learnt so much, very easy to understand, tutor was brilliant and explained everything really clearly

Jacqueline Grant • Apr 2024

Millie explains well and simplifies shapes and lines - better understanding on how to draw eyes and which pencils for various effects. Thank you - great class.

Samantha Russell • Apr 2024

Millie was great and kept a manageable pace. Good tips on how to draw the face freehand (that was the bit I really needed) but others tips learnt too. Everything arrived in good time and complete.

Jennifer Shadbolt • Apr 2024

Priduct arrived wdll packed in time for the session
Friendly
Easy explained.
Easy to follow
Will definitely do again

Mary • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this workshop - Kathryn was very friendly and happy to answer any questions! We had done the beginner's crochet workshop and I think we would have struggled a bit initially without this - would recommend either doing that workshop or having a quick look at slip knots/chain stitch/treble stitch on YouTube beforehand.

Gill • Apr 2024

My daughter really enjoyed this workshop. The tutor was lovely - very friendly & helpful - thank you!

Christina Smith • Apr 2024

Enjoyed this workshop Millie explain each step well. One hour goes very quick be good to have hour and half workshops to give more time to do each step without rushing.

Heidi Gibson • Apr 2024

Really easy to follow and see how to do it and really useful as I had forgotten how to do it from being a child

Beena Nandha • Apr 2024

Lovely introduction to the craft! I really enjoyed learning the basic knots and look forward to watching the videos sent to learn more! Thank you!

Jan Clift • Apr 2024

Great class. Will watch the re-play & do some practice. Thank you. Will definitely book more classes.

Dorothy Hudson • Apr 2024

Tutor, Hannah, was good but 1 hour not long enough to do two projects so she had to race through. We also needed an object of approx 7cm diameter and 4 pins. Enjoyed the course but a bit rushed so could easily be left behind. Not Tutors fault.

Jean • Apr 2024

Very enjoyable, don't know where the time went. I just need to keep practicing. Thank you.

Helen • Apr 2024

Lovely relaxing class and was sent a high quality pack of items to use which arrived promptly. I would have liked an extra 15-30 minutes to do a bit more practice/observe while we had the teacher available but that’s because it went quickly as we were enjoying ourselves. It was great to have a class dedicated to left handed people thank you!

Chris Smith • Apr 2024

This was a great hour. Joey is knowledgeable and was happy to answer my newbie questions and provide advice. I finished feeling much more confident about what I wanted to try next and how to go about it. Excellent.

Shirley Rae • Apr 2024

The ambassador was very informative, with good clear instructions. Loved the designs and look forward to completing them. I've never tried quilling before so this is another craft under my belt and a nice little birthday present to work on today. Thank you!

Gill Goldfinch • Apr 2024

This was such a good session, pitched just right for what I wanted - personalised and very informative with a couple of new ideas suggested. An hour was perfect and Joey was extremely helpful. Highly recommended.
Thank you

This was a very relaxing workshop and everything was explained clearly. Thank you very much.

Kim Hardey • Apr 2024

Excellent explanations and very clear instructions. Some technical difficulties with the hosts visualiser meant that a lot of the time it was out of focus which made it a little difficult to see clearly.

Julie Green • Apr 2024

Loved this workshop so much. Fiddly at first and needs a bit of patience but Gisela explained the knot many times and it became easy to get into a rhythm. I’m thrilled with my beautiful little bracelet. Can’t wait to complete the other three bracelets in the video we were sent. Definitely recommend.

Sarah Krikorian • Apr 2024

The course was very informative and enjoyable. Katherine was a knowledgeable and pleasant tutor. The concept was very well explained and I was able to complete the square following the end of the hour and a half session. Thank you very much and I look forward to extending my fledgling crochet skills soon.

Deborah Johnston • Apr 2024

A lovely relaxed session. Thank you. The tutor answered questions and took the time to explain how to mould the flowers and leaf. Also had a good explanation as to how to attach the flowers to the mirror.

Sandra Beech • Apr 2024

Kathryn was so clear with the instructions as it's so easy to get tangled in knots. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this class after already completing the beginners class and working one of your easy crochet patterns to embed all I learnt, thus making this class clearer. I finished my first granny square too. Brillant class to follow on from the beginners class

Jacqueline Jackson • Apr 2024

Excellent very thorough session. She answered all my questions, and there were many. Would highly recommend.

Debbie Hutter • Apr 2024

Great fun will definitely do more pouring now. 2 days later my pours have changed so much.

Claire Woolhouse • Apr 2024

This was a brilliant workshop, easy to follow along and comes with pre-recorded videos after so that we can catch up with anything we missed and carry on learning, since there is only time to make one bracelet in the workshop. I haven't watched them yet but I'm sure they'll be just as easy to follow. We were also given lots of beads and yarn to use, which must make way more than four bracelets. Can't wait to make more!

Danielle • Apr 2024

Kathryn was fantastic! She really understood what help I needed and she was able to clearly show me how to overcome what I was stuck on. She was very friendly and easy to talk to, and made me feel very comfortable. I definitely have a better understanding of the crochet stitches that I was stuck on and have since been able to put what I had learnt into practice in a project that I am working on. I will certainly book further on-to-one classes in future when I need help. I very highly recommend these classes.

Nicola Gobin • Apr 2024

Very well explained and easy to follow instructions would definitely recommend it to my friends

Helen • Apr 2024

Good fun, and lots of ideas to go away with. Can't wait to play

Amelia • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this class! Definitely helpful to have some background knowledge of a couple of stitches (chain and treble in this case) but Kathryn, our teacher, was so helpful, patient and very good at explaining making it easy to follow

Lynda Broad • Apr 2024

Brilliant! Kathryn made complicated pattern instructions easier to follow. Would advise a little experience before the course, I did the Hobbycraft crochet beginner course a couple of months ago so used this course to build on my crochet skill set.

Amy Broadbent • Apr 2024

It was good. Clear instructions given and a great time to relax and paint. Could have done with some more demonstration into how to draw the boats.

Beth • Apr 2024

Instructor was friendly. Instructions were clear and repeated when needed. I couldn’t do everything within the class but found it easier the next time I picked up a crochet hook. The class definitely helped me improve and I’ve used the support video provided after the class too.

Sharon Moncur-Pearce • Apr 2024

Good to be shown by another left handed person and meet others who have the same struggles writing. It was a lovely hour - now for the practice

Catherine Walker • Apr 2024

Very nice tutor but I felt the workshop was a bit rushed for true beginners.

Nichola • Apr 2024

Another great hour spent learning new skills on this beginners guide to drawing with pen and ink. Everything was in the box that was needed including a template. The pace was good for me and I managed to complete my page. Great to have access to refresh skills at a later date as well.

Christine Burton • Apr 2024

Very good class, friendly and informative very easy to ask any questions, enjoyed making my green man would recommend

Christina • Apr 2024

Fantastic class, the host was very informative. She explained everything clearly and at a good pace so it was easy to keep up. Looking forward to the next one.

Helen Bradley • Apr 2024

Easy to access, clear instructions/explanation, lots of useful tips and presented in a clear, friendly manner. Great to have access to follow up video.

Kate • Apr 2024

So pleased with my bracelet! The class was at just the right pace I didn't feel under pressure and could easily follow Gisela. She was very patient and friendly, such a lovely way to spend an evening.I'm looking forward to making more bracelets, I'll definitely book on more online classes. Thank you

Victoria Summers • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the class it was clear and straight forward what we were to do but I started off ok but then got carried away with the sky and went over the horizon line into the sea and went downhill from there. I definitely
Need more practice doing fine lines.i will watch the recording and have another go

Margaret Corrie • Apr 2024

The workshop was very good and Emma was helpful and gave good instructions. Emma was also encouraging and understanding that not everyone was going at the same speed. I have done a few of the art workshops and enjoyed all of them.

Lorna Chandler • Apr 2024

Really good session. Teacher was super clear and friendly and went over things multiple times and in different ways to ensure understanding, also sent through the tutorials which means I can carry on doing it, and being able to refer back.

Rebecca • Apr 2024

20 ClassBento workshops attended

An enjoyable and calming workshop. No pressure or rush to get design completed in the hour and a handy video for reference afterwards.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

This was a great class. The teacher was very understanding when we asked a question and answered very well. You did not need all the things from the kit to do it as well. The teacher was great with lots of tips on how to do certain things in the class and in possible future paintings. Thank you Emma!
Also this class-when doing the painting of the landscape- was really free for you to do different colours of your choice and in the paintings you use different and interesting techniques such as the 'wet on wet' technique and many others.
The only thing was that the class went quite quick so it was hard to catch up if you needed to. But overall this class was amazing, really inspirational and really interesting for people wanting an arty career or just a time to relax and enjoy painting! I have attended other classes and used the techniques learnt to create gifts for people, and will definitely be able to do this with what I learnt from this class. Yet again, thank you Emma it was a great class!

Nicki Parker Brown • Apr 2024

I have never done any water colour painting before and was a bit apprehensive but it was so well presented I felt more confident to have a go. The tutor has sent a recording of the session and some hints and tips, so I can revisit and keep practicing. I bought the resources box too and am pleased that I did so I could exactly replicate what was being taught. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Cally Turner • Apr 2024

I've never tried water colour painting. Tonight was excellent. Emma explained what we would need and what it would be used for.
We were then shown how to prepare ready to start. Amazing to think the painting used about 5 different colours. Definitely doing it again

Filipa Neves Rasteiro • Apr 2024

I did the workshop with my daughter, who loved it, amazing were her words.
I also liked it, everything was well explained and Gisela is really nice and sweet.

Janeen Reade • Apr 2024

Very good class. Clear instruction, very patient and happy to keep going back over things to ensure everyone was happy.

Aurelie Sanner Theaker • Apr 2024

Lovely workshop! Very helpful, clear and with the right pace. The workshop presenter was welcoming and encouraging. Thank you!

Elspeth Halfhide • Apr 2024

I Really enjoyed it and Paula paced it just right. The time flew by so fast!

Helen • Apr 2024

Out of the three sketching workshops I have done I found the mouth the trickiest but with the recording and the reference sheet I will practice, practice, practice!
Different artisan than the last two but same high level of expertise and helpful advice!

Vanessa Cumper • Apr 2024

I could have done with the template in the parcel. I was disappointed to only recieve a trinket dish lidded box and basic set of pens.

Julie Webster • Apr 2024

It was my 12 year old son that did the class but I was listening in. I thought it was brilliant. The teacher was so enthusiastic and engaging. My son learned lots of new techniques which he can now practice using the left over paper. Well worth the money.

Alison Thompson • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this. Basic intro on how to use pouring paint and then three different techniques to try. The kit that came with the workshop is excellent, ten paints, four coasters, four canvases plus other tools. I used all four coasters and am really pleased with the initial results, will be interesting to see how the finish turns out.

Megan Taylor • Apr 2024

The teacher was a bit too fast so it was difficult to follow what she was painting.

Elizabeth Bolton-Speight • Apr 2024

Simple and easy for a child to understand.
I absolutely loved it and had fun

Jill Clayton • Apr 2024

Loved this class, very easy to follow, not quite finished my painting, going to add to it

Diana Blake • Apr 2024

A great beginner class. Rachel explained all the steps clearly and the time flew past. I would be keen to do more classes.

Marion Scott-Baker • Apr 2024

Delighted with my success in this class as IT WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT LEARNING TO DRAW

Fantastic class, really enjoyed it, Emma was really warm and friendly and happy to answer everyone’s questions, great having the recording and extra link on drawing different coloured fur which I was really grateful for as something I’m very interested in.

Fran Hancock • Apr 2024

Enjoyed this class and learning something new. Looking forward to creating some more flower pictures.

Carolyn Postles • Apr 2024

Gill • Apr 2024

Brilliant tutor - very friendly & helpful. May daughter really enjoyed the class. Thank you so much!

Fiona Mary Ritson • Apr 2024

The artisan was great - patient, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. I wasn't sure how it would work via zoom but it was like having a personal tutor. Really enjoyed it!

Sarah • Apr 2024

Excellent introduction to brush lettering. Well-paced workshop with opportunities to ask questions as and when appropriate. Thank you.

Christina Craig • Apr 2024

Great fun and plenty of opportunity to add your own personal touch. Informative and good to have a copy of recording to refer back to.

Emma Wells • Apr 2024

It was a really good class, showed the techniques several times and lovely bracelet. Was able to keep people at different paces going

Emma • Apr 2024

Really good, great pace, friendly, answered questions proactively- before I needed to ask out loud! Length of session was just right and equipment was great

Judith Ricketts • Apr 2024

Milie was clear and encouraging with her instruction. Pace was just right allowing me to watch what she was demonstrating and also put into practice. Art supply pack of good quality.

Christine Robinson • Apr 2024

I learnt something new which was very interesting and easy to follow apart from the finishing off the bracelet, but I will look at the videos and catch up there.

Angela Deakin • Apr 2024

It was a good workshop and the teacher gave good tips. I found it difficult to trace the image onto the clay. But that was my problem rather than the course.

Perhaps if there was more information upfront regarding the tracing paper in the preparation for the course it would of helped me out

Colin Freed • Apr 2024

Very good course, excellent tutor. I never thought my bunny would look half as good

Tracy Bayliss • Apr 2024

Really friendly teacher, great pace of class, well explained and great kit supplied too. Would recommend.

Emma Chambers • Apr 2024

Great course on lino cut printing. Never done it before, but easy to follow. Complete kit sent in good time, with all you need. Very enjoyable. The lino design / cutting is quite mindful. I found the printing harder than the cutting. Will need to get used to the block ink paint which is quite different to acrylic paint. Very enjoyable though I highly recommend the course.

An enjoyable session. She explained very clearly. It was helpful she included a practise on using the fan brush.

Avril Coffey • Apr 2024

Really enjoyable class. Good explanation on use of pens and demonstration of techniques.Thankyou Millie

Kelly • Apr 2024

Really enjoyable class but felt very rushed. The class needs to be a bit longer. The artisan was very good but just had to cram too much in.

Mrs Edith Low • Apr 2024

Brilliant workshop, very therapeutic. Get lost drawing in dots, broken lines etc. Artisan very pleasant and informative. The fine liner pens that come in the kit are excellent.

Jane Monk • Apr 2024

Rachel was a brilliant facilitator. She made the session really enjoyable. Never thought I'd finish the project - but Rachel made it look easy and was very encouraging. She gave us really good tips and I am keen to keep going. Thank you for putting on the session.

Madeline Dossor • Apr 2024

As a complete novice, I have learned a great deal. I'll need to keep practicing with the mixing of colours but now I can paint a picture! Thank you.

Lesley Phillips • Apr 2024

Lovely class with great tuition. I think my teeth look a little scary but I will use the video to practice.

Sally Shepherd • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this course and learnt a lot. Tutors were really nice and patient. Would recommend.

Fiona • Apr 2024

Teacher was wonderful, very patient. No criticism on part of the teacher, but perhaps an extra 15 minutes would allow for certain techniques to be repeated. Time was definitely very pushed from start till finish.

Lisa Harrison • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed following this course very interesting following the different artists hints & tips thank you so much x

Nina Muench • Apr 2024

My son and I attended the Zoom workshop, and had bought the sketching pack to accompany the session. It was fantastic! The instructor was friendly and all her instructions were thorough and comprehensive. The session was just long enough to complete our drawings, and we were very happy with our results. I would recommend.

Tracy Eyles • Apr 2024

Enjoyed the crochet class and learnt lots, Kathryn is really helpful and a great teacher

Marian • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this class. Learning the different techniques using the fineliner pen was something I hadn't tried before. A lovely quiet relaxing way to spend an hour. Look forward to receiving the videos so I can practise a bit more.

Judy Dean • Apr 2024

Enjoyed the class but a bit too fast for me! Tutor was good and knowledgeable. As part of the course we receive a recording and instructions afterwards.

Unfortunately this is the second time I've had issues receiving a recording although all resolved now. Frustrating as I couldn't complete the project on the day.

Virginia • Apr 2024

Was a great class, very clear instructions and great for a beginner. The materials that were sent to complete the course was more than enough to produce several bracelets which is great.

Jan Clift • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the class. Learned a lot, now need to re-watch the video & do some more practice. Thank you.

Jan Clift • Apr 2024

Really enjoyable. I learnt a lot. Now I need to do some more practice. Thank you.

Really good session learnt a lot, not long started drawing. I need to buy some putty eraser

Melanie • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed this workshop with an experienced tutor who provided lots of tips to achieve a watercolour with fine-liner ink picture. The tutorial has given me the confidence to try more with fine liner ink pens in my watercolour paintings. An absorbing class - so a nice break from everyday life - with nothing to think about for an hour other than achieving the painting! Thank you.

Sharon Burton • Apr 2024

Lovely person leading the class, enjoyed a lot. Very descriptive. Would definitely recommend to others.

Frankie W • Apr 2024

Informative tutor, helpful and understanding towards learners, a good online session.
Good idea to send out recording afterwards, thank you

Thanks to Paula for the introduction to brush lettering. Everything was explained very well. It is also great to have the recording and practice sheets etc to continue with afterwards.

Jennifer • Apr 2024

Loved it! The course was really well run, informative, relaxed and easy to follow. Kathryn, the course instructor, was so lovely and patient. I can now do double stitch and treble stitch and I’m delighted! I can’t wait to sign up to more courses!

Tatyana Moreira • Apr 2024

Very clear instructions to follow and the recorded video at a hand what could be better?!

Melloney Cripps • Apr 2024

A really enjoyable and informative class. I was able to create a watercolour and found the session relaxing.

Thoroughly enjoyed this class today. Some great tips and advice along the way, as well as the host Gisela problem solving questions from others during the hour.

Tracey Greco • Apr 2024

The teacher wad good but unfortunately due to one person taking up the time with all of her questions I felt I couldn't ask anything so I was unable to catch up when I wad stuck

Caroline Thomas • Apr 2024

Absolutely brilliant I was able to keep up and will definitely do more of these workshops

Miriam Patterson • Apr 2024

Great class and good clear explanations from the instructor, Gisela. Enjoyed myself greatly- thank you!

Catherine Burrell • Apr 2024

Took a few minuets to actually start anything and tutor didnt say hello to people when they joined
Quite rushed no time to go over things slowly if you didn `t get it straight off
Disappointing in that the duration of the class didnt allow one to actually complete either of the designs shown as both had several parts to the more complex bits ie daffodil centre and certainly the bluebell didn`t have enough time to be shown properly
In all disappointing and very rushed Totor not very engaging

Rebecca • Apr 2024

Lovely workshop, Hannah answered people's questions throughout. Covered a few basic techniques for various shapes to get us started with both projects. Having the video as a reference for after is a helpful reminder for finishing off the projects

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Chrissie was excellent and helped me with troubleshooting. Great workshop! Would definitely do another one.

Charlie Geraghty • Apr 2024

I wasn't able to make the time as I was called out for something but I was so pleased that I was sent an email with the workshop link and was able to watch and follow in my own time, I am pleased with what I was able to do and I was more pleased that I now have a link to click and follow if I ever need a recap

Bronwen Hawkes • Apr 2024

It was a very relaxing workshop, the tutor was friendly and offered tips and alternatives throughout the process. It is great that you can take the workshop without buying the kit as I already had the materials. Thank you!

Lesley Phillips • Apr 2024

This was an informative class with lots of tips on how to get different effects and it explained how to use the equipment

Lesley Phillips • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the freedom that this class gave using a mixture of media. We’ll done Millie

Mark Parsons • Apr 2024

Thank you for a lovely workshop - it was really relaxing and very enjoyable. I would recommend this workshop.

Tim • Apr 2024

A truly superb class. I produced a drawing far in excess of my expectations! Thank you Emma.

Andrea Scrafton • Apr 2024

A great hour spent with Hannah who explained everything really clearly to a total beginner. I'm inspired to get a pattern and get started! Thanks

Ruth Tipping • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed this class. I learnt a lot on how to use the posca pens. I will be grateful for the recordings and links as my WiFi kept losing connection.

Fiona Atkinson • Apr 2024

So good, can’t believe my drawing looks like a real eye. Very impressed! Thankyou.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

A very enjoyable hour with a really lovely teacher. Thank you very much, we'll be back for more.

Michelle Edlin • Apr 2024

Very good and perfect for my 12 year old who enjoys drawing. Looking forward to attending more in future.

Kay Wightman • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed it. I’m taking partial retirement and want something new to fill some of my time

Linda • Apr 2024

Friendly tutor, efficiently run and great to have a recording to refer to for further practice.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Our workshop leader was very friendly and knowledgeable. I wasn't keen on the idea of an online workshop, but the way the facilitator's camera was over their work meant that it was really easy to follow what they were doing, probably more so than if the workshop had been in person.

Edith Andrea Paskell • Apr 2024

Chrissie was friendly and very helpful. I was nervous of trying a zoom class but I will happily do it again if I need to. Thanks, I will now be able to finish my granddaughters dress.

Andrea Kay • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the workshop, though not brave enough to do the egg yet. Concentrated on practicing on the tags with all the techniques. The time flew past

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Great class. Very informative, lots of tips on pencils and eraser. You are given time to catch up after each step and can watch it online again if you are not finished.
Nice result too

Rebecca Stevens • Apr 2024

Really fun and informative class. The hour went by so fast. Looking forward to continuing this hobby.
I made a few mistakes but that's all part of the fun. Would definitely recommend this class

Emma • Apr 2024

The class was rather rushed - there is a lot to fit into one hour and I was unable to finish my picture in the class.

Jes Freeborn • Apr 2024

Thankyou Rugile, although I found this class a little fast paced, I feel that I have learned a lot and will be going back to the video and keep practicing. Now looking forward to a portrait sketching class at some stage.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Super session! Very professionally presented and so pleased with the outcome. Will be signing up for more in the future. Thank you!

Sabine • Apr 2024

I've taken this class as a review, having not sewn for over 25 years. Lots of little tricks and things to look out for, that I've never heard of. Being from Germany, there was a lot of new terminology in English language patterns, so glad I now know what they mean. Highly recommended. Thank you so much.

Jackie • Apr 2024

Good value for money especially with 20% off. I was impressed and grateful the Hobbycraft team allowed my friend to swap to an alternate date when she was unable to attend at the same time as me. Good kit. Hannah was friendly and supportive and answered questions as we went along. Helpful to have the video sent after the course too. I found a cocktail stick was helpful for putting the tacky glue on the paper strips and wish I’d known my pinking shears would have been handy for the edges of the bluebells. I do think the session was too short to make both the bluebells and the daffodil/chick.

Linda Brazier • Apr 2024

I enjoy the course very much. I am sorry I can access the video that Hannah promised?

Katherine • Apr 2024

Hannah's tutorial moved at a good pace, not too fast nor too slow. She answered all the questions. I very much liked the way she went through all the info on a pattern packet. And best of all were her tips on pattern buying and trying things out (e.g. on old/sale fabric) before making your final item. Slight criticism: don't over- complicate by talking about alternatives while showing us method/fabric X. Also I wouldn't be without your email attachments & links. Thank you so much!

Jude Freed • Apr 2024

Loved this simple how to guide on making foam flowers, I shall definitely be playing around with this and look forward to trying it out with my grandson to make some creations that won't involve a lot of mess :)

Hi brilliant informative workshop. I have a Joy but after this workshop I want a Joy Extra and A Maker 3 very knowledgeable about all Cricut products. Looking forward to taking my Joy and Mug Press out of the box. I already purchased the mugs in the craft month so saved money again. Would definitely recommend this workshop.

Sue Anderson • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed this class and making the sunflower bag. I wasn’t sure about online learning for practical skills such as crochet but the online classes covered a lot and the recording was invaluable especially as you can re watch the parts you need to Thank you.

Sheila Morgan • Apr 2024

Very informative workshop. Learned a lot about patterns. Tutor was excellent. Good value for money

Andrea McGuinness • Apr 2024

Clear instructions, peaceful & calm great way to spend an hour of your day relaxing & learning!

Janet • Apr 2024

Hanna was very informative and gave me a good understanding to give me a little more confidence to actually start to use a pattern rather than just sewing squares. I have given 4 stars rather than 5 as I had to purchase zoom as the free zoom only allows you 40mins and not 1hr although it would have been possible to log off and back in again but you would have missed some of the tutorial.

Andrea Duxbury • Apr 2024

Thanks Hannah, that was very informative and useful. Wish there was a part two, as there is so much to learn as a beginner!

Esme Watson • Apr 2024

Great session. Really informative. Feel much more confident about going into the shop and looking at patterns now

Sara Beecroft • Apr 2024

I thought the instructor was really good and I liked the materials provided but think the class would be better smaller to allow everyone chance to raise queries.

Catherine Moore • Apr 2024

I loved the class, thank you so much. Gisela was wonderful! I learned a lot and the pace was perfect. It wasn't rushed and I'm very pleased with what I achieved!

Rachel was very good at explaining everything. I’m a complete newbie so definitely want to learn more however I’d rather do that in a personal face to face lesson.

Karen Wilks • Apr 2024

I love love love this class. The flowers and characters I made look adorable. Irene was lovely and extremely talented and helpful

Abbie • Apr 2024

This was a fun class with a great instructor (Irene)! I really enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to making more flowers to decorate the mirror with. The clay needs time to dry before it can be glued to the mirror and we managed about 2-3 flowers in the hour, so have lots more to make, but the class was really enjoyable.

Elaine Thomas • Apr 2024

Gisela was a lovely enthusiastic teacher. She explained everything clearly and patiently. I made 2 bracelets very quickly (some after the class), and had no problem remembering the instructions. You are sent a video of the instructions as well though.
Excellent class, and highly recommended!

Hazel • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed my first experience of using watercolours. The tutor was wonderful. We were given clear instructions, with time to practise each stage of painting. Happy with my finished piece and will sign up for some of the other £5 watercolour online classes. Thank you.

Fiona Day • Apr 2024

A brilliant class with Chrissie, she explained everything really well and went the extra mile when I was stuck on a stitch. I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot too. Thank you

Vera Burch • Apr 2024

Very enjoyable, Kathryn who led the class was excellent. She was friendly, calm and clear, and obviously very experienced as she explained every single thing that we might struggle with. She also went through the stitches nice and slowly.

Jackie Hullock • Apr 2024

Kathryn was a very knowledgeable instructor. Very good in the way she took each stage slowly with a good explanation. She went over everything many times. Will definitely recommend.

Dawn Simpkins • Apr 2024

Kathryn was brilliant, so calm & easy to follow. Class was easy to follow. Clear instructions. Will definitely attend another Hobbycraft session

Lesley Phillips • Apr 2024

I didn’t receive the template before the session so had to draw freehand which I wasn’t confident about so didn’t enjoy the session as much as others I have done

Shirley Rae • Apr 2024

Such a brilliant class. I absolutely loved it. Ambassador explained everything thoroughly and took their time showing the process during the video. Lots of great tips and demonstrations. Will be practising more now. I know how to use the tool.

Sunita Johal • Apr 2024

Loved it really relaxing thank you for today feeling proud of my little wooden egg

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Very well run class. Trainer was very clear and enthusiastic and clearly knew her stuff.

Olivia Beaumont • Apr 2024

Instructor was lovely. I had extra questions and also went wrong and needed to start over - she was kind and patient and started right over with me, walking me through it all. Will definitely do other classes. Would be even better if 2 hours so we could make a longer piece and then do the wire part in real time.

Ruth • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this workshop, brilliant explanation and pace, really well led by Rugile thanks very much!

Caroline Leech • Apr 2024

The workshop was very good, although the first bit was a bit fast. Thank you!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

This was the first time I’d joined a Hobbycraft workshop and the first time learning macrame.

Gisela was wonderful at explaining the technique. She is so positive and encouraging. I did manage to make a bracelet but need a lot more practice.

Would recommend joining these workshops. A lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.

Peter Ireland • Apr 2024

A very, very good one to one. Well worth the money and my time, I will return.

Sally Reeves • Apr 2024

The tutor was very helpful and gave useful tips, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and everything was explained well!

Fiona Kane • Apr 2024

Thanks very much for a super workshop, really enjoyed learning how to start Macrame, legend.

Sheila Cracknell • Apr 2024

Learnt a new skill. Thank you!
Loved the idea of using a threader first to thread a bead…

Claire Cope-Collins • Apr 2024

Brilliant workshop.
Fun and I am so happy to have made my first bracelet.
Giselle was a fab host she explained things really well.
I am looking forward to making more.
Thank you

Shirley Rae • Apr 2024

Very informative, clear instructions and precise. Ambassador was extremely helpful to questions being asked during the session. Bag of equipment received was great value and more than enough for the course.

Sarah Dennis • Apr 2024

I have never used air dry clay before and Irene explained the process perfectly.

I prefer to watch a tutorial first and then work at my own pace so having the video to follow after the class was a real bonus.

I loved this introduction to air dry clay and I am looking forward to using it again.

Bethany Morley • Apr 2024

Really great lesson. Learnt a lot including how to join the different colours into the square. Teacher was really helpful and thorough

Susan Bunker • Apr 2024

Learnt to make a granny square with Kathryn's help today. Brilliant fun. I did get a bit stuck at one point but Kathryn was so kind and patient. Enjoyable 90 minutes. Thank you.

Therina Moore • Apr 2024

Great class, never tried a portrait before, I learnt so much about shadow and shading. Really enjoyed it Emma.
I would recommend all of the art classes. I have gained so much knowledge about art, and enjoyed all of them. Thank you!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Had so much fun and created a bird painting for the first time which I'm super pleased about.
Would recommend the class to anyone!

Samantha Hill • Apr 2024

Great class, love that you get the recording too. The teacher is really great at explaining the very thing clearly, and you’ll end up with a beautiful birdy.

Deborah Fry • Apr 2024

Course was awesome. Teachers very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anyone who has just purchased a cricut. Weekly sessions were nicely paced and you could either work along side with them, or like me take notes and then try out in your own time.

Emily • Apr 2024

I enjoyed this course, the time went really quickly each week and a lot was covered. Clear instructions were given for the pattern and assembly along with lots of options for the border and the handles. There was no pressure to get all the squares completed in the week, I had just enough to have a go at the joining technique. Looking forward to completing the bag.

Susan • Apr 2024

Very instructive and gave me a good insight into the techniques and equipment for a craft I've never done before. I need much more practice to get my shapes looking right.

Jane Stuart • Apr 2024

Unfortunately I missed the live class on Wednesday due to a hiccup with getting my email link on time. My fault. However I really enjoyed the recorded class and have just completed my art work. Thank you.

Alison Finlay • Apr 2024

Great workshop with clear instructions, good advice and follow up email was really appreciated. Would recommend

Moira Ruby Bostanci • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed the class, have now done eyes nose and mouth. So helpful having the recording to practice again and improve.

Lily Akhtar • Apr 2024

Extremely helpful approach to novel drawers. Explanations of techniques and the different pens was really good.

Jessica Batchelor • Apr 2024

Quality of the items sent was really good. It was easy to follow along with the session and just overall very enjoyable and relaxing to take part in.

Azeema Siddiqui • Apr 2024

Had lots of fun and learnt new things. The box was great too. Thank you.

Therina Moore • Apr 2024

Great tutor, thank you for making this class so enjoyable. Our tutor made the drawing, painting techniques and overall experience so easy, loved every moment of it. Was very pleased with the finished kingfisher.

Wendy Brown • Apr 2024

Loved it! Looking forward to taking my time over my painting-my rushed one below!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Loved it. Gisela was fab - very clear, very patient and reassuring! Would happily recommend it.

Janita Osei-Poku • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the workshop. The instructions and demonstrations were very clear and I’m glad to have the recording so I can replicate the class in my own time.

Tatyana Moreira • Apr 2024

I have not been able to join but have received an email with recorded video of the tutorial +extras. So happy. Thank you very much!

Michele Farmer • Apr 2024

Nice easy paced class, enjoyed it. Really fed up that I have to add a certain number of words to the review it’s really annoying puts me off leaving it

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Another great class with Irene who went through all the techniques at a good pace for beginners. Great to have the recording to finish things off too.

Lynn • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed this workshop and I felt is ran at a good pace for me.

Julie Green • Apr 2024

Lovely relaxing workshop. No rush to finish the design during the hour. Irene gave us lots of ideas so that we could either copy her design or create our own designs. Finished my dish and now looking forward to completing my pot. Great value. Definitely recommend. My daughter was unable to join the class as it was full, so I bought her the bits from Hobbycraft and she completed her dish too.

Joanna Waugh • Apr 2024

She was lovely very supportive. Clear instructions and good interactions with individuals which is sometimes difficult on group classes

Julie Johnstone • Apr 2024

Very clear and easy to follow instructions
Answered questions and went through the stitches several times

Elizabeth Smith • Apr 2024

Lovely class, I really enjoyed it and was a great switch off. Face paced but the video is sent to you afterwards and did manage to get a finished painting. Tutor was fab and really clear.

Grace • Apr 2024

It was a very enjoyable class. The materials you sent were very good to work with. I am very pleased with the outcome and pleased I can review your video and try another Kingfisher painting on my own.

Sharon Ahmad • Apr 2024

It moved a bit too fast for me - I felt like others were getting it before me and I was holding people back by asking questions. I think this would have worked better in person.

Jacqueline Grant • Apr 2024

Good class on tonal values for a portrait. This is a good introduction to portrait painting and I think making it less complicated is encouraging if you are just starting out with portrait painting in watercolour. Thank you.

Carol Winder • Apr 2024

A very well thought out class. Easy to follow although lighting was a bit poor at times. A nice touch to send the video of the class to us to follow again at our own pace. Thankyou.

Anne McBride • Apr 2024

Lots of informative information given in limited time space.
Well done Rachel
Buzzing to get started now

Tabi • Apr 2024

It was really well taught and you are able to do whatever sort of design you'd like throughout. And some great tips to help you in the future.

Yvonne • Apr 2024

Lovely and very enjoyable class. The kit provided was superb and I loved using the posca pens to decorate the trinket dish. The artisan explained how to use the pens and showed how to create the design in good clear steps but also encouraged our own creativity.

Helen • Apr 2024

This is the second Hobbycraft Workshop I have done. A very professional and easy to follow session and if you want to practise afterwards you have the recording and reference sheet to refer back to.

Eunice Dockrell • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the class very much and although I have been doing pouring paint for a while just on my own I found this very interesting and helpful. I will definitely recommend this to anyone
Thank you very much

Sharon Burton • Apr 2024

My wife bought me this as a gift. The course pace was just right. The teacher was absolutely excellent. I would highly recommend this course. Thank you very much indeed.

Haaris Idrees • Apr 2024

I had a lot of fun away from the playstation and made something creative. I can practice more at home with other canvases

Laura Allen • Apr 2024

Great session with a knowledgeable teacher. Great way to be introduced to a new technique

Sarah Onions • Apr 2024

Fab & messy class.
Loved it.
Well explained. I got a little behind during the class. But loved it and the results

Jeanne • Apr 2024

A great class, my first attempt at pyrography. I didn’t use my egg for the lesson but I have two flowers and a spray of leaves on my practice tags. Now for the egg with a little more time to spend on it.

Michelle Blake • Apr 2024

Workshop was great, only critical feedback is that the only reminder you get from ClassBento is the day before the class when it’s too late to cancel or change the date, there should be a reminder further out too.

Miron Quick • Apr 2024

Excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. Lovely, clear instructions and I really felt I'd learned something.

Isla • Apr 2024

Good pace, mostly relaxing, especially the painting. The teacher gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Colin Freed • Apr 2024

Very good course, learnt a lot. excellent instructor, and having the video means I can practice later

Meghan Jones • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed this. Good intro to a new material with plenty of tips, felt that we got a decent chunk done given the drying time of the clay and the follow up video that completes the project has already become useful as a refresher. Irene was a very clear and helpful instructor who also knew how to handle the online aspects of the class, which I very much appreciated.

Gill Marshall • Apr 2024

Great step by step practical guide by the Artizan. Plenty of tips and later handouts emailed. Good pace, would recommend.

Lorraine Hillier • Apr 2024

Brilliant hour. it was a lot to cram into an hour, but you managed to do it really well and informative. would recommend

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Excellent class. It was well paced and clear instructions. It is suitable for all abilities.

Nicola Parker • Apr 2024

Loved it - very clear instructions and very friendly tutor. Encouraged me to do another course

Kelly Bishop • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed the workshop. The kit & quality of products was excellent. Gisela, the teacher, was great at explaining what to do & how to do it, showing as she went along.

Sheralee Lunn • Apr 2024

Fab workshop. I learnt so much about this amazing clay and how to mould it and blend it x

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

I enjoyed it
12 more words 9 more words 6 more words 3 more words

Sarah Daniels • Apr 2024

fabulous course, well led, and good pace, great explanation, and made me feel confident in trying this new product and technique. lots of examples.

Tija • Apr 2024

I'd highly recommend this class. It was so easy to follow and we were shown lots of techniques. Perfect for a complete beginner.

Susan White • Apr 2024

Gisela was an excellent teacher, she explained the knots in great detail and showed the easiest way to do them. I am new to macrame and have always had a brain block on knots. I was surprised I was able to keep up with her. I'm very happy with what I learned and would recommend this course to everyone.
I found the information about what items I would need to provide a bit lacking. The email said scissors, but you also needed some kind of tape and tape measure or ruler.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

This class was great to learn watercolour. I am not very good at watercolour but the artisan taught what each brush is good for and went through lots of explaining how do do everything. I will definitely buy more workshops now as they are such a fun activity for an hour.Thank you to the Artisan Rugile who instructed the workshop!

Julia Rattlidge • Apr 2024

Loved the course although i think you need a bit of experience in basic crochet before embarking on it. Value for money. Its a lot to learn and do in a short time. would be lost without the video received after

Alex Burton-Keeble • Apr 2024

A lovely relaxing class. Easy to follow instructions. Simple techniques for a stunning effect. Very happy with the end results and now I have the confidence to have a go by myself.
Thank you!

Jenna Port-Smith • Apr 2024

So much fun
Thank you the teacher was so lovely and went at a good speed
Thank you

Sarah Walker • Apr 2024

An excellent workshop. The tutor was patient and ensured that everyone knew what they were doing. She waited for people to catch up whilst keeping a steady pace for people who were more confident/competent. The hour and a half were gone in a flash. There is still a lot more to do before it will be completely finished and perhaps this should be made clear at point of sale, as people may expect to have a finished item at the end. Also need to add that you need some paper to work on and scissors to open then the clay and a small bowl of water. The tutor instructed us before the lesson began, but those arriving close to the start really need to be fully prepared. You also need cling film or a plastic bag to keep your work moist until finished. May I also suggest to include a tray so the work can be moved easily, whilst you are still working on it.

Carolynne Adam • Apr 2024

I struggled to begin with, but the tutor was so reassuring that I got my confidence and look forward to practising, may I suggest that it would have been helpful to have been told that we would need tape and a measure in advance so that we could have them to hand. However it was a very worthwhile experience thank you.

Alexandra Patrick • Apr 2024

Great lesson - thank you Emma. Such good fun, and the time passed so quickly. I felt learned so much from your guidance.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Highly recommend as the teacher was very good at explaining everything and allowed us to work at our own place.

Haley Maxfield • Apr 2024

It was my first time participating in a class and using watercolours. Our tutor was lovely, went at a great pace and the results were fantastic.
All the necessary materials arrived well ahead of the class, the zoom aspect of the class was no problem at all, you actually feel like your in a classroom as opposed to being remote.

Charlotte • Apr 2024

This was great- very interactive. Helpful teacher. Didn’t seem rushed and the tutor is sending us all of the techniques. Thoroughly enjoyable class

Vikki • Apr 2024

I enjoy the watercolour classes, I learn new techniques with each one. I'm looking forward to experimenting with different colours and styles

Julie Baldry • Apr 2024

Great class. Engaging and inspiring/ loads of tips and practical help. Really enjoyed it, thank you

It went so fast loved every minute of it. Learnt lots of different techniques. Would do another one x for a first attempt I was pleased with what I produced x

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Really enjoyable class, never found myself that good at art but found the process really relaxing and something different to do on a week night. The leader of the class was really lovely and very encouraging. Would recommend for someone without any experience

Annette Purkis • Apr 2024

Really friendly tutor
Lots of great tips and techniques
Encouraged to experiment with own style
Should be 90mins minimum

Yvonne • Apr 2024

Great value class with lots of advice for how to draw realistic lips. Both mouths were clearly explained and broken down into easy to follow steps and time was given to modify and make changes where needed.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Very therapeutic and the teacher was lovely. Unfortunately there wasn't much content so I didn't feel I got to learn any technique and didn't give me any enthusiasm to continue to practice.

Judy Grevett • Apr 2024

The class was very enjoyable. The teacher was very knowledgeable and passed on lots of tips. She explained the pattern very clearly.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Angela Clare Jones • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed my first Hobbycraft online class. Excellent, friendly presentation. No pressure to have camera on or chat, really good pack which arrived in plenty of time.

Bethany Thomson • Apr 2024

A brilliant course - the teachers were very friendly and knowledgeable. The classes covered a range of techniques and were long enough that I could make along with the teacher.

Sian Slater • Apr 2024

Very enjoyable and relaxing. Lovely pens and paper to work with and very helpful templates.

Fiona Todd • Apr 2024

Gisela is a fantastic tutor. She makes everyone feel that they can achieve well and explains and supports the process so well. I really enjoyed the workshop and I am pleased with the results! Thank you

Wendy Brown • Apr 2024

Really relaxing! Enjoyed the course but could have been longer as felt rushed near the end. Would definitely recommend. Kit was good and I’ve booked on to the course tomorrow and using my kit from this on - great value!

Lindsey Clarke • Apr 2024

Very well demonstrated. Simple step by step instructions. Would recommend. Lady made it look effortless

Alexandra Patrick • Apr 2024

Great session - thank you Rugile - good pace maintained during the class with very clear instruction throughout. Looking forward to the next session already!

Lesley Wertheimer • Apr 2024

Excellent, clear instructions and tips, very worth doing. I have 2 other tool sets I purchased some time back, from you, and have been using them but was not sure re techniques

Jane • Apr 2024

Really helpful techniques learnt for another facial feature I'd previously struggled with. The class is enjoyable and, as always, the tutor is encouraging and approachable. Thank you.

Sue • Apr 2024

Excellent class - I produced some great noses!
Very good pace and instructions. Thank you Rugile

Jennifer Arthur • Apr 2024

This was a very enjoyable class, one of the best I have attended! Thank you

Anna Clapton • Apr 2024

I really enjoyed this class, it was well structured and informative. The teacher took us through the steps at a pace that was easy to do. I really like that we get access to the recording after to go back and watch any bits we missed or wanted to review.

Grisela was excellent and it was a very helpful and relaxing workshop. I enjoyed learning some new skills for my watercolour painting.

Marie Halford • Apr 2024

Fantastic class and well explained by Christie and Kathryn on respective days. Thoroughly enjoyed the course and would recommend. Loved it and please continue to add more crochet classes.

Yvonne • Apr 2024

This was a really lovely class and excellent value for money. I loved the lack of pressure to replicate something a particular way and the freedom to create different shapes, colours and use different techniques with the watercolours and pens. It was incredibly relaxing and something I will explore further in the future. The video recording was helpful to support finishing it off as we didn’t quite complete it all in the class but we had all the tools and support necessary to do so.

Amy Dyson • Apr 2024

I enjoyed that fact I could watch this at my own convenience. It was a good workshop with lots of helpful info and ideas

Helen Modos • Apr 2024

Enjoyed the class, instructor was great explained and demonstrated well. Any questions asked were answered.

Anne Elizabeth Hall • Apr 2024

Class was good. Clear instructions, Instructor spoke very clear and was understood. Would recommend to friends and family

Michelle Bunting • Apr 2024

First week excellent - showed all the stitches clearly and how to create square. Felt second week was harder to follow as watching rather than doing. Hoping the video makes it all clear.

Rachel Bentley • Apr 2024

Great fun and surprisingly easy to achieve good result. Techniques were explained clearly and simply. Loved it!

Julie Coker • Apr 2024

I couldnt connect straight away. Missed half the class. The 1 question i asked, the lady did not know the answer

Anne Frances Newton • Apr 2024

Very clear instructions from Emma to complete the project very enjoyable a workshop to consider joining the waiting list

Emily Cupper • Apr 2024

A thoroughly enjoyable workshop.
Emma was knowledgeable enthusiastic and inspiring to listen to.
She gave lots of tips and ideas

Eleanor • Apr 2024

Interesting and helpful workshop led by Emma who was friendly, knowledgeable and lovely to listen to. She gave lots of hints and tips and ideas of how to develop your skills and use your creativity. Pleased with my finished work and now feel more confident to do more. Thanks Emma for an enjoyable workshop.

Colin Freed • Apr 2024

a great course, and a good teacher, did not think I could achieve what i did

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Excellent tutor. Extremely helpful. She took you through the steps very clearly and she was very encouraging.

Holly Aungiers • Apr 2024

Emma is a brilliant teacher. This was a good paced class and useful techniques taught. I’m learning to draw freehand and add and blend the layers with these hobbycraft classes, but pleased with my first attempt at this bunny. It is useful to have the video of the class sent afterwards to try it again.

Anne Macarthur • Apr 2024

Hannah was very patient and helpful. Made everything easy for me. Great workshop, highly recommended.

Amanda Jenkinson • Apr 2024

This is the first time I’ve attended one of these online classes. I found it enjoyable and informative.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

This class was amazing the teacher gave excellent advice and many techniques to help with your drawing and answered any questions anyone had 5 ⭐️

Kate Fisher • Apr 2024

Informative, patient and helpful artist who wanted us to achieve our best. She gave you time to follow her instructions and refine if needed.

Janice Horton • Apr 2024

I am new to macrame so could have benefited from the pace being a little slower but I enjoyed the learning

Lorna Wison • Apr 2024

I found the class very informative. The tutor was friendly and very knowledgeable, and supportive. The provided lots of tips for my ongoing project and advice to improve my sewing skills going forward.

Mary • Apr 2024

Chrissie was a great teacher - very friendly and welcoming, and happy to show things again if anyone was a bit stuck. We'd watched a couple of videos the day before just to get an idea of what to do (slip knot and chain stitch) - without this we probably would've struggled a little to start with! Chrissie took us through slip knots, chain stitch, double crochet and treble crochet, and also made helpful suggestions about tension, winding yarn, and a book with details of many more stitches. Thanks again for all your help - we enjoyed it so much that we've already booked the granny square workshop!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Apr 2024

Well paced, informative and enjoyable class. Managed to complete the word after the class without any issues, feel like there maybe a lot of words made!

Alexandra Snell • Apr 2024

Had a great time during the workshop. Really pleased with experience and results.
Instructor was kind and bubbly.

Peter Stainsbury • Apr 2024

Really enjoyed it. As it happened chanced visitors made me miss the live session but did the emailed one the next morning. I also found the pause button at last which meant not missing anything. Thank you. Peter (present from my granddaughters for my 80th birthday)

Jane Stuart and • Apr 2024

We enjoyed the session but it felt very rushed because we weren’t able to go as fast as the instructor. Thankfully, we went back to the recording that was shared after the session and finished off our cards. The recording seemed easier to follow. Our instructor was lovely and very friendly. We’ll try another season, probably painting. Great value for money, thank you.

Samantha Russell • Mar 2024

The course was great and the tutor (Rachel) was very helpful and patient. Good tips and tricks and I managed to turn out some prints during the course.
I had a small issue with the kit that arrived, but customer service was brilliant. Hence 5 stars.
Definitely something I'll try again, maybe layering different colours next time.
Could there be a follow on course for that?
Thanks team

Mrs Susan Boddy • Mar 2024

I had the distraction of my grandkids and interruptions from various relatives turning up but despite all, I thoroughly enjoyed the session. Thanksx x

Jordan Ingles • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed the workshop, was really easy to follow as someone who had never tried quilling before. Thank you!

Debbie Hemming • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed this class, I was new to crochet at the beginning of the 6 weeks and have now booked on to several more classes. Kathryn was patient and allowed multiple questions and clarity if we did not understand and the class lead you through the blanket step by step. Great class, thank you to Kathryn!

Chelsea Ambrose • Mar 2024

Had so much fun! Chrissie was a fantastic teacher and I'm excited to explore a new craft.

Nicola • Mar 2024

Great step by step class, easy to follow and easy to ask questions for clarity. I have struggled with decreasing and increasing in crochet before and this class explained it brilliantly! Thank you!

Caroline • Mar 2024

Teacher was fantastic, very patient and inclusive. Videos afterwards were invaluable. Can't recommend more highly. Thank you.

Liz Haunch • Mar 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I’m not a beginner, but I have struggled to get granny squares right, and I’ve found reading patterns a challenge at times.

I’ve figured out where I’ve been going wrong with granny squares, learned to get stitches correct that had baffled me before, and I’ve been able to work on a more complicated pattern that I’ve been avoiding.

I’ll get around to finishing off the blanket too, but I’m enjoying my tricky pattern so much I’m going to get that finished first - now that I know how

June Kehoe • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed the workshop.
Found the painting really relaxing.
Very knowledgeable and engaging tutor. Would recommend.

Karyn Hicks • Mar 2024

Irene was so very patient teaching us how to initially work with the clay.
Then she showed us how to make flowers. Her instructions were very clear and it was awesome to see the shape start to be completed. Irene was so helpful always open to questions and to repeat anything anyone may not have understood

Kath Thorne • Mar 2024

Very useful and informative session with Chrissie. She was very patient, knowledgeable, went at a good pace, and has inspired me to start my Cricut journey immediately!

Kara Lawrence • Mar 2024

Really informative and inspiring workshop. Encouraged me to do more jewellery for myself. Nd as hifts

Susan Carole Griffith • Mar 2024

I found it difficult to keep up with the teacher. So I just had to watch and wait for the download. so I can work at my own at pace

Michelle Allott • Mar 2024

A very relaxing hour with something to show for it at the end. The artist was very good and gave enough time to keep up.

Absolutely Brilliant Can’t wait to watch the recording as I have connection issues sometimes

Clare Groves • Mar 2024

I enjoyed the class. My only problem was being able to see the pencil marks on the black paper.

Gerwain Wilson • Mar 2024

I did a mandala pencil drawing a few years back but that was with an open workshop but I found this mandala acrylic pens and making notepad much better because there were quite clear and straight forward instructions I’ve done quite a few workshops and looking forward to the seascape watercolour painting in a month or two

June Threadwell • Mar 2024

I have just finished the 6 week course of crochet granny square blanket.
I thoroughly enjoyed learning how to crochet. Kathryn Evan’s took us through the first 5 weeks and for the last week we had Sarah to finish. Both ladies were very patient and helpful in teaching me to crochet. I would definitely recommend this course and I am going to look out for other courses. Thank you very much.
Kind regards june ️

Penelope Stubbs • Mar 2024

Great macrame lesson today. Managed to finish my bracelet but I need some more practice to get the knots looking even. Gisela was a good teacher and went over everything several times. Looking forward to making some more bracelets now.

James Eccersley • Mar 2024

Relaxed class, clear instructor, learnt a new art form, more practice required. Include compass in the kit?

Karyn Hicks • Mar 2024

Irene’s class was brilliant. Had such a relaxing time and she was so patient and nothing was a bother. Gave great hints and tips whilst not stifling an individual persons creativity.

Laura Gonzalez • Mar 2024

the class was very easy to follow. The trainer repeated the steps several times and sometimes in different ways to guarantee that everyone was understanding the process. Thank you very much.

Tina Wright • Mar 2024

Brilliant demonstration and perfectly timed. I like that we'll have a video to use if we forget the process.
A wonderful relaxing hour.
Thank you

Jennifer • Mar 2024

Great workshop, Gisela was brilliant and really supportive throughout.

Absolutely thrilled with what we’ve been able to make and can’t wait to receive the follow up videos for more techniques!

The only negative was that we needed masking tape / something heavy and a tape measure which wasn’t mentioned as part of the prerequisite email.

Mum • Mar 2024

Loved the class! Surprised by how much we covered in such a short space of time. I booked for me and my mum so that we could do the class together. It was loads of fun and we learnt loads. Definitely recommend the class to other newbie artists. Can’t wait to sign up for another one.

Janita Osei-Poku • Mar 2024

Very enjoyable workshop, instructor was very clear and I felt comfortable that I could ask questions of I needed to.

Sara-Jane Pepper • Mar 2024

Class started exactly on time. Quick pace. Great choice of picture: pretty landscape which was forgiving for a beginner.
I didn't buy the kit since I had everything already. Some great hints and tips given

Celia Hill • Mar 2024

Good instructions but wasn’t happy with the colouring, bit wacky for me. Will have another go and watch the video

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Kit was very good and excellent value for money. The host was friendly and demonstrated well.

Edith • Mar 2024

Very good workshop. Great quality kit, like the canvas bag. Artisan very informative and pleasant.

Victoria Buchanan • Mar 2024

Found the camera not focusing annoying at times. Found some tips useful and I look forward to doing more designs but will be doing this on flat surfaces not a rounded egg to start with. Would have liked to have had an explanation as to what the additional tips could of been used for.

Debbie Fletcher • Mar 2024

This was something I always thought looked great, but wouldn't be able to do. Christie was a brilliant host, taught us how to use the wood burning tool, what to use it on and how to transfer images. The hour flew by! Can't recommend it enough.

Helen Wielesiuk • Mar 2024

Excellent workshop. Really good fun. So informative. And who knew I could paint Loved it.

Amanda Lodge • Mar 2024

Good class love the techniques learnt a lot and enjoyed it. I just had a bit of trouble keeping up as there was a lot to get through.

Karen • Mar 2024

The kit had everything I needed and the teacher guided us well through the stages of sketching out and painting the bunny in watercolour. I was pleased with the result considering I am not a great artist and drawing a bunny is not a natural talent. Thank you

Karen • Mar 2024

A great class for beginners like me to try watercolour painting. Had a great time following along and giving it a go. The kit had everything needed.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed the class and learned enough to be able to finish decorating the egg the following evening.

Susan Carole Griffith • Mar 2024

There was not enough set up information. Eg pulling the plastic cups apart and the silicone was hard to open.

Jes Freeborn • Mar 2024

1st let's be clear, I am a complete novice. I have only participated in one previous class (eyes)
I found this one very helpful with lot's of tips on how to use the equipment and achieve 3D results.
I'll be honest, I did find it a little difficult to keep up towards the end, but having the benefit of the video, it is not a problem.
Overall a very good class, very helpful and thanks for sharing your expertise Emma.
I'm now looking forward to doing noses! :)

Yvonne • Mar 2024

This was a class that required lots of patience and takes a lot of time after the class to complete. The clay is a little difficult to work with when trying to roll out the tubes needed for the 3D relief effect as it keeps hollowing out with air bubbles. The video sent after is really helpful and as it is time stamped, it is easy to find the required bit as you need to continue working after the class. I now need to wait the 9 days of drying time before I can paint the green man. The kit provided is good but my template was really crumpled and i wasnt able to make a copy of it before the class. It isnt really re-usable after using it to trace into the clay so i recommend making a copy of it first in case you want to make another after.

Bernie Trodden • Mar 2024

Excellent session and information provided and questions answered are going to help me enormously with my work. Thanks so much

Annemie Breesch • Mar 2024

It was amazing, the time flew by! It didn’t feel like an hour at all.

Alison • Mar 2024

A well-taught class and fun too. Thank you. I was pleased with my bunny.

Natalia • Mar 2024

I had so much fun in this workshop! It's the ideal project to introduce you to a glue gun because you can achieve a really impressive result in just one hour without any prior experience of making wreaths or using a glue gun. The instructor was really warm and helpful, guiding us through at the ideal pace. She gave us loads of options to customise our wreaths and ideas for other crafting projects to try. Highly recommended!

Debbie Patterson • Mar 2024

Enjoyed the class. The teacher was very good and explained and showed how to do the items very clearly. Would definitely do another one and was great to get the videos aswell.

Eleanor Kennedy • Mar 2024

Very helpful class Rugile taught us all about the different types of pencils and techniques to make our eye drawing more realistic.

Rachel • Mar 2024

Loved this class, guidance was delivered in a clear way and instructor gave time to catch up. My bunny looked better than I had expected for my first attempt! Loved the hints and tips that were shared by the instructor who was very friendly and smiley. Will be booking more classes and I can't wait to continue painting more, thank you!

Herjit Sandhu • Mar 2024

The hour rushes by and thankfully videos are sent for watching at own pace with more than one bracelet. Lots of thread and beads supplied to practice on. Hobbycraft always very generous.

Suzanne Bello • Mar 2024

Such a great class with a really supportive teacher showing all the techniques and answering all questions throughout. Would love to do more and different patterns. Enjoyed doing it together with others online.

Julie • Mar 2024

Rachel was an excellent and friendly teacher and she provided lots of useful information in the session. She made all the features of design space seem much clearer and a lot less daunting.

Gillian • Mar 2024

Rachel was very informative and friendly at all times. She was a natural.presenter and would recommend a class with her.

Judy Ryan • Mar 2024

Very good beginners course. Chrissie was an excellent instructor and made it all look very easy. Took her time with us all and explained all the stitches in detail. Would highly recommend

Charlotte • Mar 2024

Managed to produce a very good piece despite having no real experience. Good teacher however the course did seem rushed with very little interactivity. Could have probably just watched a YouTube video and had the same experience

Katie • Mar 2024

Excellent class, very good set up with camera to demo the different stitches. Chrissie was very patient and answered everyone's questions - she was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Loraine Thompson • Mar 2024

Lots of tips…great advice.
Good value will use knowledge for the future

Great fun. As always Holly led the workshop very well and sent a video afterwards. I feel the class could have done with being a bit longer.

Kirstin McKenzie • Mar 2024

Pyrography. Lovely, friendly trainer, all items required for the class received in plenty time. Clear instructions given throughout, this was an interesting workshop. Thank you.

Natalie Tinsley • Mar 2024

Great session covering all the buttons, basic and advanced. Feel more confident now to make my own things.

Glenda Gould • Mar 2024

lovely ideas
we did the tag to see how it all developed
we will watch the video as a recap and have another go tomorrow during the day

i think a large piece of wood - flat - would have been a benefit for first timers

great to have a go

Gillian Stevens • Mar 2024

No improvement needed, it was great, very enjoyable class, will be visiting hobbycraft to buy more

Jennifer Ryan • Mar 2024

Really relaxing and fun, the host had technical difficulties so we started late, but she was apologetic and made up the time. I’d recommend these classes. The kit was good quality and appropriate

Good session. Helpful instruction that didn’t go too fast or slow. Has some trouble at the end with the darkening and re-lightening but for the rest it was great and an enjoyable session

Yvonne • Mar 2024

This was a great class. Having completed the flat wooden signs before it was great to try the egg with the curved surface. The kit was good quality but it would be good to have the option of purchasing a kit without the tool as people who have done previous workshops don’t need one. I enjoyed creating the different flowers and learnt a few new techniques that can be created using the tool.

Diane • Mar 2024

Good quality materials and enjoyable class. The techniques taught enabled me to my amazement to produce a decent result

Kimberley Oram • Mar 2024

Everything was explained so I could follow each instruction well. I will be happy to book more classes with her.

Really enjoyed the class. Didn’t go to quickly which is sometimes a problem for me and reasonable result

Joanne • Mar 2024

Prior to the course I had looked at several YouTube videos but still hadn't grasped the technique, couldn't even keep the wool on the hook. Well, during the session with Hannah successfully I completed simple crochet stitch then double and treble. Hannah very patient and clear in her instructions. Session very enjoyable. Thought session may have been able to include some examples of pattern instructions.

Penny McLaren • Mar 2024

It was really great fun and extremely educational.

Sanchia Le Marchand-Phillips • Mar 2024

Lovely workshop. It was simple, friendly and great fun. I will definitely do another one.

Overall it was very good, its just the way I learn and need it to be slower.

Kate Martin • Mar 2024

Good fun and clear instructions. Not enough time to finish but showed how to complete and read the pattern

Kate Martin • Mar 2024

I loved this class. It was simple but looks so effective. Great fun and clear instructions and already planning the next one

Victoria Peach • Mar 2024

The workshop was great - I loved every minute & now have the wreath-making bug! I've been in store today to buy more bits to make one for my Mum!

Helen • Mar 2024

A very well organised and professional online workshop. I have dabbled in sketching eyes before but still picked up on some helpful tips to improve my approach.
The hour went by so quickly so it was really useful to have the reference sheet and the recording after the workshop to revisit and practice.

Carole Short • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed making the wreath also the tips and inspirational ideas from the instructor. Happy with the design and colours used.

Alison • Mar 2024

Well explained and helpful class. I was pleased with my eye. Glad to have the recording too. Thanks.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Sarah Battell • Mar 2024

Very good presenter, amicable and approachable. Difficult to see back of pattern as camera was blurry

Ruth Rogers • Mar 2024

Very clear presentation. It went at a fairly quick pace but the attached recording allows a catch up if anything was missed.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

The tutor was very thorough in explaining both safety precautions and the method to create a wreath, the kit is lovely, some left over to make part of another wreath.

Deepa S • Mar 2024

Emma taught us very nicely and patiently. The class was very therapeutic. Thank you very much.

Jane • Mar 2024

Such a enjoyable class, well presented and at the right pace. I'm fairly new to sketching and found the tips invaluable. Will definately sign up for another class.

Claire Warwick • Mar 2024

I very much enjoyed my first Hobbycraft workshop. It was lovely receiving my little pack and it was a therapeutic session, with the comfort of sitting at home on a rainy evening and enjoying the workshop. The materials are good quality and the session was well paced. Thank you.

Therina Moore • Mar 2024

Holly is brilliant, loved the class, got all the info just need to practice. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this class and was very pleased with the finished piece of art.

Claire Macklin • Mar 2024

I have done classes with Rugilee before and they are always amazing. She is a great teacher. Before discovering these classes I thought i was rubbish at drawing but i am always surprised by what i can do in the class. Thank you

Yvonne • Mar 2024

A very enjoyable class which was well worth the money. I enjoyed learning the techniques with the fine liners to outline and add detail. The artisan modelled all the sketching required clearly one step at a time and then putting the water colour on at the end really bought it all to life.

Christine Anderson • Mar 2024

Great workshop, thank you for taking your time to run through everything. Clearly explained each step. Enjoyed very much and have a lovely wreath to show for it. Will finish off and hang tomorrow. Highly recommend

Jess Coates • Mar 2024

Yvonne • Mar 2024

Great class and the little chick is really cute. Feeling much more confident in the different stitches now; the three easter crochet classes have really helped with that. Excellent value for £4 and the recording and pattern sent after is so helpful.

Jes Freeborn • Mar 2024

Thankyou Rugile, as a complete novice AND 1st time user of zoom, I found your eye sketching class very clear and easy to follow and picked up lot's of tips how to make the eye realistic. I will go back to the video and keep practicing (I'm more Picasso than Rembrant at the moment!)
If the rest of the courses are this informative I'm glad I've booked the nose and mouth sessions.
Thanks again, Jes

Gillian Bloyce • Mar 2024

Fantastic course. Really learnt so much and loved our tutor Emma. A really super way to spend a Monday evening x

Gail Roberts • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed it. Quite surprising what I actually managed to produce in an hour (for a complete beginner). Perhaps there could be less time spent on talking about the make up of pencils, which would have allowed more short inserts for 'catching up'. Great tips about measuring for 'scale'.

Carole Pugh • Mar 2024

Very easy instructions to follow for a complete beginner. Loved my butterfly and hope to use the technique in drawing other objects. Thanks for an enjoyable hour.

Rugilee was a great teacher, she went at a steady pace and was friendly and encouraging throughout. I learnt a lot about layering to produce a more realistic eye. Was great seeing everyone's efforts at the end, all in all it was a very relaxing way to spend an hour. Am looking forward to the mouth and nose class

Ros • Mar 2024

Very good. Friendly instructor who gave clear advice and some useful tips.

I do though prefer workshops where I can attend in person

Mary Smith • Mar 2024

Rachel was great and gave lots of ideas. Explaining well. I will plan to do more abstract art in my spare time now.
Relaxing and theraputic.

Megan Bloomfield • Mar 2024

Rachel was a really good teacher she made the techniques really clear and meant we could have fun making our projects in whatever way we wanted. Definitely will do it again!

Yvonne • Mar 2024

Great class broken down into manageable small steps. It was delivered at a good pace and everything was modelled clearly. I found the eyelashes tricky so need to practise this bit more. Very good value for money.

great session

Christine Wheddon • Mar 2024

Irene was amazing, she explained things really well and gave us tips on doing things easier and cheaper (always a bonus!) Unfortunately I wasn't able to use zoom and design space on my lap top at the same time, but Irene is putting tutorials in an email so I can practice offline. Next week I will do the zoom on my phone so I can join in with the crafting sesh using my lap top. Really pleased with it as she tells you exactly what to have ready. This is the first time I have had my machine out of the box, since I bought it almost a year ago, and I feel more confident about using it now. Can't wait to do vinyl next week :)

Karen • Mar 2024

Enjoyed the Eye drawing workshop. Explained clearly, easy to follow along and instructions were repeated when needed or asked for. I have learnt a lot more about the shading and techniques of drawing an eye.

Deborah Rich • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed this workshop.
Rugile was very helpful, explaining the steps and tools being used.
I haven’t done sketching like this since high school, so loved getting back into it. Will keep practicing.

Lisa Davies • Mar 2024

Many thanks Irene.

Diane Roberts • Mar 2024

The bunny workshop was great. It was easy to follow the instructions and create a fun bunny for bunting along with the chick and carrot. The video is very helpful, again with clear instructions and the model of how to do it once the workshop is over. Thank you.

Doug Liddle • Mar 2024

Very enjoyable. The green didn’t show up so well but the other colours popped nicely. Clear instructions from an engaging presenter.

It was a good starting point for learning some of the techniques needed. The host was nice and answered questions. I managed to make a pretty bracelet and I will try to do more.

Really good course. I’m new to crochet and still managed to complete the bunny by the end of the workshop so I’m really pleased. Got some really good tips and have all the information I need to make more and improve my skills.

Collette • Mar 2024

Great online class. Everything is clearly explained and opportunities to ask questions too. If you can do basic crochet, I'd recommend this class as it's helped me learn new stitches and terms.

Valeeta Smith • Mar 2024

Very detailed and felt comfortable to ask questions. Thank you ️
I would recommend to others.

Julie • Mar 2024

I enjoyed the 1 to 1 session and Joey was really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions really clearly and gave me loads of useful tips. The zoom connection didnt work well on my Chromebook so had to log in by phone in the end
- thank you to Joey for her patience. It was an excellent session and I feel confident to try a lot more projects on my Cricut Joy now.

Rachel • Mar 2024

The workshop was run with very clear explanations and instructions, and a very welcoming presentation, thank you Chrissie!

Marie Halford • Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this course and loved making an Easter egg with Chrissie’s expert help. Explained fully with patience and humour. Thank you and looking forward to my next course.

John Diplock • Mar 2024

Rachel was really nice and she explains well. I liked how we did a project whilst learning about quilling in general. Thank you. It was a really nice present from my grandad x

Jean Barber • Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed the quilling workshop with Rachel. The time flew by. The craft kit has sufficient items to do a lot more quilling. Excellent value, thank you. Jean

Liz Scotney • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed the workshop and found it very helpful. Because it was 1:1 I was able to ask in depth questions tailored to my own needs.

Lauren Hargreaves • Mar 2024

Excellent workshop. Very easy to follow and understand. Excellent instructor. Really enjoyed this workshop. Would recommend.

Adriane Lukic • Mar 2024

My sister and I love to craft and this was a great crafty hour. Irene, the guide, gave very clear and concise explanations and also alternative options if you wanted to create something a little different.

Lorna Wison • Mar 2024

I found the tutor very informative, friendly and helpful.
I have used patterns before but didn't read much of the tips and guidelines that was provided. This is something i will do to create better garments. Thank you

Claire Graham • Mar 2024

Brought this class as a mother's day gift, my Mum loved the class and enjoyed learning new techniques. Will definitely be looking at booking more water colour workshops!

Michelle Heritage • Mar 2024

Really good overview and start to sewing with patterns.
Tutor paced session well.
Thank you

Amy • Mar 2024

Kit and contents is all provided and great value, you can make several eggs from what is provided. Our tutor Chrissie was really patient and happy to go at the pace required of the class. She explained the pattern really well and in detail. This class is definitely for an experienced/intermediate crochet person not a beginner

Louise Dorow • Mar 2024

It was good to have an actual leftie demonstrate letters. The resources with examples could have been better for a left handed person though.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

I do love these Hobbycraft workshops, they provide opportunities to try a wide variety of different crafts. Millie was patient, taking us through the safety precautions and explaining each step in detail.

Ava-Mae Hinton • Mar 2024

Disappointed others didn't put cameras on. But I enjoyed class.

Teacher didn't ask to see what you'd achieved after each class, so could give you tips

Niki Sanders • Mar 2024

Was a really good class. Very clear examples and well paced session that covered the key skills

Vikki • Mar 2024

This is the second watercolour class I've done, and the fourth class overall. I did enjoy it, but I didn't find it as useful or as easy to follow as the previous watercolour class. I felt there wasn't quite a clear enough description and instruction for each stage and how it was all going to fit together, so there are things I would have done differently if that had been more explicit. I also felt like the image we were being instructed to paint was very simplified, even compared to the reference painting, and I would have liked more focus on actual techniques like blending the colours of the sky together, and ways to paint distant boats to look more realistic and not like a child's drawing. I forgot to take a picture of my painting at the end of the class, as I then went back and worked on it again on my own. I plan to paint along with the recording again, knowing the intended layout in advance now, to see if it feels different, and to see if I can get the sky colours to blend this time. Maybe there were things I missed in the live class that made it go a bit wrong for me.

Angela Blackwell • Mar 2024

It was given to me for a present, I don’t think the picture was very good. I found the class ok.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed the class. The tutor was very good and I was very pleased with my finished wreath.

Dani Jones • Mar 2024

The pace of the class was a little slow, but it was really enjoyable! I look forward to making more clay projects now.

Linda King • Mar 2024

Great fun. The air dry clay is lovely to work with, no mess which is a bonus! The demonstration by Irene was excellent. I look forward to making the rest of the flowers tomorrow.

Wayne Pepler • Mar 2024

Thank you Millie the workshop was amazing and informative.
The workshop and kit is great value for money and i could do it all in the comfort of my own home.

Alex • Mar 2024

Joey was great! Very helpful and patient with a newbie to cricut and design space! I had troubles that required very specific answers that i had scrolled the internet for hours in search for that was simply cleared up with joey within 1 session! Very polite and informative

Thanks

Tony Gascoigne • Mar 2024

Found the workshop most helpful, had a rough idea having watched people on you tube, and reading a book. Just nice to have reassurance I was on the right lines of trying pyrography.

Miss Sadie Newman • Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. Rugile was amazing at explaining each step and more than happy to answer questions & resolve any problems. I would highly recommend this workshop.

Debbie Currie • Mar 2024

Kind of lost the pattern on the 3rd round, but kept on watching. Will watch the video to practise. Very informative though.

Germaine Fairclough • Mar 2024

Well structured and friendly. Lots of good advice given to help you build your skills. Look forward to making more.

Emma • Mar 2024

Loved it! Learnt a lot! And realised my machine itself was faulty that’s why I was struggling so even advised how to fix! Thank you so much!

Kaylee Gay • Mar 2024

It was really enjoyable and easy to follow. Quickly brought back memories of doing this as a kid. Host was brilliant. Wish the arches on the doll were sturdier.

Fiona Todd • Mar 2024

Chrissie clearly demonstrated the methods needed to crochet a bunny. She gave support, encouragement and additional suggestions to enrich the experience. Thank you!

Frances Bath • Mar 2024

Had a really relaxing hour doing the Easter wreath today. Kit arrived on time and the whole session felt clear, well organised, well taught and easy to follow with room for changes to patterns if people wanted to switch it up and well explained. Also had good over head view of teachers work so can see progress. Thanks for a great session will definitely book another. Highly recommended.

Gemma • Mar 2024

What a wonderful way to be introduced to a new hobby. Found it easy to follow, great kit provided, the lesson was well thought out & not rushed. Found it very therapeutic.

Tina Pollard • Mar 2024

I enjoyed the workshop and was able to make a small and the bigger carrot. Friendly teacher, great to get the email with the pattern and video.

Naomi Cottam • Mar 2024

Trainer was positive and friendly. She gave clear instructions and we could work at our own pace. Enjoyed learning a new craft.

Helen Earlie • Mar 2024

Ok class but feel as though it didn’t even need to be an hour.

Sally Astill • Mar 2024

Great clear tuition Easy to follow Would recommend
All items sent by post to complete the session.

Kate Pontin • Mar 2024

A lovely workshop for a cold wet Saturday morning. The host was friendly, information and full of good ideas to make the group understand each step of our macramé bracelet.

Clare Kiefer • Mar 2024

It was a lovely class and paced just right. Giselan was so understanding to our requirements and gave tips if we went wrong. Thank you

Really want to do more classes with her now.

Meg Farrow • Mar 2024

Giselle was a brilliant teacher, so bubbly and lovely and happy to repeat things and go through things slowly to make sure everyone understood what to do. Had an amazing class and will be definitely signing up for more workshops :)

Heather Cherrie • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed this workshop with my Mum. Rugilee was very patient and helpful and friendly. Thank you

Eleanor Kennedy • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed this class as it went at a good pace, we got taught some very useful techniques by Emma and I was left with a desirable result.

Alison Higley • Mar 2024

Realy helpful good explanations for process and happy to go back and recap Feel I have got to grips with the process but glad to have access to the video to review and consolidate practice.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed the course, and having the recording afterwards was perfect as I was able to practice at my own speed. I was very pleased with my first attempt and am looking forward to making some more of the designs.

I would just have liked a bit more help with the decreasing as this is not something I have done before, but with practice I will improve, and the video has helped with this.

A very enjoyable hour and a half. Thank you.

Rachel Ward • Mar 2024

A little slower for us please but a great class. We will go and practice.

Ffion • Mar 2024

Really good thank you! happy there has a left handed one enjoys it a lot x

Clare Kiefer • Mar 2024

It was a lovely class. Would like the carrot also as in my pack I got the materials to make all.
Thank you Chrissy.

Maureen Cox • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed the session, it taught exactly what was advertised, I feel much more confident now.

Gill Bullmore • Mar 2024

Excellent class, well presented with clear explanations. I really enjoyed the class and learned many new techniques

Lin Bye • Mar 2024

Made this seem much easier than I expected. It has given me the motivation to try on my own

Jill Edwards • Mar 2024

Great class for beginners. My picture doesn’t really resemble the tutor, Emma’s. But I thoroughly enjoyed doing it and am keen to try again. The recording of the lesson will help. Emma was great. She explained everything and went slowly without making anything too complicated. A class to be recommended.

Alison Higley • Mar 2024

Excellent tuition calm delivery clear instructions and repeated for reinforcement
A very well delivered teaching session by Holly Thankyou for a great evening of crafting

Jacky White • Mar 2024

Easy, simple instructions to follow at a reasonable pace. Very enjoyable course, thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Sandra Holmes • Mar 2024

Good session, helpful, friendly and very pleasant host. Session was very visual and host went at a sensible pace.

Maureen Faulkner • Mar 2024

The class was very easy to understand, Paula took time to explain and showed how to do each step more than once and gave us ample time to ask any questions that we may have had. The videos were an added bonus. Thank you Paula, you were great!

Barbara • Mar 2024

I enjoyed the macrame class with Paula. As others have said, an hour is a little too short for a beginner to complete the bracelet. Paula sent the link for the videos straight away, which was great. I plan to work through those over the next few days. Thank you Paula.

Jennifer Boyle • Mar 2024

Enjoyed the experience but as a complete beginner, I was very slow because I was trying to do it carefully & only got as far as cutting out the design. Decided to not try & do any more during the workshop as I was missing out Irene’s instructions, & Just watched what she was doing. It will take me far longer to finish it before it dries, so will have to commit a lot more time to doing it over the next few days than I anticipated. Haven’t looked at the video yet but will rely on that to remind me. Despite all this I thoroughly enjoyed workshop & thought Irene was a good teacher.

Kay Hope • Mar 2024

Holly made the class very interesting and informative as a beginner the pace was slightly too fast for me, but we were sent a copy of the class so I can go over it again.

Suzie • Mar 2024

The teacher was very enthusiastic and the workshop was fun.
The pace was way too fast. You didn't have time to finish one section before the next started and the paint didn't get a chance to dry.
Overall a good workshop but it wasn't as good as the other ones I've done.

Alexandra Patrick • Mar 2024

Good session run by Holly. There's a lot to cover within an hour, and the session was very pacy, so i probably think this really needed 75 minutes to fully do the session justice. Not sure how Holly managed to keep talking and guiding us and still produce her painting too!

Marie-Laure Guerin • Mar 2024

One hour was very fast.
However, the young woman had time to explain how to use the felt tip pen and technics but we didn't have much time to practice.
She gave us a lot of ideas and used the hour very well.

Beena Nandha • Mar 2024

The class was very relaxing and the tutor Emma was patient and paced everything well! I look forward to practicing from the recording!

Tina Holt • Mar 2024

The class was brilliant. My first one I have attend and I am a beginner to watercolours. I was very impressed one point was a little fast but I managed to keep up. I so enjoyed it and the teacher was brilliant very friendly, answered the chat questions and demonstrated well. I was so please I recreated tge same image the following day on A5. Will definately do another class sometime. Thank you.

Peggie • Mar 2024

Excellent tutor, very helpful with great tips and really informative. This is the second craft I've done and really enjoyed them both!

Claudia Sherlock • Mar 2024

Very informative and you explained everything and took your time doing so, very helpful.
You had a lovely manner about you. Sorry i didnt communicate over zoom, very shy.
Excellent class and a great gift from my daughter for Mothers Day. Kind regards Jane Bull

I really enjoyed this class and the teacher was great. I learnt lots of tips for sketching out and then painting the kingfisher in acrylics. I’d really recommend the class and only give it a 4* as it feels a bit quick and whilst I appreciate the video recording a lot (thank you!) I wonder if an hour and a half might just help everyone keep up (or maybe I’m just slow at painting!). Thank you!

Karen Copeland • Mar 2024

Chrissie was very patient and explained each step very well. Would definitely do another on line class with this artisan

Lynne • Mar 2024

It was amazing! Highly recommend -thank you so much. I’ve not painted since school so excellent guidance

Jo Allen • Mar 2024

This was the first workshop I have every done and I really enjoyed it. I did feel it was a little rushed at times and was hard to write questions on the chat and keep up all at the same time.
I documented the stages to go in my craft scrapbook and for my first attempted at using resin I was impressed. I do feel the mould is a bit big for a coaster, but I am going drill a hole and create a Suncatcher.
Thank you

Sally Cook • Mar 2024

Had a really enjoyable time doing this class. Great tutor and learnt a lot. It was so much fun and I would recommend it

I wish I'd read through the reviews beforehand to discover all the things that are missing from the information. The only additional materials listed as required are a pencil (we didn't use one) and a ruler (also not necessary). What we didn't find out until after we'd signed into zoom and were waiting for the class to start was that we also needed water, scissors, and newspaper or parchment. All I had to hand at such short notice was an A4 envelope, and this turned out to not be a good choice and my Green Man isn't going to be flat as a result. It would also have been good to know beforehand that the hour and a half is nowhere near enough time to actually do the sculpting, and while I knew the clay would have to dry before it could be painted, I had no idea this particular clay takes nine days to dry. I felt the provided wooden tools were too big and thick to give the precision and detail we needed on a project of this size. I have Fimo tools that I could have looked out if I'd realised.

I found the pace of the class a bit slow, and it's the first time I've done a Hobbycraft Zoom class where I've found myself repeatedly sitting and waiting to find out the next step. Particularly frustrating when the class overran by about 15 minutes and my dinner was ready but I wasn't. I ended up going back to work on the project after my dinner and didn't finish it until 2.30am. I know I could have come back to it another time to work on it, but the edges were already drying and I didn't want to risk not being able to refine them the way I was able to with it still fresh. I found the wood effect clay quite difficult to work with, and getting the moisture content right was one of the main issues - something I suspect would be even harder after a day or two of drying, even with cling film over it.

I did enjoy the lesson though, and receiving a time-stamped start to finish video afterwards is very useful (though again is indicative of how much longer the whole process takes than the hour and a half the class lasts). I might try the wood effect clay again, but with much more preparation in advance, and possibly a more purposeful project for such a tricky clay - I don't see why the wood effect is necessary for this one when it's fully painted in layers of acrylic paint and has no wood texture in the finish.

I'm looking forward to the clay being dry (the week after next) so I can spend another couple of days sanding and painting it. I'm just glad I hadn't planned giving it as a gift with a reasonable time frame such as a week after the class.

Millie explained things very well and was easy to understand. I found the class very helpful showing a more abstract way of painting without a pencil outline. I really enjoyed the class and look forward to trying one of the other classes for watercolours.

Charlotte • Mar 2024

I’m terrible with names so I’ve forgotten the lady’s name, but she was very friendly and informative and encouraging too. I enjoyed the workshop and hope to finish the egg on the next few days.

This was such an enjoyable, therapeutic way to spend an hour. Holly was fab, looking forward to trying out other workshops

Richard Whitehead • Mar 2024

The info pre class was that we needed a pencil and a ruler.

Once the class started, we were told the working surface shouldn't be a tile or plastic covering as the clay sticks. We should have been told this prior to the class.

Also as the class got going we were told we needed a container of water WHY were we not told this beforehand

Other than that the tutor was informative and engaging.

Melanie • Mar 2024

Great class - lots of tips to apply to our own future floral watercolour paintings from a professional painter and great workshop host. Millie's classes are always good. The workshop was well-paced, bringing the different elements of the painting together for us to try out, in order to achieve our own version of the floral subject by the end of the hour's lesson. I have signed-up for more Hobbycraft workshops using the excellent March discount - thank you Hobbycraft!

Lovely tutor and the course was great. I wasn't sure I'd create anything any where near as lovely as the example but I was pleasantly surprised how easily I picked this up. Very happy.

Christine • Mar 2024

This was a useful introduction to pyrography & Gisela was clear in her explanations and gave us a lot of tips for beginners. Possibly an egg wasn't the best thing for beginners to try to decorate, even if it was topical, a flat egg shape would be easier as this is a lot harder to do well than you'd think.

Elizabeth Whitaker • Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed the session (that was my first time with water colour). Would have liked an extra half hour.
Thank you.

Penny Caselberg • Mar 2024

Heather Callick • Mar 2024

Paula led us through the demo at a speed suitable for all and she was very patient and positive.

Really useful workshop, lots of great tips which meant I was able to create something on my first try. Pyrography was harder than I expected but Giselas guidance made it much easier than it would have been otherwise! Thanks for another great workshop.

Sheila Ferguson • Mar 2024

Patricia Ann Irvine • Mar 2024

It was a most interesting class. I would never think of wetting the paper first and drying it out with a tissue. The mixing to get light and shades was first class. There was only one thing that I would have preferred, and that was copying real flowers instead of fantasy ones. I am going to have a go with the daffodils in my garden. Thank you for a good class.

Alison • Mar 2024

This was great to do over three weeks. More satisfying than the usual hour. Excellent tutors. Thanks Emma and Millie. Pleased with my sweet dog!

Joy Moss • Mar 2024

Another great crochet workshop.
Thoroughly enjoyed my time with Chrissie and evn more so as I was the only participant and we had a very chatty time while crocheting! Completed my egg after the session and it was wonderful to learn some more new techniques as you increase and then decrease the rows.
Thank you Chrissie and I look forward to the next range of crochet workshops.

Zena McCalmont • Mar 2024

The hour flew by, young woman who over saw the workshop explained everything very well. She covered the kit and how to use it clearly and why the each item was used. The pieces we created were good because of her explanation in how to achieve a pleasing effect.
I have made 8 pieces of work which I’m happy with. I will definitely continue.

Jane Harbour • Mar 2024

Loved the workshop with Holly but think it was a little rushed as drawing first then fineliner over the top of drawing followed by watercolours over the work so think class needed to be a little longer as the end was rushed slightly. Learned some great techniques and the video recording is good idea but also maybe email the picture before hand which may helpful. I Will be doing more on mixed media as I’m enjoying this type of art

Michelle Garrett • Mar 2024

Enjoyed this sketching class. Easy to follow and learnt some techniques. I ended up with a good picture.

Excellent class. Good explanation and demonstration.
Feeling more confident with the use of water colours and multi media approach

Emma • Mar 2024

This was the best hobbycraft class i have ever taken. CHRISSIE was fantastic. I have never felt so relaxed in an online group. Noone was afraid of asking questions. Everything was clear and well ran. Fantastic asset to your company. Will book more crochet courses for sure.

It was a good class, I enjoyed working with the media. My criticism would be it wasn’t long enough to absorb everything. Holly did a good job in the time given. But it did feel rushed

Flora • Mar 2024

Really clear, very helpful explanation of how to read the pattern. Also good to see how stitches combine to make different shapes

Charlotte Miles • Mar 2024

Chrissie was lovely, very patient and explained everything really well. Can't wait for my next crochet class.

Celia Hill • Mar 2024

Very enjoyable session, never really been able to sketch anything that you could recognise. Would definitely be having another go. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Vikki • Mar 2024

A great wee class that really helped me improve my sketching, blending and highlighting skills. Also very useful to be able to ask questions, like how to refresh a blending stump. Definitely a lot of useful skills learned or improved, and I understand things a bit better.

My daughter (11) and I did it together. It was really great to try out water colours and we will definitely be back for more.

Jaimie McBroom • Mar 2024

All explained really clearly. Alot covered in a short time and the pace wasn't too fast

Lucy Abbott • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed learning how to add texture to the flowers n leaves. But painting over the already outlined petals and leaves discolours the paint. Or mine did.

Excellent advice and guidance again from Nerissa. Would definitely recommend this course of seminars to anyone starting a business, or currently looking to grow and expand theirs.

The amount of information is outstanding, and I’m so thankful for all of the data provided. So useful having everything available to review afterwards also.

Thank you Nerissa and Hobbycraft.

Fiona Rose • Mar 2024

An hour was not long enough for this class, especially as a total beginner.
A simpler design would work better as cutting out the detail for the bluebells took up a lot of time.
I was not able to keep up and had not finished by the end.
I’m pleased a pre-recorded video has been made available which can be followed at a sensible pace

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Chrissie was clearly and friendly. This went at a bit faster pace in order to get the egg finished within the hour and a half. That's fine for those who knew the stitches but I did feel for the beginners who would have taken longer. Saying that, we all have the recorded session to refer back to at any time which is a great help.

Kim Jeffery • Mar 2024

Well structured, packed with really useful information and advice. Nerri obviously knew her stuff and kept up a lively dialogue throughout, offering lots of well targeted tips and info, as well as taking and answering questions with enthusiasm and sound advice. I’ll be booking another course I’m sure! Thank you

Hannah Reddy • Mar 2024

Workshop was easy to follow and the slow drying properties of the clay meant there wasn't a rush to get it finished. I completed the design afterwards though I've yet to paint it.

Hannah Reddy • Mar 2024

27 ClassBento workshops attended • 17 reviews

The tutor's explanation of how to draw out your template and how to create the pattern was good. My issue was with the materials. The paint pens provided had a tendency to drip and you couldn't be precise with your marks which made the final pattern messy. I'd much rather stick with the usual method of tools that you dip into paint and then mark your paper.

Hannah Reddy • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed this workshop. Millie carefully took us through all the safety info first. She then showed us various techniques and we were free to make up our own designs.

Marie Jahn • Mar 2024

Very professional, fun, 6 week (every Mon eve) workshop covering a lot of different techniques/projects using design space on the Cricut machines. The Cricut machine can be a bit overwhelming, but doing this course and projects together (on zoom) has now made me want to do a lit more projects The teachers were very good snd knowledgeable and explained things well, and the Kit box I received before the course was fantastic, full of Cricut goodies. I really enjoyed, thank you for offering this course.

Susana de Gregorio • Mar 2024

The teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable. She makes the session easy to follow and fun.

Karen Hutchings • Mar 2024

A lovely end to my working day with some me time on this lovely course with Holly. Lots of techniques learnt with two mediums, watercolour and fine liners used together to complement each other.

Lindsey Badger • Mar 2024

Well worth the money

Good kit
Thoroughly recommend it
Easy to join meeting

Clare • Mar 2024

We really enjoyed the wreath workshop. Irene was friendly and knowledgeable and delivered a great tutorial for how to create our Spring wreaths. We are both pleased with how the finished wreaths look too!

Kelly • Mar 2024

Holly was great from the get go. She not only showed us how to create the piece but gave more general watercolour tips to help when experimenting with other projects. Top class artisan.

Nathaniel Tuddenham • Mar 2024

Felt there was too much explaining about paint colours and techniques which took 20 minutes of the hour we had before we could begin painting. Even when we started there were lots of interruptions for explanations so didn’t get enough time to paint and ended up just doing our own thing.

Louise • Mar 2024

Instructor very knowledgeable; loads of info conveyed within the hour, with lots of helpful hints and tips

Leanne • Mar 2024

What a fab little workshop to create a crochet sunflower bag. Artisan Kathryn explained everything very clearly and slowly so it was easy to follow. Learnt new stitches for the sunflowers and looking forward to sewing up my new bag.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

2 ClassBento workshops attended

Brilliant classes with Kathryn. She made it easy to understand and went through different ideas we could do. Would highly recommend both the bag and Kathryn

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

I have learnt some useful things and gained confidence. However, I felt disadvantaged by not have cricut access and the app on a desktop.
It's super fiddly, especially for the cut out card and cake topper to align everything together and get a good overlap. The app just doesn't work for that detail.
Also, the fonts that are standard do not provide enough to do these projects either. They are fine and dainty. There's literally one stencil option, which is OK it just isn't as good.

Clare Rose • Mar 2024

A good fun workshop. The kit was good quality with enough materials to make at least four bracelets and probably much more. One bracelet was demonstrated, followed up with two videos sent via email with instructions for that and three other design of bracelets. Learned one basic “knot” and a bit of terminology and finishing technique. Nice way to spend an hour on a rainy weekend, will definitely have a go at making some additional bracelets in the other designs.

Leigh Baylis • Mar 2024

Irene was an amazing teacher and the workshop and kit was absolutely fantastic and would definitely recommend

Amanda • Mar 2024

Really well presented, everything we needed to know how to do was done in the time given. I enjoyed making the frame, having never worked with air dried clay before. I've loads left for another project. (although an hour later I was still making flowers).

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Wonderful teacher. Very clear instructions. Perfect materials that made a beautiful wreath we have proudly displayed in the hall for all to see and admire.

Lauren Walker • Mar 2024

Purchased as a Mother’s Day gift for Mum who recently treated herself to a cricut machine. She absolutely loved every minute of the workshop and has been trying out all the new tricks she learned since! Would definitely consider booking again for Mum to learn more tips and tricks!

Stacey • Mar 2024

Great class and Joey was so knowledgeable she knew how to help me with all my Cricut questions and showed me how to do these. Well worth the money. Thank you Joey

Liz Dovey • Mar 2024

Loved it! Such good fun! Can’t wait to do another workshop! Thank you so much!

Diane • Mar 2024

This is a great workshop, crocheting a carrot to go with a chick and rabbit for Easter Bunting. The explanation of how to do stitches was very clear and although I ended up with a lob-sided carrot I know where i went wrong (and not all carrots are a perfect shape anyway) and I'm sure that those I make in the future will be symmetrical It was a really delightful hour.

Fiona Meryl Dunford • Mar 2024

Very friendly teacher and well described and demonstrated methods to produce the different leaves and flowers. I enjoyed the course and would be interested in further courses.

Suzanne Jeffery • Mar 2024

Enjoyed workshop, kit supplied had everything needed to start Quilling. Chrissie was good at explaining the technique, answering any questions as we were going along. I feel confident now to practise myself and try out some other designs.

John Tyson • Mar 2024

The online course was very good. The artisian was very clear and patient and explaining things very well. Could of been slightly longer though. Enjoyed it, would do it again.

Deirdre Dowd • Mar 2024

Fantastic course.
As a beginner, Chrissie made me feel welcome & talked me patiently through the crochet process.
Im amazed that I managed to make a beautiful Egg.
Many thanks ????

Rosemary Ann Taylor • Mar 2024

Clear, organised and to time. Cassie was experienced, friendly and professional. A very good class.

Fiona Todd • Mar 2024

Mollie was so clear in her explanations and so very talented that one could not help but be inspired!

Mairi • Mar 2024

Enjoyable class - Chrissie was very patient with us and the time just whizzed by. I didn't end up with a square as my chain was too tight so I got a rainbow! Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon

Elizabeth Gibbs • Mar 2024

Irene was a great tutor. She explained everything clearly. It was the first time I had used foam clay and my first Hobbycraft workshop. I need to make a few more flowers and wait for them to dry before putting my project together. I can't wait to use the foam clay with the younger members if my family.

Sarah Firth • Mar 2024

Millie delivered a fantastic workshop. She went through different techniques and made sure she explained what she was doing along the process. The pace was just right and Millie often check to see if anyone had any question's. Definitely will be booking another workshop.

Joy Sherriff • Mar 2024

Very good and well explained. Only issue I missed that I needed some sticky tape which meant I found it difficult until I could get some

Joanne Pridham • Mar 2024

Fun to do. Would like to be shown some other simple shapes that could be made.

Helen Escayg • Mar 2024

Great online class that catered for each of our knowledge and skill. Kathryn our tutor was really helpful and would check in with each of us to ensure she was not going to fast. Time went so quickly but everyone enjoyed themselves. I will definitely be joining another course.

Alison Savage • Mar 2024

I’m so unartistic but managed to do a wreath which is pretty good The instructor was so helpful and supportive. Really easy to follow and I really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend and the box contained more than enough material to complete. I had ordered extra dried flowers after reading a review that said they needed more but I didn’t need it.
A great session, well led and easy to follow.

Jenni Palmer • Mar 2024

Really good workshop. Needed to restart my knitting several times and Holly was really patient and showed us how to redo it over and over again. Would definitely reccomend

Angela • Mar 2024

Chrissie explains everything in detail making it easier to follow what I needed to do

Viivienne Caley • Mar 2024

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Good workshop guiding me to create a dried flower wreath. Simple instructions, easy to follow, good result.

Yvonne Maunders • Mar 2024

Christie really taught me how to crochet I was a complete novice and feel I can now make a scarf

Carole McNairney • Mar 2024

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

The instructor was very clear. I wish there's a recording accessible to those attending. The instructor said there's no rush but it's difficult to spend the time I really wanted on the wreath with her having to finish the workshop in one hour. If there is a recording, I know I could just listen to her and take time on the wreath on my own later on.

Gillian McCallum • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed this, quickest hour of the weekend! Would recommend for others interested in crafting of any ability.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

The class was too fast paced for me to crochet along and things were not demonstrated enough times so I got lost very early on and I didn’t feel like I could ask for things to be re-shown as it was a busy class and the host was really chatty however the video that was sent after was excellent and with the ability to rewatch and pause it, I have successfully created a bunny using the chunky wool provided in the beginners crochet class. Will get some thinner wool, felt and a smaller hook now I know what to do and will give it another go! Really good value class for £4 including the video, thank you.

Liz Middleton • Mar 2024

The tutor was clear with demonstrations and instructions and also added useful strategies in case paints bled, bubbled or were difficult to use nozzle alone.
Extra materials and wider use of painting with these acrylics were helpfully included. Thank you.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Kathryn was a brilliant tutor. The class was small and Kathryn spent time with each of us to ensure we fully grasped the pattern. I thoroughly recommend this workshop and Kathryn as a tutor.

Donna Stone • Mar 2024

I found I struggled between trying to watch the artisan and completing the tasks so I gave up. Looking forward to receiving the videos so that I can try again at my own pace. The materials provided are very good.

Julie Green • Mar 2024

You need to be speedy to go at the pace of the excellent artisan. Best to trace the photo onto your pad before starting if possible.
More advanced than other water colour classes I have done with Hobbycraft but rewarding and I’m pleased with what I did.

I'm really impressed with the image I was able to paint, it's definitely going to help me a lot

Thank you.

Laura Stronge • Mar 2024

Amazing! I wish I’d done this course sooner! Rachel’s friendly disposition instantly put me at ease and gave me the confidence to ask questions. Rachel went through every button on design space and how you can use them to meet your Cricut needs. I can’t believe how much I learned in an hour. Thank you so much for another wonderful workshop.

So clearly explained. Thank you. Enjoyed seeing how easy it was to create a wide range of patterns. I can see me having fun producing lots of wall art with this method.

Rona Nussey • Mar 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed Kathryn's Easter Chick workshop.
She explained everything very clearly and moved along at just the right pace.
It was good to get to the end and add the features in felt.
It was helpful that Kathryn showed us how we could enlarge the chick and we could see the difference between the original and the larger one.
Making the cord for the bunting and how to attach the chicks was also very helpful.
Camera angles were very good. Thank you for sending the pattern in advance.

Christine Gainsborough • Mar 2024

I've had the three Easter bunting classes (carrot, bunny and chick) with Kathryn and she is an excellent tutor. Very clear instructions and nothing is rushed.

It was a great practical lesson, with all equipment sent a couple of days before and further instructions for a few other small essentials needed. The instructor went through all the safety precautions at the start. The hour went very quickly as it was such an enjoyable process.

Kirti • Mar 2024

I rally enjoyed the class but felt it was too short, maybe extra 30 mins or so would have been great.

She was very thorough and informative.

Diane Allen • Mar 2024

Really useful session. Helpful tips as well as the reminder of the basics I needed having not used a sewing pattern since school in the 70s (when I hated needlework!)
Having recently reintroduced myself to a sewing machine I now feel ready to move on from drawstring bags/tote bags/cushion covers to attempting a garment from a pattern.
Many thanks Chrissie

Lynne Long • Mar 2024

I have never sketched before, so was looking forward to joining the workshop. I had my own pad and pencils to keep the cost down. However I needed a wider range of pencils and a narrow rubber.
The tutor did well in the allotted time which went far too fast. I learnt a lot and having the tutorial on line will be useful for my next attempt.
Recommended.

Really enjoyable session. Irene led the workshop really well. It is a fairly fast paced session and Irene was happy to keep going at the end the allotted hour so that we could all complete our masterpiece. In reality, the workshop could do with being scheduled for 90 mins. Nevertheless, this was not an inconvenience to me and the time flew by. Thanks Irene for the support and guidance you provided throughout.

Sandra Costa • Mar 2024

I am astonished with such an approachable technique of drawing. It is achievable and easy to learn.

Alison Burton • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed the course - lots of interesting tips and very pleased with the results. Another thoroughly enjoyable hour - thank you very much.

Sandra Costa • Mar 2024

It seems easy to achieve. Thank you for such a great presentation on how to sketch a mouth.

Heather • Mar 2024

Rachel was a lovely tutor and very clear in her instructions and insight into quilling. She gave great feedback and advice how to continue the project after the class. The pre-recording of the complete project provided was also good.

Deborah • Mar 2024

A very informative class that simplifies the reading of patterns. Relaxed and informal. A most enjoyable hour.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

Really interesting class and I learnt a lot about the different things to look for on my pattern. I would suggest that price wise, this is not comparable to some of the other classes (eg some are £5 with no kit compared to £10 with no kit for this class)

Norma Watkins • Mar 2024

Lovely workshop. Enjoyed the session, everything was explained, very well. I would definitely recommend doing this class.

Very informative and lovely with it
Thank you. I'm really looking forward to my next course with you on cricut

Dominique Thompson • Mar 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, the teacher was really engaging and we could work at our own pace. There were ideas to follow but it was cear that we could definitely do our own thing. The kit had more than enough material to complete the project.

Lisa Pickering • Mar 2024

Irene was great, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you. Probably will do more resin projects in the future!

Michelle Shea • Mar 2024

Chrissie spoke very clearly and slowly so that you could absorb the information covering off all areas of a sewing pattern. Great session thank you.

Sue Blee • Mar 2024

Excellent instructions, clearly given. Good pace. Freedom for individuality. Varied selection of dried foliage. Great delivery of all materials.

Valerie Stimpson • Mar 2024

Really good, clear painting demonstration. Learnt such a lot about layering the paint in order to increase shading.
Feel so inspired to carry on with my watercolour.

Bev Marshall • Mar 2024

Good pace and knowledge by tutor. Great hour to learn a new craft. Good value

Jenny Fletcher • Mar 2024

Great teacher - very well prepared and gave options for 2 different designs.
Would thoroughly recommend!

Diane McCully • Mar 2024

I took part in the macrame jewellery making class online via zoom. The teacher was very good, she didn't go too fast and if I missed something it was no problem going over it until I got it. The camera was placed in a great spot and I could see everything. I would recommend this class. The items needed came in the post in plenty of time.

Helen • Mar 2024

Excellent pace, explained a number of styles and I feel confident enough to go ahead and do more by myself.

Laura Steer • Mar 2024

Really lovely host who was friendly, clear in her instructions and only too happy to make sure everyone was making progress. Class was well spaced out on timing - didn’t make the finished article during the 1hr (it would have taken much longer!) but we were shown all components to complete the project in our own time. I really enjoyed it :)

Deborah Sage • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed the class, Millie was a very good teacher. The session helped to restore my confidence in sketching.

Helen Garlan • Mar 2024

I enjoyed this class despite having sound issues on iPad, so used iPhone for sound, only missed a couple of mins at beginning of class. My phone then died and I missed how to do the biggest stitch at top of chick, so now I have recording, I can have another go and make lots of chicks. I am doing the rabbit workshop on Tuesday - so hopefully things will be easier for me. I am doing these workshops while away in Kent so not as organised as I would be at home. Thank you Chrissie for your patience and clear instructions

It was a great workshop and the teaching was very clear. I learnt how to do a magic circle which I've struggled with before. We were also told how to make our crotchet bigger or smaller while using the same pattern which was very helpful. It went at a good speed for me, enabling me to take it out where I'd gone wrong.
A real fun chick for Easter - I look forward to the rabbit and carrot
Thank you.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

It was a good class and the finished chick was really cute. The crochet techniques were quite advanced so mine wasn’t as good as the teacher’s. More practice is needed.

Catherine Burrell • Mar 2024

Very Good but a someone new to crochet would have found it difficult as the initial basics of holding wool and making starting circle were not covered also the difference in stitches could have been demonstrated more clearly having a basic knowledge I still struggled and ended up with two many stitches so a beginner would have struggled I think
But I enjoyed it and was quite please with my result even if it was a little misshapen

Nicola Chatham • Mar 2024

Really enjoyed this class. Very easy to follow. Presenter was very clear and helpful. Thank you.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Mar 2024

A lovely class, completing a chick to go along with our bunnies made last week. Clear instructions and Chrissie was very chatty and helpful. Thank you.

Sarah Street • Mar 2024

This is my 3rd crochet course, the bunny, the carrot and now the chick and I've really enjoyed all 3. It's great that you get a video so it's easy to practice and to sort out any issues.

Tracey Buddell • Mar 2024

Little bit too long on the intro. Perhaps demonstrate when chatting eg whilst winding paper mention about paper thickness.
Really enjoyed it though and has helped with knowing what the board is for and ball end of stick

Josie • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed this workshop, it was a great refresher on quilling for me, but would also be suitable for complete beginners. Rachel was a really helpful teacher, she showed us a variety of techniques and also shared some helpful tips that she uses.

Anne Frances Newton • Mar 2024

tutor was great workshop worth doing looking forward to completing the project a must do workshop if offered

Jenni Dewar • Mar 2024

I don't know if this is a bog ask or not, as only just started using machine but maybe could have done some of it along side the instructor

Anita Cushing • Mar 2024

Thanks Chrissy for a fab class. Fun & informative. I have stuck clear of labels and sticker card stock as I didn't have a clue what to do with it. Now I do, and I cannot wait to get started.

Lindsay Gray • Mar 2024

Good tutor, able to keep track of everyone and answer questions as she went, kept up with her and finished the bracelet

Helen • Mar 2024

Good pace of teaching crochet - I just need to practice the techniques and stitches etc

Donna Stone • Mar 2024

Loved this workshop and really pleased with my Easter wreath. I added a bit of curly moss that I had from a previous project and a couple of rabbits and a sheep to add a fun element. Will be proud to hang this on my front door at Easter.

Chrissie was friendly and showed me the ways I can use my Cricut Joy. Chrissie answered all my questions and said that I can email her if I have any questions in the future

Laura Stronge • Mar 2024

A thoroughly enjoyable hour. Gisela was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and encouraging; everything you could possibly want from a teacher. She demonstrated lots of ways to decorate your mirror and the hour flew. I loved this activity so much that I didn’t move from my seat until I’d filled every possible place. The kit is great as well and I was shocked to see the amount of foam clay provided. I would definitely recommend this course. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anthi Fanioudaki • Mar 2024

the seminar was absolutely great! they had sent me the kit which included everything! it also included a guide with the pattern! I wasn't able to follow a pattern before as I was lost in all letters and numbers but the tutor put everything together Now I am not afraid following patterns the tutor was also open to questions and give you the answers!

Christine Laverock • Mar 2024

Jasmine Venables • Mar 2024

Me and my sister did the Easter pyrography course and it was fantastic. Millie the instructor was lovely. It’s fantastic value for money as well. We were both very impressed with the amount of supplies we received as well as the instruction given. We will 100% be doing more of these workshops. Great fun

Ruth Mitchell • Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this class. You are talked through it step by step at a pace you can keep up with. I would recommend this class to everyone

Very enjoyable session with useful information about sketching pencils and erasers. I have done several classes, both drawing and watercolour, and have found them all good and have helped me improve my very basic skills and knowledge. I started drawing in June after I retired not having done any since i was about 13.

Herjit Sandhu • Mar 2024

Love all the courses on Hobbycraft.
Millie's instructions were so clear and easy to follow. Excellent teacher. Can't wait to try out more courses.

Great class. I loved this class, an amazing experience for people interested in art. Very clear instructions with a great teacher. Another thing was you don't need all the kit which is helpful too. The only thing was that you only do one side in shading the butterfly so you have to catch up if you wanted to do the whole thing. Overall though, great class. I would really recommend. Thank you Millie!

Georgina • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed this course. It was the right level for me (no experience) and it was brilliant that I could have a recording to play again if I wanted to try to improve on my first attempt. Lovely and relaxed - no pressure. I’ve never painted and not good at drawing either but I was surprised and pleased my attempt looked vaguely like a bird.

Chrissie is a great coach/trainer for this Cricut course. I highly recommend the Hobbycraft Cricut courses, and especially when Chrissie is leading the session!

Clare Rose • Mar 2024

The workshop was very well hosted, the presenter extremely engaging. Let down by the quality of the kit. The wreath itself was absolutely fine, but the dried flowers were worse than pot pourri. Instead I went to a shop and purchased flower picks which I took apart and used.

Anne Frances Newton • Mar 2024

really good workshop plenty of good tips and tricks for sketching a workshop worth doing

Angela Arnedo • Mar 2024

Emma was a fab instructor, very calm and made the class feel well paced and enjoyable.

I love that I have found a calming craft that I can do really easily without having to take out loads of kits or need lots of room.

Lynda Broad • Mar 2024

What a brilliant class for the absolute beginner to learn to crochet. Kathryn went over the types of wool to use, the options on how to hold your hook and some stitches to get you started. Also time during the session to have a bit of a practice and ask questions if you should get stuck.

Deepa S • Mar 2024

I had a wonderful time doing the acrylic paint pouring class with Rugilee, she explained nicely, step by step. Very therapeutic as well. Thank you.

Tunde • Mar 2024

The tutorial was broken down in to easy to follow steps and the instructor made sure everyone was comfortable with the pace she also provided enough information and support to enable learners to move forward if you were picking up the stitches quicker than others at the same time as helping people who needed another run through of the stitch. Excellent course for beginners!

Natalie • Mar 2024

Her passion for crafting and teaching was wonderful to witness and I’m thoroughly inspired to make a lot more carrots. I have also booked onto the bunny and chick course and which I am even more excited to do now. Thank you for a wonderful evening and I can’t wait to make the rest of the bunting

Really enjoyable class having never done an art workshop before. Rugile was really encouraging and helpful. The only drawback was time. Rugile did a great job keeping to time in order to ensure we completed the piece but would have preferred a slightly slower pace but still enough time to complete the piece.

Jacky Gillies • Mar 2024

It felt very rushed.
Most of the time spent sketching & outlining with little time left to listen/watch painting techniques.
Disappointed that some areas of fineliner ink bleed into my paint.

Suzanne Jeffery • Mar 2024

I enjoyed the bunny sketching session, Millie is very good at explaining the techniques required. This is a good workshop to do along with the pet portrait one.

Sandra Gardner • Mar 2024

Excellent work shop. Gisela clearly explained everything step by step how to make the frame, as well as the bluebell flowers together with the stems and leaves. Very enjoyable. Having the recording means that I can finish off the first design and then work on the Easter chick and daffodil design at my own pace. Would thoroughly recommend especially if you enjoy paper crafting

Charlotte Miles • Mar 2024

Hannah was brilliant, very patient and gave very clear instructions.
Can't wait to join her again for the chick and the carrot.

Hayley Mason • Mar 2024

The guide went slowly enough so you could follow along and was happy to show things again if you didn’t quite get it. I learnt the 3 main types of stitch so a very useful tutorial!
I’m excited to learn more about Crochet!

Michelle Woods • Mar 2024

I really enjoyed the spring wreath lesson and it looks lovely on my front door. I just wish these online lessons were 1 hour and 30 minutes long.

Hannah was a very patient and clear instructor and the bunnies are very cute! We did go over our time but Hannah continued to go over any issues that people had until we finished.

Rona • Mar 2024

Hannah was great, working with 14 of us! She was patient and kind, repeating the magic circle many times and other parts of the pattern until everyone got it. However she did overrun by 45 minutes, because of the sections when people needed help. Understandably some people had to leave and missed the tricky ears.
The recording and pattern received immediately after the event.are much appreciated
It was very enjoyable and I am looking forward to the carrot and chick workshops!

Another fun workshop tonight. Thanks to Hannah for her patience with all of us beginners. Really appreciate having the video afterwards to practice along with. Cute little Easter rabbit idea.

Brenda Jean Fullylove • Mar 2024

Well presented and easy to follow. Not sure why we were sent the pack of card as this wasn't used at all. Thank you Brenda

Anya Poulter • Mar 2024

Very enjoyable! Great pattern and easy to follow pattern. Always love hearing the Artsian’s ideas on how to develop the pattern etc No better way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Gisela was a great host. I've never tried quilling before but found it easy to follow her instructions. She answered all questions and offered plenty of tips and tricks. The class would be better timed for 1.5 hours but Gisela went 20 minutes over time instead of rushing us or leaving the project half done which was appreciated. She is also sending a video for us.

Abbie • Mar 2024

Gisela was a brilliant teacher - I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and really appreciated how Gisela walked us through all of the steps of one piece and how to translate the techniques to complete the second piece after the session (with video recording to come too). Gisela answered lots of questions and clearly has a passion for quilling - I’m hooked now too! Thank you! I’d definitely recommend this workshop.

Kate McClenaghan • Mar 2024

1st zoom workshop and it's was great, my daughter and I had many disagreement as to where items were ti be placed but it didn't matter - we had fun in the comfort of our own home. Outside may have been wet and miserable but inside was full of laughs and warmth - thank you just one question, what do we book next

Gini Wilcox • Mar 2024

Dr Suzzette Naylor • Mar 2024

Very easy to understand, and the Artisan went through all the safety notices you may need, to avoid any accidents. And showed how easy it was to put your own style into your work. And I can't draw stickmen. I love to craft but definitely no drawing.

I really enjoyed my first ever Zoom session by joining this drawing class. Thank you.

Fiona Fiona Fraser-Brenchley • Mar 2024

Good pattern but as a beginner with crochet an instore session would have been more useful to let tutor see where I was going wrong. Good value for money and am looking forward to rabbit one.

Liz Church • Mar 2024

Great class and Yarn and Hook good quality and arrived in plenty of time. Very clear and enthusiastic leader of the session (Hollie). Very patient and happy to go back over instructions. Thank you. Great that we get access to video if class too.

Lesley Furse • Mar 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and honestly the hour flew by. Being the only participant I had a 1 to 1 with Chrissie who put me at ease. She demonstrated how to use the pens with lots of tips and advice on creating different letters and how to join them up as a left hander. The kit I received was good quality and love the pen set. Now all I have to do is practise practise practice!

Sandra Warne • Mar 2024

Great session hosted by Emma. Quite a lot to be achieved in an hour but Emma maintained a good pace and I never felt rushed nor did I feel as though I fell behind. Session overran by a few minutes which I saw as a positive as Emma was keen to ensure that everything was covered. Highly recommended.

Tom • Mar 2024

A lovely session that went far too quickly.
Christie was very good but at times was a little too quick for us, especially as we were all novices and new to crocheting.
Looking forward to receiving the video so we can go through it at our own pace.

I spent a lovely hour being taught how to create the watercolour bunny by Holly. Her instructions were clear and I was able to work at my own pace, knowing that I could ask for help at any time. As a complete beginner, I didn't feel any pressure with regard to what I produced, but was able to thoroughly enjoy the experience for what it was. I would highly recommend this course and will definitely attend others in the future. Thank you Holly.

Rebecca McGrath • Feb 2024

Lovely workshop, covered the basics and how to use different points of Pyrography tool for different lines and shading/filling in. The wooden tags are a good inclusion for test pieces and the video available after means you can focus on crafting rather than taking notes.

Thank you for a great class Kathryn. Always appreciate the tips and advice you give. This workshop was a little too advanced for me, as I’m still learning, but I was able to follow the recording afterwards and worked along with that at a slower pace, so I’m very thankful for that. Looking forward to joining more crochet workshops with you. Thanks again for your patience and help.

Joy I • Feb 2024

This was a very enjoyable class with easy to follow steps. I liked using the fineliner to make the details stand out. It would be lovely to have 15 minutes extra so as to allow more time to relax and paint the flowers as it felt a bit rushed trying to fit everything into the hour. However, a recording is provided in case you find it hard to keep up. A lovely class overall and a lovely tutor. Thanks, Hobbycraft :)

Kathleen • Feb 2024

Kathryn went very slowly through the magic ring start, which I found useful, mine never went like that.

And using the row marker was always Greek to me, but I think I have it now that Kathryn again went very slowly through when and where to put the marker.

So all in all, I wizzed along, till cramp set in my thumb (it happens) and I had to give up. But the recording sent afterwards will be a great help to me changing colours, which I didn't get to.

Would suggest doing beginners crochet course first, because this class assumes you know basic stitches.

Clear instructions, really friendly. Good pace and tips of how to make it realistic. Pencil guidance was good and explained well. Well worth the money as next time I’ll have all the equipment.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Feb 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop, the artisan was clear and concise in explaining each stage. Having some dexterity problems, age and arthritis; I found it easier to 'serrate' the tips of the bluebells with pinking shears than snipping triangles, if you possess pinking shears that is.

Vicky Morrison • Feb 2024

The class was so good. I’m a complete beginner with Macrame but I was able to make a bracelet in the time. Gisela was really clear and happy to repeat the steps as many times as we needed.

Gillian Everett • Feb 2024

Found the carrot a little bit trickier than the rabbit but got there in the end! Helpful and patient instructor. Very enjoyable.

Chrissie was great. She talked me through the processes clearly and slowly. I felt like not only did I learn what I came for… I learnt a whole lot more. There is a lot more to explore now and now I have many ideas to test. Money well spent and a shopping list as long as my arm thanks very much.

Wendy • Feb 2024

My favourite workshop so far! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of these two workshops. I’m a total beginner at crocheting and although that made some of the stages challenging at times, that wasn’t an issue at all as Chrissie our Artisan Coach was absolutely awesome She was more than happy to slow down/breakdown the stages of the stitches and if I was still struggling she’d gladly just go over it again! Sometimes I feel too anxious to ask for help, especially in group settings but Chrissie was so friendly and approachable that I felt fine asking for help and really enjoyed myself.
I will be recommending this workshop to all my friends and I’ll be signing up to the Easter crocheting workshops soon too!

Lucy Blinco • Feb 2024

Kathryn was really good and clear during the workshop. I did not realise I needed some sort of experience for this beginners course so I did struggle to understand due to not having the basics sorted first but Kathryn was very kind and broke it all down for me. Thank you for a lovely morning.

Excellent class. I bought it for my granddaughter who really enjoyed it. She has now completed the nose, eyes and lips classes.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Feb 2024

I have done classes in store before so I was basing my expectations on this. The online class isn’t for me as I felt it wasn’t interactive at all and whilst the lady seemed knowledgeable, I felt that I could have got the same from a you tube video as it was more of a presentation than a lesson. Based on this class, I don’t think I would do online classes again, which is a shame as I liked the idea of doing them on the evenings.

Hattie • Feb 2024

Really enjoyed this class, it was at a good pace for absolute beginners and everyone had the chance to check in and say whether we were picking it up or if we needed more time or have any questions answered. The instructor Kathryn was really good at explaining techniques clearly. Well worth it and I was really happy with everything I learnt in just one session.

Hannah was a really patient teacher who was very happy to repeat any aspect of the crochet as asked so that we all knew what we were doing. It was wonderful to complete a little bunny and learn new techniques and stitches while making it.

The tutor was pleasant and clear in explanations and when demonstrating techniques. It is good to have a copy of the recording as it was difficult to keep up with doing your own picture during the session. I am looking forward to practising more in my own time and at my own pace.

Erica Lloyd • Feb 2024

Brilliant class! Tutor was very clear with instructions and guidance. Would love more classes like this especially with this Tutor

This was a very good class. Lovely tutor and well-paced which was a good challenge (though some might find it a bit too fast-paced). The tutor was very encouraging and reminded us that we could always continuing refining and working on our drawing afterwards, so there was no pressure to 'finish' in a short session. I enjoyed the session - thank you.

Jennifer • Feb 2024

Excellent teacher, really clear, patient. Great pattern with lots of different techniques in a small pattern

Emma McGinn • Feb 2024

Hannah was great as was this class. Even though I’ve crocheted before, Hannah took us all on a ‘crochet ‘journey’ explaining everything from start to finish. I picked up so many tips I’ve never been tought before. She was patient, didn’t mind repeating steps and made sure everyone was following along at their pace. Highly recommend this course and totally recommend Hannah

Frances Punch • Feb 2024

One question
Is an hour sufficient time. I found it difficult to keep up. I’m old and slow Thoroughly enjoyed the lesson. Thank you

Jennifer Wick • Feb 2024

Hannah was amazing and a great help to people who were having problems. I would have liked to have a copy of the pattern in the pack as I was waiting around a lot having finished the previous step and I maybe could have tried some of the other ear patterns.

Great teacher. Great results. Excellent class. This class was great, really relaxing and fun to do. The teacher was lovely, showing us different techniques and ways to use fine-liners and water colours. The end product is great, really eye catching and a good thing to remember and use for later dates. You don't need everything and you don't need to get the kit which helps a lot. The class was really nice but the only thing is at some times its a bit faster so you need to speed up a bit. Overall this class was great. I really recommend it for all people wanting to try mixed media flowers or want an arty future or later career. Thank you Gisela!

Amy • Feb 2024

Teacher was very good at explaining each step and often went over a few times to make sure we all understood and got pointers when we got stuck. Highly recommend!

I thought the course was great and met all of my expectations. The course leader Nerrisa was clearly knowledgeable, kind, patient, enthusiastic and clearly understood our needs as an audience. Her seminar was well presented with good pace whilst answering questions from her audience throughout. I would highly recommend to others and look forward to attending more workshops in the future. Thanks again.

Wow. Thank you Hobbycraft for this excellent seminar. The content was amazing. So very helpful and informative. Nerissa guided the conversation with professionalism and care. She was such an encouraging and supportive speaker and made myself and probably everyone else feel at ease, giving us the opportunity to ask questions during the session.
Her business acumen clearly shows and I’m grateful for the insight and advice she shared. I’m excited for the further scheduled meetings and I’m so glad I signed up for this.

Rachael Jones • Feb 2024

It was a really well run course. Irene’s instructions were clear and easy to follow. It was a thoroughly absorbing and engaging session. I loom forward to finishing it and painting the finished product. It was also useful to have the video to look back on.

Dani Fenton • Feb 2024

Hannah was clear to understand and I enjoyed the experience. Will put into practice what she’s taper me this evening!

Jenny Haines • Feb 2024

Wonderful workshop!
Although I have no artistic skills whatsoever, I spent a very enjoyable hour learning the techniques and how to use the different bits of material that come in the hobbycraft art kit. I definitely recommend although as Im not at all artistic my rabbit sketch turned out looking like a donkey. But Emma has sent further material so now that Im motivated I will try practising more and here's hoping I can soon do another hobbycraft workshop. It's very handy being able to do it from the comfort of my own home. Thank you very much Emma for sharing your time and talent with us.

Jade Rocher • Feb 2024

Great! Learned loads, first time shading and drawing a decent thing and really enjoyed it! Great explaining too from Emma. Thank you

Natalie Stone • Feb 2024

I can’t think of anything you can do to improve absolutely brilliant course I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you have any other courses to do with dogs please do let me know. The teachers we had were enthusiastic, friendly willing to share loads of tips, answered questions and made the course really exciting. I absolutely loved every minute and so pleased with how my drawing turned out. Thank you so much.

Elaine Moffatt • Feb 2024

This was a fantastic class. Chrissie was so patient and informative. This was also my first class with hobbycraft and I will most definitely be attending more.

Highly recommend

Dilrukshi Abeysekara • Feb 2024

I would like to thank Chrissie for her lovey crochet session, found very useful. Picked lots of crochet tips, where I make mistakes while doing my projects. Thanks again, would like to learn more about crocheting.

Lisa Spencer • Feb 2024

The class was great, easy to follow and Irene was very clear. The equipment came in good time and I think its really good value for money. My only slight negative was that due to not being able to finish the project in the time slot it might have been better to state this in the ad and hold in the morning, as by the time the class finished, natural daylight had gone and I had comittments rest of the weekend so not sure when I'll get time to finish. That said I have the video recording and will go back to it when I have time.

Becky • Feb 2024

I did this with my 9 year old daughter, we really enjoyed it! It was a little fast paced in places, but I understand it is a tight time scale. Getting the video afterwards was really helpful too as we could do it again and pause it in places. Really enjoyed it and will be booking other workshops.

Was glad to have taken this wee refresher course. Made a few things click into place with the stitches for me. Thanks Chrissie.
To complete beginners, keep practicing, it will eventually make sense, as Chrissie said, maybe concentrate on getting one stitch right first, as it is not something you can perfect in an hour or two. All the best, have fun.

Michele Sadler • Feb 2024

One to one workshop with Chrissy to show me how to insert an invisible zip. Very helpful thank you.

Clare Wilde • Feb 2024

Good, methodical with clear instructions. A useful introduction to the grid method. The only advice would be to state that the reference photo needed printing out as an essential component, prior to the workshop.

This was brilliant. Chris see explained everything so well and showed us on screen what to do. She answered all our questions and was really helpful. I have booked for some more crochet workshops.

Excellent class which went at the perfect pace. Lots of time given to perfecting the french knitting technique without feeling rushed. Rugile was really patient and helped others on the class who needed some aspects demonstrating again without slowing the pace for others who were ok. Although we did not complete a word in the time, everything was clearly demonstrated so we would know what to do once we had the required length of wool. Thank you for a lovely morning!

Livinia Cowell-Sherriff • Feb 2024

With a lovely class, quite relaxing the paint pens are quite runny but still very good. I’m not quite enough time to finish all but we were told that at the beginning don’t really like the white paint but I like the blue and the green shame there wasn’t another colour

Very fun and well-run class showing us how to create the kingfisher picture from start to finish. Was also a good introduction to using acrylic paints for someone like me who had never used them before. I was surprised how flat they were on the paper and how quickly they dried. Just as well as the detail and highlights are added by subsequent layers. Really good learning.

Alex • Feb 2024

Joey was a fantastic instructor. She was really patient and went above and beyond to explain things, teach new skills and to answer any questions we had. The pack of resources was fabulous, with additional pieces to enjoy after the course. I now feel really inspired and ready to use my machine more (until this course it had remained in its box for 2 months!) Thank you!

Clare Morrison • Feb 2024

Absolutely fantastic course. Joey the tutor was lovely & so knowledgeable /good at explaining things. The pace was perfect with plenty of time for questions. The craft box from Hobbycraft was also amazing. Even though I’ve had my Cricut maker for 2 years I learned so much over the 6 weeks and would recommend this course highly. Thank you so much Joey & Hobbycraft this has been a joy. Clare x

Lynette Wallace • Feb 2024

We both thoroughly enjoyed our class. Fantastic pack with everything we needed and excellent demonstration from Emma who was very informative and inspiring. Looking forward to projects using these techniques. One small suggestion the pre course information details it’s messy and to cover surfaces etc. it may be worth mentioning that it’s a good idea to have space prepared to move your first project to so you have room to do the second and keep up with the demonstrator. We had to rush to clear a suitable area where our first projects could stand undisturbed for 7 days or more to dry so we could move on to try the next technique as it was being taught.

Natalie • Feb 2024

Attended the French Knitting workshop today and found it very informative. The presenter was very accommodating and talked through the steps at a good pace. As a visual learner, I like to learn new skills by seeing how its done rather then reading it. I would defiantly recommend the workshops and I will be booking more workshops in the future. Thank you so much.

Irene was great on this course. She used the time efficiently as she gave so many extra Cricut tips at every opportunity which was so helpful. The pace of the course was perfect. I was shown features I didn’t know existed so it was so valuable.

Great lesson. Great experience and overall great! This was an amazing class, really good for people who are interested in an arty career or just want to learn about different techniques and how to do the mouth. You don't need the kit, all you need are some sketching pencils, a tissue and a rubber which is useful. The overall product is great, really realistic and the shading and texture put into the drawing looks really good. The only thing is the class goes quite quickly and sometimes your vision is a bit blurry. Thank you Rugile!

Pam Munday-Cripps • Feb 2024

This was a lovely class led by an exceptionally good tutor, Millie. The session started a few minutes late due to technical problems but Millie was very professional, apologised, and slightly overran by a few minutes at the end to compensate for the missed time. Instructions were clear and I really liked Millie's relaxed approach to painting and her encouragement to try things in our own way or with our own choice of colours. This is the second hobbycraft art event I have attended and I have fully enjoyed them both. Thank you!

I felt that too much time was given at the beginning explaining about the items either supplied in the kit or those that we should have in order to complete the class and the merits of H pencils as compared to using HB. This could have been informed to us in the list of materials sent prior to the class. This meant that 10-15 minutes was spent on this topic.
It was also quite difficult to keep up with the pace of drawing our own thing based on the tutor’s theme, outlining with the fine liners and then moving on to the actual painting.
Thankfully the class is available to repeat again from the link that has been given because I found that I couldn’t keep up with what was being shown and talked about and then for me to actually do it.

Great amount of items in the kit. Which arrived before the class, but wasn't notified of posting. The tutor was very good, clear, and friendly. Certainly helped me to get the hang of the wood clay. The follow on video was very helpful to get the modelling finished. Now just need it to dry so I can finish him the only issue for me, hence stars not 5, was that the zoom version needed to join the class, would not update on either my home or work pc's (use zoom all the time for training), so I had to join by phone. Not the tutors fault, but caused a mild panic. But overall brilliant value for money and great new skill learnt.

Steve Morton • Feb 2024

This is an absolutely fantastic course! Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The artisans take you through the whole process, step by step. The pace was perfect, didn't feel rushed or left behind. So pleased with the results!

Rachel is so clear with her explanation of using the machine and the task is hand. She’s a brilliant teacher!

Jane Downing • Feb 2024

Another really enjoyable lesson! Learned a lot more than anticipated (as per usual) and improved straight away. With timely reminders from Rugile to practice to perfect muscle memory doing brush lettering as am still a beginner. Thank you so much! Bit tricky to see my first attempt (before the lesson) for happy birthday (under the mark making practices) and then a photo of my attempts after being educated by Rugile. Such a fabulous mindful practice as you have to focus so much on what you're doing. Love it!

Nicola Marriott • Feb 2024

Really great class - easy to follow, lots of good tips for lefties! Really looking forward to using this in my crafting in future! Thank you!

Linda Harris • Feb 2024

I am a beginner and I thought the workshop was great. Well paced and informative. Learned alot. Particularly like I can go back to the video to remind myself. Excellent value for money.

Susie Offord • Feb 2024

Great first Hobbycraft lesson for me. I will definitely try more. The lesson said it was for beginners and it was true to its word. Good pace for beginners. I struggled in the second project but won’t give up! It’s great to know that we have access to the tutorial. Thank you!

Elaine Maskell • Feb 2024

Kathryn was very clear and went through the stitches slowly for those that needed her to. I got what I wanted from the workshop and I hope to use the knowledge to improve.

This class was really interesting and a different way of sketching using the grid as a guide. I didn't realise the picture was attached to the booking email to print out until the class had started and the artisan informed us. As I don’t have access to a printer at home if I had known this before hand, I could have organised getting a print out before the class but luckily I was able to use a photo I took of the picture once the artisan had drawn the grid on so it didn’t hold me back. The class was really good value and an enjoyable experience.

A very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Millie demonstrated everything clearly and the pace was great. I really loved the daler rowley paint pens and want to get other colours which will stand out beautifully on the black paper. Like some other reviewers have said, the green wasn’t great on the black paper but the blue and white really popped. I used the tracing method of the template today but next time, I will use my compass to create a design myself.

Clare • Feb 2024

Lady delivering was brilliant. I have no artistic skill at all, but i still managed to produce something following her instructions!

Rebecca • Feb 2024

Really great, I enjoy the layout of the lesson, it's very easy to follow.
I need to practice alot more, But really enjoyed it.️

Anne Blackshaw • Feb 2024

Pace was ok but sometimes too slow and sometimes too fast. The teacher didn’t ask who was a novice and who had already used their machine.
There were people with technical problems either zoom or Cricut app which held the class up. Not the teachers fault. People should prepare earlier.
Great teacher though and she answered any quieries I had. She also went over the allotted hour.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Feb 2024

The instructor made a few mistakes which obviously can happen to everyone but did sometimes make the instructions more confusing. She was very enthusiastic but it did feel like you had to keep up with the pace of everyone else.

Steve Morton • Feb 2024

This was a great course! As always the pace was perfect, easy to follow along with. I’ve leant a huge amount about water colour in general and portraiture.

A thoroughly enjoyable course and being over two sessions meant that more could be achieved. Kathryn is an excellent teacher and was always happy to repeat a particuliar stitch if we weren't sure what to do. also no question was considered too silly to ask. More crichet workshops please.

Irene explained all the steps clearly and made the lesson enjoyable. It was great for me that she was using a lap top. I should now be able to navigate through the procedures more easily and with greater confidence.

Caroline Weedon • Feb 2024

Kathryn was great, and the project was very enjoyable. Seeing the demonstration and being able to ask questions where needed made a project that would have been challenging made much more achievable.

Left me keen to do another crochet workshop. I would love to see a simple garment project, please A poppy for Remembrance Day would be good too.

Diane Platt • Feb 2024

Nice pace and easy instructions. Nice tutor, very friendly. I bought just the instruction as had paints and brushes but some explanation on what colours and brushes would be used prior to the workshop would have been great.

Workshop was good. Really enjoyed it. I felt it went a bit too fast. It probably needs to be an hour & a half, as there was an assumption that everyone was working at the same speed as the demonstrator. The problem was, that as it was so hands on, if you stopped to communicate you would have got left behind. It would also have been helpful to have a picture of the finished item. I found it hard working on black paper by unnatural light. However, I did really enjoy it and proud of my achievement.

Alison Soule • Feb 2024

Loved the course, great kit bag though one of my yarns tended to split. Tutor was brilliant friendly and very informative, thank you.

Jane Downing • Feb 2024

Gisela was so lovely, and I really enjoyed learning new watercolour techniques. She was a good teacher and like magic at one point when I was feeling a bit wobbly about how my picture was turning out she reminded us it was learning and repetition to improve and enjoy the process and repeat. Absolutely lush And looking forward to more practises. Thank you.

Angela Hill • Feb 2024

This was a great workshop! At first, I was sceptical that my drawing would look anything other than one dimensional but, with Rugile's guidance, I was able to produce two sketches of mouths which looked very believable. I wish there had been slightly more time for the session (maybe another 15 minutes or so, so as not to feel rushed) but other than that it was a lovely class, by a calm, knowledgeable, and kind tutor.

Sharon Spooner • Feb 2024

A super fun workshop. Irene was great and explained everything and answered any questions we had. The wood clay is interesting to work with, Irene showed us great tips on how to work with the clay and the video invaluable afterwards to help finish off and paint when fully dried

This was a very therapeutic workshop. Very clear and easy to follow instructions from the artisan. It would have helped if the template with the design on also had the circles and circle divisions on it.

Philippa • Feb 2024

Hannah and Catherine were really helpful and patient, helping me to understand the pattern instructions, pick up stitches, and create the least holey underarm I think I've ever knitted! I've got what looks like a slightly looser stitch where previously I would have had a gaping hole, so a short workshop has made my underarms a million times better, thank you!

Jennifer Stewart • Feb 2024

Very informative and I'm confident now because no question was a silly one.

I booked this course for my 14 year old daughter who had never crocheted before. By the end of the session she had produced two squares and mastered three stiches. She was delighted!
Chrissie explained everything really well and was happy to explain again (and again!) if required. She was friendly and chatty and made the hour and a half session fun. I was a little worried about how it would work online rather than face to face, but it wasn't an issue. I would recommend this workshop.

Kiyana Wilkins • Feb 2024

The class and instructor were great! My only complaint would be that I wish there was more info about how long the project would actually take to complete. The class was an hour and a half, but then to be told it would take an additional 3 to 4 hours to complete it and 9 days for it to dry.

I loved it, but that info would have been good to know for planning purposes.

Really enjoyable class led by Rugilee. She paced it well and was friendly. 5* for the artisan.

The only downside was with the equipment. The green paint doesn't show well on the black paper supplied. Also, I think a compass should be included in the kit as this isn't something most adults would have. I am glad I bought one for the class as I think it would have been tricky without. 3* for the supplied kit.

Lucy Gurner • Feb 2024

Brilliant, really enjoyed it & teacher was so lovely and made it easy to follow. Can’t wait to see the finished project and get practising different words

Penny Blake • Feb 2024

I really loved the course. As a compete novice who bought their cricut machine just before christmas, I knew nothing about the software associated with it. I usually self teach myself using the Internet and you tube and as a result Im quite good at the things I have learnt, such as Photoshop and MS Office. But being a rather busy person who works away a lot I havent had the quality time to site and learn the absolute basics. I figured that at £10 for the course, even if I just learnt one or two things it would be worth it.
There were nine of us on the course and it quickly became apparent that I knew a lot less than most of them. I knew how to open the software and use one of the pre set projects.
The course was timetabled for 60 minutes, but lasted for over 90 which show to me that the instructor was more concerned with making sure they have taught us the syllabus than getting away on time, great stuff. irene wasnt rushed and if we asked her to repeat something she was happy to do so.
If is only a beginners course, so Im not an expert on the software, but the way the course was presented I now feel confident on making simple projects. She taught us Setting up basic shapes, manipulating them, layering and slicing. I know she taught us the technical names but as I said before enough was taught so that I can not only create a project that I have in mind from scratch but actually do it a little. For example, my first project was going to be to make some labels for a hobby drawer system I had. I was thinking of just doing the lettering and sticking it on, but now I intend to create an exact shape of the drawers on the system and using the slice method, cut out the lettering and print that.
OK, got as bit boring there, but hopefully you get the idea that I now have confidence to progress. Although heavily discounted in the Black Friday deals the machine was quite costly and I would hate for that to become a waste, however, for the small price of £10 that I paid I feel I have got my monies worth and will now be able to craft with confidence.

Thank you Hobby Craft and more importantly, Irene

It was a shame the instructions said board and not black board so I watched and listened and will be spray painting my board with black board paint.

The class was great! It was only Hannah and myself but it gave a great opportunity to ask loads of questions and make sure I fully understood. Hannah is great this is the 2nt class I had with her!

I value this class most for making me want to come back and try the portrait again at leisure, using the techniques discussed, and then move on to portraits from my own photographs. I found the first part of the class a bit of a rush, trying to trace and transfer the outlines of the portrait template to the watercolour paper and wish I'd had a softer pencil to hand. As the transfer didn't work first go because I obviously wasn't pressing hard enough I got rather behind and decided to just watch the rest of the class which dealt with watercolour techniques rather than try to catch up and miss out on watching the tutor's example. But that's the blessing of being sent a recording after so that you can experiment again however many times you want. Good tutor and the class was good value for money.

I really enjoyed this, learned how to use some sketch pencils I was gifted and was pretty pleased with my rabbit! This was my second class with the lovely Millie. Who is a great teacher. I did the mixed media florals first which I really loved. I think I wish this class was 1.5hours as it was quite a push to fit it in/practice all the techniques or maybe draw a mouse, something smaller? But there's a recording so I can look back at it.

The class was excellent. It started on time and lasted the promised time. The teacher was very kind, she explained all the time how to do the work and explained different techniques. She also encouraged us to explore our creativity, which I think is very valuable for any artist. I would definitely do a workshop with her again.

I liked this class.It was really fun with lots of skills and techniques you were able to learn. At the end you were also given lots of videos on how to do certain things which was helpful. You also don't need the same brushes as the Hobbycraft people are using. But it goes quite quickly so it is hard to catch up with the class but altogether a great experience and a recommendation for people who are interested in an art career and painting . It is great

Karen Garner • Jan 2024

It was a fun hour. Tutor was happy and went at the right speed. Going to hobby craft to get more paints. Well worth the money.

Dave Atkinson • Jan 2024

It was useful in that I did learn some things that I hope I will find useful. The drawback was that it was too much to do (for me) in the time. Also, it would have been helpful if I had been able to show my work-in-progress to the tutor and ask advice - the Zoom format and time condte do not allow for this. Thank you.?

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

It was OK - I'm glad I did it - but I felt it was not quite as detailed as I needed as a total beginner.
I found it difficult to squeeze out the paint, eg directing it, -never having used paint like that before.
Plus, the dark green paint doesn't show up well on the black page!

Jane • Jan 2024

An interesting class, with a video to follow as it’s not possible to complete it in the session time. Artisan was very patient and knowledgeable

Karen • Jan 2024

I really enjoyed the workshop. First time user of zoom so was a bit nervous at first but all went smoothly. Irene is a very good teacher and I will definitely finish mine this week. Although mine seems to be a lot smaller than the one Irene was working on, I’m sure when finished it will look cute in a box frame

Fiona Taylor • Jan 2024

The teacher was great, as was the class, but it seems we all received half the clay we should have.

Clare Rose • Jan 2024

The class itself was really good. Lovely Rugilee was the tutor and took us through all the steps to create a mandala. My reason for deducting one star is due to the provided kit. It hadn’t been packaged brilliantly so the lovely art book had squished spiral binding and a squashed corner. The choice of colours for black paper could have been much better - the white and blue were fine but the dark green is barely visible on the black paper. But overall really enjoyable.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Excellent class, easy to follow and set at the right pace for beginners. Having the recording afterwards to follow again at my own pace was a real bonus.

Tammy Reed • Jan 2024

Catherine Cokell • Jan 2024

Very clearly explained, I had tried previously to learn by book but just didn’t get it but Katherine explained it well and how stitches would look if they weren’t done correctly. Would recommend to anyone who just thought they weren’t clever enough or who just ‘didn’t get it’ previously.

Very well explained, indepth and really made me feel like i can tackle what i need to with my cricut machine!

Elizabeth Amanda Head • Jan 2024

I am so grateful to Kathryn. I wanted to move forward from basic knitting but I found reading patterns very hard. She worked with me patiently and clearly so I have been able to take the next step forward. She gave me a sense of achievement - and the session was fun!

Really good workshop. The only problem was trying to get all of the squares completed in a week. I know the tutor explained that it wasn’t necessary, but I felt like I needed to try. Maybe a fortnight between classes would be helpful instead? Both Kathryn and Chrissie were very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning new stitches etc. I would recommend this class for intermediate students, not beginners, unless you are up for a challenge, lol. I loved the video to keep, as it helped remind me of how to make the squares. Kathryn did a great job of explaining slowly how to create each stitch. Well done. Thank you.

I loved the class. Rugile was amazing and explained everything perfectly. I am going to watch the video of the lessons and do it again this weekend, as I can see where I can improve. As this was my first drawing, I'm really pleased with the results, and am looking forward to doing more.

the class was excellent, she talked us through all the preparation, what to get ready, how to set up a tray which recycled the package the paints came inwe learnt all about pouring paint, also she went into more detail about other methods, how to do them, what other things we can do, and add into the paints, what we can do with left overs too.
I cannot explain how calm, how passionate and how great she was in her explanations.
will do another Gisela Narton class

Having completed the 3 session Dog Portrait class previously with Hobbycraft I felt better able to take on this one hour course to draw a bunny.

Tina Hayward • Jan 2024

My New Years Resolution 2024 was to learn new crafts and skills but having a full time job makes it difficult to commit to a regular day/time. I felt an online course would suit me very well and there was good options of days and times. 1.5hours suited my attention span too! And I am happy to use zoom. Booking was easy and I felt the price was right. The items arrived quickly by post and communication and reminders were excellent. I was delighted to be asked if I was lefthanded as this has been my stumbling block in the past when learning new skills. I believe there were 6 of us on the course with camera's blocked (your choice) and mics muted (your choice) there was little to no interaction with others. Our tutor was lovely and patient and kind but I did struggle. Everything she demonstrated she demonstrated again in her left hand but it wasn't easy for her and I felt I was holding everyone up. I fully understand that you cannot learn a new skill in just one hour - it takes so much time and practice. Afterwards, I felt a little disappointed that I hadn't mastered it although our tutor reassured us it would take time and practice. Very helpfully, she sent through a left handed online video tutorial to me and this really helped! The outcome of this is that before the online lesson I wouldn't probably have known what a crochet needle looked like. 2 days later I have created a little crochet worm and have been able to add to this. Not quite coaster size yet but hey, a new skill. It will take time and practice and it was fun to step out of my comfort zone and learn a new skill. I am (almost) hooked

Jen • Jan 2024

Great class. Easy to follow and informative. I really enjoyed it. Useful to have the zoom recording as well. Thank you Holly.

Jo Walls • Jan 2024

The course last night was really good fun. I learnt a few new techniques in with using a fineliner and then paints because the last watercolour picture I did now hangs in someone’s house because it reminds her of her dog. I didn’t use a fineliner on that but I felt if I needed someone to be noticed then it needs a fine liner and the way they suggested which one to use was useful so I’ll take that info when using a fine liner pen

I would recommend the session.

Judith King • Jan 2024

The activity was clearly explained and easy to follow, even though I had never done quilling before. I was really pleased with my finished result and the kit contains plenty of material to keep practicing. The only drawbacks were that the kit only arrived a day before the workshop and the workshop ended very abruptly as we ran out of time.

Penny' Baines • Jan 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed and he teacher was lovely and explained really well. I was taught by my grandmother as a child but am now in my sixties but some did come back.

Karen Falconer • Jan 2024

Holly was a great (left handed) teacher and we covered a lot in an hour.

The tips and general advice were really helpful and being taught by a left hander was geniuswell done, Hobbycraft, for giving us our own learning space

The craft kit which accompanied the workshop was brilliant too.

I will definitely sign up for more of the craft workshops. Thank you.

I was very interested in doing this art class and Emma was really good in explaining how to do the grid. The problem was this class was only one hour, why? Your pet portrait runs for three sessions, this class should be at least two sessions. It took 20 minutes just to draw the grid required so by the time our hour was up we we still on the outline details and hadn’t reached doing the important details like fur. Emma provided links to see how to draw fur but it would have been better to definitely have a week two class.

Rona Macdonald • Jan 2024

Super helpful instructor. Really good tips and delighted there is a video to help me finish the details at the end of the project. I am really looking forward to seeing my green man when he dries out and is ready for painting.

Angela Beech • Jan 2024

Irene made this look very straightforward and gave us some very good tips on handling and working with this clay. I only watched as that's the way I learn but am really looking forward to creating my own green man. Thank you Irene and Hobbycraft, another excellent workshop.

I really enjoyed this workshop and having a go at something I haven't done before. The time flew by and although it's just not possible to complete everything during the workshop, you're given everything you need to complete it in your own time.

Thank you!

What a lovely new workshop given by a clear, precise and friendly trainer. I am glad there is a follow up video as the class moved very fast. I made a mistake and lagged behind, so can catch up later. What an interesting new product. Gppd class.

Jane • Jan 2024

Easy to follow, good pace and handy tips during the workshop. Artisan was very friendly and welcoming.

Amanda Robins • Jan 2024

Really enjoyed doing the bunny watercolour workshop. It did seem to go really fast towards the end but we were sent the recoding to take another look at. Really enjoyed and would book again.

Really enjoyed this class and pleased with the resulting painting. Giselan was an excellent teacher who explained the various paint techniques well. Really appreciate being able to use my own materials and only pay £5!

Netta Wraight • Jan 2024

inspiring. now need to do again using less water. good step by step teaching . would like longer

Catherine Saffery • Jan 2024

Really challenging but rewarding class. Gisele was very clear and precise in her instructions and despite going down with flu she kept smiling. Well done and thank you. Materials took some getting used to but results are satisfying if you persevere. Suggest that if new to macrame like me that you choose the lighter yarn but if like me you choose dark blue put a piece of white paper underneath so you can see the knots. Getting the correct tension in the square knots is important but the good news is you can undo it and start again which I did and using masking tape to hold the middle string also helped tremendously. Really enjoyed it and want to do more.

Kerry Mann • Jan 2024

This session was so useful! A really comprehensive go through of literally every button on design space, with plenty of time for reflection and brilliant suggestions of what the different tools could be used for. Eg: this would be great to add drawing onto a gift tag.

I really enjoyed learning something new and the session was so well led! Everything was very clearly explained and we were given time to try things without feeling rushed. I finished feeling confident that I can build on what I learn and undertake my own projects.

Anita • Jan 2024

Invaluable content. Absolutely loved this course and the artisan, Joey. Really informative and some great tips on a variety of Cricut issues. The materials pack is good, contains everything needed to complete each project. I found it easier to listen, pick up the information and tips and then complete each task in my own time, rather than trying to craft along. I found trying to craft along tricky, as I'd miss steps that were being shown whist trying to navigate my own computer screen, etc. I have joined all of the Cricut courses available, and would like to see some more, maybe taking the elements learnt and doing shadow boxes, or something like that, also maybe using the engraving and debossing tools.

Sheila Ellis • Jan 2024

Brilliant. First online class for me. Really enjoyed it. Very good teacher. Also follow up video so needed. Thank you very much.

F Chaudhri • Jan 2024

Great instruction, clear guidance, and at the end of it I actually had a sketch that looked like a nose. very pleased and will be doing more now

Enjoyable class that went at a good pace and was excellent value for money. All techniques were well explained and the 8mage was kept on the screen so that we could see the end goal and how to build up to it. We are going to be sent the image and a video so we can have another go to improve further which is also great?

Shuna Bland • Jan 2024

A really good workshop. Reasonably priced and excellent delivery of a generous quantity of materials. The Zoom meeting was easy to join and the lady (Irene I think) lead us through the process of making foam flowers very clearly. She made it even more interesting by showing us how to mix colours of the clay and how to make butterflies as well as flowers. Altogether I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and consider it to have been excellent value for money. Many thanks.

Really enjoyed this class. Learnt quite a lot and was really happy with what I managed to produce. It felt a little rushed so I think the piece could have been smaller so you could keep up with the tutor. Will be looking for other classes in the future!

These sessions are always really informative and helpful and it's great you can concentrate on what's being talked about because the slides etc are always shared at the end.

Edwina Lowe • Jan 2024

These sessions are always so helpful and informative. Having the slides and checklists shared at the end is useful as you can concentrate on the session itself and just take occasional notes on things not on the slides.

Very relaxing class - after a busy day at work it was just what I needed. The pace was just right for me and it was great value for money as I already had the necessary equipment. I liked the use of masking tape to create the border and make a manageable sized picture to complete in the time of the class. .

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

This class was enjoyable and it was good to learn some other skills to these in the Christmas decoration quilling class. It was fiddly and needed patience but it all came together nicely at the end. I was a little disappointed not to be making the chick design as this was the one I was most excited about but we have been sent a video to show us how to make that one so that can be a project for another time. I did enjoy making the bluebell design and was happy with how it looked at the end.

Rebecca Waller • Jan 2024

Christie was a fantastic host. The group was very small which was great for what I wanted. She explained everything in great detail and answered all my questions.

Jennifer P G Khoo • Jan 2024

I enjoyed and learnt a lot from the tutorial. The tutor (sorry, forgot her name) is pleasant & very knowledgeable about using Cricut machines. She was able to answer all my impromptu questions with explanations and demo.
This tutorial gives me the confidence to use the machines again.
Well worth the training.
Thank you

Great one to one cricut workshop with Chrissie today. Thank you so much for all of your help and ideas. I was using the machine straight afterwards, and got it all set up and working fine! Thanks for giving me the information I needed for all the different materials and especially the blades too. If you take this workshop, bring a notebook, lol. I highly recommend this to anyone having queries about their maker3. Well worth it! Thanks again Chrissie and Hobbycraft.

Sarah Lilley • Jan 2024

Adrienne Herron • Jan 2024

Absolutely loved this course. I am new to crochet and this is the first course I have done. Kathryn’s demonstrations were easy to understand and follow. She also explained plenty of different options to adapt the project for that personalised touch. This has totally made me fall in love with crocheting and I look forward to doing more courses with Hobbycraft in the future!

This is the second class recently that it has not started on time. The last class started 20 minutes late. This class was rescheduled to start 2 hours after the actual start time, only informed 20 minutes after the class was supposed to have started. I now know these classes are unreliable.

Tanya • Jan 2024

Gisela was a fantastic tutor, very patient and gave lots of useful tips on colour mixing, pouring guidance etc. It was a great class, messy but fun would highly recommend.

I didn’t buy the kit and so did not receive a copy of the photo to trace beforehand. Fortunately the tutor was very good and explained how to do a quick freehand sketch so I did still get a lot out of the class and learnt some new tips. I did feel the class was a bit rushed and would have benefited from more time but having a recording makes up for this.

Livinia Cowell-Sherriff • Jan 2024

The tutor was very good and explained the process well! However I did struggle with the first part cutting the clay shape through the template, when removing the template quite a few lines were missing, and when defining the lines I had a lot of loose clay which made the face messy and not smooth! I feel I will start again, I didn't get as far as making the features for the face, as I wasn't happy with it! I will look forward to having the video and trying again!

Jenny Smithson • Jan 2024

Great workshop, clear and easy to understand instructions and I enjoyed making the bag. I was very pleased with the end result and will definitely make another one.

Clare Wilde • Jan 2024

The session was well thought out. It progressed steadily with lots of useful tips. I was pleased with what I produced.
The session could have benefitted from the reference sketch being provided beforehand, but the sketch was sent straight after the session, as requested.
I previously completed the landscape workshop and a recorded video was sent, following the workshop. This would further improve the session.

Wendy Dunsmore • Jan 2024

Good class but I didn't have access to the original reference picture so got a bit lost at times with what I was doing. Teacher was great - just not sure watercolour is for me but will try another class to make sure!

Another enjoyable art class - wish I had been taught like this at school as then I might have had more belief in myself and been doing art sooner!

Wendy Dunsmore • Jan 2024

Interesting course - some techniques I liked, others I wasn't as keen on but that is the good thing about this one, you get to try a few different things!

Wendy Dunsmore • Jan 2024

Excellent course - learned so much from this and have really got interested in doing more drawing since. Plan on doing more of the art classes to learn as many techniques as I can.
The tutor - Rugile - was patient and was great at explaining the various steps in the process. Highly recommend.

Wendy Dunsmore • Jan 2024

Enjoyable course but you won't end up with a finished piece on the day so make sure you have time to finish it afterwards!

Wendy Dunsmore • Jan 2024

Really interesting course using materials I hadn't tried before - and there is plenty paint/pencils that will allow you to keep practising long after the course has finished which is excellent.

Wendy Dunsmore • Jan 2024

Without the reference picture available it was hard to see what was being done especially in the lighter sections. But I did learn some useful techniques.

It was an enjoyable class and Irene explained everything clearly step by step and made the learning easy. It was my 1st time for embroidery and I learnt some lovely stitches which I feel will be fun and really useful. It was great to have the recording as we were pushed for time - so I can now watch it and practise, and have the video to remind me of the stitches

Class was good pace, excellent tutor. The paints were a good choice, lots of tips given by tutor on how to use them. Have been wanting to know how to create these intricate designs for ages, I did not believe I could do them until this class.

Mark • Jan 2024

Great introduction. Clear, helpful, patient and (very important) reassuring! Can’t wait to get started…

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Great teacher. She explained things well. But having the class only an hour long made it very difficult to keep up and it was v rushed. This course would benefit from being 1.5 hr to 2 hrs long. And perhaps a more simpler picture to draw would of helped. As it was v detailed.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Great fun. Good teacher.
Great at explaining what we would be doing and the different stages.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Jan 2024

Fabulous and very informative. I'm pleased Irene mentioned what not to do that can damage the machine as well as all the excellent things you can do with it! Loved learning about all the tools and blades you can use. Irene is an excellent host.

Kate Singleton • Dec 2023

Joey had a fabulous mix of information and experience on the cricut joy. She made my daughter’s birthday treat feel really special. No question was too daft for her to answer. Highly recommend and will be booking again to further our knowledge

Abby Campbell • Dec 2023

Absolutely amazing workshop. Loads of information, and really helpful tips. With Irene’s tutorial I feel confident to try my Cricut maker 3. (Yes it was still in the box, lol) Thank you so much for a very professional, detailed and thorough explanation of the machine, the accessories, and especially the blades. Really worthwhile and very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend this workshop.

Kelly Box • Dec 2023

Brilliant class that covered all the basics. Irene was easy to understand and kept a good pace. Lots of opportunities to ask questions and, even though I’ve had my machine for a year, I learnt lots of new things. I’m really looking forward to my Design Space session in a few weeks. Thank you!

Jo Bates • Dec 2023

Carrie Stockton • Dec 2023

Melanie • Dec 2023

An enjoyable drawing class with the lovely tutor, Millie. Lots of tips given to apply to achieve the 3-D Butterfly drawing but also to use for future 3-D drawings. The drawing is not as difficult as it looks when well explained in steps by the tutor. The class was well-paced to try out all the techniques used for the drawing. To indulge in an hour's drawing class with no distractions is both absorbing and relaxing. I thoroughly recommend this class.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

The tutor was clear, paced the workshop well, came over as a very pleasant person and gave out a lot of useful information.

It seemed really good and Bobby was very clear with the insructions. I only gave 4 stars however as i wish I had been alerted to cut the strips before the workshop as i couldnt do it from the beginning as i was trying to cut the strips and had to do that on the floor. I watched the video all the way through . It looks good and i will rewatch the video when I receive it. I just wish i had read the little booklet with it . I would have been prepared then.
Thankyou

I have always liked art and before lockdown and the pandemic I did attend courses which included watercolours as well.
but when everything closed down i lost interest but i really wanted to get back into drawing and saw this class and thought it was a great opportunity to get back into it.
The tutor(Millie) was very clear at her instructions whilst going through one step at a time, and very precisely what type of pencil to use. I did however find the information useful in which was the darker pencil than to the lighter which was useful.
The pack arrived a few days before the class started which was great. I have already done the gift bag designing now this and am looking into doing more whether its drawing or watercolours.

Melanie Stead • Dec 2023

A great class, where you learn a skill which is both useful and fun. Our instructor was very friendly and helpful, and I found the session easy to follow.

Josephine Constantine • Dec 2023

Gisela was great fun. Very helpful and uncritical. She was able to get us started with holding the pens correctly and practising the basics of mark making, lettering and joining them to make words.
I thoroughly enjoyed the class and will certainly try to develop this skill. Thank you Gisela.

Today I've had the pleasure of attending the "Beginner's Guide to Cricut Joy" workshop led by the talented and knowledgeable Rachel Elinor. From start to finish, the class was an absolute delight, providing an engaging and enriching experience for beginners like myself. Rachel delivered a session well-structured and easy to follow, and made the learning process not only informative but also thoroughly enjoyable with practical examples. The step-by-step guidance was clear, and her explanations were easy to understand, even for someone like me who is just starting to explore the world of Cricut.
I'm genuinely looking forward to putting my newfound knowledge into practice and exploring the possibilities this great little machine offers.

Hermione • Dec 2023

Really helpful session for my daughter who wanted to learn how to make crochet animals. She was shown how to find patterns, ideas and the stitches that she needs to get started. After the session she is inspired to continue with the pattern and build on the skills learnt.

This was an excellent workshop. Kathryn was excellent and super helpful. I can proudly say that after the workshop finished, I've now successfully finished my first granny square, having never made one before and being very new to crochet! So I'll carry on making more to practice this.

As I had attended the basic intro to crochet workshop a few days prior, this was great, as that gave me a great foundation to then go onto this workshop; as I then already knew how to do the basic stitches involved.

Sharon Bennett • Dec 2023

Carole Anne Lalley • Dec 2023

I really enjoyed this 6 week course and learned a whole lot about crochet from Kathryn, the perfect tutor. As I am not in the best of health, I couldn’t log on to all tutorials and, therefore found a wee goldmine, to me, in the after class recordings of the tutorials, where I could catch up on the work in my own time. I have noticed a marked improvement in my skills too. I will be watching out for more workshops which appeal to me as much

Mary Evelyn Miles • Dec 2023

I missed the postman and had to wait until two days after before collecting my box. However I still attanded the session and was able to pick up some great ideas and when my box arrived today was able to work on the materials very easy.

This was a great beginner crochet workshop. It was very easy to follow the artisan, who was great and friendly and frequently checked in on our progress. Having never crocheted before, I was able to quickly learn the basic stitches covered in this workshop, which I preferred learning by watching how to do this, rather than via the diagrams.

I would love more beginner crochet workshops like this, like how to read a crochet pattern and other small beginner projects, so I can build upon what I learnt in this basic
crochet stitches workshop.

Wendy Cla • Dec 2023

I will definitely book another on line workshop and try some other crafts.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

The online class was easy to access and all materials were provided.
The class/session was tricky for the instructor, not being able to see/watch people work. There were a lot of starts and stops, some misteps/confusion about the pattern, quite a bit of lost time. However, still enjoyable.
Overall, the video link provided after was the most helpful.

We went through it step by step which made it seem very manageable. I really enjoyed it.

Julia Barrett • Dec 2023

I really enjoyed this class. I have never tried crochet before and found the instructions to be clear and easy to follow. Also the pace was not too fast,so you could keep up with the instructions. We learnt three different stitches which will allow us to try and make something. The yarn which was included was nice and chunky and the crochet hook was just right. An instruction sheet,with diagrams was included in the bag. The class started on time via Zoom. Thank you very much.

Izzy Higgins • Dec 2023

It was amazing! The box arrived in perfect timing and when I reached out to make sure it was on it’sway I had a quick email reply to say it had been sent! Then the actual class was with Rachel and she was lovely

Anne • Dec 2023

A very good and clear demonstration from Rachel. Just a small quibble - it was stated on the email.to check the contents of he box when it arrived, but no check list of contents was included!

Julie Lawrence • Dec 2023

We enjoyed Rachel’s workshop on quilling. It was a nice way for my daughter and I to do something together. We learned lots but would have liked to try a few more different things even though we were shown pictures of other things we could. Thanks again. We had fun.

This was great. As a complete cake decorating beginner, Chloe was a fab teacher; patient, working at the right pace and with enough explanation to make it understandable and fun but not overwhelming. Well worth the money. Thank you. My little helper and I loved it.

Emma was a great tutor, went through everything really well and sent out the templates after the course.
My only slight criticism was that there was only one template included in the pack, so I didn't use it during the course, as I didn't realise at that stage that Emma was going to email a copy for future use. I used the pad provided, which was fine, and will use the template once I have had chance to print out further copies.

I used to sew a lot but haven’t made anything from a pattern for many years. This was exactly what I needed to remind me how to read a pattern properly. Better still, I picked up lots of very useful tips about things I hadn’t previously learned. An excellent class.

Karen • Dec 2023

A great class and exactly what I needed to show me how to shade and shape. We covered a huge amount in an hour but I now have the tools I need to start practicing on my own.

Lynsey Houlton • Dec 2023

Whilst I would have preferred an in person class, I found this class very easy to follow on zoom. The artists were very helpful and worked to a good pace. I hope to use the techniques in my own work moving forward. A good beginner course. Thank you

Kirill • Dec 2023

Great introduction to the machine. I learned lot's and got to ask some questions. Very engaging and informative.

Clare Szabo • Dec 2023

Excellent workshop - the items included in the kit were lovely and excellent value for money. The tutor was great, very clear, talented and easy to follow. Would recommend Hobbycraft workshops.

Lori Wilson • Dec 2023

Really fun course to learn a new skill. The time went by very quickly and there definitely wasn't enough time to complete the sign. (The workshop was only an hour) but the teacher sends you a follow up video so you can re-watch and compelte in your own time which is fantastic. I wish all workshops did this.

Everything was included in the pack that you need (bar scissors) and the teacher explained things clearly.

Really enjoyable class
Instructions were easy to understand and I have found a new relaxing craft.

Sandie Wingvist • Dec 2023

this was an interesting course, however I feel that sometimes an hour is insufficent amount of time to completing this project. I also feel that this project could do with a scrap piece of wood to practice some of the tecniques.

Loved this workshop. Artisan host was lovely and friendly. She also said right at the start that we weren't going to be finished within our time slot, 1 hr, however she would show us everything we needed to know and email us a prerecorded workshop for future reference, which was emailed as soon the online workshop ended.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

The class is fun and easy to follow. The artisan is very patient and taught us step by step with lots of demonstrations and explanations. Very enjoyable throughout the whole lesson.

Really lovely class with great tutor. Very clear instructions and I was quickly able to create something very attractive. You don’t need to have great drawing skills as there are nice simple examples to copy. Once I got going it was really relaxing and I plan to make more of these personalised baubles to give to friends. I would throughly recommend this class.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

Just a lovely workshop to have on a Saturday morning. The leader was very knowledgeable and friendly. Took it nice and slow and even repeated steps. I had a lot of fun.

Well explained and lots of ideas to fill the baubles with etc.

Jennifer Laffar • Dec 2023

Something I have not tried before so a new experience. Nice kit which arrived well before the class. Teacher was young and very enthusiastic. She explained everything very clearly (although did over explain the carbon paper - something my age group are probably very used to using). Very impressed with my finished sign and I will certainly use the equipment and techniques again.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

Her screen was too bright making it difficult to see what she was doing, especially when she did the shading

Yvonne • Dec 2023

I loved this workshop! The kit provided was brilliant and contained lots of strips to make multiple decorations. It was quite fast paced and I didn't finish the snowflake in the class but continued afterwards and managed to finish it and create the present. The video sent after the class is great and will allow you to continue making any that you don't get time to finish. The artisan demonstrated every thing clearly and I am looking forward to finishing the Christmas tree one next.

Thanks again for a great session from Ellie (Lynnes daughter) xxx

What a great introduction to brush lettering. This session with Gisela was filled with loads of practical tips for getting the most out of the excellent pens and materials supplied by Hobbycraft. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Karen Clark • Dec 2023

I really enjoyed the workshop, although I prefer doing the workshops in person, but there is no option for that. I feel like it was not long enough, as even the lady running the workshop could not knit enough to make the word. Although she was really nice and helpful. She did say that there was a discount code but it didn’t come up on my screen and she said it wouldn’t be sent by e-mail, so I was disappointed with that. I would recommend the workshop and will continue French knitting.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

Mollie took time to explain the different types of pencils and tools needed for the workshop. Mollie was patient and her instructions were clear. A good workshop for a beginner . An easy and relaxing workshop on a Sunday morning.

Maria Holmes • Dec 2023

Great introduction to this craft Took another hour to complete. Added the Holly myself. Very pleased. Thank you

Pauline Cowlard • Dec 2023

Very good course, it may have helped if we knew about shading the letters beforehand as it would have given more time for the actual burning of the pattern onto the wood.

Sandra • Dec 2023

Good intro to pyrography. Holly was very knowledgeable.
I Would definitely recommend this session. Thank you

Beatrice Bolton • Dec 2023

Lecturer was excellent. Made the session interesting and informative. Will certainly look for more classes through Hobbycraft. Thankyou

Sarah Pownall • Dec 2023

Holly was great! Gave good advice and was very helpful. Really enjoyed the class! Pyrography is something that's not natural to me and will take some practice, but that's the best bit! Now I've got the basics, I can try them out on lots of things.

As a non techie who has not done online courses before, could download and find online course without too much hassle, tutor was really good and showed how to at the right speed, item made was good. really liked the video sent of how to make all the models.
Kit supplied was very generous with items provided and and was up to the usual great standard of Hobby craft tuition.

Great course as an introduction to watercolour landscape painting. Kit arrived in plenty of time to familiarise yourself to it. The course was very informative and at a pace that enabled you to keep up plus you had the option to ask questions if needed. I was very pleased with the results and would highly recommend.

Grace Santoss • Dec 2023

Lovely host well guided session made to feel very welcome across all abilities and ages

Carole • Dec 2023

As I am a complete beginner to painting, I chose this watercolour class to be able to learn the basics. I found many of the tips that we received were very useful. With the small kit that I received, it gave me the opportunity to try and get the effect that I wanted. My own painting was not really very good, but it has given me a chance to try out some more painting in the future. This online lesson has inspired me to carry on trying. At some time in the future, I may do this again. Thank you very much.

Fabulous. A really enjoyable hour with a cute little wreath at the end of it. Kathryn explained it all really well and then sent a link to a recording and a pattern. I highly recommend this class

Hopefully Hobbycraft will start including patterns in the kit like they used to as they are very useful to have to refer to during crochet workshops.

Rebecca Clifford • Dec 2023

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

We are very upset with the standard of this workshop. We have given up trying to connect to the zoom call. After 40mins of trying to connect and get hold of someone. The Zoom link didn’t work and we couldnt get hold of anyone to help get us connected. I have also tried to ring the ashford store to see if they can help and no one is answering. I’ve emailed. I’ve actually called your ashford store 7 times in the last 30mins. We have also got all the stuff for the wreaths out and have no glue gun sent even tho we ordered along with the booking and paid extra for!

We are very gutted! It has ruined our evening! I hope to receive a refund for this workshop as it has been an absolute letdown.

And honestly this evening has been a huge hassle and a complete waste of our time.

We have another workshop booked for next Friday and haven’t got very high hopes for how that will turn out.

Christine • Dec 2023

Emma was a good host, the info provided was everything I would have expected from an intro. The lace plant that came with the kit wasn't great though, quite stiff to work with as a beginner and the shape itself doesn't make a clean/pretty imprint.
Also a list of optional materials would have been useful, such as a pencil or cocktail stick.

Val Thomson • Dec 2023

This is the second cake decorating workshop I've done with Chloe, and it was just as good as the first one. She gives lots of helpful hints and tips as she's going through the workshop and both times I've made something I did not think I would achieve. I'd definitely recommend one of these workshops to anyone that is thinking about it.
Thanks Chloe!

Sara Imarisio • Dec 2023

An enjoyable one hour workshop to learn how to craft clay and decorate it. The teacher was friendly and clear in providing guidance and suggestions.

Chrissy our tutor was good, she explained the process well and went back over steps when needed.
Didn't need to waste time with introductions as none of us were on camera and it meant the hour class was unnecessarily shortened.
Disappointed to not finish the make which it doesn't detail on the website, expectation was to complete much of it in your own time.

Nichola Fletcher • Dec 2023

Great class and teacher. Teacher went through everything at an easy to follow pace. Thanks

April James • Dec 2023

Great class! The instructor gave helpful guidance, the use of multiple cameras really helped understand how to make the item and I came away with a completed decoration - result! The kit provides more than enough equipment to make many more so I look forward to doing more in the future.

Perfect pace and very clear directions from Gisela. Would definitely recommend the workshops, I opted for an online class as I'm not close to a store.

These crochet cristmas wreaths are amazing. I was excited as soon as my box arrived in the post. Katherine talks through the each stage and will repeat anything that you don't understand . A really enjoyable hour would recomend it to everyone

I really enjoyed this online workshop. The presentation was just at the right pace to have a go with the lino printing kit and there were lots of useful tips included.

Paula • Dec 2023

Did the Christmas wreath crochet workshop. Really enjoyed making the wreath. Katherine the artisan was super and made it really easy to follow along. I'm chuffed with my crochet wreath and will be making lots more. More crochet workshops please.

Sarah Rose • Dec 2023

Not really suited as a Xmas class. I prefer to have something to show at the end of my Xmas class but this is a long process item.

Joanne Atkins • Dec 2023

Kathryn carefully explains the processes and is happy to go over things again for anyone that hasn't fully understood. Really enjoyable hour spent making something for Xmas

Ian Maskell • Dec 2023

Professional, friendly and a well constructed lesson and good value for money. A good starter for beginners or a refresher for those coming back to watercolours.

Laura Steel • Dec 2023

I'm relatively new to crochet but I had no trouble following along with Kathryn's excellent instruction. I'm really proud of my finished bag and would definitely do another class in the future.

Alison • Dec 2023

A thorough overview of design space starting at the very beginning and progressing to some quite complex stuff - there's something for everyone. I'll probably do this course again once I've mastered the basics to learn about the advanced stuff again. Great value for money!

Alison • Dec 2023

A great overview to the Maker 3 with a really knowledgeable colleague - perfect for someone struggling to decide which machine or to give you confidence to get started!

Marina • Dec 2023

The workshop was great fun. Gisela explained everything super clear which made it easy to follow.

Samantha Harris • Dec 2023

Good price a d excellent kit delivered to my door a few days before hand. Course leader was friendly and full of tips. Personally found the course a little slow paced and would have benefited from more design ideas. Did all 3 baubles and enjoyed the course.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Dec 2023

Teacher was good and seemed lovely, but I really struggled with the wire, so I’m not super happy with my finished wreath

Karen Waldron • Dec 2023

Paula was very friendly and extremely informative, she made everyone feel comfortable no matter their skill or work setting and the results were fabulous!

Denise Holland • Dec 2023

I enjoyed the class and loved the wreath we made. It was quite fiddly to do and I would have liked to have gone a bit slower. We did have the choice to ask for a recording though.
To summarise a bit rushed but still enjoyed it and loved what we made.

Ann Rawlings • Dec 2023

A very enjoyable and informative session! I have done a couple of the watercolour sessions, so gradually building confidence. A very encouraging tutor. I really value the recordings of the sessions too - so I can gradually build on my skills.

Louise Hoare • Dec 2023

Chrissie was a wonderful host, she explained everything clearly and was really friendly too. I think I've found a new hobby in french knitting!

Great class and craft, really enjoyed it. Great teacher as well and the prerecorded video that’s sent out after is extremely helpful.

Melanie Gibson-Barton • Dec 2023

A fun workshop with a lovely tutor. Rugile provided lots of advice for the watercolour painting and tips about using watercolours throughout the event. The absorbing hour-long workshop ensures a complete break from life because there's nothing else to think about other than painting! - so it's really relaxing. I look forward to hearing about the new painting and drawing workshops coming for 2024.

Beryl Lidlow • Dec 2023

Christie, was very patient with me, and I enjoyed the class very much. However I was left with a task and I completed it but to my frustration I couldn't fulfil the whole task as I couldn't get registration marks to work and I forgot what I was told if they didn't work on how to do it xx
But I look forward to my next class next week

Evon Wheeler • Dec 2023

Diane Mills • Dec 2023

great class, very instructive, learned basics if design studio snd how to do different layers and colours and different types of vinyl

Susan Mills • Dec 2023

I enjoyed this workshop but I did find the pace a little fast at times. It would have been nice to have been given some ideas or shown examples of how else to use the domes not just feeling them with sequins. This workshop was good value for money.

Anna White • Dec 2023

The artisan Holly explained everything very clearly and gave tips on how to practice drawing before you start on the bauble and tips on how to use the pens. I can't wait to start on the other baubles.

Susan Harcourt-Hawkins • Dec 2023

The camera quality was poor making it difficult to see clearly what to do. Same with the pre recorded tutorial sent after the class. Better camera and less harsh lighting would improve it greatly. The lady was lovely.

As soon as we finished I had the tutorial sent to me on how to make the snowflake and present and am now addicted to quilling! I have made all these this afternoon and cant stop thinking of what I will make next! Thank you.

Natalie Newton • Dec 2023

Janine • Dec 2023

Workshop was great. Joey talked me through all the basics of Design Space in a really clear and friendly way. We took a closer look at the features I’d need to use for the projects I have in mind. Feeling much more confident to start crafting now.

Helen Boon • Dec 2023

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment on ‘star wreath’ making
Firstly the pack was delivered a couple of days before the class, good timing
It was well packed
I was pleased to get a timely reminder of the class time, thanks
The class was excellent and my wreath although a little different to yours is beautiful and has been admired by not just me but some neighbours
I love Hobbycraft materials all of good quality and certainly enough in the pack for my wreath
I have done a number of classes over the years children’s and adult

Brilliant kit arrived in post. Lesson was a bit too quick for me to follow mixing, painting then onto 2nd without finishing 1st. Pens would have been easier than paint as very fiddly with the brushes. Will enjoy finishing in my own time as there is plenty in the kit.

Angela Robinson • Dec 2023

We loved this workshop. My 10 yo did this with me too and was able to follow.

Chrissie is a fab teacher giving advice in general on the topic, not just for the class we are doing, which means we can use the skills on other projects.

Good quality supplies provided. I’ve already ordered more though as we kept on crafting after the workshop

Laura Barrett • Dec 2023

Nice to see the basics but but annoying that we had to keep going back to the start because “Karen” the seasoned veteran of courses kept going wrong - also 17 mins of who we all are wasn’t what I paid for

Really enjoyed today very much.
I had a few problems with logging in so I missed afew minutes, but the poor teacher was very helpful.
Looking forward to de-moulding the items.
One note I realised afterwards (or I could of missed it at the beginning was it is better to place the moulds on a tray or something flat in case you want to move them before they are cured.
As I have 4 cats I needed to put them safe from them, it was then that things went abit pear shaped. Lesson learned before I do any more.
Excellent clear instructions throughout the lesson. Plenty of time to ask questions & before the end of the class, again asked if anyone needed to go over anytime before we left. Thanks for your help sue

Clare • Dec 2023

Really enjoyed this workshop! Definitely a craft I will be taking up as it was really relaxing once I got the hang of it.

Liesel Batterham • Dec 2023

Very informative and fun. Lots of tips about transferable skills that can be used on other types of wreath making. I was playing 'catch up' for a lot of the lesson, so it was difficult to interact, but there's the option of a video afterwards, which is really helpful.

Samantha Dearden • Dec 2023

I found this Christmas Star Wreath workshop really enjoyable to do. I love learning new skills and techniques but the main reason I wanted to do this workshop was to wind down after some very stressful weeks and the chance to do something for myself.

I love how doing craft takes you out of all the worry and stresses of everyday life. The class tutor Paula was really lovely, helpful and checked in with everyone on a regular basis throughout the class to ensure everything was going ok and you are easily able to get involved/interactive on camera or in the chat facility throughout the class.

I loved the materials that were provided to make your Star Wreath and was given a very generous amount of product to achieve the desired outcome of your star.

I loved how we were given hints and tips throughout for many techniques used throughout and on other details that we may possibly want to add to if we wanted to be able to make it more personal after the hour allocated.

I did so by adding some cinnamon sticks to mine as I had some already and thought would look nice.

One hour is quite a short time to reach the final star look so everyone was offered the chance to get a recording of the class after if needed, I felt I did as I needed to practice the bow technique further so this was a great option to have as you can pause/rewind until you're confident in the technique.

I can't fault this online workshop and I will definitely be booking onto more workshops in the future, thank you Hobbycraft and the artisan florist Paula!

I found this incredibly difficult largely down to the awful wire provided in the kit which is very difficult to use as it keeps coming off the coil, spiralling and knotting. The artisan did warn us of this but despite her tips it was incredibly hard to stop it from happening. I will source some better quality wire and have another go using the helpful video provided after the class.

Millie, our tutor, was excellent. Lots of advice and tips about how to use the pyrography tool provided in the Hobbycraft kit. I even completed some small items by the end of the hour's on-line event. This on-line workshop has given me the encouragement I need to explore and develop this new hobby. Thank you Hobbycraft - and especially Millie!

Shirley O'Donovan • Dec 2023

I was fortunate to be the only person on this online course so it went completely at my pace. I was guided through by the lovely tutor who enabled me to produce some very cute Christmas figures. I’m very pleased with them. I now have a new skill and can display these with pride. Ran out of time to make the baubles but I’m not fussed about that.

Tutor was friendly but felt there was no attempt to connect with the participants. There were only 10 of us. There was obviously the opportunity to use the chat function but on Zoom there could have been more . Would have been fun for everyone to hold up there finished wreath too.

Janet Simms • Dec 2023

Was good though and Millie seemed very knowledgeable.

On the parts I was able to join and stay connected, the tutor was really good. She gave enough time to ask questions and for everyone to catch up. The box that was sent out, was perfect. It had two balls of very good quality wool and a crotchet hook, with the instructions. It even came with a tote bag, which is what I’ve kept my project in. I understood more by following and making mistakes.

Louise Williams • Nov 2023

What a well organised and well run workshop. There were seven of us on the workshop which was held online and we had the choice of camera on or off and mute when needed. The quality of the materials sent in advance was excellent and Chrissie explained how to use the die cutting machine and the craft materials sent. Her pace was just right - given the varied experience in the group - delivered with humour and passion and great hints and tips given. Photos of the card(s) made / feasible were also shared for future reference. An excellent workshop which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Hannah Storey • Nov 2023

The artisan was lovely and welcoming, very knowledgeable, explained things clearly with the products and answered all our questions.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Nov 2023

As a novice at sewing, I found this beginners course just the right level as all the basics of using and reading a pattern were clearly explained.

Millie was a great tutor and I learned a lot from this session. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. The quality of the supplied sketching materials was excellent, too.

Sarah Burton • Nov 2023

Really easy to follow along and the instructor was good! It was over so quickly, wish it lasted a little longer!

A nice festive workshop. Had plenty of bits to build a the wreath and have berries and ivy left over for other projects.

Rachel Rest • Nov 2023

Was just a one-on-one zoom session (I was the only participant). The workshop leader was lovely. Everything was clear and she moved at a good pace considering I was a beginner. Was such good value for nearly an hour lesson and receiving all my materials (pens, papers, and tracing paper) in the post.

Mandy Clarke • Nov 2023

Brilliant workshop, from Molly she is a really good teacher and made the whole hour interesting and fun. I am really pleased with my watercolour and look forward to trying it on my own.

Great class, easy to follow and great instructor. Can't wait to try out the craft myself

Lauren • Nov 2023

This was a nice workshop, the tutor was friendly, fun and emphasised that her demonstration was not the only way to make the calendar. She suggested many ways the item could be adapted and accessorised to the makers' personal taste and decor.
My only criticism is that the date stickers supplied in the kit are actually not very sticky for adhering to fabric and unlikely to survive much handling. I am going to try a touch of fabric paint around the stickers to leave an outline for if and when the stickers drop off.

Anne Harrison • Nov 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed the zoom lesson. Millie was really lovely. Everything was well explained and demonstrated. Thank you

Helen Taylor • Nov 2023

This was my first ever class and I thoroughly enjoyed it. 1 hour of time for just me and the class was not rushed at all.
All the instructions were very clear and was lovely to chat whilst crafting. My first ever Shaker card and I am so pleased.

Helen Chewter • Nov 2023

Great value for money with a very personable, knowledgeable and skilled tutor. Have recommended to a friend. Thank you.

Sandy Waters • Nov 2023

Thank you Kathryn. Very good pace and very clear instructions
Highly recommend as an introduction to crochet

Leslye Slater • Nov 2023

Fast paced. The teacher worked very quickly (as experienced in the art), not easy to keep up, and I think I missed a few points. Good explanation of techniques required for the projects we were making, but without the video which came later (which I was unable to open once downloaded so had to stream), I would not know how to complete the other decorations.

I did complete the project later.

Pauline Lawrence • Nov 2023

Brilliant class with Irene. Learnt so much. Very easy to understand and she was very patient with me.

Claire • Nov 2023

A good, clear teacher who covered everything in a concsice manner. Wasn't aware the resin would create flexible decorations, thought they would be rigid.
Everything we needed was in the box.
Smell not as pongy as I thought it might be.
Enough resin left to make another couple of decorations, and enough glitter & gold flakes for a very, very long time to come.
Good way to spend a Sunday morning.

Hayley Kirkman • Nov 2023

Such a great class for any beginner or someone who is learning new skills with clay

Laura • Nov 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed my pet portrait workshop, Millie and Louise were great tutors, knowledgeable, friendly and gave lots of helpful tips. I really appreciated the videos that came with the lessons which I watched after each lesson. Happy to recommend to friends and family.

Beatrix • Nov 2023

Very good and detailed introduction to using pencils to great effect. The pace and support was excellent for a beginner.

Claire • Nov 2023

I had never done a zoom class before. This was fine. I struggled with my bow so didn't complete in time to show my finished wreath. We were sent a video link for a copy of the class which I haven't had time to review my bow technique unsure how long I have to access this. I would like to try another class

Clare Kiefer • Nov 2023

This was a really lovely class. We didn't get any instructions, but the artisan was really clear and did email them afterwards. However i do struggle to follow a crochet pattern as only a beginner

Diane Matthews • Nov 2023

Explained well , didn’t feel rushed took our time. Fantastic work shop, now to get more paint pens

Sarah Durkin • Nov 2023

Really kind lady and excellent supplies and it was super duper fun. THANK YOU. (Clara age 9)

Miss Sharon E Button • Nov 2023

Lovely experience. It was my first time doing a zoom class, and making a wreath. I'm proud of my finished product.

Andrea Gavin • Nov 2023

Such a wonderful workshop- a fab introduction to the pens and great support from Rachel to help us make such pretty decorations!
Still got more to do to these designs, will come back to them once they've had a chance to dry!

Joanna Cater • Nov 2023

Learn how to crochet online course was fun and a great first lesson. The course went really quickly for an hour and a half. I have since brought a beginners book to further my knowledge.

Steve Thompson • Nov 2023

Another good course to get going quickly with a watercolour painting. I enjoyed doing this seascape and was very pleased with how it turned out for a first attempt at the subject and for what is only the second watercolour painting I've done. The first was on the landscape workshop.

Steve • Nov 2023

Good course with which to get a quick start on watercolour painting. Not something I've ever done it before but I was pleased with the end result. Well done Millie for demonstrating how to go about it.

Maria • Nov 2023

Box arrived just in time and had everything I needed. Course was just the right length. I didn't finish my sign, but now I know how to use the pyrography tool, and can take my time and do it at my own pace. The tutor was good and explained everything well.

Ann • Nov 2023

It was a really informative class, and I learned some new techniques which I can practise going forward as I paint more. I particularly liked the way Millie encouraged individual expression, by emphasising there were lots of ways to paint different features, and suggested examples. I also really value the recording sent after the class for future practise sessions. Very enjoyable!

too hard to see pencil marks, therefore difficult to follow. Would not recommend to others.

Melanie • Nov 2023

Great course. Clear instructions and, as a complete beginner, I was surprised that my picture turned out ok.

Carol Henstock • Nov 2023

My very first class online doing anything and the instructor was very patient and explained everything well she gave us a chance to ask questions and offered to show us again.

My only complaint was i had originally ordered it through the black friday sale the day before and never got my discount.

Carole Hughes • Nov 2023

A lovely box of everything to make the wreath arrived a few days before the class. The class itself was very easy to follow and at a perfect pace. We were given very clear instructions. And it’s great to have a video presentation to watch once the class has finished

Lorna Evans • Nov 2023

Emma • Nov 2023

Enjoyed this session. Friendly, cheerful tutor, gave a number of useful tips Very reasonably priced especially as you don't have to buy the kit. . I tend to do my own thing but it does make me sit down and paint which I wouldn't otherwise get round to! Always interesting to see everyone else's, too.

Marina Spiteri • Nov 2023

Really great virtual workshop. The instructor went at the perfect pace and gave us all lots of opportunities to ask questions. I was sent really high quality product in good time too. Thanks Hobbycraft!

J A Steckles • Nov 2023

It was wonderful and informative. Hannah was a very good teacher. Could do with other courses to use the rest of the board.

Patricia Hudgell • Nov 2023

I really enjoy the workshop and will cary on quilling! IT was explained very clearly and was easy to follow. I just hope my efforts turn out well.

Fiona Shanks • Nov 2023

I've loved doing it and look forward to trying the other decorations thank you

Helen • Nov 2023

Enjoyable workshop though it takes longer to make the calendar than the workshop allows so could be extended perhaps another 30mins to an hour to either suggest ideas to customise the calendar or to give time to finish. Having read other reviews I allowed myself another hour after the workshop to finish it though I might modify it further another day. Just need to fill it now!

Sharon Watson • Nov 2023

Was a little disappointed with how much was in the box on opening. I've done a few workshops before and had some spares to make more.
Enough in the box to make a traditional wreath, as described.
For me, I'll be adding a few more bits.

Mrs Mary Wishart • Nov 2023

Great class. Gisela has a lovely cheerful delivery and everything is explained and reinforced so that if you don't take in something initially you get it second time around. The information is given in a slightly different way so it's not boring. She takes time to alert the student with what could prove to be difficult parts and explains how these difficulties could be avoided or rectified. The 90 mins went by far too quickly. I really enjoyed myself and am glad that I signed up for this. I hope that there is an Intermediate Workshop.

Bernadette Smith • Nov 2023

Excellent and full of useful information. Hannah was friendly and was open to any questions.

Deborah • Nov 2023

I enjoyed making the wreath. As another person explained the glue gun was optional, but it is needed for the berries and ribbon. I also found my scissors left too much wire exposed so wire cutters would be better. Not looking too bad as unglued. Host paced/explained well and gave good tips.

Susan Boddy • Nov 2023

I loved making this Christmas wreath and it has definitely got me feeling festive! The kit was great and had everything needed to make the wreath although I would recommend getting wire cutters rather than scissors as it will make things much easier. Holly went through everything at just the right pace to complete the wreath during the class and I was very happy with my completed wreath.

Ceri • Nov 2023

Was a really good introduction to the world of FIMO (I've never used it before), and Irene was a wonderful host who answered all the questions we had. I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to finish the craft within the workshop, but was really pleasantly surprised at Irene's explanations of how long the projects can last for which means from the one workshop I've got lots of ongoing project work that I can do with the kit, so making it even more cost-effective!

I'm a newbie at art so it looked really difficult but Holly explained it really well and so it was good fun. The kit they send is fantastic and is wrapped very well.

Perfect for my first ever crafting workshop. Gisela was a perfect teacher, explained everything in very simple terms and was obviously very passionate about her art.

I think I may now be hooked on macrame

Ann James • Nov 2023

Firstly, thank you for delivering a first rate, well-planned course. Your specialists are knowledgeable , and set just the right tone for relaxed learning. And the box of materials was so nice to receive and use. I feel i have learnt so much that i can use and adapt. I think this course is a great experience, and good value for money. I will be looking out for more courses in the new year. You learn so much by being guided through projects in Design Space. 100% recommend.

Steve • Nov 2023

Good session, some good ideas mentioned. Holly was clear in the delivery. Suggestions for the future would be for people to have a pencil available, and something to hold the bauble whilst working on it, e.g. an eggcup, or a cloth.
Also would be nice if we could have a video of the session for later reference.

Gabrielle Campbell-West • Nov 2023

The artisan was good, but it was hard to see what she was doing because of the lighting over her picture. I had printed out the picture of what we were going to sketch but it was still difficult and hard to keep up because of that.
My picture didn’t end up looking like the one we were working towards but will maybe have another go with the recording.

Paul Marbaix • Nov 2023

Very pleased that there will be a recording as this was incredibly fast for a novice, however I focused more on the technique which was very informative. Now need to practice, practice, practice. Thank you Millie, you made the course enjoyable with your enthusiasm.

You can front and centre promote that all the wreath materials are hobby craft own material and not organic and give more than 24 hours notice/reminder that a glue gun was required.

Paul Marbaix • Nov 2023

I enjoyed this very much and I liked the fact that you explained the techniques and also provided a recording so that I can practice, there is so much to absorb for a newcomer to this hobby. Well done Millie

You can see I made a start during the workshop, bit slow but i'm sure I'll speed and got ideas for other words and shapes.
Thank you

Have subscribed to better. More engagement needed to check what individuals doing, never heard my name mentioned. Felt sorry for the lady who couldn’t hear Kathryn and felt like she was just left ‘hanging’. Not everyone is familiar with Teams, Class wasn’t an hour long and too much mention of Kathryn’s cat !

Gill Meiser • Nov 2023

Irene was lovely, very thorough and didn’t mind how many dumb questions I asked. On top of that she ran way over the allocated hour, which she didn’t have to do Really great value for money I wouldn’t definitely do a remote class again. Thank you Irene

Nasreen Mohammed • Nov 2023

The wreath making class was really great. My kit arrived in plenty of time with email reminder notifications. Paula was great, showing us her skills and she was happy to help along the way while dealing with all of our questions.

Good class. Very straight forward and well explained. Wish it was a bit longer so we could have done more of the elements together as the French knitting took quite a while. The video to refer back to was helpful but done differently to how it was taught which was a little confusing. You soon get the hang of it.

Unfortunately I couldn't get the sound so followed the demonstration. I have emailed you for written instructions.

Paula was fantastic on the course, she was clear with instructions and checked in with everyone to make sure everyone kept up. Paula is an asset to the Hobbycraft workshop team. Thanks for a great workshop

Sue Underwood • Nov 2023

Unfortunately I missed the workshop because of sudden family illness. The opportunity to watch a recording of it would have been much appreciated.
Otherwise, I have always enjoyed the Hobbycraft online workshops.

Kim Melville • Nov 2023

Thank you for a great Zoom class I had with Louise. My Nan taught me to crochet many many years ago. I had forgotten most of what she taught me and doing this class has helped me remember. Thank you so much.

Mary Evelyn Miles • Nov 2023

It was the first time I have tried to do this craft. I found it fun but very hard to do, and using a rubber was very helpful. I finished this off the next day and would recommend this class a 100%. Thank you.

I absolutely loved this course, Chrissie was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable giving us loads of examples of where we could use French knitting. She was patient while teaching and happily repeating things to make sure everyone knew what they were doing. She even provided a video that we could refer back to as well as her email address just in case we had any questions in the future. I would definitely recommend this course and Chrissie.

Challenging class as never made this type of wreath before. Needed some practise using the wire. Paula showed us all the techniques we needed to complete our star and also sent a video of the class. I completed my wreath the next day and am thrilled with it! Totally worth the effort. Thank you Paula xxx

Muriel Harmer • Nov 2023

I think the tutor could have slowed down a little and made sure we had completed that stage before moving onto the next stage. I found it hard to keep up with her, trying to watch the way she was demonstrating the next stage, by the time I had manage the stage, she had moved on to the next stage. Therefore I had missed some of the instructions.

Sara • Nov 2023

I really enjoyed this workshop- the lady leading it was very knowledgeable but also very patient with us, and able to advise on what we were doing and how to improve it. She showed different techniques to use, and was a very good teacher.
I found the wiring challenging but am pleased with what I have made.
Would love to try another workshop, and would recommend this workshop to others.

3 classes to draw a portrait of a puppy. The technique Rugilee used are easy to follow and because it's over 3 sessions you take a layer at a time. Everytime I went back to it, I could see an improving image finishing with shadows and texture. We'll done Rugilee for your easy approach and patience!

This course has been brilliant. The pack they send you is a joy to receive, full of everything you need. Before the course I could do some basic vinyl projects and found design space daunting. Now I can confidently create more complex projects in card, vinyl and iron on and find design space much easier to navigate. The teachers guided us through the projects each week step by step, demonstrating what to do on design space, resulting in a completed item at the end of each session. In the final session there was even time to ask questions which was really helpful. I would totally recommend this course. Thank you Hobbycraft.

Beverley Hardy • Nov 2023

Irene was very thorough and informative.
I learnt such a lot and will definitely do more courses.

Very good course, but could be difficult to understand the tutor, while she was wearing a mask.

Christina • Nov 2023

The lady hosting the workshop was very nice & easy to understand. The pace was good, but a little fast. It would have been helpful to have some bullet-point instructions to go along with the kit. As you don't have time to make the set in the class, the simple printed instructions would have been useful after too. I am not a fan of having to watch a video and having to keep pausing it after.

Alex • Nov 2023

Workshop was very informative and i felt the artisan was very knowledgeable. She was also very happy to help with any questions.
I have done 4 courses now and im very pleased with all of them. Thank you

Anonymised ClassBento student • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the class as I have not done water colouring before. The pack of paints, brushes and pad are lovely and makes sure you get the right things ready for the class. Please I could turn off the camera if I wanted. The tutor was good and explained everything well. By the end I understood the fundamentals and will try other picture now on my own.

Jane Fowler • Nov 2023

Useful intro to using Posca pens. It might have been nice to see examples of how they can be used on different surfaces, but the ceramic baubles look lovely. Unlike some of the workshops, I found this one a little slow - but enjoyable nonetheless.

Sheila • Nov 2023

Fantastic workshop tutored brilliantly by Kathryn. Spent an enjoyable hour learning how to make the crochet Christmas decoration and will be making more. Love these Hobbycraft workshops. Relaxed environment, friendly and informative with all you need to do the workshop arriving at your door beforehand and recording afterwards to use and reviewing as you need to continue making the decoration. Fantastic and would highly recommend.

I managed to produce a picture that is almost worth framing. It was good to have the list of everything required and set up ready before the class started, as it was a busy hour.

Jennie • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the workshop. Great tuition. I’m very happy with the results. Thank you

Gabrielle Campbell-West • Nov 2023

I couldn't get into zoom to start with but eventually did. I think I only missed 5-8 minutes of the workshop. It would have been great to have a recording of this workshop like we did with the landscape one I did , so we could practice after the workshop. But the person doing the workshop was good and I liked doing the painting.

Gloria Wells • Nov 2023

I'm not a beginner but bought this for myself and my sister, who is a beginner, to encourage her. The tutor, Holly's, methods were confusing for a beginner and likely to set them up with bad habits. She did a lot of 'fiddling' and kept going back into wet washes, which causes cauliflowers. Her mountains were painted as a row of sharply pointed triangles, which looked very unrealistic and childish. It's just as easy to paint irregular, sloping shapes and build good habits straight away. Having said that, it did get people painting and my sister and other participants did produce a picture.

Georgia Mussellwhite • Nov 2023

Very good fun- really made it easy to understand and a new skill learnt. Very lovely woman running it.

It was a little harder following the instructions and doing it at the same time and occasionally I realised that though I was listening I wasn’t looking .
I did enjoy the lesson and did feel that I learnt something from the sessions that I will try again

Donna Murray-Wheeler • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the workshop. I’ve been to a couple of workshops taught by Paula and she is a great teacher - very patient and goes through things clearly.

Ann • Nov 2023

Enjoyable course and well presented. Lots of ideas provided to personalise the wreath. Thank you

Ian McLeod • Nov 2023

Had a 1 hour lesson with the lovely Joey. She answered my questions in 5 minutes flatquestions that I have been searching answers for, for ages So the rest of the time Joey managed to give me a crash course on the design software and gave some great tips. She made it all look so easy and the best thing about it was that by the end of the lesson I could do it easily too. Think that is down to her teaching skills more than my abilities.
Many thanks Joey for your help and no doubt I will be coming back again for more lessons.

An enjoyable recap on pyrography and a range of techniques were shown. I used a sheet of carbon paper which wasn't provided to help me get the design into the wood which worked well. I still need to complete this project but have all the tools to do so thanks to the class and video provided.

Yvonne • Nov 2023

This was a very relaxing class and took me back to my childhood experiences of french knitting but this time with a purpose! The kit had lots of yarn and all the tools to create several items. The class was a good pace and the follow up video means I can spend more time outside the class to finish it off correctly. Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning.

It felt a bit rushed, could have done with more time. Also lighting could have been better, too much shadow which prevented seeing what Louise was doing.

Paul Marbaix • Nov 2023

Found it difficult to follow the guidehance and undertake the painting as well, perhaps because I am a man and can't do two things at once. It would have been nice to have had the picture we were trying to follow emailed to have something to practice.

Susan Pendleton • Nov 2023

I had never even heard of French Knitting! I thought the kit was excellent. I had a practise during the week as I had never done this before; I had some questions for the Artisan and she gave me some very useful tips and advice. I think the workshops are really good value and the people who run them are great.

Abby Walker • Nov 2023

Irene was lovely! Very patient and friendly. Lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Good value kit!

Also would have been better to have known gloves would be beneficial. Didn’t see it in the stuff before.

Really enjoyed this, many thanks to Holly. I was slightly concerned at the start that precious time was going to be wasted on helping people get on-line and to get the right view of the lesson etc. But Holly managed this very well and only spent a short time on this and only a quick run through of the materials which were needed…after all these were clearly detailed in the email sent with the course link…and you can check all your Zoom settings before the class so as not waste the other participants’ time.
A great fun, relaxing lesson and I was very pleased with what I achieved in such a sort time and I learnt a lot. Will definitely be doing other similar classes. Will continue to improve my first ever painting Thank you!

Tracey Dorrington • Nov 2023

Class was very informative, but the host did waffle a lot. The workshop description stated that we needed a glue gun, so I plugged mine in as we started, but it was not required.

Ellie Price • Nov 2023

Needs to be half an hour or so longer so that you can finish the wreath with the opportunity for advice. Instructor friendly and knowledgeable. Need the kits further in advance- I couldn't finish my wreath as the metal wreath vase was bent and the replacement hasn't been delivered yet.

Lydia Harrison • Nov 2023

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

The resources we were sent in the post were really good, good quality items and lots of clay. The class itself was good, but I felt too much time (half the lesson) was spent mixing colours, this means we didn’t get much time to work on the technique and we didn’t get shown how to make them in to jewelry.

Joan Nelson • Nov 2023

Good introductory class. Explained clearly the fundamentals needed. It would be good if the kit included a picture of what the end result we re aiming for looks like!

Joanne Lethbridge • Nov 2023

I really enjoyed the class but I felt that it should have been longer to allow us to finish the project up to the point where you are ready to bake it. The person doing the session was lovely though and explained everything clearly.

This was a brilliant workshop as I hadn't used a French knitting doll since childhood and certainly had little idea what to do with what I had made! Our teacher Kathryn was excellent and her tips for success really helped. You don't complete anything in the session but I am just about to create the word joy as I thread the wire through the knitted tube. You do need wire cutters and this should have been mentioned in the initial wesbsite workshop information.

The artisan teacher gave lots of tips and tricks throughout the course and I particularly liked learning how to hold and use the wood burning tool to get lots of different effects and finishes. 5 ⭐️

Sarah • Nov 2023

Really good class, well explained and demonstrated. Materials arrived in good time. Successful wreath created!

Tracey Dudgeon • Nov 2023

Instructor was fabulous. So patient and presented at a good pace.
I was troubled with the short cable on the wood tool provided, it isn't long enough to work at a standard table height. This posed a few problems and may be worth changing for the future. The time was a little to short to complete the sign, so I completed this afterwards. I and others only managed half if the sign in the allocated time.

Our instructor was very unhappy and has said she will send this via email. Also I was slower because I drew freehand and needed another half hour. But enjoyed and will do another course.

Lovely workshop and a lovely project with decent materials (generally) that were delivered in plenty of time. However, the bullion wire tangled so easily off the reel that it was difficult to work with, and hence I found it really hard to keep up with the tutorial. Paula was a good instructor with a friendly manner, but it was a little hard to see the necessary intricate detail, such as wiring onto the frame. Suggest pre-instructions should specify you need wire cutters - scissors just don't cut it Also, specify not to open the wire before the lesson and instruction how to do it.

Amanda Vale • Nov 2023

The teacher never logged on . After contacting HobbyCraft they said they couldn’t contact them either so it didn't go ahead

I was lucky enough to be the only person booked on the class. Emma was fantastic, giving tips on different types of shading and guiding me with my drawing. Although I didn’t finish the piece during the session, I have enjoyed using the techniques to complete a lovely final project. Would definitely recommend.

Some classes I have been sent a video after so could use this to finish off but not with this one which is a shame

Sally Cook • Nov 2023

Great workshop. It was quite fiddly getting the wire to do what I wanted. Spent more time watching than participating as was interested in the techniques which will now allow me to finish my wreath at my pace

Chloe Westerman • Nov 2023

Really fun class. A lot to take in but really enjoyed it. The tutor was very knowledgeable and personable.

Moira • Nov 2023

Good, clear instructions, especially for beginners like me. I am pleased with the variety of materials provided, which will enable me to practise further before Christmas. Needed plenty of water and tissues to clean brushes, and I had a palette from a previous workshop for mixing colours.

Lesley Magasiner • Nov 2023

Good class but really was not long enough as there was only time for introductions and to make one decoration. The description did say decorations plural and it would have been nice to have been able to make another

Vicky • Nov 2023

The lady on the zoom was far to fast she didn’t give chance for us to catch up it wasn’t a relaxing easy going class it felt very rushed. Maybe this needs to be long to avoid having to rush or even if there was a video with this so you can just go at a resonable pace and catch up later

Julie Cowell • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the class, the advent calendar looks great in my wall. Not too difficult to do too. Thank you

Paula was so knowledgeable and passionate that it was such a pleasure being taught by her. She regularly checked in with us and managed to pitch the course to accommodate everyone’s abilities. Her vast experience with numerous craft along with her extensive wreath making abilities meant she had lots of examples of how we can personalise our advent wreaths as well as great troubleshooting tips. The kit itself was beautiful and there was lots of extra ribbon and string for future projects. Thanks for a great hour of crafting fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very clear with easy to follow instructions. Responded positively to any questions or confusion. Enjoyable workshop leaving me with a feeling of confidence and enthusiasm to continue crocheting!

Evie • Nov 2023

I found this session incredibly helpful! I came into this session as someone who has never owned a cutting machine and was completely lost on what machine would be perfect for me. Fortunately, I had a lovely artisan who was so helpful and friendly. She was very patient with me asking questions about each cutting machine she was showing me and helped guide me towards a couple that were more beginner-friendly. I came out of this session confident that I knew which cutting machine I would be purchasing and would highly recommend everyone to sign up for this workshop if you are thinking of getting a cutting machine.

Lovely teacher, Chrissie. She was very thorough and patient, went through everything several times and was happy to go over things as much as was needed. I really enjoyed this class and liked the fact I could be at home too. I will definitely be doing other Hobbycraft classes.

Sarah Turner • Nov 2023

Good teacher and nice materials (I don’t feel adding a bit of masking tape to the materials sent out would have been expensive though)

Anonymised ClassBento student • Nov 2023

Emma • Nov 2023

Very well paced and explained. Tutor Emma was on it from the off and pitched it just right

Karen Gowland • Nov 2023

Quite a stressful experience. Difficult to watch the video and keep up with the steps. If you did the task you missed the next step.
Struggled to complete the task, struggled to remove the paper, struggled to cut the wires on the decorations, needed the help of a second person to sort out the binding wire and keep an eye on the next task.
The Instructor said that it was a difficult workshop, perhaps this should be advertised on the website. Feel it would have been a better experience as an in-store workshop.

Nichola Loxley-Jones • Nov 2023

Such a simple yet effective use of French knitting. The instructors instructions were clear to follow and they went through the process a few times to make sure everyone was happy. The video was an added bonus for after the course as a support. Would recommend this course.

A good course and very pretty outcome. Advent calendar wreath is nicely designed. Ribbon tying didn't quite go as nicely as the tutors, a video how to do would be quite helpful because they look fabulous done properly. Highly recommended.

Shamima Dawood • Nov 2023

Kathryn was amazing -she was very patient and gave clear instructions at every stage of the demonstration. At the end we learnt three different types of crochet stitches and how to make a crochet square. I would definitely book again!

Mrs Emma Tulloch • Nov 2023

Great class. Lots of fun. A good way to try something new ! Would recommend thanks

Emilie • Nov 2023

The class was awesome and so was Michelle. She was super friendly and explained everything so well. It was easy to interrupt and ask for any step to be explained or demonstrated again. I would just say two minor things: this was quite fast for this wreath, which would probably deserve another 15 mins of workshop, or less introductory chat at the beginning. The amount of eucalyptus provided is possibly insufficient to produce a wreath as dense as the one in the picture. I would suggest adding one extra stem of eucalyptus to the package.

Tracey Palmer-Hole • Nov 2023

This is the 2nd workshop with Irene and both this one and beginners guide to cricut was brilliant. After my first session with Irene, I booked 3 more different courses.
Engaging, patience and passionate about crafting.
Highly recommend these courses.

Christine Rowe • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the wreath making workshop and am satisfied with the end result. Your member of staff (Rachel) was very clear with her instructions. The materials she had to hand, however, were different to those we, the participants, had; much less ribbon and the faux ivy was all plastic with no wire to assist with malleability.

This was a really great and fun class. In the hour we learnt how to create both earring types and made a great start. It takes a fair bit of time after the class to finish creating them but a helpful video from Irene means that you can always come back to it if needed. There was ample fimo in the kit to create lots more earrings afterwards so it was really good value. Many thanks for a lovely Sunday morning!

Carole • Nov 2023

Lisa Steel • Nov 2023

I have never crocheted before, so was quite convinced that I would really find it a struggle. However, Chloe’s kind demeanour put me at ease and with her calm instructions I managed to complete the stitches. It was a great first lesson with Hobbycraft.

Chloe was amazing. It was small workshop but meant she could give detailed explanation and answer questions. Didn’t feel rushed. Really felt I learnt something

A fabulous class, most enjoyabe and a great teacher. I only made one candle, but am really happy with how it turned out and will

Nicola Williams • Nov 2023

I absolutely LOVE this art tutor, I’ve had her several times and she is so knowledgeable, kind and patient.
Can’t recommend these classes enough, been on many and they have helped me to develop my skills.

I enjoyed this class although I did feel that maybe there would be a few more flowers/decorations for the wreath, this would then hide the ring more. It could also incorperate some ideas as to what we could put into the bags.
I think a little more colour would go really well for the calender to make it more interesting, also maybe make the class last for an hour and a half, giving time to take more time with the decorating.

Linda Crispin • Nov 2023

It was very good. Chloe was great and very helpful. I enjoyed it and will do some more

Jade • Nov 2023

Great class, Paula was lovely, she explained everything in detail and went at a pace to suit everyone which was great as I was slow at some parts Very happy my wreath and would definitely try more classes now!

Rosie Fletcher • Nov 2023

Fantastic class! Host really great and materials good quality! Would highly recommend this to others.

Karen Merton • Nov 2023

Paula was an absolutely fantastic tutor, explaining everything clearly and going over anything that anyone queried. It was lovely to get ideas to make the wreaths more personal and how we can add natural products, which I love. Paula has certainly ignited a passion in me for making wreaths!

I am making my wreath tomorrow as I did not have the workspace to do it whilst on my PC, and after this lesson I feel more than capable of doing it with my extensive notes to assist me.

Thank you Paula!

Mary Waddoups • Nov 2023

Paula was amazing at giving us clear instructions and waiting for those of us that were a little slower! I’m very happy with the outcome of my first ever wreath!

This is definitely been one of my favourite classes, and I was so happy woth the results. So simple and so effective! The teacher was really helpful and patient too.

Only loses one star because the fake flowers provided were not the same as the teacher had, and they couldn't be used as they left little bits stuck in the clay that I had to pick out. I wish I'd had the better flowers, but still produced lovely little bowls,

Ivy Miles • Nov 2023

Ah, we had so much fun woth this one! Great teacher, and really happy woth the results. We tried a few different etchniques and I never would have been brave enough to try this at home, so it was really good to have a go in-store and get messay! I could have done this all day!

I had a lovely evening completing this. It did make it a bit tricky being online as I like on the spot feedback but the tutor was clear, encouraging, very knowledgeable and supportive. It didn't matter if you made mistakes because you're in your own home trying something new. I know the next painting classes I've booked are going to be top quality!

Mrs E Masterson • Nov 2023

This was a very useful class on watercolour technique. I haven't used watercolours for years and found the class very helpful in refreshing my memory and practicing new techniques specific to skies/clouds.

Diane Fraser • Nov 2023

This workshop was really good. Rugilee was an excellent teacher. She covered so many techniques right at the beginning in a very visual way which she suggested we note down. This was great for reference though she demonstrated each stage as we participated. I thought the timing and pace was perfect. I am going to love working in pen and ink.

Susan Proctor • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed this course. Chrissie was great and answered all our questions. I really enjoying doing this and hoping at the end mine will look something like the picture! So keen I purchased the 3 in 1 pliers today which will be better than scissors. Thank you Chrissie.

Mrs Cheryl Cowling-Cass • Nov 2023

Chrissie our instructor was fabulous. Very engaging and happy to go over steps multiple times.

Sue McCamlie • Nov 2023

Great tutorial took time to explain everything and gave us plenty of time to catch up if needed. Gave helpful hints on how to make the wreath individual. Especially good for beginners

Sarah Butcher • Nov 2023

Really enjoyed the workshop. Chloe was lovely and explained everything really well. I have never picked up a crochet hook before, so a complete beginner and Chloe explained things so well that I picked it up quite quickly. Our group was large and some seemed to pick things up quicker than others, so it was difficult to keep up at times for slower people like me. For a group our size more time would have been beneficial as we only just managed to quickly cover treble crochet at the end. Would definitely recommend this workshop.

Tanya Coleman • Nov 2023

Clear instructions and easy to follow. Products were of good quality and I am very happy with the end result.

Sam Ramplin • Nov 2023

Very friendly and informative - covered the basics well. Good demonstration. Answered any questions that were asked.

Heidi Turnbull • Nov 2023

Chrissie was really good and explained everything really well. A great ambassador for Hobbycraft, feel a lot more confident now about using it for the first time.

Frances Owen • Nov 2023

Having already done the Skyscape Zoom session, I was hoping to develop that to include a landscape. However, most of the session and the paper was repeating the skyscape techniques with landscape being a final afterthought. What about hills, trees, buildings, etc?

This was my least favourite workshop I've attended sadly, it was only one hour long, trying to teach a new technique as well as how to make the craft. My knitting fell off the doll just before the "how to put it altogether part" ten minutes before the end, so I'm now waiting for the video to work out how to cast on again. Thankfully, I know this will be sent to us. The artisan was lovely, did show me how to cast on in the session twice and had great chat. I'm just disappointed that this is a workshop I've not came away with a nearly finished product.

Lizzie Varley • Nov 2023

Really good. Good instructions and the use of the overhead camera was great so you can see what’s going on. A lovely way to start a Sunday morning

Julia Sansom • Nov 2023

Chrissie is amazing. I've done a few workshops over the years and they've all been with Chrissie. The session was fun, interactive and the demos were really clearly shown and explained, even when it was a little fiddly. I might have found a new hyperfixation with this session!

Mary Haggett • Nov 2023

An excellent Watercolour class, very relaxing and a nice pace to keep up with. Equipment arrived in plenty of time and is a good set. It was fantastic when others shared their paintings too.

Sarrina Stephens • Nov 2023

The workshop was more advance than what I thought. The pace of the course was a bit too fast for beginners. I could see the teacher was experienced and good crochet, if I considered going for another workshop again it would have to be a one to one.

Elaine • Nov 2023

Informative and fun class. Gentle and easy to follow guidance. Able to go at our own pace. Paula was very helpful throughout the session which helped me as a total beginner level.

Jade • Nov 2023

Though the picture was not hard to draw. It was very difficult to see what she was drawing start with without being sent the picture first, which is happened in other classes.
Not a bad class

I have booked some more Christmas workshops and can't wait for the next one!

I am very proud of my granny square which I was able to complete after the workshop especially as I had previously attended another crochet workshop and wasn't able to finish the project. This one made far more sense. Thank you so much Louise.

I found this workshop difficult to follow. I could only access zoom on my mobile so found it difficult to see the reference drawing in detail.
If you do want to do this workshop online I would recommend having access to a bigger screen eg TV or computer. Otherwise I think you will struggle.

Caroline McLean • Nov 2023

A wonderful relaxing clay pottery session. Rugilee was very helpful, always checking we were ok and went at just the right pace. The package of materials sent prior to the workshop were brilliant.

Susan Fisher • Nov 2023

It was ok, but for someone who is completely new to making clothes I found it was too fast. It would have been good to see an example of cutting a shape.

Still not confident in reading a pattern, but maybe practice would help. Christie has said that we can contact here for advice, so that was good.

Julie Ray • Nov 2023

Learnt some good things from this online class and the host was very welcoming. Feel a bit more confident now to look at basic sewing patterns.

Great teacher Millie, great pack in advance too and a very fast enjoyable hour. The only reason it drops a star is for the naff boats in the picture we were painting, I swapped them out for rocks as they spoiled the picture (personal opinion)

Brilliant class, Kathryn is an amazing tutor who takes her time to be clear and ensure everyone is comfortable. I found the stitches a little tricky in the first lesson but with the video recording sent afterwards I was able to become more confident with the stitches. I have decided to make more sunflower squares and create a blanket. I have started a colourful version to make into a bag (using yarn left over from the granny square blanket course!). Highly recommend this workshop and the 6 week granny square workshop too.

Class was good, very clear instructions, and the lady was very patient. I followed all her instructions but then realised when I finished my painting where I had made some mistakes. I picked up a few things I did not know about watercolour painting. All in all a first class class!

Kirstin Tate • Oct 2023

Well paced, easy to follow session. An hour and a quarter passed by so quickly. Enjoy doing more Lino and more sessions.

Bethany • Oct 2023

Our teacher was incredibly enthusiastic, and very focused on making sure that each one of us was confident in our work. This is my third Hobbycraft class so far, and most teachers just log on, start working, tell you to copy them and ask if you have any questions. Chrissie (I think it was), checked if we were all happy with our work before continuing and was happy to start from scratch when we needed it. Very supportive, and a very lovely person. Made the class a dream. Thank you for all your help! - Bethany

Toni Wilbourne • Oct 2023

Helen Crossland • Oct 2023

Kathryn was a great host explained everything in great detail. I'm new to this style of crochet I normally do toys so I learnt a lot of new stitches and techniques. Thank you for the lovely class. It would be nice to be told week 2 is on same link I'm new to zoom and had a technical issue week I which I managed to sort out and panicked week 2 because I hadn't heard anything or got a link for class. I emailed Kathryn who replied promptly with a link. So panic over and thoroughly enjoyed

Caroline Byron • Oct 2023

It was my first experience of doing lettering/ calligraphy, and found it easy to follow the tutors instructions plus having the guide sheet helped a lot. Doing the lettering alongside the tutor was very helpful as she explained the technique really well.akso opportunity to ask questions as we went along was good. Having her email is good to be able to receive some tips she spoke about in the class. Great experience! Thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you

Linda • Oct 2023

Kathryn is so talented at crochet - and a wonderful teacher. She's a real inspiration.
I've learned a lot in a short time - and had fun in the process.

Margaret Thomas • Oct 2023

The teacher was great - very friendly and offered plenty of opportunities to ask questions, though very few people did. I was surprised at how much we managed to make in the hour (four different items) and she certainly passed on a lot of tips. I have had a go with air-dried clay before but this has made me realise what I was doing wrong and where I can improve. It was very good value, considering the number of items sent in the kit on top of the clay.

Penny Crane • Oct 2023

I’m very much a beginner with watercolours and found this a bit fast paced. At the time I wasn’t very happy with the results but looking back at them after a couple of days I am a bit happier. I do need more practice though.

Lynn Day • Oct 2023

I really enjoyed this class, it was very relaxing and the pace is good.
I received my kit in plenty of time with all the information I needed.

Lesley Allman • Oct 2023

Chrissie was Patient and passed on helpful advice, I had tried learning on my own before doing the online course I am so glad I did as chrissie answered all questions and put my worry at bay would highly recommend.

Chantel • Oct 2023

Great class, well paced and given enough knowledge to not only complete wreath but different ideas and designs I could use which made me want to make another with the other techniques I learnt. I have loads of products left and more than enough skills to make other creations. It got "my creative juices flowing". Also a very experienced teacher with miles of knowledge and paused often to check on us individually, very supportive and passionate.

Doing a lesson,I’m glad I did it I’m on my way, to learn more,
Thank you so much Irene Artisan.

Lynsey Kate Rees • Oct 2023

Really enjoyed this online class, clear concise instructions, think it helped I had attended a beginners crochet course with hobbycraft previously but not essential as every stitch is explained really well, all kit provided via post

Susan Price • Oct 2023

Enjoyed a lot. Managed to keep up, as our instructions were given at a leisurely pace with time to concentrate. The extra tips were great. The kit itself was amazing value and with the knowledge from Paula I am surprized I had such a great workshop. Would recommend to anyone as Paula had her eye on us all and was quick to answer questions and sort out late comers ( that could happen to me in future ). A very productive and enjoyable hour and a half. Thank you Hobbycraft, Derwent and Paula.

Rachel was lovely and put the group at ease. She took the time to find out about our background to sewing so she knew how to pitch the session. Would 100% recommend this to other people.

Janet Grant • Oct 2023

Chrissie provided us with a lot of useful information that was really helpful. Would certainly recommend this workshop if you are a complete beginner like me.

I was hoping for a normal skyscape, perhaps a sun or moon. Quite disappointed.
You need to tell us beginners what terms like blend mean how to? Could do with leaving the finished sky visible so you know what you are aiming for.

Well presented and ongoing explanation of technique by presenter. Thanks.
However, not happy with the resulting dabbley blue sky doesn't look realistic.

Technique for clouds valuable and colours used interesting. Perhaps second painting could have demonstrated a different type of cloud technique?

The course tutor was very good but sadly it was the fact that I had a problem with the sound, which I stress was not your fault. However I was able to follow the instructions based on my knowledge to date. I was able to keep up with the lesson. She suggested that I could do the lessons again but I am happy with the improvement I have made. I missed the last few minutes today I am happy with the information she gave on drawing the eyes and the fur. Thank you for the pleasure you will have given me for my future projects.

I love you get a full kit with plenty of materials to get you started and after the workshop I still have enough left to do more. The tutor clearly explained every step at a pace to match mine and the end results were beautiful. I would definitely recommend!

Penny Crane • Oct 2023

I don’t have much experience in watercolours and thought it would be useful to get some more input. I have to be honest, I found the pace rather fast. But what I found really useful was to re-watch the session(same subject but with a different teacher) the following day and, although that version was completed in 3/4 of the time of the original session, I found it more useful. I was happier with my second effort burn the that’s the benefit of practice. And I must carry on doing that! My second effort is below.

Sophia Burley C/o Wofm • Oct 2023

If there was one suggestion it would be to make the class longer so that we don't have to rush as much and take more time to take in information.

Ann Wallace • Oct 2023

Paula explained the stages well, she check stepped that no-one was falling behind and when we did, she made allowance for others to catch up. I've never done anything like this before and I really enjoyed the experience and was so pleased with my result - I would like to have seen everyone's efforts on the day out of curiosity. I think, for it to be comfortable, the time should be 1hr 15mins (currently 1hr) though Paula did go beyond the 1hr for the benefit of us.

Paula McManus • Oct 2023

Emma was so easy to follow and at just the right pace. Some very interesting things learned about how to create the various effects. Time passed so quickly, but the end result was encouraging. Glad I took the course, and it was very therapeutic, as we were under no pressure, but we did produce something pretty by the end of the session.

The kit provided arrived in plenty of time for the online class, and it contains extra ink, paper and lino, so you can make more prints after the class. During the class everything was explained clearly and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I really enjoyed the session and the 90 minutes flew by; I will definitely be doing more lino printing.

What a brilliant way to start pen and ink drawing. My artisan was lovely, explained everything clearly as our drawings progressed. Definitely something I will keep doing and would love to extend my skills further after some practice. I started with no experience of pen and ink drawing and produced a beautiful piece of art. I would recommend it to everyone. If it interests you, give it a go! Thank you Rugile, I have learned so much from you.

Absolutely brilliant! Kathryn explained everything very clearly and it was easy to follow along. I loved that we also got notes and videos emailed over to us, so we could refer back in our own time.
I finished the body of my bag a couple of hours after our last lesson, with just the straps left to do.
I'm so happy with what I achieved over the 2 weeks. I have now booked onto the longer 6 week blanket course and can't wait to start.

Millie is such a lovely, gentle person and I really enjoyed all three classes. I found her drawing techniques interesting and easy to follow, consequently ended up with a drawing I feel quite pleased with! More than this, I now feel more confident in attempting further pet portraits and hope to develop a skill.

As well as the lessons, I found it very helpful to be sent recordings of each class so that I could rewatch them in my own time and catch up with my drawing between classes and at the end of the course.

I would recommend the course to anyone who feels like having a go and so easy in the comfort of your own home where no-one is watching! The equipment provided is sufficient, although I did purchase an eraser pencil which I found more useful than a putty eraser. I think the course is value for money.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Oct 2023

Millie was a lovely teacher and it was a lot of fun. I'm not the best at painting so I couldn't grasp some of the techniques immediately but I think with some practice maybe! Loved the range of colours used rather than just blue, grey, yellow etc.

A thoroughly enjoyable and absorbing class. Millie the tutor gave an explanation of how to plan a landscape drawing that I will be able to apply to future drawings. She explained and demonstrated the use of the pencils and a technique for mark making that I will be able to use for my own drawings. The hour's lesson with Millie was well paced, interesting, with lots of tips and I achieved a drawing of my own by the end of the lesson. A always with Hobbycraft workshops, the hour's focus on producing an art work leaves no room for 'other stuff' in my head - which is really relaxing! I would most certainly recommend this workshop.

Zoey Leach • Oct 2023

Chrissie was super friendly and personable. I felt at ease quickly and she hyped me up for why I need the help to launch my own clothing line. Got me from clueless with my silhouette cutter to heat pressing my first tester. I will certainly book another to learn more about what’s capable.

Irene explained the steps clearly but the class could have done with being half an hour longer as the flowers took a while to master. Irene sent a great video after the class which was helpful to finish the earrings off after they had baked.

Kathryn was brilliant, couldn't fault her at all.

But I was disappointed that an instruction sheet wasn't provided by Hobbycraft in the pack. Luckily Kathryn kindly provided us with one she designed up herself. Personally I find it helpful to refer too an instruction sheet as well as having the recordings it helps those new to crocheting become familiar with written 'crochet language', so I'd highly recommend hobbycraft to consider providing both formats.

Thank you again Kathryn, I've made this to gift to my mum for her birthday this week, I've thoroughly enjoyed your pattern and teaching process.

I really liked it but wish some of it was informed prior to the class such as how to use the glue gun and to split down all of the materials - time was spent discussing and doing this and I personally would rather have more time discussing techniques and arranging the wreath. I’m glad I bought extra materials to make the wreath more ‘my own’ although the teacher did have a lot of knowledge, was really friendly and has lots of great information to share!

Kathryn (my teacher) was really patient and encouraging, and she explained the stitches really clearly. It was a small group session, so it was really comfortable to ask questions and we got a lot of individual attention as needed. I wasn't sure how it would work online but there was a great camera/Zoom set up so I could see really clearly and easily. Once I have practiced some more I will definitely be joining one of the other crochet classes!

This was yet another excellent online course from Hobbycraft and really good value for money (the yarn provided may make two bags). Kathryn the tutor led the sessions really well, was patient and gave clear explanations and demonstrated what was required. The finished product would make a lovely gift. I have recommended the course to my friends.

I had no experience of crocheting but had attended the two in store basic crocheting courses which helped prepare me for this course. I absolutely loved the course which was great value for money - I couldn't believe the quantity of yarn, hooks etc I received. Louise our tutor demonstrated what was involved and gave clear explanations. She was so patient and gave excellent answers to answered all our queries. The video links we received after each session were extremely helpful. I have recommended the course to many of my friends.

I was fairly new to crochet and found the course beneficial as I didn’t really understand patterns before. Kathryn explained everything and was available by email if you got a little confused. Highly recommend the course and found the video of what you did each week helped to consolidate the new stitches.

Also good that you can buy just the tutorial as I did. Felt that it was abit rushed, so maybe extend it to 1 hour 15 minutes?
Butterfly turned out ok as I have not done 3d drawing before. I'm sure that with more practice the pictures will be better.

Wendy • Sep 2023

It was enjoyable and very intricate and quite mindful too. I showed my finished butterfly ( half black and half white)… but i will keep it as is, to remind myself of the process- a great after work activity

Irene gave clear instructions, the kit was excellent and it was good not to have to pay for a glue gun when I already had one. Great video sent afterwards which allowed me to finish the wreath at my pace as I didn't finish in the class,

The class was fine as was my previous class with acrylics. No complaints. However, I was disappointed with this voucher as a gift. The idea is great but the choice very limited. I have been sewing, knitting and crocheting all my life, so these options were not tempting. My main hobby is card making, and I found nothing relevant to this. The Swansea shop offerings seem to be child orientated. To use the gift I did two painting classes, they were interesting but my usual medium is oils and I couldn’t find anything using them in the hobbycraft offerings.

Tutor was really good
Explained everything clearly.
Unfortunately I could not make anything.
I was set up in my bedroom but didn't realise everything had to left for 24 to 48 hrs with fumes.
So I just took some notes and will make in my own time in the garage.
Many thanks Hobby Craft

Thoroughly enjoyable workshop with Paula as our artisan. Paula led the class at a good pace and made sure that we were all keeping up, so no one was left behind. Very pleased with my autumn season wreath and look forward to enlisting in further workshops - thanks again Paula!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Sep 2023

A great class! My Mam and I really enjoyed ourselves. Paula really took her time and everything was easy to follow. We’re so chuffed with how our wreath turned out! We’ll definitely be booking onto more classes in the future :)

Kathryn was a great instructor and it was very easy to follow the steps. Nothing was rushed and she was happy to go back over a step if someone was struggling or had missed something.

Perfect place to start if you've never tried crochet before as you get everything delivered to start stitching, plus print out instructions to use in future if you ever need a reminder of the basic stitches involved. I have been off work due to sickness for the past few months and needed something to give me some routine, distraction and to ultimately feel productive - I have never tried crochet before starting this class a few months ago but since then I have taken the granny square workshop, the six week blanket course and most recently the sunflower bag course. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending any of the crochet workshops to others wanting to learn how to crochet, and Kathryn in particular is an amazing tutor who is patient, very friendly and explains things very clearly.

Sarah • Sep 2023

Ideal for beginners and very easy to follow - if you've never tried crochet before this is the perfect place to start, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this course to other novices.

Had a magnificent Lino printing class with my tutor who was extremely knowledgeable. Had the best time learning this new skill and it’s so fantastic to now be able to create my own designs and stamps in the future. The photo shows the pre designed artwork which came in the kit. (My kit accidentally got damaged in the post and my ink was affected but I was still able to create a selection of prints.)

Chrissie see you on the Christmas one . thank you Hobbycraft

Millie was friendly and explained clearly and made sure she gave time to cover the techniques. And give advice to questions asked. I have done watercolour before, but found that following along gave an incentive to do it (although didn't finish yet) and painting with others helps to get you going, so would like to seek more opportunities to do this.

Susan Proctor • Sep 2023

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

The lady running the class was very good explaining everything and giving reasons for what she was doing. However the fault lies with me - I think art needs a delicate touch and I was too heavy in my brush work so not looking as it should have done. I left early and am going to have another try with the video that has been sent. I think I definitely need to use less paint on brush etc. Nevertheless I really enjoyed taking part.
On my screen righthand side I could see 3 other members of the group and couldn't seem to change it so I couldn't see what teacher was using in the paint box - only a small thing and probably to do with me rather than you.

Rachel Walton • Sep 2023

Really enjoyable class, can't wait to try and do another with Millie. Pace was really good. Just a shame for Millie there wasn't more feedback at the end but I think we were all concentrating on finishing our pictures!

Another really fun class, very much enjoyed it and learned some more techniques. Unlike the Skyscape one this did feel a bit more rushed, but we were trying to do more. The class is long enough to learn how to do the reference picture, but I think you'd want to spend another hour with it to do it justice.

I enjoyed this course and Millie explained well what we were doing and answered any questions that the group asked. however I would prefer to get the picture sent with the materials, I feel that whilst I do have a preinter I find it doesn't always print for me and I wonder what would happen to others who do not have a printer.

The workshop was very well presented and delivered at a good pace. The camera angle was perfect to observe the techniques used and the project and subject made it seem very achievable, even for a novice water-colourist. The recording sent after the event means I will be able to undertake my project at my pace. I will definitely sign up for another workshop.

David Metcalfe • Sep 2023

An enthusiastic teacher who was knowledgeable, explained well, and worked at a pace which I could manage comfortably. I felt it was more of a sky scape than seascape session bearing in mind the the time spent on each part of the picture.

Anonymised ClassBento student • Sep 2023

Took class for seascape. Simple enough to follow along. Instructor relaxed and nice. Probably could do with an extra half hour to pause and check in with participants and answer any questions they may have and finish the painting. A bit rushed at end with the instructor saying you can finish that bit off in your own time.

The materials provided were good and there is still leftover for future projects. Is great for see if this craft is for you and a relaxing and fun exeecise that sparks creativity.

I left mine soaking for 12h before rising as I did not have time to wait longer due to obligations. However it still came out great and was exiting to reveal the patterns. My swirl one did not have enough ink, but I am still happy with it.

It was run slightly differently to previous crochet workshops which had just one artisan and was more interactive. This format had 2 sttisans with doing a demonstration and participants typing questions into the chat box which another artisan answered.

I dropped 2 stars because no written instructions were included with the kit. A star was added because Kathryn sent videos afterwards of a full demo of each class which was really helpful.

As always all of the artisans were friendly and helpful. I recommend workshop.

4 stars because I purchased the kit and during the session as I was wiping my brush, the gold bit of the brush detached from the wooden stick. Never had this with other brushes I've purchased in the past but the class otherwise was good.

Great little class. Some parts went a little fast but we had a video link sent after with a similar class on it to watch again. Which I intend to watch and try this again.

David Dodds • Sep 2023

It might help if a copy of the picture we were to work on could be sent as an attachment with the workshop information. That would allow me to refer to it at any point during the workshop rather than only when it is on the screening

Good session - a lot to cover in an hour, but I feel that I learn so much about the techniques to use and I can definitely see an improvement in my skills.

Gill Green • Sep 2023

I really enjoyed the beginners crochet class. Chloe was a fabulous teacher and was easy to follow.
It’s surprising how quickly the 90 mins go!
Zoom was easy to use and there’s no pressure to have your camera on if that’s what you prefer.

On the whole I thought the workshop was good and enjoyable, the one thing I would say it that the Watercolour pan set was often out of sight so you could not see the colour chosen.

Not sure you can as pace was right, explanations good and outcome for me was something approaching the on screen painting.

Christine Fraser • Sep 2023

Was a fairly good start but all a little rushed to get through everything. I think an extra half hour would have made a big difference. But I did enjoy it and may contemplate another one at some time.

Joanne McCaul • Sep 2023

Good introduction and explanation useful diagrams throughout and opportunity to ask questions I learnt a lot from this 1 hour session and would recommend

Great class tonight, really enjoyed it. Tutor was personable and encouraging. Quite fast paced though to complete in the hour. A video link was sent through after the class so I can rewatch at my own pace. I've recently also completed the landscape and skyscape classes. This was my favourite but I enjoyed and would recommend all. It's amazing what you can achieve as a beginner in the hour long classes.

This was a very enjoyable and relaxing way to spend a hot evening! Rugile broke everything down into small manageable steps and explained everything clearly. Nice to receive the video to enable further attempts and exploration independently. Very good value for money to pay for just the class when all the necessary equipment had already been purchased through other workshops.

It would have been helpful to be able t check that you had all the correct brushes before the class as I didn't have a fan brush and therefore couldn't practice the technique being demonstrated, also if a list of paint pallet and size and weight of the watercolour paper would have been helpful as I had all these items already but not the same as those used

I thoroughly enjoyed my still life drawing tutorial with Emma Hunt. She provided clear instructions and lots of tips throughout the session to ensure that we all achieved an 'art work' by the end. I haven't drawn anything for years but I got my pencils out and gave the class a try - I'm so glad I did. I found being immersed in the session incredibly relaxing - there's no need to think about anything else when you are drawing and listening to Emma's advice. I would most certainly recommend this tutorial session.

Enjoyable session and learnt some great techniques. I am much more confident now in creating realistic skies in my paintings.
Tutor explained things clearly as she demonstrated, although I wasn’t sure what brush I should be using for each step.
I felt that there were too many people in the class which made me feel unable to ask questions or ask steps to be repeated when I wasn’t keeping up.

My tutor was lovely, patient and so knowledgeable. For the price of this course it’s an absolute bargain. Can’t put into words how much I enjoyed it! Will 100% be signing up for another one! Thank you!

The first 2 sessions were particularly good with the teacher explaining clearly and precisely. The thid session was not as useful.

Jennifer Arthur • Aug 2023

I very much enjoyed this class with Rugile. I previously did another one of the watercolour classes so it was great to have the option of class only, without additional materials. Many thanks!

Claire • Aug 2023

Two great sessions.

The first was led by Kathryn who demonstrated how to make the sunflower granny squares. She took time to explain the stitches clearly and demonstrated them many times for those who needed a bit of a reminder. She was cheerful throughout and answered all questions in detail. We were then encouraged to complete as many of the squares as we could before the second session but there was no pressure.

The second session was led by Louise who demonstrated the joining and finishing techniques. Louise was also very patient and took time to explain what we needed to do next. She pointed out which parts of the make were tricky so we were prepared for them.

The video of the sessions emailed following the sessions was very useful. The only thing I would have liked was the pattern notes from the second session as sometimes I just wanted to check something small and it would have been easier to do with the notes.

I enjoyed the sessions and am very proud of the bag I made.

An amazing class . I am new to crocheting but soon picked up the different stitches. The tutors were great and would go into depth slowly so we had the opportunity to work along side . They answered any questions that we had and would repeat if we needed. A great little bag that will draw attention . I can recommend this class to anyone new or experienced

I really enjoyed this set of two classes! I really didn’t expect to be able to produce such a lovely looking square in the first session nor to follow how to make a bag in the second, but I managed both! I can’t wait to get the bag finished up as I’m hoping it’ll be a beautiful one. Thanks to both teachers for the great lessons and for answering all of my questions. :)

A fun on-line class with a friendly and enthusiastic teacher.
An hour's class - which ensured concentration! - but well-paced to enable us all to achieve a semblance of the picture in the timescale
Plenty of advice and tips provided by the tutor.
The interesting and absorbing hour's on-line class meant that I completed the tutorial feeling refreshed - there's no time to think about anything else but the painting - perfect!
This is my second on-line water colour painting class with Hobbycraft and I would certainly book further classes.

This is a great class using acrylic paints if various types -had no idea there were different mixes previously, so I learned a lot on how to use them and the different brushes that came with the kit.
Created a painting in an hour, but will let it dry and go over some things again. Getting the kit through the post is also a bonus, and plenty of paints and acrylic paper pad to do much more. Recommended.

Teresa Bulford-Cooper • Aug 2023

Really informative and at a great pace that I could keep up with. Able to ask questions that were answered thoroughly.

Eileen Toop • Aug 2023

Great course, even better than I expected. The supplied kit was fantastic value, with loads left to make other things with. I’ve learned a lot, and have lost some of my fear of the machine - or rather, of Design Space! Our tutor, Chrissie E, was great and dealt very well with our varying levels of ability.
Not all the projects were to my taste, but I have gained transferable skills, and managed to adapt the ideas to suit my needs. Most importantly, my Cricut is no longer gathering dust in a corner!

Chrissie is extremely knowledgeable about all things Cricut and very patient with members of the group that aren't as technically up to speed. If you need guidance on how you can use your machine to it's full capacity, this is the course for you. It is more than how you can use it for weddings, but all the events in your life xXxXx

Hannah was fantastic! She was so patient with our daughter plus my husband and I who are all very much completely new to sewing using a machine - and it showed! Hannah was more than happy to go over things more than once (a lot!) and offered support and advice moving forward. Would definitely recommend to anyone new to sewing. Thank you Hannah!

At the half hour mark I wondered how my art work would look like a landscape but it all came together by the end and I was impressed (even if I say so myself) with what I achieved at a first attempt in an hour. All credit to the tutor. Would definitely recommend the class, you'll enjoy.

Issy Wallace • Aug 2023

This class is good for people who have never used watercolours before. However, the basic techniques of using watercolour were not taught which would have made more sense in a beginners class. Certain parts felt drawn out to fill time rather than the teaching of other techniques.

Difficulty with zoom - had checked earlier in the day that all up to date with zoom. However when I tried to join session I discovered that required update to zoom for this session to work, but was unable to install on laptop. Ended up using phone to access session. So not helpful start to session. Presumably this was an issue between Zoom and my laptop rather than Classbento session.

Thank you so very much for the FANTASTIC acrylic workshop. I was super impressed with the materials that Hobbycraft sent to go with the class, the very best of equipment!
I absolutely love the tutor, I have had her before and she such a fantastic and kind lady.

My only slight problem is this class needed to be taught for at least 1.5 hours, because the experience was like speed painting and I lacked that experience.

The other slight problem I had was the acrylic paints sent in the narrow tubes were hard to control using them direct to paper. The blue was too thick and I couldn’t get proper control of the paint. I think applying it with a narrow paint brush to do the accents would have produced a better result. I am going to repeat the exercise again at a slower rate where I can take my time and get a better result. I REALLY appreciated learning so much more about acrylic and some of its applications.
Would it be possible to do another acrylic painting class covering something different like art journaling or something?
Please sincerely thank the tutor for yet another brilliant class.

Rugilee was great and this was the second workshop that I have attended with her. I found the skyscape much more difficult than the British Wildlife one but Rugilee was very patient and answered as we went along. I like that fact that this is a live workshop and not a pre recorded one. The materials were great as well.
Because I did the British Wildlife workshop before I didn't need to buy the kit for this workshop, they used the same materials.

Another great class created by the hobby craft artisans, Rugile gave good clear instructions and I enjoyed learning new techniques. The kit is good quality and more than enough to keep experimenting. I used some artistic license as I didn't like the way some of my flowers came out, I’d definitely recommend the class

Brilliant basics class from Hannah, she was very patient and very clear with instructions. I could see her machine and what she was doing perfectly. It was nice for Hannah to reassure me and let me know the process of learning to sew, which helps me to manage my expectations and know it’s ok to take time to learn to do things properly now, to reap the benefits in the future.

Kathryn was brilliant. She helped us as beginners learn the stitches and help with any problems we might be having. She helped to put pattern code into plain English that we could understand easily.

The videos we received after each class was a great addition so we could rewatch the stitches and techniques as many times as needed.

I’ve already signed up for the next class.

Having the video to follow up each lesson was great - it's a lot to take in so being able to revisit has made a huge difference to being able to really learn.
The materials are generous and arrived in good time - I was so excited, I couldn't wait to get started. You don't need anything else, it's all there.

I've definitely found my confidence to lino print on my own now with the skills I learnt. Even the cat was happy with her new box I'll definitely book more workshops with Rugile. Thank you!

I was very lucky as I ended up getting a 1:1. I was given loads of tips and ideas as well as being expertly guided through the processes used to create a the piece of work. Well worth the money for a novice like me.

I already had a little experience of basic crochet skills, but I learned so much from this 6 week course. Building the skills each week and getting the chance to ask questions has been so helpful in improving my knowledge and confidence with my crochet (especially with pattern reading skills) The instructor Louise (and Kathryn one week) explained everything clearly and the videos emailed after each session helped if I realised I didn't have something quite right. Would highly recommend this and look forward to learning more with you soon!

Mandy Pitt • Aug 2023

I had a couple of technical issues, the 1st I think was my end, the second was a hobby craft issues so it was my 3rd attempt. The hobby craft customer service were very good and quick to rearrange and add me to a new class. The tutor was very good, relaxed and made people feel comfortable and confident to ask questions. I would have like to have finished the class with actually doing something free hand and personalise a bauble or other simple item instead of just practicing on paper.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Acrylic Paint Pouring workshop. Paula the instructor was very good and gave so many hints & tips throughout the session on ways to get different effects from the paint pouring. I'm more than pleased with the kit I received to go with the workshop as there is a great selection of paint etc. for me to use on further projects.

Really enjoyed the Painting on Acrylic workshop and pleased with the result of my first go. Rugilee was a very good teacher & gave lots of hints & tips throughout the session on how to get the best results on the project. The kit to go with the workshop has more than enough paints for me to do my own future projects.

A lovely and relaxing class which had clear steps to build up the picture. Great price for just the class as I already had the required materials. I liked the tip of using masking tape to create a crisp border and the different colours for creating the grass.

Yvonne Shepherd • Aug 2023

61 ClassBento workshops attended • 30 reviews

I really liked the option of choosing not to have the kit delivered and just doing the class for a much cheaper price as I already had the required materials from previous workshops so it is great that Hobbycraft are now doing this, I agree with other reviewers that it would have been much better to have a copy of the picture emailed before hand as despite the fact the artisan kept it on the screen and allowed us to take a screen shot, it was impossible to see the fine detail pencil lines on it and to see what she was doing on her page at times. She did keep holding hers up to the camera to see which helped.

It was ok. The presenter could have used more material samples to illustrate techniques etc and too much time on selecting a pattern. But appreciate there is so much that could be covered. I’d have loved more on reading patterns with examples. Thanknyou

Debbie Murphy • Aug 2023

The 1hr Cricut Design Space workshop was good and I learnt quite a few new things I was unaware of before both with the Cricut machine & Design Space. Hannah the instructor was very good & clear and gave every opportunity to ask questions. Before the demonstration had actually started she asked if there were any specific questions that we would like answered in relation to the machine & Design Space. It was an hour well spent and has given me the push to get my Explore 2 out and start to use it a lot more than I have in the 5 years I've had it!

Really enjoyed this class - nice relaxed pace and friendly knowledgeable tutor. Also did macrame class, beginners watercolour wildlife, beginners guide to floral sketching, workshop of visible mending and beginners class in brush lettering. I was very impressed with all of them and thought they were all good value for money, very interesting and informative. I didn't feel rushed at any stage, and felt I gained a lot of information, tips and ideas that I could use after the class to continue with all of them. Would recommend to anyone.

Only 3 in the class so perfect number and all 3 of us were left handed which was very unusual but Kathryn easily swapped over to left handed. Fantastic! Haven't been able to learn as all my friends are right handed!
Very easy to follow with the overhead camera and perfect speed. Moved forward at my pace when the other 2 were struggling so that I could continue to learn bit she went back to help the others too. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to practice and eventually make the blanket in the kit I have.

Had to have the class rescheduled as when i attempted to access it using the link, there was no hobbycraft host however customer services were very helpful and rescheduled me on the next day’s class, It was a very fun and enjoyable class and allows creativity through choosing colours. I am really pleased with my canvas board and enjoyed seeing how it changed during the evening as the paint continued to move. I used different colours to the canvas for the three coasters that I managed to complete during the class and they all look totally different even with the same paint pot. Fantastic!

I had a great time on the course and felt the information delivered was much more than just the activity - the instructor talked about different materials, issues you might face, etc, and I ended up with a really nice cut block.

Would have been good to be advised beforehand that you wouldn’t be able to use the rolling pin with food after using it on the clay.

I enjoyed the class, although I found it a little hard to see at times with the light reflecting off the water on the paper and the pale colours. Having said that , although I was not sure that I had completed a good painting when it had dried, I was really happy with my first attempt. Thank you for another good class with great value for money

Eileen O'Connor • Aug 2023

Absolutely loved this. Hannah was very clear on instructions. I intend to make a few more for gifts. Thank you!

I'm pleased with my painting as a first try and feel confident enough to have another practice.

I would give 5 stars for Gisela the teacher. She was great and I was the only one. (I can’t imagine a big class like 5+). I’m rating 3 stars because the materials are quite bad. I’m not sure if it was the roller or the ink but it didn’t work as it should. I think the ink was an issue. It really let it down. The ink didn’t cover the roller properly or the tray, and the ink was awkward. I think the hand guard was a good idea but for a larger hand -ie a man’s hand. Overall it was good thanks to the teacher but was let down by poor quality materials.

Emma Martin • Aug 2023

Fantastic workshop, ideal for a bit of ‘me time’!
I feel you need to have a little experience to keep up with the pace but Hannah was great. She provided clear instructions and was happy to repeat or answer any queries, making sure you were still following.
Lots of practical tips shared, including how to adjust the pattern. It would be nice to have written instructions too. My dog loves it, now to practice my new skills and make her one which fits!

A lovely way to spend an hour of my relaxing Sunday afternoon. Louise laid out all the equipment and told us a bit about how to use them. I ended up sketching the best picture of a flower I've ever drawn! I look forward to practicing my sket hing skills.

I bought this course as I'd had my Cricut Maker sitting in the cupboard for 2 years. I couldn't get on with the software. I received a box of goodies, all a nice quality and settled down to my first lesson. And true to form I couldn't understand the instructions or work the zoom. But about to give up Chrissie stepped in and calmly led me through the steps to finish the project. Not just once, but many times. So I always ended up with a finished project. Still the many tips and instructions stuck and by the end of the course I was much using the software and making projects on my own. I am so happy with my new skills. If I can learn it anybody can. Thank you so much for your patience, Chrissie.

This course is valuable to anyone starting to use Circut Joy. Delivered at a good pace and easy to understand. Has given me a confidence boost in using my Joy. Good value for the money

Lynn Milne • Jul 2023

I did enjoy it, although I felt the lady went rather quickly and didn’t even ask us how we were doing. I didn’t feel as included as I expected.
I can’t fault the kit though. Brilliant.

It was great to learn a new skill. The tutor worked at a good pace and went over the techniques a number of times allowing us to ask questions if we did not understand. The class comes with the full kit of supplies and instructions for future reference . Defiantly recommend this workshop

This was a lovely class and I enjoyed creating my coaster which I have just removed from the mould today. I am pleased with the finished product however we were instructed to put less white fluid pigment drops into the resin mix and when i added my white mixture to the mould it had remained clear so I should have definitely added more white drops. Lots of the fluid pigment left over and gold flakes so I have ordered more resin to have another try myself. The safety instructions given were very clear and allowed the coaster to be created safely and I feel confident to create more independently.

Excellent class . Exactly what I needed to help with visible mending when I volunteer at my local repair cafe.
Paula has done embroidery on clothes, and her experience was very helpful.

When you look at embroidery books, they are usually for samplers.
Clothes are different because you need to wash and wear with confidence
Thank you
Would be great if you have other online workshops for visible mending. I am also interested in visible darning and Sashiko

The person running the session was great - really friendly and helpful. As a session though it’s difficult to do the craft in the time and I think also the fact that you only have enough resin in the pack to make one coaster seems a bit misleading as this didn’t seem to be clear when booking it. Can’t fault the person delivering the session though.

Chrissie answered all my questions regarding the right machine for me. She started the session by asking me what I was expecting to use the machine for and the decision was, more or less, made from the beginning.
She certainly knew her stuff! Christie was in her own home surrounded by her beloved cutting machines and she did a comparison of each, providing me with the clarity and guidance I needed to enable me to make the correct buying choices. It's also handy to know that all the Hobbycraft digital cutting supplies can be used in all the machinesso, no need to stick to the branded supplies. I was very impressed, not only with the machines, themselves, but also with the board base of knowledge clearly demonstrated by the passionate artisan Chrissie clearly is. Thank you.

Miss Elliott • Jul 2023

Really informative class, I am new to sewing so never knew half the terminology in understanding patterns which this course really helped understand all the abbreviations and how to read a pattern, still think it will be a while before I get there but this course has certainly helped.

Easy to order the kit, which arrived a few days before the Workshop. Very exciting opening the kit and having a look at the products. There were 4 coaster moulds in the kit, but my only negative would be that we only received enough resin to make a single coaster on the day.

The workshop was really good. I think there were about 10 participants, but everyone was shy and kept their camera off, which is a shame.

Rugile explained the contents of the kit clearly, along with the all-important health and safety and then we started creating.

At certain points I fell behind (opening the pigments with gloves on was very fiddly) but Rugile gave me a few minutes to catch up. 1 hour did feel slightly rushed at some points; an additional 10 minutes would have felt more comfortable, especially at the end, there wasn't much time to ask questions, but I was very happy with my coaster and I cannot wait to unmould it in 72 hours and start using it!

Thank you Rugile. A lovely creative way to spend a Sunday morning.

Nicola Brown • Jul 2023

Great to have advice from an experienced crafts person rather than reading in a book or the social media snippets which only give a portion of the information needed. Looking forward to getting more adventurous with my resin crafting!

Susan Jollands • Jul 2023

Hannah was able to identify where I had been going wrong when I had practicing from some very jumbled description, was able to give me some tips to look out for which are hard to pick up from the instruction booklet or not included and generally gave me a bit of confidence and encouragement.

the online aspect went better than I expected as Hannah was able to spot some things as I was doing them (I was n't sure the camera on my laptop would be good enough). She also gave me more than the hour and some really helpful tips and links to help me get started on a project.

I would would recommend the course as i think it will make the difference between getting started and the machine sitting in a cupboard because I cannot get it to work.

Holly was great, I'd worked out most of the things she showed us already as I'd had my machine a week, but it was good to know I was doing it right and learn a couple of tips. Shame the others on the class didn't want to chat or get involved as I think that could have made it a bit more fun but I know not everyone is comfortable with that and it didn't affect learning stuff

I'd give the teacher 5* as she was very good. However, I've given an overall of 4* rating as the paint provided in the kit did not work well.

I enrolled both my daughter and I in this class, and neither of us were getting particularly good results. The teacher didn't use the same paint as us as she said she'd run out of the one that came with the kit and she was using another. A couple of times she mentioned the brand of paint she was using, so after the class we popped down to Hobbycraft and bought that paint and it worked for us both first time! If she hadn't mentioned about trying other paints we'd have given up on Lino printing thinking it doesn't work for us, so that's why I've marked the overall result down to 4*.

Picture is with the Essdee paint that we purchased as an extra to the kit. This brand of paint was also much easier to clean up the equipment after use.

Donna Murray-Wheeler • Jul 2023

7 ClassBento workshops attended • 6 reviews

I hadn’t tried Lino printing before and was worried it would be really difficult. However Giselle took us through all the steps at a good pace and explained things brilliantly. I found it especially helpful when she showed us examples of things that might go wrong with our prints and how to rectify them. I’ve already given a print away as a gift

Beverley O'Connell • Jul 2023

Great class. Just at the right level for me. Explanations were clear and being able to practice as you go suited my learning style.

Amazing course very well explained. Cost included all materials so was very good value. I can’t wait to get going doing some visible mending on clothes.

Richard Spencer • Jul 2023

The class and teacher ( Irene) was excellent and I learnt to do all the stitches.

Not 5 stars because equipment sent was broken, had to be replaced, and as I found out on the course there was a massive mismatch between needle size and the thread thickness that Iwas sent.

Sue McMahon • Jul 2023

Loved the class and the teacher was very good. Gave it 4 rather than 5 stars only because it was a lot to get done within the time and so felt a little rushed to try to get the picture finished and would have preferred it to have maybe been one and a half hours rather than just an hour.
Teacher was lovely and gave lots of hints and different techniques so we felt the class was very good value.
I enrolled my daughter as well as myself, and it was good "Mum and daughter" time, and last night we had a go at doing another picture to practice the techniques that we had been shown so we wouldn't forget them and our 2nd attempts were much better (picture posted is one I did in the class)

I had fun and I would probably do something like this again.

Gisela explained everything very clearly and never rushed us to move on to another letter. She gave lots of helpful advice on how to adapt the letters to your own individual style of writing, if you found the example letters difficult. I liked the little section about embellishments at the end, which really helped to make the lettering stand out. I will definitely recommend this workshop to my friends and family

Well presented in a clear, easily followed format. I gained a lot of information and support in the session. I actually feel I understand so much more and can’t wait to try all the new stuff I’ll be able to do. Really gave me confidence and I’d definitely recommend it!

Vanessa Sang • Jul 2023

Great informative introduction to Tik Tok by Nerissa. Her down to earth approach and friendly manner made this a very useful and pleasant seminar. Lots of helpful tips to get started for someone who didn’t have a clue beforehand. Thank you so much.

Irene Harvey • Jul 2023

Chloe was excellent very clear and helpful
The written notes received by email are also great to keep
Thanks

Joan Curnuck • Jul 2023

Lovely tutor, great pack of supplies. The hour went at a steady pace to allow everyone to either work along or to watch and work later. I did feel I didn’t do a good job on my first attempt but was able to ask questions and rectify it on my second. Really enjoyable and time flew by.

Elaine Leck • Jul 2023

Kathryn was very patient with us and clear in her explanations of how to do the two stitches.

Great intro to brush lettering with Louise. Good pace and easy to follow, with clear demonstration of technique. Now I know how Zoom works (yes I know - late developer) and what to expect, will sign up for more beginners' workshops to explore new craft activities.

Alexia Griffiths-Clarke • Jul 2023

Amazing course Kathryn, Thank you. Very patient with beginners would highly recommend this course, can not believe I made this granny square

Diane Kerslake • Jul 2023

The course was well-run and clearly explained. It was easy to access, and ran promptly. I really enjoyed myself.

Barbara Todd • Jul 2023

Fun, different, messy.
The kit was excellent (though no yellow paint ‍♀️), and very good value for money.
The tutorial was very good.
I have lots of the materials left over, so I will definitely try it again myself.

Nice box of paints and brushes. Teacher was easy to understand. The hour just flew by. We didn't finish! Maybe in future start with the weight of paper required for watercolour and go straight into project that way allowing for more time to teach us the tricks? Really enjoyed the class though.

Jo Jarvis • Jul 2023

Chrissie has a wealth of knowledge. Always kind and helpful. That’s why I have had several 1-1 classes with her

Emma Ferdinand • Jul 2023

Steady pace. Explained well. Some good tips shared. I completed the tutorial on the evening and have a lovely sample dog coat. It would be good to have instructions included with the kit, including guidance on how to adjust the sizing for larger dogs.

Michelle Ryan • Jul 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed this workshop. The teacher was so easy to follow, happy to take questions and allowed time. Well worth the money given our current economic crisis. Keep up the good work. Will look forward to the homework and booking more workshops in the future. M Ryan

Mine didn't turn out like the sample one but I'm pleased with it, and will be buying more resin to experiment further.

Thank you :)

Great Workshop, the kit brings just enough for try, but also allows to reuse the molds, pigments and gold speckles for future projects. Easy to follow, with safety guidelines explained, and the project seems to be coming fine. I wanted to put a picture of the final product, but still waiting for the resin to cure and I am not sure if my link for the review will expire after. Either way, recommend.

Jennifer Arthur • Jul 2023

Carol Macdonald • Jul 2023

This is a huge subject, so it was necessary to go through the content at a fast pace. I did learn a lot, but a 2 hour session would probably allow the information to sink in.

Julie Powell • Jul 2023

Good and reassuring guide by Hannah, she explained and showed things well, and readily explained some unfamiliar terms when I had questions. Very worthwhile & encouraging. Thank you!

Georgina Willatts • Jul 2023

Mrs Botting • Jul 2023

This was a first class introduction to acrylic paint pouring with so many good tips and onward suggestions. Gisela was an excellent tutor and I was astounded that on this occasion the class was 1-1 making it even more superb value for money. She was friendly and keen to answer any questions and the joyous hour was over too soon! I thoroughly recommend this workshop and having tasted my first one will now be keen to try more. The kit is generous so having tried two creations in the lesson there is plenty left to experiment further and get in to this compelling form of art.

Jane Timberlake • Jul 2023

Very useful for a beginner like me. Just make sure you have a threader! Although the technique explained to me to help with threading was a life saver, otherwise I’d still be trying to thread. Looking forward to some practice, and then fixing a favourite top.

Helen Earlie • Jul 2023

Hannah was fantastic - so patient, kind and friendly. I am a complete novice (I only knew how to switch on the sewing machine) but she went through everything step-by-step and by the end I had managed to sew stitches. I would thoroughly recommend Hannah and will definitely book further sessions once I have practised the basics. The online platform worked great. Thanks Hannah!

Really enjoyed this workshop as I learnt a lot. I think that you need to be aware that you won't have a completed design by the end of the session as it takes a lot of time so just focus on learning rather than trying to get it all done. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who hasn't learnt how to draw with pen before.

Pauline Wayman • Jul 2023

I had done a bit of drawing at school (mainly manga, haven't drawn much since) and wasn't taught any technical skills but I felt like this workshop was a brilliant start to get back into drawing and gives me a great foundation to work off. Thanks Millie <3

I can’t wait for my coaster to set (the white blob is a reflection of the ceiling light)

Very rushed course. I fell behind due to needle snapping and by the time I changed it I missed the next section so left early, if you fall behind there is no time for you to catch up. Luckily you receive a video of it afterwards so can finish it off by watching the video. Tutor was lovely and will answer any questions asked.

The kit sent in advance was fine, but no mention of rice, so had to leave screen and raid the kitchen. Good fun.

Tutor was great ,but box contained a lot of irelivant pattern pieces, which was confusing. It was also not mentioned that we needed dried peas or rice for filling the bags there was also someone who had not realised that they needed their sewing machine.

Millie was great with explaining everything giving tips along the way that were outside of what we were doing but giving us other ideas to try. Really enjoyed it. Although do have to say one of my paintbrush heads came apart through the session and falling into the water so that part was not ideal but nothing to do with the tuition just the brushes sent.

Katie Cameron • Jul 2023

Hannah was so helpful, I have learnt more in an hour with her than in the entire time I have had my machine. I have a slightly strange machine and she had put in the effort to look up my machine so she was able to talk me through it, which in my opinion was above and beyond! The class was brilliantly structured and moved at a pace that suited me. She was so encouraging and I am really looking forward to practising all the new tips and tricks. I wasn't sure how well a sewing class online would go but I am thrilled with the result and will be signing up for more of the sewing classes in the future.

Claire O’Neill • Jul 2023

Wasn’t as enjoyable as the dog coat class. Doesn’t help when people know don’t how to use their own machine. After 2.5hrs, I gave up because it was too slow and I had things to do. Tried to use the video afterwards but was poor quality to know how to do the final bits. Classes should be for people who know the basis.

Easy to log on and follow the instructions. Tutor was really helpful and patient and answered every one’s questions clearly. The class did over run by an hour so I think more time needs to be allocated. I’m pleased the lesson is also on a download so you can revisit at a later date.

Vicki Parsons • Jul 2023

Wow! I’d learnt tonnes in the first 5 minutes. Irene really knew her stuff, answered questions before I’d had a chance to ask them and explained where design space features could be found on the tablet, which I use, eventhough she was using a laptop. So so good and I would recommend to anyone.

Amy Bishop-Powell • Jul 2023

The box was a bit disappointing, I didn’t realise it would be white day quarters so I just used my own coloured ones. There was a lot of things needed that weren’t in the course instructions, big and small scissors, tape, iron. Would have been good to pre cut the pattern and iron material before the course. It ran too fast, I am not a beginner but not advanced in sewing and struggled to keep up! Instructions were given when I was using sewing machine so difficult to hear. Hard to keep up with the chat board and actually talking and sewing. I kept camera off and muted and worked hard but need to finish off with the recording. Hannah seemed very thorough and a good teacher though so would give her a 5/5 stars for her teaching!

Great workshop - templates are great, instruction was excellent and the kit sets you up to crack on doing it yourself. Was my first workshop (and it was online) so wasn't sure what to expect but the camera set up worked really well and would recommend.

I am so glad I booked this course. I was worried I wouldn’t keep up but Kathryn was a fantastic teacher of crochet and went at a perfect pace.
The kit you get is amazing too and have so much yarn left over.
The pattern looked complicated but watching Kathryn go through it and explain it was great.
Can’t wait for flower bag course to come out, I will defiantly be booking more crochet courses.
Thankyou so much Kathryn I am much more confident at recognising stitches and counting them now.

I had a great time learning how to start my knitting off. The artisan was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient. We were able to do the process step by step and take our time. The camera angle was very helpful but when needed was moved to a full view position so I could see another angle. I now feel confident to enjoy my knitting by myself.

Despite my lack of experience with Zoom, this workshop was very successful for me. After finally working out how to 'unmute' myself I was able to chat quite freely with Louse who explained each stage very clearly and simply; breaking down each stage with a very clear demonstration.
Be aware , when using the pens, you really do have to rethink everything you've been taught. The phito is my first attempt and it does feel like learning to write again. So, Practice, practice, practice is the advice I would pass on to anyone having a goand be patient with yourself. It's a very therapeutic little hobby.
The pens are really nice, they don't bleed on the page as the paper supplied is of excellent quality. I would thoroughly recommend this workshop. A very enjoyable hour, with an experienced artisan who is good at her craft. Thank you.

Hazel Stewart • Jun 2023

I managed to complete the project in time but I think less experienced sewers may have struggled. The instructions were explained clearly. I think it would have been a nice touch if the supplied fabric had been a dog print, given the workshop project. Also, it would have been beneficial to have more instruction on how to make bigger sized coats, given that the supplied pattern was very small.

I really enjoyed Chrissie's session. She's highly knowledgeable and was was to demonstrate what different machines can do in an effective way. It was also incredibly helpful to have the time with an expert to talk me through the different ways to create. Thanks Chrissie!

Denise Herring • Jun 2023

I really enjoyed the session I have just had with a lovely lady who explained everything in really simple terms which she demonstrated making it easy to follow. She took her time allowing me to practice with my brush markers following instructions. I just love painting and drawing in all kinds of medium, and as soon as she realised, she this informed me that I can use these markers to enhance watercolour paintings as well as using them on ceramics.
An excellent session and a wonderful Christmas present received from my son.

Nice informal class with a very personable tutor. No pressure to ask or type a question, or to have your camera on. I could just watch as Hannah shared her knowledge. There were some points where the overhead camera lost focus but this was a very minor niggle in what was a really informative and entertaining course. I really appreciated the follow-up paperwork too.

Perfectly paced for both a beginner and someone with previous experience. It would have been helpful if if the template had been an iron on transfer or suggested to transfer the design to the cushion ahead of the class. I found that i had to rush the design so as not to feel left behind in the class. I think for someone who was not confident at drawing they would have felt intimidated by having to draw the design freehand. Otherwise, the instructor was very good, and kept checking everyone was ok.

A great course, and very good value for money - especially given the large box of supplies included. The 3 tutors (Rachel, Irene & Chrissie) were all friendly, helpful & encouraging. For me, as a complete Cricut beginner, I found some of the classes a little difficult to keep up with. But videos sent after each class allow you to watch again if you miss anything. Recommended.

I really enjoyed this workshop! It's the first Hobbycraft workshop that I have done but it won't be the last as I found it really enjoyable and a lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
The instructor Gisela was really patient, knowledgeable and friendly, she immediately put me at ease. The linoprint I made needs more practice for it to look like the illustration, but I feel I've got a great foundation now to build on. Thank you Hobbycraft for not cancelling the workshop due to a low number of sign-ups and in particular to Gisela for her great instruction and endless patience! Thank you.

Great equipment in the pack. The tutor was very friendly and knowledge. There was a lot to do in the time, so I think it could be longer. Or, if I had been told in the joining email to use the template and draw the peacock ahead of the class, I would have then focused on the painting in the class rather than drawing and painting.

Rebecca Kyte • May 2023

Chrissie was very friendly and the session was very informative. The session showed how to use the maker 3 and the different components. As well as showing different projects that can be done on the maker 3.

Magdalena Oszywa • May 2023

Personally I found the class a bit too difficult as I am only a beginner. It was tricky to keep up with everything and so my dress is not finished. It would have been helpful to have some instructions before the class to prepare as much as possible in terms of cutting the patterns and putting them together, etc.
Also I'm sure that when I booked the class it said toddler dress, but the biggest size on the pattern only fits a 1yr old or so. This was quite disappointing as my toddler is almost 3!

Hannah Barkus • May 2023

Very helpful and informative, teacher was very supportive and knowledgeable. Lovely finished dress when complete.

Thank you!

Gillian Dupin • May 2023

I had sent in a couple of questions and was told they would get back to me with answers but no one did. It would have been helpful as I could have been more prepared. It would have also been useful to have received a picture so it was easier to see the colours and shapes. I had to keep looking at my computer screen for the full image. It would have also been helpful if a piece of cardboard had been placed between the layers of the cover. I did have some cardboard but kept having to move it around. I also felt it was all quite rushed and the tutor did not check that we were OK

It was fantastic doing this portrait over three weeks so the tutor could slow things down. I learned a different technique than when I did the Easter bunny drawing, it was interesting how to do different shading. We had two different tutors over the three weeks they were both very good. I’m pleased with my progress as only the second picture I’ve drawn since my school days in the 70’s! I will definitely do more drawing courses with Hobbycraft.

I enjoyed learning how to draw pets, it was really detailed and the instructor was really knowledgeable. I had a problem with the second class and I had double booked, hobbycraft was really great and they allowed me to join in another group for the second week so I was still able to continue and finish my dashhound. I think the only downside was that the picture we were sent and the picture the instructor used was slightly different, it was slightly lighter than ours.

Kathryn and Louise are very hood tutors. Although I would classify myself as being experienced at crochet, there were some techniques that I didn’t know how to do or have now made better due to their help. I would definitely do other classes if they were available

Really fantastic class, Louise was a great teacher, she described and showed us how to do everything slowly and patiently, and was happy to go over things a few times so we (mainly me) could understand what to do, the pace was just right and it was very relaxed and enjoyable, the time flew by, I would definitely recommend this class and Louise.

If there were separate marks for the tutor I would definitely give her 5 but the materials were disappointing. The gravers were all blunt and subsequently the lino was too hard to cut into. I would suggest softer lino for this beginner's session, which is available in the same range. The kit supplied is also available as standard stock from Hobbycraft but I definitely wouldn't recommend it. The paint included is also too thick and sticky.

Luna Rahman • May 2023

A great course, 6 weeks is just about right to go through all the different squares for crotchet beginners.
The Water Garden CAL would be a good course to get more crotchet experience on learning more new stitches.

Deborah Fyfe • May 2023

As a total newbie Hannah explained everything clearly and gave me the confidence to at least give sewing a bash !

Really enjoyable class! Never tried lino before and now I feel inspired and able to make my own projects. The kit came in plenty of time with everything needed, and 90mins was perfect session length. Just a note for any fellow introverts - you can be as involved or quiet as you like in the online class, there is 0 pressure to turn on the mic if you'd rather not.

This was an interesting class and I enjoyed learning the techniques to create depth and texture using the ink pens. The hexagonal design looks effective and allows creativity to link all of the pieces together. The class was well paced and didn’t feel rushed. I have finished my picture in my own time after the class continuing to apply the techniques shown.

Great one to one tuition. Kathryn was very patient and gave brilliant clear instructions and guidance. I had crocheted many many years ago but needed more than a refresher course. So this beginner course was ideal for me. I was pleased with the wee square I made but need much more practice. Thank you Kathryn.

Iona Isaac • May 2023

Excellent teacher. Be prepared to finish project in your own time but they give you a talk through all the techniques. Course name a bit misleading as the pattern sizes cover newborn, 6months and 1 year- I would call this baby not toddler

This class had me making things I would never ordinarily have made, as I'm more an iron on vinyl gal than a paper/card gal. It was interesting to see how the various paper/card projects come together.
There were plenty of tips to make using Design Space easier with a good workflow.

Great session; really interesting and lots of fabulous tips and advice from Nerrisa and the slides are really helpful to refer to afterwards. Its also great to be told at the beginning that you'll get the slides later so you can concentrate on the session instead of trying to write everything down and then being told at the end that you'll get the slides anyway so that was helpful in itself.

Hannah, was great, she explained the various, points on a pattern and stopped every so often to ask if we had any questions or if anything needed more explanation. Learning something new, I always feel a little awkward but Hannah put me at ease and has a very calm manner I would certainly consider booking other classes. I appreciated the summary sheets sent to us after the workshop, very handy to refer back to.

Abbie Dean • May 2023

I loved the class but wish it was for slightly bigger sizes (toddler dress - newborn, 6months and 1 year?!)

Kathryn Jones • May 2023

It needs a longer session , very good but needs longer to complete the dress as the final prices are arguably the most complicated to achieve .
Hannah was very good at explaining very helpful , no question too small .

Nicola Raynard • May 2023

This was the first time ive done any dressmaking and i thoroughly enjoyed it, i learned alot about stitches and cutting out. My only problem with was it ran too fast and i just couldnt keep up. We also wernt told we needed selotape or equivalent to hold the material to the pattern. It would have helped to have been told to cut out the paper pattern peices in advance. I would recommend this and will do another in the future.

Unfortunate the hardest part of the item was not demonstrated as time ran out. Feel not necessary to watch tutor cut out pattern. Participants could have been briefed about the sizing and confident to work along pre-cut pattern. Really only needed to be shown how to cellotape pattern together. The booking info should have stated that booking the course meant you would still receive the pattern. Kit was costly for what you got. Tutor was knowledgeable.

I have used air clay in the past, but I learnt some new things about the clay I didn't know, firstly, that if after manipulating the clay to soften it up, you need to smash it onto your work surface and it would get rid of any air left in tht clay. I also found that once the clay is dry you can smooth with glass paper. I further learnt that I can paint it once it is finished. It is really good that you can just lose youself in the making of the product and forget about all your plants. The only downside was the flowers in the pack, the stems were ok, but the actual flowers were like soft polystryine balls which when placed onto the clay as was suggested the polystryine did not really have the ability to be pressed into the clay and therefore did nothing for the texture. I also liked the fact that we were given links to look at other clay projects.

Chrissie was a lovely bubbly person with great knowledge of digital products. She took the time to understand what me needs were in looking at these machines. Chrissie as a crafter knew exactly what would suit my needs perfectly. These machines are brilliant but also not cheap so I didn’t want to make a mistake. I am confident I will now be buying the best machine for me.

I’ve had a Silhouette Cameo for several years now, & I just wanted to take this class to maybe learn about features I hadn’t used yet. Chrissie was brilliant & did teach me things I hadn’t learned, & she took time to answer questions we had throughout the class & let time near the end for more. She was very knowledgeable about the machine & it’s software. I would highly recommend this class to beginners as well as Silhouette Cameo users who don’t quite know everything about their machines or those who might need a refresher.

Total novice for needlecraft which I stated at the beginning of the class.
Irene was /is a very patient lady as I'm not very good at threading a needle!
Unfortunately there was only me who was booked in, so in my favour a true 1 to 1.
I managed to do all 3 stitches. I enjoyed this very much, didn't feel rushed. My kitten had to make an appearance, then my older big cat just to make it atad difficult for me to see, but they were put out the way. Even though I only accomplished 3 different stitches they are all I needed to know for future repairs. Irene also suggested a different way to use lazy daisy one, which I think I will be using. The kit which came in plenty of time was of high quality items in a canvas carry bag. The kit & the tutorial for beginners I believe to be well worth the cost.
This is the 2nd class (different subjects) both of them quality items to use plenty of quantity already looking at the crochet class.

Lee Dunkerley • May 2023

The two workshop tutors were friendly and knowledgeable and their approach was encouraging and supportive. Initially I didn’t really hold out much hope of producing a competent piece of work but the drawing itself was approached in easy stages and I ended up surprising myself.
I would not hesitate in recommending this course because I have come to realise that drawing skills are essential and hope that there will be other drawing courses, for example intermediate and advanced.

This was a really enjoyable set of classes. Louise and Millie taught some great techniques and there was obviously good communication between them as Millie knew where we were up to for the final class. I have learnt some great skills and techniques for drawing animals and I look forward to applying these to draw other animals in the future.

Ru put my mind to rest, they went through all of the correct PPE that we needed and went through how to dispose of all the items safely.
Ru happily answered all of our questions and was very knowledgeable on the subject, they went through everything at a good pace and explained things fully.
I already have resin in my Hobbycraft shopping cart so that I can do more!

Mrs Buxton • Apr 2023

Excellent starter class. Kathryn was very patient and it was easy to follow her instructions

Vera Kubenz • Apr 2023

I wasn't able to achieve or learn anything during the session as the yarn was poor quality and kept on splitting/ bobbling so that I was wasn't able to follow the lesson. The instructor kept on apologising for the poor quality equipment supplied. This has discouraged me from knitting and I will likely not bother trying to learn further.

Althea Lewis • Apr 2023

Thank u Kathryn - such a great intro to knitting. She really took her time and did it at a great pace for me.

I loved the course of drawing your pet. The techniques taught were really interesting. It was good to be online and to be able to go at my own pace, but to have a tutor actually in the room with me would’ve been a bonus. Unfortunately I live too far From any hobby craft store to be able to participate in person thank you again

Chris Jackson • Apr 2023

11 ClassBento workshops attended • 10 reviews

The Hobbycraft information always asks participants to log in ten minutes before the start time. Why this is required and what purpose it serves still isn’t clear or known. The session starts at the set time with no interaction prior to that start time . The session seemed to be at a fairly rapid pace but with the option of doing whatever you wanted from the demonstration information. I had to do the best I could because it wasn’t going to be physically possible to do things at the same pace as the demonstration or the second part where the drawing was being done properly. I had unfortunately to leave a little early too but received an email from Emma with some links which will be useful. A lot of materials to use and some time ahead to consider what to do and how best to continue practicing and developing these ideas in the future. Thanks .

Bring small sharp scissors and maybe a needle threader, if your eyesight is not great, as we used all six strands of embroidery thread rather than 2 or 3.
Four different stitches, tips for mending woollen knits as well as fabric, as the technique is a bit different. Very enjoyable.

I am confident as a result that my cricut machine will be in use all the time for various projects that I have planned. The artisan, Chrissie was really knowledgeable and gave loads of tips based on her own experience. The kit that came before the workshops was very generous with every thing needed for each lesson plus lots of extras, Hobbycraft did not scimp here. Would highly recommend to anyone considering buying any cricut machine as it really sets you up to make best use of the machine.

Kathryne went slowly through double and treble crochet stitches step by step demonstrating each step as she went.

She answered any questions and also provided some extra resources to support in crochet moving forward.

Would definitely recommend taking the Beginners guide to crochet.

Hannah was amazing! Everything I struggled with to start using the machine has been explained thoroughly and she has given me a greater understanding of how to use this model.

Very excited to get going with testing out some patterns and nice to know she’s available to help with these also on the one to one sessions.

A perfect beginners guide to Cricut space. Rachel started by telling us how to navigate the cricut app. She explained how to make a project (designed by cricut) going through it step by step. Rachel went on to describe what each and every icon was on the design space so I now feel confident to make my own project/designs. I like the fact she didn’t rush and went through things at a steady pace so I could keep up and make notes. Rachel also paused for any questions throughout the workshop to help clarify or answer questions. Thank you Rachel- I look forward to booking onto another one of your workshops.

Liz Stearne • Apr 2023

Brilliant class, very informative - a lot to take in but now I feel confident to use the cricut design space. Rachel explained everything really well and other participants asked questions I hadn't thought of but will use the advise. Definitely recommend this workshop. Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed this workshop. The tutor was excellent and explained everything well and went at a good pace so that no-one got left behind. The only pity was that the Zoom connection went down at the end and so none of us could complete the course on the night. The tutor sent through a recording of the rest of the workshop but it was just a shame that that happened. Otherwise I would have given it five stars. Superb tutor. I cannot praise her highly enough.

Enjoyed the class. Explained to the small group of us. Difficult to break up the flowers. If I had known before hand I would have broken them up. Presenter was enthusiastic but went a little too fast. We could have done with another 30 minutes to finish off. I would definitely book another class.

Shana Instone • Apr 2023

Great workshop and fantastic result, especially for beginners. Packed full of useful tips and info and very fun. Only downside is that because you have to deconstruct all of the picks during the workshop, this limits time to make the wreath and receive more tips from the teacher. But overall great!

I am sorry to say I didn’t finish my class . I only got up to the magic circle, as two very important visitors arrived ( my grandchildren) wasn’t expecting them. I did learn an easy way to do magic circle something I had problems with in the past. The lady was very nice and explained it slowly and carefully, So that was a bonus. I was told I would get a video on how to do the rest of the egg but as yet not received it.

A very pleasant and relaxing hour spent learning about Pen & Ink drawing. The tutor Rachel was extremely knowledgeable and there were many techniques and tips she passed on to help me continue to practice for myself. Having all the required items sent beforehand is such a great idea, no need for additional shopping at this stage. The only thing I would wish for is a little bit more time rather than it being a rush at the end but the tutor is available afterwards to email with those questions you always forget to ask at the time. Thank you Rachel.

Only issue was I couldn’t connect to the lesson for some reason, but made it in time for the majority. Good clear instructions. May be better to give the lesson a slightly longer time as there was quite a lot to get through.

Jan Ellis • Apr 2023

My only criticism is that the session was quite fast paced and would have been better if an extra half hour could be added to allow for more time to complete the design.

Elinor Henson • Apr 2023

I would give this course 10 stars if I could! The artisans are so helpful and walk you through each step with clear instructions. The supplies given are very generous and more than enough to complete the course! Lots of support given throughout as well as videos to catch up on what you missed. If they had any more crochet courses, I would sign up in a heartbeat Thank you Hobbycraft, Louise, and Kathryn!

It's so theraputic and addictive too! I have a new hobby! Thanks, Rachel - another brilliant and inspiring workshop with you!

I really enjoyed this workshop but couldn't really join in because I hadn't read the email properly and didn't have any wire cutters. However, Paula was so helpful and invited me to email her in case I had any questions later on. She also offered to take a photo of her Easter wreath so that I had something in front of me when the wire cutters arrived and I was able to make the wreath myself.
I will definitely sign up to more workshops like this - particularly with Paula.

This was my first Hobbycraft class. The materials arrived really quickly and everything was great. The class was really well presented and easy to follow and there are plenty of useful tips, especially for using the glue gun. The pace was good and the hour went really quickly. I’m a beginner so worked at a slower pace and I was quite behind the presenter, but it didn’t matter. I carried on after the presentation was finished. I’m really proud of my results and it’s lovely to do something just for me for a change.

a little disruptive but Irene did an excellent job my only issue is it could be a little longer and it was a waste using the boxes for a few block of fimo i dont usually make a negative review but i felt a little unhappy with todays workshop and the fact that adults cant do children workshops but you allow an adult to book two children onto an adult workshop its apparent that irene answered the question then the other child asked the same question and did not listen please stop children from taking part in adult workshops

Jane Horsewood • Apr 2023

Great, I learned lots of new things, I will definitely do a workshop again. Thanks

A very enjoyable experience learning how to use the pyrography tool. It was good to have the small pieces of wood to practise the techniques on before completing the easter egg. Nice email afterwards with some useful links on to take it further. It was a relaxing afternoon’s project - thank you.

Rugile was a brilliant instructor. She explained the steps really well. Rugile recapped where needed but also gave the next steps in case some people were ready to move on so that I was able to go at my own pace.

Claire Pomeroy • Apr 2023

This is the first workshop that I have done with Hobbycraft and I really enjoyed this Beginners Guide to Sewing Pattern Reading workshop. The Hobbycraft Artisan, Rachel, is very knowledgeable and explained everything really well. She was very helpful answering any questions I had about reading patterns. Now I can't wait to get started making something to wear. I highly recommend this workshop for any beginners out there wanting to learn about sewing patterns.

Kathryn was brilliant in guiding me through the course.
I have never done any crochet so found it quite difficult but it was great to be able to ask questions in the moment and the follow up materials will be very useful to support my learning.

Jane Woodroff • Apr 2023

Excellent tutor. Just sorry we run out of time before the project was finished. Maybe a 2 hour course would be better as the same thing happened on the beginners course for crochet we did in store previously. But it wouldn't stop us doing further courses.

The class itself was too fast paced for me. Having done the beginner’s class to crochet I thought I would give it a try but I was with a lot of experienced crocheters in my workshop and I struggled to keep up with the pace as the magic ring was a new concept for me to learn and it was difficult to grasp at first. Kathryn was very patient and tried hard to help me whilst also allowing the others to move on to next steps. The video sent after the class has helped immensely and I am gradually working on creating my first egg at my pace.

Yvonne Shepherd • Apr 2023

Diane Bath • Mar 2023

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Chrissie was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Although Chrissie explained every step clearly and thoroughly there were some members of the group that need constant attention and a great deal of patience was needed while they caught up. This resulted in only one project being made in each session. I understand that you can only go as fast as the slowest person in the class but maybe they should have tried out a different class on how to work and understand the Cricut machine before attempting this class. Other than this I really enjoyed the class and have benefited greatly from my experience. Thank you Chrissie xx

Fantastic course - I learned so much each week from Christie and an added bonus was having recordings each week which gave me a chance to review and consolidate. I’ve also done an in-store 1:1 and will be doing more on-line courses. The support for Cricut is very impressive.
The whole course was well structured and the box of materials that arrived just before the course was very generous.

Rachel was very friendly and reassuring and her explanations were clear and helpful. She was very explicit about safety and reminded us at various stages, which was useful. The pace she set was achievable, it was easy to have a go as she talked and I felt pleased with what I had done. I can see the potential to improve with practice and it was good to hear about possibilities for painting and varnishing and using the other tips. Though used to using zoom, I wasn't sure how this class would be on zoom, but in fact it worked well, although there wasn't quite the same social opportunity as an in store class because I think we were all practising so hard!

Tasters are time constrained and lots of questions seem to slow things down. A link s given at the end where questions can be sent. The 10% off a class was a good present. Thank you for having this taster class. Please Hobbycraft do more on other subjects. Especially the rug latch kit ones.

Very clear and precise instructions. alternative ways of doing patterns, which is good as we all interpret things differently.
Teacher was very patient if you were confused, she went over things again and again until you were OK.
I am a complete novice but this has helped me to gain the know-how to complete an alternate coloured squares' throw I want to crochet myself.
A quick mention, the craft pack I received had more than enough items to complete the project. Which is amazing as usually its the other way around.
I would definitely recommend this lesson to others.

Julia Connolly • Mar 2023

I think an hour was not long enough. Probably should be 1 1/2hrs. It wold also help to accommodate students with different abilities/ experience hence the longer session.

Janet Jerram • Mar 2023

Thanks RITA

S Price • Mar 2023

Tutor was excellent, giving friendly but clear instruction, and I enjoyed this class. I had not tried pyrography previously and the Tutor shared some really good tips. This kit could do with the addition of a sheet of carbon paper to make transferring the design easier.

Lindsay Bergin • Mar 2023

Loved the watercolour class, even as a complete beginner I was able to produce a lovely picture! The tutor talked through all instructions in a friendly relaxed manner, will definitely be booking another class soon.

Everything was explained clearly and there were very good explanations on how to create the different colour shades needed and different watercolour techniques. I particularly enjoyed the demonstrations of different flower types. Thank you very much for putting these free webinars on - very worthwhile!

I ended up having a one to one workshop with Gisela and it was great! She said I didn't need to turn my camera or microphone on if I didn't want to, so there was no pressure (but I did anyway!) It was so fun and relaxing and satisfying to make progress! She explained everything really well and gave a lot of great tips and pointers. The workshop was planned really well - I never felt rushed but I never felt like I was having to wait for anything. That has got to be quite a skill for an instructor who can't see what people are doing! I really loved it and am looking forward to doing another workshop (also with Gisela I believe) tomorrow!
Also, I needed my kits a bit early as I wanted to take them on holiday and everyone was so helpful in making sure that happened!

First issue was a few of us didn’t get the right drawing pad and one lady didn’t have the bunny template. A good workshop and Millie did her best with certain communication issues as her PC was echoing. It was a nice relaxing hour and although I have been drawing since artisan Louise taught me on many previous online classes the bunny was easy enough and I did mine slightly different to the way Millie explained it but that’s just me. All in all it was a good workshop. So thank you Millie

But I was so surprised and happy to have been able to do it. Kathryn was easy to understand. She was also very patient and gave step by step instructions.
We tried 2 different stitches. I would definitely recommend. Her camera set up was really good and clear to see

I was blown away with what I was able to do in just one hour. My best animal picture yet! Louise was a fantastic host - she was great at leading us through the session, providing useful hints and tips and explaining the purpose of tools I’d previously always looked at in bafflement! I can now use them! Lots of skills and techniques that I can now apply to other drawings. Thanks so much!

Chrissie was a friendly, enthusiastic and helpful guide. The class ran well over the scheduled hour and, even after that, she was happy to answer all of our questions.
She provided a welcome overview of Design Space, although I think I need further guidance on layers/welding etc, and print+cut! Maybe a Design Space Intermediate class could be offered?

Jeanne Liddiard • Mar 2023

Was a very good class and the time just flew past. It was a first for me drawing with pen and ink and it was made easy to follow and I was reasonably pleased with the end result when I finished it off today. I think I will now restart the process to address the lessons learned the first time around.

I can see further uses as well in other activities. I do a lot of copying of images using a lightpad and the pen and ink will add interest to the water colouring.

Thank you so much for running these classes.

Miss Leppert • Mar 2023

I thoroughly enjoyed this class, it was clear and precise. Every movement with the crochet hook and the wool could be seen. I had previously been able to make the chains and do double crochet, but it was great to learn the treble crochet. I do plan to book onto the other courses in the future.

Julie Green • Mar 2023

What an amazing class. Louise is a great tutor and the sessions were very relaxed. Although I didn’t complete my drawing during the sessions, Louise provided so much information and demonstrated so many techniques, I felt confident to complete the drawing on my own. I have struggled to learn how to draw for years and am thrilled with what I produced. Thank you so much.

Olwyn Mitchell • Mar 2023

Rachel was very clear, friendly and non-intimidating. Had some really helpful tips on how to vary the appearance of the stitches to get different effects, and I came away with confidence that with some practice I can put the new stitches I learned into good effect :)

The artisan, Hannah was very enthusiastic and lovely. Unfortunately, the tool sent for this workshop did not heat up enough to be of any use. The tool Hannah had flowed and marked the wood easily, but the tool provided was different. It had separate screw on nibs that the heat did not get to. It could do dots but even pressing really hard it only resulted in faint lines which did not flow just scratching the wood and it did not last long before cooling. Two people on the workshop had tools that did not work at all. If I had bought this tool direct from the shop I would have returned it. It came with several nibs but if the tool doesn’t heat up enough then it is not fit for purpose. I have looked at the reviews for this product and only 25% recommend the product. Hannah said she would email everyone on the workshop after finding a solution to the problems but so far I have not heard anything. I have done three other Hobbycraft workshops and really enjoyed them but sadly was really disappointed with this one.

Fiona Mason • Mar 2023

Can only comment on the box as was unable to attend meeting at last minute. Box arrived quickly. It was well wrapped and presented. Information was clear and informative. Both tools and resources appear to be of good quality. I am looking forward to trying them out, and hopefully developing new skills. Many thanks

Found it difficult to transfer designs onto wood through card. Paper would be better. I used tracing paper in the end. Also struggled with the basic tip we used. I tried a different tip with better results after the class. Tutor was lovely though and gave us some great tips to use in the future.

Alexandra Patrick • Mar 2023

The artisan leading the session was so informative - guiding and supporting us really well throughout the session. The session felt very rushed though as we spent about 15 minutes of the hour stripping back and cutting up the floral picks provided within the materials. If we had been pre-warned of this, perhaps we could have completed this in advance? This would allow more time within the hour to make our creation! But this wouldn’t put me off purchasing a further wreath making session - totally absorbing and I’m delighted with my very first homemade Easter wreath.

Jonathan Leung • Mar 2023

Because it is a beginner course it is better to explain all the crochet terms in more details and show how to do the different stitches step by step.

I did the 6 week Granny Squares blanket course so knew what to expect and also knew Kathryn is the best and kindest teacher ever! And she was again - it was a small class which is nice but even so we ranged from those who already knew how to crochet and those who were totally new. Kathryn coped admirably with two completely different speeds of doing things and was always happy to explain something again. The video sent to us after is a lifesaver as we didn’t actually manage to finish the egg during class. Also important for when we forget!

This was a fabulous course, really helpful and informative and really good to have six weeks to get a good grounding in many different functions on the Cricut - a good opportunity to make friends with my machine! Irene was really helpful and friendly and was happy to answer any questions. In the group setting it was good to hear questions from others too for things that I may come across in the future. I would definitely recommend this course and was quite sad on my first week after the course finished that I didn't have another session to look forward to.

Jane Thomas • Mar 2023

Carrie Potter • Mar 2023

Really friendly instructor with loads of great tips! The course was well timed and the kit came with extra templates and lino so you can do more printing after the course as well. Well worth the money and time! I bought a course for myself and my mum for Mother's Day so we could both try lino printing for the first time.

Trudi Brown • Mar 2023

I’m new to art and It’s the first class I have done like this. Lovely presenter and felt I had achieved something by the end of it. Unfortunately my Daley Rooney hair brushes from Hobby craft let me down though, sooooo many hairs came out of all the brushes so I was disappointed by that.

Very enthusiastic artisan who was endlessly encouraging! Also gave lots of useful tips and suggestions along the way. I often pay for workshops but it was nice to try something free. I appreciate that you can’t give us materials for free workshops but would have been good to be given a very clear list of materials I had to buy beforehand - I did buy acrylic paints but lacked the essential black paint. Also it happens I did already have the particular types of brushes she named and used and >220g paper but I didn’t see instructions to get these.

The presenter started the session asking us to use the template to score the lines onto our paper. Most of the group including me did not have a template so we had to draw freehand. As a complete beginner this made it difficult to follow the session. Shame as the presenter was a nice lady.

Lucy Hook • Mar 2023

Brilliant! Would highly recommend as a starting point. It was pitched at just the right level, it has got me up and running and there’s no stopping me now! Lots of great tips and the instructor was great at showing us where we’d gone wrong, nobody got left behind. Very nice and relaxed but also covered a lot of ground. Thank you!

Rachel was lovely, she gave very clear instruction. I really enjoyed the session, although I’m not sure that it entirely lived up to its title. As it was a visible mending workshop I would have liked some more actual visible mending stitches and maybe not so many decorative ones.

Karen Jones • Mar 2023

Great class, Chloe is a very good teacher and happy to answer queries both during the class and by email after the event. I would be happy to take another class with her.
The box was delivered in good condition and in plenty of time. However, the sprig of artificial flowers was not the most practical for making impressions in wet clay.

Jolynn Teather • Mar 2023

The plastic flowers is badly be packed and it was all over the bag when I open them.
The teacher uses other materials to demonstrate how to create the design which is not part of the materials provided and it probably put the students off when they basically have to just watch what was being worked on over the camera. Perhaps is to provide some extra tips to prepare some other materials.

Lynne O'Connor • Mar 2023

Claire Mark • Mar 2023

It was great to see how to do the stitches as I learn better from seeing things being done. My only criticism is that about half way through it seemed a bit rushed so that we could see all the stitches. I didn’t craft along with this but if I had I’m not sure I would have been able to keep up as I am a complete beginner

I've never embroidery before but have crossed stitch so luckily I knew my way around spliting the thread and threading the needle as that part was fast. Did enjoy it and would definitely do another. There really wasn't any need for more than one colour of thread as your not doing the flower picture on the website your just learning some of the stitches.

Nerrisa was wonderful. Very professional and great sense of humour while presenting the seminar. She took her time to explain things not only technically, but also in plain English for some of the slower minded people like myself lol. She dived into every subject and question with enthusiasm to answer. Better than I expected it to be and it was very well informative.

This was a great introduction to Lino printing for someone who had never done it before. The kit is very good value for money, you get everything you need. I did find the ink a bit too thick though but it might be possible to water it down. The time passed very quickly and I found the workshop quite therapeutic! Would certainly recommend it to anyone who is interested in seeing if it for them or just having a fun one and a half hours. The tutor explained everything very clearly and was very patient!

Kathryn was a great teacher, very patient, friendly and reassuring. Having only two of us on the course was probably helpful, given it was an online course, but the recording being available afterwards was very helpful to resting what I have learned.

Paula was a fantastic tutor. She explained how to create the wreath simply and at a good pace. She answered questions and nothing was too much bother for her. The kit was great. Thank you so much for a lovely evening. This was one of my favourite workshops. I have a lovely gift for Mother's Day on Sunday.

I really enjoyed the hobbycraft crochet Easter egg workshop. The lady who was teaching was very patient and clear with her instructions. I am super proud of the finishing egg and have made a few more since. I am still a newbie to crochet but this was brilliant.

Rebecca Bostock • Mar 2023

This is a great course to do, whether you're planning a wedding or not. The box they send is amazing, and I feel so much more confident using my cricut now. I'd never considered using vinyl before, but after using it in the course I can't wait to try out more ideas!

Kathryn was friendly and a very good tutor. It was very easy to see with the camera positioning. The three of us in the group were taught the two basic stitches and Kathryn checked along the way to make sure we were all keeping up. She was happy to answer any questions and re-demonstrate if we needed it. With a little more practice I will be able to attempt a make from the ideas on the Hobbycraft Website. All in all it was a very pleasant way to spend a cold grey Saturday morning.

Chrissie is an excellent teacher. The technique is very absorbing and skilled. All of the attendees have only partially completed the design. Lots of scope for further projects and trying the other nibs in the set.

You will see from the image below, differences in thickness of lines etc. This needs to be worked on and is difficult on first attempt.

Mrs Davies • Mar 2023

Hi, I really enjoyed learning the techniques of the individual stitches.
Really good for a beginner to follow.
Would love to do another.

Sophie Knapman • Mar 2023

Really useful workshop to learn the common stitches :) only improvements could be:

- go a little slower to give us more time to thread colours and write down the uses for each stitch

- on the email for the workshop it showed a nice design with the colours recommended for us to use, so I was expecting to learn how to create a design. The stitches were really useful and beginner friendly, but that should have been the image for the workshop

Alison Thatcher • Mar 2023

What a fantastic class, such a friendly, helpful teacher.
I really struggled with “casting off”, the teacher was so patience and kind.
I’m a total beginner and now I feel confident to have a play around. Even though I struggled at the end of the class, i haven’t come away feeling deflated.
I really enjoyed it and have started knitting straight away.

i have really enjoyed this session. clear instructions, timing right to sew along. Irene was very clear to hear, acknowledged when more time was required to thread needles etc. good close up images of stitches.

Might be helpful along with instructions/ equipment to suggest to pre cut lengths of thread ready. Also for the first practice of stitches then specific colour threads was not a necessary expenditure as 1 skein would do them all.

I began crotchet for the first time this year so am still new to it. Louise, our teacher, gave us permission to ask questions at any time but her instructions were so clear that no one in our session did. I learnt new skills and techniques that are going to be really useful. The course was very good and time went quickly. Although I did not particularly want to crotchet eggs it was useful for the techniques I learnt.

A brilliant course for those wanting to learn what can be created with their Cricut machine. Chrissie was a great teacher, so knowledgeable and patient. A little knowledge of how to find your way around Design Space would be helpful but Chrissie appears to know everything, even when things go wrong. A lovely box of goodies arrives, some of which will be used during the lessons and some bits extra to practice on your own afterwards.
I'd love to do more of these courses if they were available. Possibly having laptop/iPad specific courses may be good

Jann Heigh • Mar 2023

7 ClassBento workshops attended • 6 reviews

As with the three other courses I've done although asked to join 10 mins before it was after the start time when the tutor appeared. She spoke very, very quickly and rattled through things without giving people the opportunity ask questions or get clarification. I finished after time but still didn't cover all the techniques on the template (i.e. I think the Posca pen was used in one part of the design.
If the tutor had been available prior to the stated start time of 6.30pm rapport could have been stablished. As it was she had to go faster than the. speed of sound to catch up with what she wanted to teach/demonstrate.

Highly recommend. I have just completed the 6 week Cricut course. My teachers were Irene and Rachel. Both were helpful, informative and gave good advice. I have had my machine a while but didn’t understand a lot of the jargon I’d seen online, so I’d done very little. The box of goodies that came with this course was excellent ! This course gave me the confidence I needed and now I can’t stop making things. Thank you so much.

Thank you Hobbycraft for offering a free webinar to celebrate National Craft Month! I took the loom weaving class last year so this was a great refresher and I was able to use the kit I had received previously which still had plenty leftover. I worked along with the tutor who provided great instruction. It has inspired me to finish another weaving.

Rachel is an excellent tutor. I really enjoyed this workshop, it's so much easier to learn when someone demonstrates at the same time as describing. This is a good value workshop as I now have some clever ideas to repair clothes in a pretty way plus I can use the embroidery stitches leant today for embroidery projects.

Wow! This course is such good value. You can spend almost the cost of the course on the box of supplies alone but then you have all the experience and guidance of the artisan teacher. It’s great being online as you can use your own machine/laptop and follow the instructions and ask anything at any point and go over instructions if necessary. My teacher was Chrissie. She was fun, easy to listen to and I’m going to miss my Wednesday nights with her fabulous support. Highly recommend this course xx

Yvonne Gray • Mar 2023

Tanya Morgan • Feb 2023

Loved this course! As an absolute beginner I was nervous but the Tutor was fantastic.She went through the contents of the box explaining everything and we followed her through the steps to set up the loom.She then showed us how to do 3or 4types of which to create the decoration as opposite.A very professional lady,passionate about all textiles.Am able to contact her for a more detailed video she has made of the course should I feel in need of further help.

A really lovely class, Emma was a good instructor, giving clear instructions and good advice. She described the various techniques and encouraged experimentation. The subject was very engaging and the time went quickly. I would recommend this to beginners who are worried about starting drawing, as a doodle, it teaches basics really well.

Alison McKenzie • Feb 2023

Kathryn is a great teacher. She explained everything very clearly and the overhead camera was very clear. She was patient and took time to review what I was doing. I was very lucky to have 1-2-1 session with her. Thank you.

Jenifer Neaverson • Feb 2023

Great course. My crochet has really improved! I had done some a long time before but couldn't follow a pattern and couldn't remember the stitches. Kathryn is really friendly and patient, doesn't mind going over things, explains the pattern and abbreviations and gives lots of tips to help. All the wool, pattern, crochet hook etc arrived before the course so didn't need to worry about getting extra bits. Thoroughly recommend thank you Kathryn

Tracey Mansfield • Feb 2023

I really enjoyed this workshop. The tutor was very good and showed us step by step how to do each stitch. She talked through each stage of the stitches and checked in with each of us to make sure we were keeping up and didn't have any problems. If anyone on the workshop were unsure, she took it back a step and showed us again. I was confident by the end of it that I knew how to make the chain, how to count the stitches, how to make a double crochet and a treble. I have been practising this weekend and am looking forward to my next project. The box I received prior to doing the workshop was also really good and very exciting to open.

Great clear tuition, but I quickly got left behind. I think rather than trying to cram in a whole design, the workshop should just consist of practising different stitches, and then include a project to go and complete after the workshop. This is what I ended up doing in the workshop itself.
Really enjoyed it though, and another great session from Emma. I just think completing a design in 1.5 hours was a bit too ambitious - but maybe I was just a bit slow!

Rebecca McGrath • Feb 2023

I would recommend this course to anyone buying a cricut machine for the first time.

Orsolya Borbath • Feb 2023

Loved taking part in this class, it exceeded all my expectations!
The tutor is incredibly supportive, friendly and patient. This helped me build confidence, as I had zero prior knowledge, just a sewing machine that I wanted to start using! She gave me loads of helpful tips and tricks that would've otherwise taken me ages to figure out. I honestly can't fault anything about this class, I am really happy to finally be able to start sewing, which I was putting off for so long due to the biggest barrier of all - lack of basic knowledge about a sewing machine :)

Lana Hughes • Feb 2023

Rachel was very friendly, helpful & patient in explaining all the stages in order to troubleshoot the problems I was encountering! Helping explain step by step the ways to check my machine & to keep up regular maintenance. I'd say super helpful even to those who already sew a bit (like myself) I still learnt a lot!

Helen Evans • Feb 2023

Only gave the class an "OK" as I had an idea of what to expect but I'm still just as confused by social media as I was before.

Kathryn Brown • Feb 2023

Pre class instructions were clear. Equipment pack arrived in good time. Joining link simple to follow. I was surprised, but happy that class was 1 to 1. Regile was friendly, and quickly explained what to do if there was a technical hitch. She went through use of the equipment, and trying it. She checked at regular intervals if I had questions. The class went at a good speed for me, and although I am a complete beginner, I was able to follow the stages with confidence. I am very happy that this class has given me the basics to be able to experiment and progress on my own. Regile explained how I can get in touch if I have any queries.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 6 week workshop. I wasn’t particularly interested in the fact it was geared towards weddings but found the skills transfer table to what I make. I am quite experienced at some of the elements already but found the tips very helpful. Chrissie was wonderful. So patient with some of the group who were basically taking their Cricut out of the box on the first week. Love the fact you get all the fit as part of the course. I would recommend this course.

We had a lovely group of people and I looked forward to the session each week. I am so pleased to have a finished blanket now. Thank you

excellant to get started in macrame, found it quite theraputic. Looks like I am adding a new craft to what I know. Fully recommend this for anyone to do. Make sure you read what you need to prep correctly as I cut my yarn too short reading as 1.5 should have been 3.5, doh. so had to re do. Really enjoyed once I got going.

Claire Edwards • Feb 2023

Great online course. The price is very reasonable for the box with all the equipment and tools needed to complete a Loom Weaving Wall Hanger.

The lady who delivered the course explained things clearly, allowing time for us all to keep up and ask questions on anything we didn't understand.

I would highly recommend this as a fun course to get started Loom Weaving.

Well worth the money and enjoyed it all :-)

Great online crochet course! I'd tried learning from books before with no luck, whereas this course had me picking up stitches fast. The teacher went at a pace to suit the group, checking on progress, recapping and answering questions. Great camera view of her demonstrating the stitches making it easy to see the detailed movement, much better than a group crowding round a table to see. Links were shared to other Hobbycraft videos, and I've been able to follow those to pick up new stitches. Also, receiving the box with the wool and crochet hook was a treat and well presented. Thanks :)

I loved the workshop. Finally decided to attend one. The workshop was non stop (the time went very quick) and it allowed to learn 4 different techniques. It is pity that you need to use so much paint and then a good amount goes for waste but it is necessary so that you have enough to move around, to cover the whole canvas. If you enjoy painting in general, have a go, you are going to have a great hour.

yes we were novices but I actually had hoped that 'the box' that I would be purchasing would be opened and then I would be shown its contents and what I could do with it
what could I make with what I had
not have to buy this, that or the other
i wanted to know what I could do now

Helen Bryant • Feb 2023

A good introductory workshop made better as a shared experience with friends. We look forward to sharing our final projects with each other and would book another workshop.

Rachel was great she explained in great detail how to make the candles. My first kit arrived with some damaged items but a replacement kit was sent the next day.

It felt rushed at times and was hard to catch up but she definitely made it look easier than it was

Very good and informative, I was hoping for more in the way of how the machines work rather than the design aspect, but happy with what I learnt from it.

The lady running the course was very knowledgeable and had lots of great ideas. It was just a shame she chose to cut white vinyl on a white background on a white desk - made it very had to see what was actually happening.

We thoroughly enjoyed our acrylic pouring workshop with Rugile. She was absolutely lovely, never tried to rush us, and was very encouraging of us. Everything was explained very well, any questions or curiosities we had were answered with amazing knowledge - we left the workshop very excited to do more pouring, and like that we had plenty of supplies left to do so.

This was a great, if basic, introduction to brush lettering with a lovely kit and great instruction from the wonderful Hannah. I’m attaching some pictures as requested as I was the participant with the “crunchy “ pen hold :)

Maggie Bolt • Feb 2023

Instructor was enthusiastic and very good. Loved the kit that arrived beforehand but unfortunately the blades they supplied were completely blunt. Luckily I had some of my own. I was the only participant so it was wonderful.

Nikki Renyard • Feb 2023

Brilliant class! I’ve wanted to learn to crochet for years but needed someone to show me. Kathryn was really clear, very helpful and I can now crochet! I’d love a follow up class on how to make something specific, how to follow a pattern, change colour etc

A fab introduction into the wonderful world of loom weaving hosted online by Paula. Our host was very enthusiastic, patient and made sure that everyone was able to carry out the different types of weave before moving onto the next example. The box kit supplied has everything you need to attempt the first loom weave during the tutorial and plenty left over for you to craft some others. Highly recommended workshop!

Another fantastic online course with hobbycraft … the tutor explained everything so well, and demonstrated three different techniques to be able to make a wall hanging. Not finished mine yet, but I did do some more after the class, so I’m looking forward to finishing it and hanging it on my wall

Super class - really helpful, well presented. I wish I’d done it weeks ago! Great to have the opportunity to ask lots of questions too. I’d recommend to anyone who is even thinking of buying a Maker 3.

Lisa Aulsebrook • Feb 2023

The course covered many aspects of using a Cricut machine and was really helpful for getting started. I would recommend learning about the Cricut Design app/ software before the class starts as it will make it much easier going. And if you can use different devices for zoom and the cricut software it will be a bit easier as well (I couldn’t but I managed, although it did make it more difficult). Hobbycraft sent a box of materials to use in the class to make a variety of projects, it was very well thought out and I had everything I needed (and then some). One thing i needed to purchase was a cutting mat to go with the machine, so if you don’t have one you should get at least the one for cutting card before the 1st class. I had to miss one class and they were able to re-schedule me to make it up with another group at another time. A really well-considered class and I will be looking to book another when i have finished practicing my new skills.

Joe Newton • Feb 2023

I never received my parcel to even take part in the class and you stopped replying to my messages! I am very disappointed and angry at your customer services.

Christine Goddard • Feb 2023

Rachel was great. She was extremely friendly putting you at ease using zoom and explaining every thing before starting the demonstration. The actual hands on section that followed was amazingly easy as we were then so well prepared followed by ample time for questions. My kitchen smelled amazing afterwards. Glad I joined in and cant wait to light the candles in a weeks time.

Glenda Gould • Feb 2023

9 ClassBento workshops attended • 8 reviews

it was great to be able to have a go under guidance
it was obvious that I need more practice!
the tutor was great and very understanding

she seemed at times to be making marks on the lino that could not be seen on camera but became apparent once the ink was applied and a press made
maybe referral could be made to the finished print so that all could see what the finished outcome was to be

I did enjoy the session and would like to have another go

The artisan demonstrated everything clearly and was more than happy to answer questions or repeat and re demonstrate things as required. It was a full class and she kept checking and waiting for everyone to have a go at each part which was helpful. The pack was good quality and contained the instructions for the stitches, The artisan also provided a link to hobbycraft youtube videos to help us as we continue our crochet after the class. Thank you.

Louise explained each step so comprehensively and seemed to anticipate what questions were in our heads. Quite a feat to be brand new to watercolours and for us to be able to do and finish a picture in one hour. All down to great instructions!

Barbara Panther • Feb 2023

Think some previous knowledge would’ve helped as it was not easy to follow . Preview shows you with a finished square but you only do 2 rows not enough to establish knowledge of a stitch . I think you need to be in person , didn’t work on zoom for me .

A great introduction to loom weaving, with 3 techniques explained really clearly. The class isn't long enough to finish the piece completely, but you're given all the information you need to complete it independently, and lots of support offered if you need it after the class. You also get loads of materials in the pack so you can practice multiple times.

Gemma Stacey • Feb 2023

Very clear demonstration of basic stitches. Opportunity to practice whilst watching was very helpful to be sure the stitch was correct.
Unsure if there are workshops for the next stage but if not maybe something about how to change yarn colour would be good

Heddwen Roberts • Feb 2023

I felt that the lesson was a bit rushed. Another half an hour explaining the technique and how to hold the pen would have been beneficial.

Fantastic session! Learnt so much in an hour. I wasn’t sure how it would work on zoom but it was so well taught on camera could’ve been in same room, yet had the easiness off using zoom! I went from not knowing where to start to feeling confident on machine and motivated to get sewing projects!

Alison Ronald • Feb 2023

It ended up being a one to one class which I have to say relaxed me as I'm not a Zoom user. The teacher was really nice and helpful giving me lots of tips along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and felt it was worth the money.

Teacher Paula explained the various techniques in a patient manner. Our group was small so allowed us to ask questions. I have not painted since school and have never done watercolour. A good introduction to watercolours. I would definitely do another workshop with Paula.

Mary Painter • Feb 2023

Kathryn was very good and it was easy to follow her. The only drawback was she couldn't see what we were doing unless we held up our work. At an in person class she could do this. So not as good online but a well presented class for beginners.

Liz Gaywood • Feb 2023

The class was a very helpful to start to crochet. It was sometimes hard to follow but that wasn't the tutor, it was more just being online, the tutor helped with this by repeating steps to ensure everyone was following what to do next.

Yvette Guthrie • Feb 2023

It was a very easy and informative class showing all the basics to get started. I just need to keep practicing now.

That is multiple names for Honours Boards.

Highly recommend this method of training.

Michelle Stott • Feb 2023

This was my first hobbycraft online workshop. The teacher answered all questions and the pace was good. Friendly teacher, ensured I felt comfortable enough to ask questions.

Great fun to try paint pouring techniques using a white and then black base colour. Emma was friendly and encouraging providing lots of suggestions and even followed up with links providing further ideas and information. The kit provided by Hobbycraft was great too. Lots of lovely colours left so can continue to experiment with pouring techniques.
I would highly recommend this class.

I found the pace of the session too fast not enough time to watch and then practice.
In answer to a question I raised I was told there would be some links to a more minimalistic style of brush lettering, however that only seems to be available by purchasing a book. I am not sure why there is an A5 notebook included it seems to have no relevance, not mentioned.
The projects such as the coaster and tea light holder do not include the actual coaster and tea light holder in the list of things to buy from Hobbycraft

Joanne Stoakes • Feb 2023

Excellent experience with the online one to one, shown how to set up the machine and how to maintain it and shown how to complete certain stitches with all the different settings along with how to create a first couple of projects in bag making and hair accessories would definitely recommend to anyone starting with a machine for the first time or with help on a project very informative and well knowledgeable will most likely be using this service again in the future for help with other projects

Tania Clarence • Feb 2023

The session was useful, but perhaps too short. What would be great is if there was a way we could rewatch the session as there were so many useful tips that I could not keep up/write them all down. Chrissie, the presenter' was lovely though and for £5.00 it was a good deal.

Great workshop which took place at a good pace for all skill levels. You won’t get the project completed in the session but you will come away with a solid start and the skills to complete it. I was a total beginner and really hope they do more courses like this throughout the year to build my skills. Rachel was a great teacher. I’ll sign up for more classes in the future as they are great value when you include the kit you get as well as tuition

The teacher was very articulate and precise in her teaching of how to carve the block. She seemed to cover most things and was happy to answer questions.
She gave us lots of ideas of how to make the design ourown.

But the actual block (lino) we carved was very hard and so I slipped a lot when carving it and it did not print well. In fact I was disappointed when I printed my design.

Please thank her for a very enjoyable introduction to lino printing.

Kathryn is so wonderful at explaining exactly what needs to be done and also in supporting everyone to make sure they can achieve it. Thank you so much!

Ellie Wilson • Feb 2023

I thought that the call was a nice idea and as much as I learned things I didn't quite feel like I could ask questions or say I was confused as it didn't feel much like a beginners lesson. The way things were phrased made it almost feel as if we should have known what we were doing

Tracey Corre • Feb 2023

I really enjoyed my beginners crochet course. The instructor was clear and informative with close up shots at all times. The kit arrived a few days before and was beautifully packaged. Added bonus being there are a number of free patterns on Hobbycraft website. Thank you.

She has a good manner, was well prepared and most important of all, Holly made me feel positive, that with practice, I can develop my own style and be proficient in writing beautifully.
I would fully recommend this course

Thoroughly enjoyable and I will have a go on my own in my own time. Thank you Louise

Samantha Brewer • Feb 2023

Kathryn was very warm and friendly and instantly put me at ease. She was very knowledgable, and explained things clearly and made everything easy to understand. She demonstrated the various techniques really well, and allowed me enough time to get a full grasp of it. I was then able to practice it before moving onto the next stage. Fantastic introduction, thoroughly enjoyable workshop, thank you!

Josie Heffernan • Feb 2023

Great fun. Be prepared to get very messy especially with your dominant paint colour on everything. Kitchen towel, wet wipes & j-cloth to hand. We learnt 2 techniques, but I preferred the first one of 4 colours in a plastic cup tipped upside down then dragged to the edges. Had such an excess of paint on my plastic sheet I used it to create another piece. Will use a metal tray in future as loads of paint left & a large & small board. Loved this new experience and the results.

Gail Payne • Feb 2023

I found that this gave me the confidence to have a play around, I’d say maybe I needed to have found an absolute beginners class as I wasn’t familiar with the program therefore got a little lost at times, however Cassie was fantastic in her delivery of the course and I would recommend new starters take this course, even for more understanding than you might already have! Thanks again

Thank you Louise!

Jane Hughes • Jan 2023

I enjoyed embroidery but I feel like the class was quite rushed and as we only just got finished on time, I don't think there was time to ask for a revisit of any of the stitching methods. I was unsuccessful with 4 of the 7 stitching types but the class had already moved onto the next exercise. the kit was good though and the girl seemed really nice.

Kathy Gould • Jan 2023

Really enjoyable workshop. Rugilee explained everything in so much detail and you could tell how experienced and passionate she was about acrylic pouring. I'm no good at painting anything that looks like something, but I came away with a couple of canvases that look really good. I enjoyed it so much, I did another canvas straight after!

It was a terrific course, can't praise Artisan Kathryn enough for her patience and kindness. I really struggled in the beginning far more than anyone else thanks to being left handed, a complete novice to crochet without any similar background like knitting which most did, and suffering Long Covid with brain fog. I felt useless and that I'd have to drop out after the first session. But Kathryn found a solution and checked in specifically to help me along, and I managed to get my head round it eventually, and even enjoy crochet now and want to do more, once I finish this blanket. Which is definitely credit to her!

Amanda Richmond • Jan 2023

Excellent tutor. I really enjoyed the class and it gave me confidence to continue with the subject

Carol Hackman • Jan 2023

Only reason it’s “good” and not “great” is that it felt as though Chrissie had a TON of knowledge, but not enough time to properly share it. A really great basic introduction to the Maker 3 though.

I had already decided that I will need a 1 to 1 session in store. I think this is the best way for me to learn as I start to make something. Thank you.

I have just finished the online course 'Beginner's Guide to Brush Lettering' with Rugile who was a great tutor. It turned out to be a one-to-one class, the pace was perfect for me and Rugile explained everything I needed to know in a clear and simple manner whilst encouraging me to ask as many questions as I needed along the way. I enjoyed every moment and can thoroughly recommend this workshop, it is just up to me now to put the practice in. Thank you so much for your patience Rugile and for sharing your contact details with me in case I need support in the future. I will definitely be joining more classes in the future.

We have done a couple of these online classes now. They are a great way to spend an hour as a family. The craft box you receive has plenty in it. We got two pieces of art done in the class and have the tools and knowledge to try two more at our own leisure without having to purchase any more products. Our only issue this time was that the teacher went very fast. She spoke very fast and did her paint pouring fast. We asked her to slow down and she said she would and did slow down somewhat thankfully so we could try and catch up. We still had about 10mins to spare at the end. Could she perhaps have shown us some more examples of ones she’d made earlier so we could get some more inspiration? We will no doubt do another one. Thank you.

Sharon Cox • Jan 2023

Really excellent introductory session led by Rachel.
Pace was just right to get an understanding of the basics, ask questions and start work on a lovely embroidery piece.
Very good value and great fun too!
Thank you!

Carly Mayling-Brown • Jan 2023

Really good fun! Simple and effective, an enjoyable way to spend an hour and plenty of kit left to have another go.

Emma was an excellent teacher. I think I need to do a lot of proactive though

Julie Hogg • Jan 2023

Really enjoyed the online workshop. This gave me a refresh on pattern reading and brought back lots of knowledge that I had previously learned but had lost confidence. I feel ready to now have a go at a new pattern.

This workshop was very enjoyable. Louise was very friendly and gave helpful tips throughout. The whole event was very well organised from the delivery of the art packs to the running and timing of the workshop. The pace was just right too. I hope my daughter and I will use the art supplies and tips to paint many more pictures. These workshops could also be a lovely gift.

Really enjoyed this class. I'd never picked up a crochet hook before and I ended the lesson with 2 small pieces. Thanks Kathryn!

Kevin Panter • Jan 2023

The lino printing workshop hosted by Rugile was great. Rugile took time to explain all of the tools and processes and give hints on how to improve and experiment in the future.

Hayley Maycock • Jan 2023

The teacher was very clear and explained so much. I found the class very relaxing and enjoyed it so much. It was a birthday gift. I can’t wait to look at other courses.

Ann Bench • Jan 2023

Louise was excellent at explaining what to do and why. We could have done with a bit more time for painting the trees at the end. It was very enjoyable and well worth doing.

Val • Jan 2023

Really enjoyed it easy to understand

Pauline Bazett • Jan 2023

Really enjoyable session which was paced for beginners as described. Kathryn, the tutor, ensured everyone was keeping up with the tutorial and was happy to recap where required.

As a left-hander I thought I would really struggle but as Kathryn said, it worked fine to do the crocheting as a right-hander instead.

Thanks very much.

Linda King • Jan 2023

Kathryn is an excellent tutor. Very clear in her demonstration. I took advantage of the discounted workshop price to have another attempt at learning to crochet and this time its clicked. Thank you Kathryn.

Christina Cullen • Jan 2023

Really enjoyed the online course. The tutor was lovely and very good at explaining what to do. The kit I received was beyond expectation. Would recommend this course, it was fun, as interactive as you want it to be and very good value for money. Can't wait to try more link cutting and will definitely try out other Hobby craft courses.

Jan Barrow • Jan 2023

Rachel was fantastic. She had a heck of a lot to fit into an hour, but she was a consummate professional, and even allowed us to ask questions during the demonstration, even though time was limited. She clearly knows her stuff too, and has a lovely personable helpful manner :)

Angela Vannet • Jan 2023

Emma was an excellent tutor, everything explained very clearly and time taken to go over any questions. Very enjoyable workshop with a super host. Thankyou

I really enjoyed my one-on-one with Chrissie. She was really understanding and explained everything clearly and with extra tips to improve my finished product. I was a very nervous starter and this class helped boost my confidence to try more.
Great value for money. Highly recommend.

Yvonne Shepherd • Jan 2023

Once we got to the painting, I really enjoyed the class but I felt the artisan gave an introduction that was a bit too long and it was almost 20 mins into the class before we actually began putting water on the paper. As the class was only an hour, this meant the trees at the end were too rushed and i found the technique modelled with the fan brush difficult to apply and modelled too quickly so I have not yet added them to my landscape painting.

Yvonne Shepherd • Jan 2023

61 ClassBento workshops attended • 30 reviews

Very enjoyable, relaxing and well paced class. The resources provided in the pack were excellent and Louise explained and modelled all the steps clearly. I felt the class was the perfect length of time and it was a lovely way to spend the morning. Thank you.

Holly was a good source of information- I wasn’t crafting along and have done iron on vinyl before so pace was good. I have just purchased a heat press so seeing Holly use hers was great for me. My second course with different artisans and both have been really useful.

Lucy Miller • Jan 2023

Kathryn was really helpful and patient with everyone on the course. I struggled (being left handed) but she took the time to go through both methods.

Jenny Thomas • Jan 2023

Lovely evening last night doing this! Holly was fab! Inspired to try lots of others! Would have been great to know greaseproof paper and a rolling pin needed.

Christine Findlay • Jan 2023

Having a class specifically for left handed people was such a treat. The materials supplied were great and good quality. Chrissie, our instructor was very friendly and answered any questions. It was a lovely relaxing hour spent trying out a new hobby. Thank you.

Jane • Jan 2023

Good fun with a friendly instructor Holly

Ruth • Jan 2023

Loved it , wasn't rushed adn there was plenty of time to work through the lesson. It would've been better if we'd received instructions ahead of time about having a few items available at the start eg scissors , rolling pin , grease proof paper and to be mindful of clay on carpets , clothes and table.

Ann Blakeman • Jan 2023

I enjoyed making stars with air clay. we recived all the tools . cutting out shapes were good as some had problems with the clay. was not too wet.

Can you consider running a left handed crochet course please.

Jeshin Murugiah • Jan 2023

We thought it was really great! The artisans were exceptional and they were very good at teaching the students the basics of crochet and especially helping one-on-one. They maintained a friendly environment throughout and it was altogether a very enjoyable experience!

Really enjoyed this mode of learning.beginners Crochet •classTutor gave clear instructions and demonstrated well.
• I wear hearing aids in both ears and I missed the summary details of the lesson e.g. videos to watch etc and contact that would enable practise of the stitches demonstrated.

Susan Keen • Jan 2023

The instructions were clear but because of latecomers the initial casting on stitch was explained over and over again. It wasted over 20 minutes of the tutorial. Because of this the last part of the tutorial seemed very rushed and the instructions unclear.

Barbara Goodall • Jan 2023

It was very good clear easy to follow time given to participate. Good time for questions at end and good follow up.

Gillian Wright • Jan 2023

Great teacher giving clear verbal instructions while demonstrating techniques. Very patient with class members who were struggling. We had one member of the group who was left-handed. Did slow things down a little having to also demonstrate the left-handed method.
Good to have the paper instructions arrive with the crochet kit which allowed me to have a practice before the class.

Would like to see a next level course.

Not only did I develop my crochet skills (I only started 2 months before the course) but this was the best self care moment of my week. Thoroughly enjoyed the course, my fellow crocheters and of course, Kathryn our tutor was awesome! Highly recommended & I hope there is an intermediate skills course next!

Beverly Priddle • Jan 2023

Terri demonstrated each technique several times, as needed. She described the technique as she was working, to increase our understanding. Terri kept asking how we were doing and would demonstrate again, if necessary. She was specially helpful to a left handed member of the group. Terri was full of encouragement! I think I shall check out the beginner's sewing workshop!

I previously did a class with Gisela (loom weaving) and she was so full of energy and passion for her craft and so approachable (I emailed her after to ask about how to finish off some knots) that I did the macrame plant holder class. I was delighted to see that my discount code worked and I will definitely be using it on another class run by Gisela. I’m hoping that she gets the go ahead to do a macrame necklace class and a needle felting workshop as they sound great. I have a fair amount of experience with macrame but still learnt quite a few new things in her class and she also showed the class how one can fuse the crafts of macrame and loom weaving. Very inspiring!

It was ok. One of the other participants kept talking all the time. Also the pot in the pack was broken and when I raised this with customer services, they were unable to find my order!

Lesley Kent • Jan 2023

What a lovely way to spend an evening! Thoroughly enjoyed learning with Gisela, who explained the knots really clearly.
If she does a needle-felting course, I would love to attend.
Many thanks,

The one-to-one sewing machine session was brilliant. Hannah answered all my questions, and clearly demonstrated methods and how to use the machine accessories. She patiently showed me more than once until I clearly understood the method. She also gave me little tips so that I can get the best out of my new machine.
Thank you so much

Jeanette Tebi • Jan 2023

I was unable to attend the planned course so very disappointed (as only booked week before). I will try to use the weaving kit using on-line video to set-up the loom. However, it would be great to be sent video of the training session if possible to all (planned) participants to review during their project.

Mhairi Cavers • Jan 2023

Hannah was great, very friendly and I'd feel very happy, and am pleased to be offered, to reach out to her with any questions. It's a great service to offer. It was maybe a bit fast going and a bit more time could be spent better explaining some more basics on the patterns. Maybe it would be a good idea to ask what stage of sewing the audience is at so she knows what level to pitch it at and where more detail might be needed. However, she was very open to questions.

The session was enjoyed by everyone. Rachel led the session well and was clear and encouraging. Everyone produced something to take away. She accommodated the late start and gave us the full time allowed for the session. At times it went a bit too quickly but we understand there was a lot to cover in the amount of time.
The boxes with the materials were delivered in good time and contained all what we needed for the activity.

Elaine Mason • Jan 2023

The materials supplied were of a good quality and much more than needed for the class. Our tutor was excellent. Her instruction was clear, her attitude friendly and her timing perfect.
A very enjoyable and inspiring hour- thank you!

Carol Nixon • Jan 2023

I was late getting on but just in time for the very lovely lady, whose name I missed- sorry, to start showing us how to crochet!

Well done Hobby craft!

Hi, I thoroughly enjoyed this event, (it’s my first Hobbycraft class), and the tutor Rugilee was very helpful and explained everything in easy to understand detail.

I’d definitely book on another Zoom class again as it was great to take part from the comfort of my own house. Thank you!

Lesley Phillips • Jan 2023

Absolutely wonderful session with very clear instructions from Gisela. I didn’t feel rushed and there was time to repeat the bit I had a problem with. She gave some great tips and even helped me with a macramé knot.

Lesley Dorrell • Jan 2023

Fantastic, the hour went so quickly. Learnt it's ok not to do it all on one go and I'm not going to be an expert in one lesson. Fantastic tutor open to question. I would definitely recommend this course

I am so pleased I booked the cricut workshop, I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant and knowledgeable person than my tutor Irene, she provided structure and meaning to the whole lesson making it easy to follow and answering all my questions, such great value for the price paid.
Irene followed up with a summary email afterwards, attaching an overview on each section that she covered with me during the lesson. I also received a 10% discount code to use towards further workshops or accessories. I will definitely be booking more workshops. Thank you hobby craft and Irene.

Gillian Poulter • Jan 2023

the course was informative and the presenter very good at answering questions and explaining the process. However I felt the quality of ink provided was poor. It pooled in the tray and no matter how often you rolled it out to make a full cover in the tray it would retract and gather like oil on water in the tray and on the roller. It made having a successful even roll on the tile very difficult for beginners and the outcomes were not as we would have hoped. My fellow student had used printing ink before and felt it was too quick drying. Whatever was the problem it spoilt the experience, although the presenter did her best to help us with the problem and gave us tips to avoid it.

Elaine Townsley • Jan 2023

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Just a suggestion. The example letters were on the left of the template so when I practiced my left hand was covering the letters so hard to follow. Maybe put the letters on the right of the template then they are visible when practising, if this makes sense, otherwise the class was good as a starter

Eleanor Thomson • Jan 2023

This was a very enjoyable class! Great tutor who provided detailed explanations.
Only downside was the ink dried very quickly. For beginners it may be better to provide slow drying ink

This was a great session. I’ve had my cricut for a while and never totally understood design space I just fudged a lot of what I did. This session with Irene helped me to understand all the bits I was struggling with. It also helped me to realise I’ve probably made my crafting more difficult using a tablet than a laptop for my cricut. Thanks Irene. Really enjoyed the session. You were fab!

A great beginners class. Louise took us slowly through the steps. I had crocheted when I was a child so it brought back memories of that and that also I remembered so much. I also feel that I would be able to follow/read a pattern now and have a go at making something and will think about doing the Granny square course now.

Catherine Pugh • Jan 2023

This was a lovely class! Louise was very thorough and helpful, and it was a really nice relaxing thing to do after work! I definitely feel like I now understand crochet a lot better than when I've tried to pick it up with other tutorials so was certainly worthwhile. Thank you!

Was really looking forward to this class and it did not disappoint What a fantastic class, I thoroughly enjoyed it Irene was incredibly helpful and informative, went at the right pace, not too fast, didn't rush and took her time, yet managed to cover a whole multitude of information. Spoke very clearly with great diction which is very helpful for me as I am partially deaf and sometimes struggle with zoom. Showed us visually throughout which was incredibly helpful and fully knew her way around the design space with ease. Would thoroughly recommend her Thank you so so much Irene :) Kind regards, Becky

The lesson was easy to follow with plenty of opportunity to ask questions or request for help. Paula was enthusiastic, helpful, very experienced and keen that we should all get the most out of our session. The hour flew by and I found it very reassuring that we were given Paula's email address for any follow-up queries, advice or comments on our paintings. Thank you Paula and Hobbycraft.

Lucy Kingdon • Jan 2023

I was lucky enough to have a one-on-one lesson with Gisela where she taught me the four starter knots needed to make this plant holder. The kit was awesome - it has enough materials to make two plant holders! I had a wonderful time and this was so much fun. Thank you so much, Hobbycraft & Gisela!

I have used sewing machine before but without any knowledge, now understand about bobbin winding (which I was doing wrong), tension, and that mystery that is where the bobbin goes and the krypton factor of all those bits ( which I won't be worried about tackling if needed). Very good for beginners or if you haven't used machine in years

The tutor gave lots of handy tips whilst demonstrating the basics of lino cutting. she was patient and you felt if necessary you could ask a question at the end. She only had time to demonstrate one of the stencils but the instructions & tips would be the same for the other stencil. Everything you need for the session is included in the kit which arrived in plenty of time and well packaged. Treat yourself & learn a new craft.

Joanne Peel • Jan 2023

Christie brought energy and enthusiasm and packed a lot in. I think there could be interest in a whole series of Cricut workshops built around either different materials or different types of product.

The workshop was good. Kathryn very patient and the use of zoom showing her hands in close up very good so we could see the stitches being formed on her
knitting needles. We did have one left handed knitter which meant we didn't have time to try casting off but Kathryn gave us a youtube link as a left handed knitter needs to be shown everything in reverse to a right handed knitter which took more of Kathryn's time.

I learned 3 different techniques and although I didn’t get my piece finished I feel very confident that I have the (beginners) skills to finish it.
There’s a follow up video to take me through the finishing off techniques.
Gisela also gave great suggestions as to what I could make on the loom and how I can stitch pieces together to make scarfs etc.
Very impressed and really pleased I did this excellent course!

We were left with a suggestion sheet and the challenge to do something about it. I hope over the coming weeks to try things out - and we will see what happens! Meanwhile I have booked two more sessions on the same theme - marketing and PR.

The instructor was really friendly and helpful - my daughter LOVED the candle making workshop. Thank you!

Kimberley Quirke • Jan 2023

Rachel was very clear and knowledgeable and even though she had a different model of sewing machine to mine for the session, she had downloaded the manual for my own brand and model, together with a photograph, on which she was able to point out all the different buttons and parts of my machine and tell me how each worked.
This was very thorough and I feel I now have a very good understanding of how everything on my machine works. I would highly recommend Rachel as a clear, personable and knowledgeable trainer.

Good information on different types of pencils and what they are best used for. As a complete beginner I did take longer but that was no problem for Paula. Outcome was better for the latter part of sketch when better understood what I was doing. Paula was enthusiastic and has inspired me to keep sketching. I loved it.

The session was delivered really well and I enjoyed it. It was difficult to catch up at times when there was a big group, that is due to my ability rather than the facilitators delivery. I will attend it person for a first session next time as it really helps having someone present to check in with. I would book another session in future.

George Watret-Lees • Jan 2023

Chloe was incredible and talked us through everything well and very friendly, would highly recommend. Made us want to do more online classes

Chrissie was absolutely brilliant. I was a little nervous at the beginning, but that soon changed. Chrissie made me feel at ease straight away…felt like I was chatting to a friend. Nothing was any trouble, she answered all my questions no matter what they were. I learnt so much in a short time which was so helpful. I would defo recommend this lady and look forward to having more classes with her.

Hailey Thompson-Burrows • Jan 2023

This was an enjoyable class which was well paced and had plenty of time so it wasn’t rushed. The materials provided were good quality and fit for purpose. It was a little difficult to see the technique the artisan was using to cut the lino on the camera - mine didn’t seem to cut as deep as hers but i was able to carry out the techniques to create a good result for a first attempt. I will definitely give the other template a go and add some more details to the first one.

Catherine Cash-Harvey • Jan 2023

Not suitable for me, the lady was demonstrating on a laptop but I use an iPad so unfortunately as she raced through Cricut design space my version was entirely different. I left the class early, however I’m sure it could have been useful to someone else.

Really great course! As new member of the cricut family, I found the sessions extremely helpful. I picked up time saving tips and tricks using design space (eg. Aligning, welding, resizing) and I now feel confident using these! I learned different techniques for using all types of materials eg. Iron on vinyl, premium vinyl and cardstock. I was very impressed by the variety of materials provided as part of the course. Chrissie was an outstanding teaching too. Highly recommended this to anyone, particularly those who have just started out in the cricut world.

Elsie Tubb • Jan 2023

The teacher was fabulous and I must make it clear that this review in no way is based on her abilities. We were told that it didn’t matter what sewing Machine you have, however, children’s machines are quite different and we didn’t get anything out of the session as I had to read the instruction manual to keep up.

Also not sure what the point of the print off was as we didn’t tackle any sewing apart from a quick line at the end.

Olivia Brown • Jan 2023

I loved my hobby craft class it was amazing and fun and was just about easy enough for me to do on my own

This was a very detailed class. Lots to do and ask questions about. Due to the time it would take to finish this project the tutor was giving me very detailed information on how to set up the frame and to cover basic knots. This was very helpful as this was the first time working with weaving. I was unable to be shown how to finish and take work off the frame and this gave me some problems in completing. However I was informed that the tutor would foreward this information afterwards at a later date. I did complete the work in my own way, but still much to learn. This class would be good if there were two parts, regarding the start and finish for people new to this project. I wish to thank the tutor for her time in helping within the time period available, and passing on her skill in this area*****.

The resources provided in the kit were excellent value for money. I thoroughly enjoyed the flip cup method on the liquid art panel and thought the effects were incredible. I was really pleased with the finished design. I felt the second technique was a bit rushed in the time we had and i wasn't as pleased with the results. Maybe could have done with an extra half an hour on the time to get a better grasp of the second taught technique.

A very informative course which was also very enjoyable. We covered all the various aspects but ran out of time before we did the finishing off. Gisela provided a link to a recording so we could watch all we had done again and find out how to finish off our piece.

Chloe Watt • Dec 2022

Hannah was very friendly and great for a beginner like me who had no idea how to properly use it. She was also very patient which meant I didn't feel rushed. She covered a lot in the time we had. Overall it was definitely worth it especially for me starting out. :) thanks

Isla Bedford • Dec 2022

At first we found it a little fast paced but we just messaged and she repeated what we’d not caught up with. The follow up email is a real bonus too. It would’ve been better if you could just choose a workshop on one specific machine as a bit messy chopping between the two. Presenter was very approachable and addressed any questions we had. Very good value for money.

Was a very well paced workshop and the tutor was so lovely, friendly and talked through everything as she was doing it, the slight disappointment was she had lower case letter stamps and I had capital letter stamps which were not as good and were bigger so didn’t allow some of the details, the tutor also mentioned a follow up email saying to collect a couple of other bits for the workshop which I did not get, saying that the workshop and kit were very good value for money and most enjoyable giving me lots of ideas

Loved this workshop, Kathryn is an excellent tutor with lots of patience. She is fantastic at explaining the basics of crochet, showing us how to do the stitches and at the same time following and explaining the written pattern. No questions were an issue and she kept the group moving forward at the pace for each person on the workshop. I am a beginner and am delighted to have finished my first blanket using various colours and now able to follow crochet patterns on my own. I completed the blanket in 6 weeks with the traditional granny squares which is my preferred choice of stitching. Totally recommend this workshop to beginners, you will be hooked

I am delighted with my new skills and I loved the yarn and fleece supplied to make a beautiful wall hanging. Thank you.

Loretta Newbery • Dec 2022

REALLY enjoyed the class and Rachel was an excellent tutor, friendly personality, clear instructions and just the right pace. I haven't felt like doing a any crafting for the last 12months and this has given me my crafting mojo back. I am pleased with what I made on the course, but the very next day I repeated what I had done and 'refined' my process and experimented a bit more, will try painting some this afternoon.

Barbara Vose • Dec 2022

Irene was an excellent tutor and l think zoom workshops are ideal for embroidery because l could see the stitches very clearly. I appreciated everything about the workshop but was particularly grateful for the handy hints about potential mistakes and how to avoid them and how to finish off a stitch and the whole embroidery. I think the price was very reasonable there’s no transport costs etc. I would highly recommend this workshop and lrene, she was very patient and very very clear in her instructions always willing to go over anything. Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Very grateful too about classbento rescheduling my class when l had a dilly dream moment and missed my start time.

Michelle Hodgson • Dec 2022

4 ClassBento workshops attended • 4 reviews

The class was booked for 1.5hrs and you definitely didn’t need this for doing the baubles. An hour is pushing it even with experimenting on other items. Whilst I appreciated the very friendly and knowledgeable host suggesting we try other things as there was time, the fact we had had no prior warning about this meant the options of what I could find were very limited, so feel it was a missed opportunity. All the same, the kit is great quality and value, my only comment would be it would be nice to pick your own colours, I had to go to the store to buy an alternative as the pink would not go with my Christmas colour scheme.

Chi Li • Dec 2022

The tutor is nice and she is really great. I enjoyed the class very much, the only bad thing happened is the hot melt glue gun in the package not working properly and no glue coming out but melt in the middle, luckily I have my own spare one so that I could catch up with the class

Emma Barrett • Dec 2022

My teacher for this class was very patient. I'm completely new to using the Cricut maker and she talked me through its set up and use wonderfully. My teacher gave me some great top tips and took the time to help me make my first ever Cricut card. I was overjoyed with the results. Thanks to my fabulous teacher she made the class fun, informative and has inspired me to discover the creativity I can unleash with my cricut machine. This was really good value for the price of the class to get this one to one help.

Nicola Moss • Dec 2022

This is the first time I have done a hobbycraft workshop and thought is was great, I have also never done embroidery before and found the class really helpful for a beginner. It was easy to join the zoom workshop, the teacher was very good at explaining what we were doing and I could see everything really clear on camera. There are four little projects to do in the kit but there is plenty of material in the box to make more of each design if you wish. The workshop covers three stitches in order to get you started and complete one design then you can learn a few more stitches in the video that is emailed to you after the class. I would defiantly do another workshop.

Heather McQueen • Dec 2022

Louise was really friendly and explained everything very clearly. I was surprised by how good my painting looked after only one hour of painting. Really enjoyable.

I liked Rugilee and her openness ,but the constant rapid fire comments ,spoken so fast, were a little off putting. She did inspire to try this medium further.
Thank,you, Hobbycraft, for supplying an excellent box of equipment.

Sarah Drysdale • Dec 2022

I really enjoyed the class, my lettering looked quite good after just the hour lesson. I found it very fast paced though, it would have been easier to follow if it lasted slightly longer.

Penny Annandale • Dec 2022

Lovely lady. Said from the beginning that we needed to get on as alot to do and we would benefit from practicing. Quickest hour of my life. Demonstrated each stroke, and great for the time we had but the course could possibly do with being a little longer. No reflection on the lady teaching

Laura Hurd • Dec 2022

Really enjoyable and created a lovely if slightly drunk gnome! Can’t wait to see what future classes I can do. Piping workshops and flower modelling would be great.

Would possibly like the opportunity to amend the kit sent out as I have more sculpting tool kits than anyone really needs now. Or have opportunity to return or swap any unopened/unused tools in store.

Jean Shaw • Dec 2022

My online Silhouette training was fantastic and my tutor Chrissie very knowledgeable & friendly.
I had emailed in advance explaining the items I wish to cover. The session went so well, it allowed me to asked more questions on the Silhouette design software.
I will be booking another session in the new year.
I would recommend this online tutorial to other.
Thank you. :-)

It was helpful to know how to marble the whole of the big bauble and got some great tips on how to finish the baubles once they were dry. Overall it was great value and I was very happy with the results. The box was great to use as a drying area so I am glad I kept it for this purpose.

You can tell she had a passion for the subject. My second Hobbycraft workshop and I'm sure I'll be back for another soon. Always enjoyable, worth the cost and lots of fun

Lois Ratcliffe • Dec 2022

Great teacher, content and value for money. You get all the kit and tools delivered before the course and the teacher takes you through the skills at a good pace. From knowing nothing you come away with confidence and experience to carry on. I would highly recommend.

I am very pleased that I did the online candlemaking course. The materials arrived in good time by courier and mine were all in good condition. The format of the class was different to what I expected, but the tutor, Rachel, was very enthusiastic and helpful. I managed to get a couple of candles made during the time. and can't wait to light them in a week's time.

I look forward to signing up for other classes. In fact, the online format is great because my friend and I live far apart but did the same class.

The class was a good foundation and introduction to candlemaking and I got a load of information and tips in the time allotted. Also, it is good value as there is enough extra material for me to try some more candles.

I joined this without a specific project in mind but to try and understand as much as possible about what the machine can do (it’s not been long out of the box!) in readiness for when I do want to try something or a moment of inspiration so I would know what supplies I need and to have an idea of where to start. Hannah have lots of tips not solely about infusable ink which was helpful to me and showed us how to use the design space and heat press to make a beautiful coaster. I’d be brave enough to give it a go now! Thanks Hannah x

Hi Emma, I am leaving a review after yesterday's class:

Thank you so much for the brilliant class yesterday. With the different techniques shown, I feel I have learnt alot. I also wish to thank you for the many links regarding 'Acrylic Paint Pouring' that will continue to give me a insight to what can be achieved with practice. This was a very valuable experience with you today.

The class was very good value for money and you was very professional in your approach

I would fully recommend this course to anyone wishing tp develop a new skill. It was fun, on the go, and very creative*****.

Angela Robinson • Dec 2022

I had already taken this class earlier this year and still use the bag (it hasn’t fallen apart!) but I’d then not used my machine for ages and as still a beginner I thought I’d join for a refresher as there are always other things that can be learnt from Hannah whilst she is taking you through.

I’m looking forward to more sessions! My 9 year old likes to join in too as we were lucky enough to meet Hannah at a store opening when she taught her to make a scrunchie- Hannah takes it all in her stride and encourages her to learn too! Fab time had by all and a really helpful refresher for me!

What a wonderful afternoon spent with a friendly and extremely knowledgeable host. The kit was great and contained everything I needed to make my wreath. I was lucky enough to get a one to one experience as I was the only one on the time slot. I didn't feel rushed at all even though I'm a total novice and felt slow. Although I was nervous to start with, Paula made me feel comfortable and confident with the techniques. I am now hooked and planning next year's creations. I even got some fab tips for future projects. I would definitely recommend this workshop, certainly if under Paula V's expert guidance. Many Thanks. Kerry

The class was well planned - not too much for us to learn and practise in one hour, but enough of the basics were taught so that we could continue on our own with all the letters.

Instructor Rachel was very good. She went at a good pace; we could all keep up. Very ready to answer any questions we had. Her own brush lettering was lovely to look at, and that was an encouragement to me in that, if I keep practising, mine can hopefully also look that good!

Aimee Harman • Dec 2022

An extremely helpful way to connect with an expert and have things explained properly .
I’m new to this craft and very keen to get started with a project that led me to buying the cricut maker 3 machine .I didn’t want to keep paying for cut outs for the project so this does it all plus more so there’s a lot to learn .
Rachel is very knowledgeable with some good advice and tips to make this journey hassle free and rewarding .
She’s very clear , and a great listener to all my questions that were all answered in the time scale we had .
I shall be joining some group sessions too , it can only lead to confidence in trying out new skills that lay beneath !
Thank you ! I’m inspired !

Catherine West • Dec 2022

Overall an interesting session but I felt I could have found this out for free via YouTube videos. I counted only 2 things I learned that was new.
Nice pens though!

Kate Halls • Dec 2022

A really enjoyable class. Great that all the techniques were shown so there was no rush to complete the whole design. This means that you can take your time to build up the different areas of the flower and keep going back to it. There was also the opportunity to ask questions throughout. Looking forward to completing the picture.

Carla Youmans • Dec 2022

This was a really good class. The instructions from the teacher were very clear, as she was always happy to answer questions. I could not keep up with the bow making but as we were quite a large group and some hadn't been able to attend as their kits did not arrive in time, the session was recorded so I could go back and master the bow!

Maria Roberts • Dec 2022

I enjoyed the session and the tutor was great. She was very encouraging and explained all the stages of the process really well. I think it would have been helpful to have known in advance what other resources were needed. Possibly a mini rolling pin and plastic sheet to work on could have been included in the pack. Maybe a couple of baking paper sheets too. I felt the pack wasn't self-contained unlike the one for the other class I attended. Also, I did think it was quite challenging to get a good result with the stars and I wasn't entirely happy with how mine turned out. Maybe I need more practice! Thanks for the session though and it was an enjoyable way to spend a winter Sunday afternoon.

Estelle • Dec 2022

The materials provided were great and the teaching was really good.

Victoria Krancioch-Daniel • Dec 2022

Rebecca Edwards • Dec 2022

Quantity was lovely, however 8 in one hour was too many. We struggled to keep up with instructions and it definitely wasn't "craft along". If you're planning on doing this I'd suggest watching it and aim to do half the available baubles alongside and the other half afterwards.

Andrew York • Dec 2022

The bauble making was really good fun and well run. And the kits were also excellent.

Lovely teacher and class but very much spoilt by the wire that I was using. It sprang all over the place, tangled and snapped and caused me to be playing catch up all the time. The teacher understood the problem and helped all she could but the wire spoilt the class for me.

Beverley Callender • Dec 2022

Really enjoyed the acrylic sunset painting course. It started a bit later so a little rushed but pleasing first effort results. Techniques etc were well explained although needed to go a little slower at times. Had some paint left so did another picture!
Really good course.

I thoroughly enjoyed my workshop this afternoon, where I was decorating a Christmas Eve box. I haven't done any painting since I was at school and am a knitter and sewist, so this was a new craft for me. It was clearly explained and demonstrated and Louise has a great manner which meant I quickly had the confidence to try the different techniques and was soon really enjoying every minute. It went so quickly! I am definitely going to do more of this, it was great fun!

Had great fun in this online evening workshop. Gisela was a great tutor and gave clear, practical instructions. The kit I received was really good quality and included lots of extra felt, beads, and wire so I could have a go at making some more flowers after the class. Great time, lovely people, and christmassy vibes!

This was my second Hobbycraft workshop but my first online one as I had previously attended an instore watercolour one.

I really enjoyed the whole experience and my first ever attempt at acrylic painting. Our tutor Louise was really engaging, laid back and knowledgeable; she made the whole thing very enjoyable.

These workshops are great value for money, as you are provided with everything you need for the lesson, and it appears to be a good quality.

It has definitely inspired me to do some more acrylic painting and I look forward to trying another workshop soon!

Thank you, Avril

Rebecca Farr • Dec 2022

I spent 50 minutes of the lesson on the phone to the Doctor so didn't hear much of the lesson but I did try to watch.
The lady who ran it seemed very nice.
I didn't really learn anything tbh and was hoping she might show us some different techniques for the trees.

Anne Chapman • Dec 2022

Paula was really knowledgable and a friendly, engaging host. Most of her instructions were really helpful. The only thing that I found was unclear was the amount of material she prepped for the first side of the hoop. It looked like she had prepped just one bunch of each type of plant when in fact she was then using several bunches for each side. Also the 90 minutes is way too short to actually complete the wreath. But in the end came away with the skill to finish it and make others. And finished wreath looks lovely.

I loved the class. I have never painted in my adult life, but the teacher was clear and it was easy to follow. She showed us how acrylic can be forgiving if something not quite right and how to use the different brushes. The results were amazing. I actually created something that looked like it was supposed to in an hour and I have ideas for future to try as there is plenty of paper and paint left over. Thank you.

I bought tickets for this workshop as a birthday present for a friend. We both really enjoyed it and Gisela was a great host! She was really friendly and explained everything clearly. She also let us go at our own pace and it didn't feel rushed. It's quite a long project so as explained you don't finish it during the class, but everything is outlined so that you can finish it up afterwards. I'm looking forward to finishing mine and hanging it up. Thanks for a great class!

I thoroughly enjoyed the floral sketching workshop. I've never done any sketching before and Louise explained and demonstrated everything very clearly throughout the session. The pace was good not too fast nor too slow. I was very pleased with my first ever floral sketch and picked up lots of really useful tips and techniques and am now looking forward to trying out more sketching. The workshop kit, which arrived in good time, was very impressive. Overall, an excellent experience thank you very much, Louise!

Louise was helpful and worked at a rate that suited all of us. I didn’t receive my kit (postal strike I think) but Louise talked me through what I needed and fortunately I had most of it what I didn’t have she showed me an alternative. Very knowledgable tutor. It was a most enjoyable hour and a half and has inspired me to do more drawing. Thank you for another great workshop.

Michael Loughan • Dec 2022

Really enjoyed the workshop - Rugile was a fantastic facilitator!

Kerry Setchell • Dec 2022

The teacher was lovely, we produced a really nice rattan wreath to be proud of and put up for Christmas. The product was much better than I thought it would be. We were told exactly how to use the materials given and suggested others that weren't in the kit but could be purchased in store, which made everyone individual.

Eileen Abrams • Dec 2022

Irene was a patient tutor she gave clear instructions throughout demonstrating the 3 stitches needed for one of the embroideries. It was (I think) aimed at complete beginners, maybe I missed this when booking, I would have liked a slightly faster pace. She has sent a video link to complete the other pieces but I think it would have been helpful to have some instructions in the kit so we could have been ready to start stitching when the class started. It was a very pleasant time spent stitching. Thank you .

Great teacher. Kept checking we were ok and that we were understanding. Loved the lesson. Exciting getting the box in preparation. Did the crochet session with my 12 year old daughter who hasn't stopped crocheting since.
Would have been nice if everyone had put their cameras on so we could see how others were doing and have a little more interaction.

The course Tutor was so patient and kept checking all of those on the zoom class were ok. If they weren’t she would happily stop and go over the knots again.
Also, becusse my box didn’t arrive in time- the customer service team were fantastic at ensuring I was able to continue the class. There was no stress. So Brillaint all round!

Great workshop but only complaint was a few items I had issues with as the glue gun wouldn’t stand up properly, one broken large bauble and one large flat bauble I couldn’t even open as it had no seal around it. But that’s not the artisan fault. But Loved what I have learnt

Leyla Prince • Dec 2022

Irene was great She explained everything really well and was very patient and accommodating. Great way to spend Sunday afternoon.

Karen Ross • Dec 2022

I feel confident to make more in the future.

The boxes arrived well in time, plenty of background filling items could do with more of a variety of main items, not just Santa & a polar bear.
We are a craft club who decided to have these boxes for our Christmas treat, we have members who are not very tech savvy so we decided we didn't want the zoom class, but would have been nice to have an ideas sheet included.
Overall we enjoyed these fillable baubles & would recommend this to anyone.
We would have something else next year if anything was available.

Christie was informative and was able to structure her guidance in a way that made it interesting and easy to understand. I will definitely be booking more sessions.

Elaine Ngo • Dec 2022

This workshop was a. It disappointing. Whilst we did start late the facilitator should be able to pivot and keep things light-hearted. The materials also took too much time to prep. I think the instructor was too detailed oriented. There were some people who said, ‘This was difficult’ but then the instructor said this is beginners level. Not the best experience. Even if the wire is new, should have anticipated these challenges and provide a solution.

A lot to cover in an hour. There were only 2 of us in the class. If there had been more people asking questions it would have been much more difficult

Very easy to follow with Holly giving good explanation of each step. Just fight for beginners

Zoe Jackson • Nov 2022

The teacher for this class was excellent and I love the fact that it was online so accessible to everyone and well priced. The parcel arrived in good time and the zoom session started promptly.
The only reason this didn't get a 5 star rating was because contents of the box the teacher had was actually different to what myself and some others had. This made things a little more difficult and meant we did end up with a different wreath at the end. An hour and a half wasn't long enough to complete the wreath either, although I did leave knowing what to do to finish it.

The class to make a wreath was fantastic. I was nervous that the time would be too long but it flew by with a fantastic instructor. Rachel was really great at demonstrating and making sure we were all happy. I never felt rushed at all but it was not a slow process at all. Fantastic material given and even a glue gun. I can’t wait to do more of these and I am really happy with the final product

Freddie Brown • Nov 2022

I really enjoyed making the lemon, but I think the ability level of the workshop should have been clearer - I was getting ahead of the workshop and then we didn't have time to fully cover the decrease stitches at the end.

Imogen Loxton • Nov 2022

Imogen was the only child attending this group. The Artisan was very helpful, patient and a very calm, caring voice. Imogen had been struggling to learn crotchet previously. However, during this one call she picked it up and completed the task. The instructions provided by the Artisan were very clear and easy to follow. Even my 7 year old who has Autism and ADHD who I had also been trying to help teach understood and completed a row. We will definitely be booking on to more activities.

Sandy Ellen • Nov 2022

Fantastic workshop! Rugile was a great tutor, loved the pack with everything you need included.

Fritha Stuttard • Nov 2022

The teacher Chrissie was excellent.
The wire snips included weren't the best quality - quite difficult to use and dented, but got there in the end.
The picks included were different to advertised, so the teacher had different ones to us. I didn't mind though as they were similar enough and I actually ended up with spare foliage I can use on another wreath, but it did cause some moaning from other people on the workshop which the teacher seemed a bit stressed dealing with.
Overall I would recommend and I'd take another workshop

Haseenah Bibi • Nov 2022

Lady was lovely and was easy to ask questions and speak to.
Will be looking into booking more

Bethany Drake • Nov 2022

Caroline Campbell • Nov 2022

Hannah, our host, was welcoming and friendly. The zoom worked well. The materials were plentiful but not really to my taste. I added a few of my own beads and will buy some spray snow (as recommended by Hannah) to finish the wreath off.

Margaret Laud • Nov 2022

Really enjoyed today's workshop and Hannah was lovely and explained how to make up the wreath really well.
I thought that the green wreath frame was a little artificial looking though. I'm more than happy with the end result and may add a few extras at a later date. Thank you

My first time on Zoom, so not sure of what to do, but the workshop was very useful. My attempts were not very good, but practice makes perfect and the box and handout will prove very useful for reference. Value for money: thank you.

Great workshop, good kit and well presented and yes enough paint to do more than one coat on everything according to my other half as he was the one doing all the work. He thoroughly enjoyed himself doing it, said it was a great stress relief after a busy week at work. He said he would be more than happy to do another workshop in the future. Attached is a photo of his finished article which will be going to the grandchildren each year.

Rugilee is a delightful tutor. Enjoyable hour. I was pleased I had cut out the templates before the workshop as I struggled to draw around the templates, cut out and glue the poinsettia in the time. I am happy that I do know how to complete the project tomorrow.

Julie Menezes • Nov 2022

Wonderful, patient and very knowledgeable teacher. The pace was perfect. I highly recommend this Workshop.

Lovely host.

The kit was a h but it poor. The wreath was a very strange shape, the pine cones were broken and the cinnamon had sone strange mildew. Luckily I had both pine cones and cinnamon sticks already set out and I also added some star anise that I had found out of date in my spice cupboard.

Alexandra Elliott • Nov 2022

Having just come out of hospital after a total knee replacement operation, I was really looking forward to doing something both creative and festive to take my mind off my discomfort. The tutor was very instructive and walked us through the wreath making process step by step. I now feel much more confident in attempting to create further wreaths in the future with the tips provided. My wreath will be tweaked further, perhaps adding a further bow, but I am quite happy with how it looks

Michelle Stevenson • Nov 2022

I unfortunately was suffering with covid when my online course was. However I advised the artisan artist Paula and just said i would watch along if ok & make when well enough.

I actually found this more relaxing to then do later as I had been able to fully watch the session, digest and make my wreath. Hopefully managed it successfully!

Great work shop. I've always wanted to draw/paint, but haven't been able to. I followed the instructor and can't believe how well I did, even friends and family were surprised. There was one brush stroke i couldn't do but although mine was different it still looked quite good.
I couldn't find the link and emailed hobby craft not expecting to hear back as it was only an hour or so before the workshop was due to start. Someone responded with the link, so greatful, great customer service, thank you for a great workshop.

Loved Holly workshop she was excellent at explaining etc and really enjoyed it. However, the let down was the letter stamping set which I found very cheap and the letters not clear when stamping on the clay. Also I think as usual there needed to be extras you needed to have while doing the class I.e a tray or a chopping board to cut clay on also grease proof paper and a pot of water was needed and not mention on the agenda for the class. That’s the only complaint I have.

Hazel Carter • Nov 2022

9 ClassBento workshops attended • 5 reviews

The session was great! Loads of ideas and really clear instructions. Got lots of clay left to do more in my own time. Need to have water and grease proof paper for the session this wasn’t in the pre-instructions so had to run off at the beginning to collect things, meaning I missed some of the beginning session. Didn’t hinder me but would have been good to know before hand to be prepared.

Good course but would have been nice to have a small piece of sandpaper to tidy up the box, white paint is not enough to finish the box and consider splitting course into 2 sessions (or a video for first part) so you come to the main class with a painted box

My workshop box arrived in good time and I put it to one side to open on the day of the zoom meeting. But I had some problems and could not make the workshop. I have just opened the box now and it's the ratten wreath not the gold ring and eucalyptus. So I'm quiet disappointed. The ratten wreath box is very nice but not what I wanted

I thoroughly enjoyed the beginners online crocheting class and the trainer that facilitated the training was engaging ensuring that all the people booked on the class felt like they could speak to her and she ensured that we all felt involved.
I would recommend the class to anyone as it really helped with the basics and has increased my knowledge and made me want to continue with crocheting and book on more classes to further my craft.

Whilst crochet can be hard to approach as a beginner the instructor was so helpful and very patient making sure everyone was up to speed. Lovely session with pleasing results I wasn't able to achieve on my own. I also had a great experience when I was too late for the session the first time due to unforseen circumstances and wouldn't have had enough time to catch up a simple email to hobbycraft let me reschedule hassle free! v pleased with the experience

Beth Wood • Nov 2022

Emma was great! She really went through everything with us and showed us things she’d particularly found difficult with her lettering when she first started which was really helpful, I would definitely do a course again with Hobbycraft after that, it was nice and relaxed and informative!

I completed the Garland workshop with Gisela. It was set at the perfect pace, clear instructions throughout and with easy layout to follow the written handout also.
Gisela was quick to offer extra tips & ideas and checked during the workshop that I was on track, needed any extra help, additional time or wanted to go quicker etc
I am so pleased with my 2 different types of trees & star and feel very confident I can go away and make long garlands to my hearts content now.
Gisela is a fantastic teacher.

Thank you Gisela & HB I very much look forward to doing another workshop.

It was an amazing workshop. If you haven't taken part in a hobbycraft workshop yet then you definitely should. They are great value for money you get a full kit (with enough to make at least 2 pieces) , amazing friendly workshop leaders and a fun time crafting with like minded people.
Would also make a lovely gift for a craft friend or loved one.
Thank you Chrissie, I had so much fun.
Looking forward to trying more workshops.

Chloe was so friendly and easy to work with on creating a beautiful rose I was surprised how easy it became after a few petals had been made. Chloe constantly checked to see if I was keeping up and had any questions and was extremely encouraging with my progress. Chloe also added tips and advice along the way and given out her email address to ask any questions I may have once I try and use this craft on my own. I'm confident that I will improve in this art by practicing and using the tips I have been given

Becky Lowe • Nov 2022

Sarah Barker • Nov 2022

The tutor was warm, friendly and professional. There was no pressure to have the camera or mic on - you could still interact via text ‘chat’ if needed. The tutor was careful to make sure everyone was ok with the pace of the class and understood the content as we went along. She clearly wanted us to get as much as possible from the course and was keen to share the benefit of her skills and experience. I was very happy with the wreath I made and the materials provided. I learnt a lot in the course which I can now put into practice independently. The course feels like excellent value for money and I look forward to joining another one soon. Thank you.

I wanted to try acrylic painting as a sort of well-being project. I've never been very good at drawing and painting but this looked potentially relaxing. I was excited but apprehensive about the zoom class, even more so when I discovered I was the only one attending that session. But it really was a fantastic hour which passed quickly. Louise was a wonderful, patient teacher who very quickly put me at ease. I was both pleased and surprised at the end of the session to have a painting that I'm quite proud of. I will be looking out for similar workshops.

Really relaxing session and really good ideas suggested. However before the session there was a warning where I needed to prepare a mixture 2 hours prior to the session. However it was written at the bottom of the Email so you could easily miss it. Also, I received the wrong equipment for the session at first but the issue was sorted out really quickly and I managed to have the correct equipment in time for the session.

Jennifer Noble • Nov 2022

It was a lovely evening, nice to do something crafty with my mum and sister. The connection dipped in and out a couple of times but that can’t be helped. We learnt lots and were guided really well by Hannah. It finished half an hour early, not sure why.
This was a reorganised evening as unable to do the original date due to receiving the wrong wreaths. This was sorted out amazingly by the hobbycraft team and special mention to Paula Van Santen, she helped so much.

Chloe was great, really friendly and great at what she does. The reason for 3 stars is, unfortunately, the packs that came were the wrong ones meaning stuff had short date/out of date and had the wrong piping nozzles so was unable to participate in the workshop, just watch.

Thank you so much for an excellent and relaxing workshop, I believe doing this as my first one was better being done online at home as the time just flew by and it meant I could continue after the two hours. Thank you to Louise as I had never used zoom before I didn’t know how to thank you at the end personally.

I really enjoyed this class! The instructor gave detailed information of the process, discussed variations and ways to seal the baubles when they are dry. She encouraged people to have a go at marbling other things such as gift tags. It was fun and I am pleased with the way the baubles turned out.

This was a very enjoyable and relaxing class. I was lucky enough to be the only one booked on so the class went at my pace. Chloe was an excellent, patient and friendly teacher. We didn’t have much time for the baubles at the end but as I was completely new to brush lettering, I was happy to spend more time learning the skills of the lettering as I can create the baubles in my own time now.

I enjoyed making the Halloween wreath but I would definitely recommend getting some wire cutters as it was very hard to cut the stems of the bats in particular with scissors. Maybe they could be included in the pack to make things easier. I was pleased with my wreath when it was finished and the Artisan went at a good pace so it was easy to follow.

Rachel held an excellent embroidery workshop. She is clearly very talented and keen to help others learn. She happily catered to some with a bit of experience and some with none by being very patient and ensuring that everyone was on the right track with setting up and doing the different stitches.

Ailsa May • Nov 2022

This was an amazing course I am so glad that I did it. Kathryn was a super instructor, incredibly patient (this was my first time doing crochet) and knowledgeable. I was able to learn a wide variety of crochet techniques (each week is a different type of square) and now feel confident I could apply my new skills to other crochet projects. The value for money on this course is excellent, I had really in depth weekly tuition and enough yarn to make more than one blanket. Would highly recommend!

We didn't have the Berriedale included in our box and never got them delivered after the class and also I think you need to add a wire cutter in the kit. I can't imagine it will increase the cost by know than a few pounds.

I missed the beginning as i had trouble connecting to Zoom and it took quite a few attempts to get it up and working - I had to do that on the browser as i couldn't find the app I downloaded so I'm not sure what I missed I also have never used zoom so had no idea what I was doing in terms of being able to leave a chat msg or question, or how to add applause to the screen like one participant did

Hannah was very welcoming and covered a good amount to introduce our sewing machine to is.

Zia Rahman • Nov 2022

Chloe was great, and kept it simple by teaching an example first before you attempt to perform the task of Candle Making. She also covered a tone affect of the candle making and keeping it simple allowing to melt the soya wax in a Microwave instead of a Double Boiler. I did struggle with the candle making where the colour has come out darker and my Microwave was not great at giving the right temperature. I don't have a Review Photo and I did miss certain information Chloe was discussing on making the candles. However I was emailed a PDF file on teaching me on how to make the Candles. I did also miss the Discount Code as I did not write the info on a paper. She was Great!

Beverley Jones • Nov 2022

Chrissie has the patience of a saint. As a complete beginner it took me a while to get the hang of knitting but Chrissie was happy to go over the basics as many times as I needed. At the same time she was able to juggle mixed abilities in the group so that other weren't getting bored or held back. It's great that Hobbycraft send you all the tools you need for the workshop and a handy guide to help jog your memory afterwards.

I was the only person in the workshop so Gisela and I had time to chat about other projects and crafts we enjoy. I finished the plant holder within about 45 minutes after the class as all instruction and demonstration of how to finish had been given in the class. Overall, another great class from Hobbycraft!

3 ClassBento workshops attended

The session was excellent. Chloe was lovely and helped so much with any questions I had. Chloe went over things again so I didn't feel rushed.

It would be nice if they were a bit longer, maybe an hour and a half, so if there were any questions or something didn't go quite right, you didn't feel like you were missing anything.

I know this also may not be allowed, but it would be nice in the email you get sent afterwards, to have a list of the steps to read back over again.

I'm someone who likes to look back at notes to make sure I'm doing the steps correctly and because the class goes so quickly. You are always busy making your item; steps can get easily missed, or maybe have the zoom classes available to watch again for a certain period to watch, make and take notes yourself.

Natalie Caamano • Oct 2022

The kit itself was excellent and delivered in plenty of time as was the email about joining the online class.

Just to note the fact you have them in the evening is great for a working parent, so I could give the workshop my undivided attention.

Lovely hour spent making the wreath. Was at the right speed to be able to complete it in time. I have done several workshops in the past year but still learn something new. The quality of the kit was excellent but I may add some extra additions such as spiders etc.

Lynsey Craven • Oct 2022

Good sized box with items in it. I did ask if we can add glitter or pencil draft to ornaments. Maybe some other tips could be included with the box for that, other picture ideas ? Tips on some trickier letters on paper would be good. Did listen to online teacher but trying to concentrate on doing letters and listen, not easy. Glad I diid the class, would recommend

This workshop was brilliant. Louise was a wonderful teacher, very clear, friendly, went at our pace and enthusiastic. The kit arrived in good time and contained everything we needed. Unfortunately one of the small baubles was broken. The actual process was great fun and we're really pleased with the results. We have more of the marbling bath and inks left so we can marble other things! Definitely recommend.

Makeda Alleyne • Oct 2022

Great class. Holly was lovely and gave lots of good tips for lefties.
It would have been good if the class was a little longer as there was lots to get through and it felt a little rushed.

Great workshop which has inspired me to sign up for another. I don't always manage to fit time in to craft so this was an excellent way of making sure that I did just that! The pace was very good - not too rushed and the workshop leader Gisela was very encouraging and reassuring. I'm really happy with the results too - I love my Halloween Wreath!

Catherine Richmond • Oct 2022

Rugilee was a great tutor and explained everything really clearly. Really good introduction to how to form the letters and the technique for getting thin and thick strokes. There were only two of us on the course so you could easily ask any questions you wanted to. I now feel confident that with more practice I could use the lettering on my craft projects. She even gave us her contact details at the end so we could message her if we get stuck.

Yan Lai • Oct 2022

Lovely workshop. Made my own wreath for the first time 1 hour is probably a bit short for beginners. It took a lot longer for me to complete the whole wreath. A bit more introduction about how to use hot glue gun would be very helpful, as I found a few leaves and trigs dropping off after I finish. Maybe some techniques are required for good gluing.

Mrs Harris • Oct 2022

I really enjoyed the class and was surprised that I managed to copy what was asked. I am aware I need a lot of practice but am happy to do so. Unfortunately because I did not have a notebook and pen I didn’t write down the name of the website the tutor recommended. Could o get the name again please?

Susana Howe • Oct 2022

The instructor was very patient and good at explaining. However, the class was very slow and the end was a bit too rushed.

The pack was great that you get and the instructions so clear to follow. I will definitely be doing another one soon

Sarah Foster • Oct 2022

Very good course for a total beginner - Hannah was very patient and repeated herself multiple times if required! I’ve tried a beginner course before and found it very difficult - this was much better and I’m more interested in persisting.

Suzanne Hendry • Oct 2022

Only a personal opinion but didn’t like the online. I’m sure if you had a working knowledge of the subject it would be ok. Not helped by my kit getting sent to some UPS shop out of my area and not getting this to late the afternoon just before the class

Georgina Dunn • Oct 2022

Loved the freedom to work at own pace. The written instructions are good and enables you to have a go in advance. For me a hour was enough but the extra time enabled practise and the chat feature was great for queries. Was good to hear others struggling as it helped realise technique.

The course description is completely accurate - it is a brilliant starting point for people who are brand new to crochet. I've tried to follow you tube videos before, but this live class was so much better. The instructor clearly explained the fundamentals in an excellent way, and went really slowly to ensure the entire group could follow her. The kit provided also seemed really good quality. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a new hobby!

Alex Wilkie • Oct 2022

Excellent instructor - clear and friendly. I really enjoyed it! Thank you. I will be carrying on with it.

Natalie Hadcroft • Oct 2022

I really loved this class! Gisela was really lovely; easy to talk to, and very clear with all the explanations and demonstrations :) I'd really recommend this to anyone who wants to give it a go- I'd never done macrame at all before this class, but I still found it very easy to follow!

Pamela Rodgerson • Oct 2022

For me, it went better than I hoped as I haven’t been crocheting long -this is the second class I have booked (pumpkin making), I did the beginners class - again with Kathryn- only a few weeks ago. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thank very much!

Louise Brookes • Oct 2022

Hannah was a great teacher. Thank you for showing us the maintenance side and what all the functions do. I will definitely sign up again.

Charlotte Bullock • Oct 2022

It was very easy to order and receive my workshop in a box to my home.
The products in the box were well packaged and overall it looked very exciting, making me want to get stuck in.
I received at least 3 emails to remind me of the workshop which I found a little annoying if I’m honest. I booked the workshop one week ahead of when I ordered it so I thought the reminders were overkill. Unfortunately, I still wasn’t able to attend the online workshop as my child was unwell. But I felt that the instructions and everything I received were enough for me to try out the workshop in my own time.
I think it would be good to offer workshops in a box without the need to attend an in store or online class (especially for people who feel confident enough not to be shown by a teacher)

Great overall, thanks.

Louise is obviously a very talented artist & her teaching style was relaxed and friendly and choc a block with helpful tips and advice on how to use watercolour. The hour absolutely flew by.
I wish I had worked out how to turn on the video and audio at the start of the workshop because I wanted to engage with her but I couldn’t remember how to do it. Thank you Louise, thoroughly enjoyed the workshop & you’ve given me the inspiration to paint some more :)

I was lucky enough to be the only student booked on my date so recieved a 1to1 session. Rugile was fab! So friendly and informative. Explaining everything thoroughly, a nice pace to the class with the opportunity to ask questions when needed and a little time at the end to highlight any letterings I wasn't sure of. I'm a complete beginner so found the class great for hints & tips. The kit is also brilliant or getting started includes pens, gift tags, a notebook & plain papered book along with the alphabet sheets. Ive kept mine clean & using them under my paper for tracing. Practise & patience will make perfect thanks again.

I decided that online classes are not for me. I had got too far when I realised that I had too many stitches. Classes are better in person when the tutor can see what you are doing. I didn't stay until the end as I was getting frustrated with myself.
I was a bit disappointed as we were told that we wouldn't be able to complete the project before we had even started. Perhaps it's too complicated a class for someone is fairly new to crochet.

Great class for a complete beginner. Kathryn explained the process really well, was more than happy to recap and go over things again and gave different options for holding the thread. There was plenty of time to complete a row so you didn't feel rushed and she was great at touching base with everyone to make sure no one was stuck or feeling left behind. A great introduction to crocheting.

Sally Wickham • Oct 2022

This was a great beginners class with Chloe. Was informative but not too much information and also easy to follow steps. My candles turned out great and smell fantastic.
Would be good for a intermediate class maybe using moulds and different oils etc.
Would definitely recommend if you haven't made candles before.

Helen Morling • Oct 2022

The guidance was easy to understand, and I'd certainly recommend Louise and the Hobbycraft workshops again.

Amy-Louise Vincent • Oct 2022

I loved it. I work at our croyden branch and it was amazing to see how other artisans teach their workshops and what difference there could have been to zoom ones as I’ve only done in store. She was lovely very helpful and amazing tips. It was great to know I could email her if I had any issues what’s so ever or questions I had if I didn’t ask them during the workshop. I’ve only ever made 1 before this workshop and I feel I’ve improved dramatically with her help xx

Marion Catlin • Oct 2022

Overall good. Would have been a good idea to have a five minute walk through the machine from A to B and what it does as i dont yet have one but i was the only class member so we jumped about a bit. Hannah was very friendly and helpful and i will 'explore' further the idea to buy one myself

Clare Taggart • Oct 2022

Really enjoyed learning how to do Loom Weaving with Gisela. It was so much fun and the time flew by! Each step was broken down and easy to understand. I also now have the skills to practice and to complete my piece. It has also encouraged me to do more Loom Weaving in future. Thanks so much!

Mrs King • Oct 2022

At the start I felt quite nervous but the wonderful tutor immediately put me at ease. Every step was slow and well explained and even when I did go wrong she was kind enough to stop and help me whilst being very patient. I can’t wait to try out my new hobby. Well done Hobbycraft and thank you to the tutor A*

Aoife Aonghusa • Oct 2022

The workshop was very good value for money as we will all have a lovely advent calendar that we can use for many years to come.

Rachel was brilliant! Explained everything very well and slowly too. Course didn’t feel rushed and I learnt loads. So good, thank you.

Jane Hawnaur • Oct 2022

I was lucky to have 1 to 1 tuition with Rugile, who was great. The kit contained everything needed, and Rugile gave clear instructions and many useful tips. Of the colours I chose, the silver was too thick and didn't flow well. Although initially happy with the results on 2 canvas boards from the kit, within a few hours the long edges of both boards curled up so that all the paint flowed off the outer third of the boards on both sides and collected in the central gully. Not a good result! Despite this, I think the package of materials and online tuition was good value and very enjoyable.

Lois Fretwell • Oct 2022

Really enjoyed the class. Looking forward to more classes. I now know how to hem, sew a button hole and how to sew on a button. More confident in removing the feet and changing the needle.

Hannah Jay ran the workshop, and she was brilliant! Really engaging a full of tips which made my craft so much easier. However, I unfortunately lost signal part way through which made it difficult. I am grateful Hannah sent over the review videos as this will allow me to finish. It did feel a bit strange and forced completing it online compared to the face-to-face store workshops. I have done these before and this will be my preference going forward.

Joanna Hubbs • Oct 2022

The box sent through in good time before the class contained what was needed. Nice quality items presented well. I was the only participant in the class with Kathryn as the teacher. I have experienced one of Kathryn's workshops previously and this was another fantastic experience. Kathryn was encouraging and knowledgeable. We worked through the basics at a good pace which worked for me, and Kathryn took time to show me a couple of extra tips and techniques as there was room within the session.
The class is ideal for beginners and has given me the confidence to have a go at making something - just browsing patterns now to decide what that will be. Thank you!

Fantastic workshop, well paced and very informative. Paul was a very friendly and professional tutor who ensured that everyone was able to complete each section before moving on to the next.

Eileen Trenchard • Oct 2022

At the start of the course we went through all of the products in the kit and it was great that the pots could be washed and used again. Rugile had so much knowledge and i had lots of fun learning the two techniques and will definitely try more.

I felt that the pace was really good, I picked up on it so fast considering I have never done any needle work before. I’ve already purchased extra embroidery stuff so I can continue to learn. The artisan was also very good and stopped to answer any questions or go over any stitch types again

Lisa Whitton • Sep 2022

Kathryn was great - it was a tall order to get us through the whole pattern when I kept losing/gaining stitches! But what we managed to do was great and having the video sent afterwards makes me confident that I will be able to finish the lemon.

Joanna Hubbs • Sep 2022

An enjoyable session presented by Katheryne. Very much aimed at the beginner but not painfully slow if you have dabbled before. I am glad I did the session as it showed how the stitches should be correctly completed and also other useful pointers around turning at the end of a row and where to count the stitches from. Thanks - it was great.

Great tutors though who know their stuff.
Would definitely recommend, and have used a lot of the ideas learnt throughout the 6 weeks for personal projects at home

Our instructor (sorry I can’t remember her name) was very patient and gave clear and concise instructions. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting to learn to knit. This has given me the confidence to practice my knitting and hopefully start knitting my scarf soon.

The venue was perfect, enough space for us all.

We all felt it was great value for money and we'll be looking at other classes that are available as they are a good way of trying something new.

Irene was fantastic. She was very patient and answered all my questions. She has given me the confidence to now attempt an infusible ink project. She also has made me interested in trying the infusible ink pens and not just the sheets. Irene gave further hints and tips on how to protect the Cricut mats and what other projects would be a good one to start on when trying other materials/media on the machine. Absolutely fantastic course and would 10/10 recommend this course to anyone looking to try infusible ink but not 100% confident to do so.

I would 100% book another class, especially if I knew Irene was the artisan teaching it!

Melissa Johnson • Sep 2022

I found this class extremely useful! It gave a clear understanding into each Cricut machine and made it easy for me to narrow down my choice. Rachel was brilliant.

The videos are very easy to follow along with & the kit is very well stocked, it has plenty of items to make a lovely full looking wreath, the items provided ate of a good quality & colour, they look realistic rather than too fake. Very pleased with the final result!

The kit that came for the workshop was excellent. I have attended several workshops now and each time been very impressed with this and is great value for money. The workshop itself was fast paced and the hour goes super quick. Emma was very knowledgeable and passed on lots of helpful tips. Her time management was spot on as somehow she was able to find the time to demonstrate how to use all of the elements and include checking if there were any questions. I didn’t finish my wreath by the end of the class but felt confident to work on it after the class and was pleased with the outcome even if it wasn’t as good as Emma’s.

The macrame plant holder workshop was a lot of fun! Gisela led the workshop and was very patient and lovely as she went through the various steps and demonstrated how to do each of the knots. Gisela also took the time to show other projects she had completed to give inspiration for what else you can do with the extra yarn in the kit. Would highly recommend!

Chloe Sayers • Sep 2022

Excellent session and Kathryn was brilliant. She was really patient and clear, I would definitely recommend this workshop

Tamah Gribbon • Sep 2022

Irene was lovely, very informative and didn’t rush us. Went over her time to accommodate us and make sure we had everything we needed to finish our hoops. Total beginner and I didn’t know what to expect or how easy it would be to pick anything up especially as it was via Zoom online, and I’m not a technically minded person But I am thoroughly impressed and feel equipped to finish my first embroidery hoop. Thanks you so much Irene for your great teaching

Fiona Plavenieks • Sep 2022

This was brilliant, I’ve tried crochet before but haven’t figured it out - Kathryne was a great tutor and broke it all down carefully and clearly, yet we still also covered a lot with 1.5 hours. Thank you

Absolutely loved the workshop. Rachel provided lots of information & tips for getting started in lino printing. I thought the length of the workshop was just right. I'm looking forward to creating more prints, so much so that I bought some soft lino yesterday from Hobbycraft.

Really enjoyed the course. Louise was great at explaining how to do the lettering and it was really useful to watch someone. We went through several different letters and ended by joining some to make a word. Useful tips throughout. Definitely will be practising as the lettering looks so effective. Thanks Louise.

Pauline Molloy • Sep 2022

Emma was very helpful and I would definitely do more workshops to learn and improve my craft. Thank you :)

Joanna • Sep 2022

We had a lovely time!
The only thing we’d maybe suggest is that the template be made to match the style of the teacher’s letters as often she did different to what was on there. It’s great to see different styles but got a bit confusing - or have a couple styles on the templates! But we loved it! And the kit was fab - planning another soon!

Tess Brady • Sep 2022

I loved this workshop, I had little confidence about how well I would do but I was really pleased with my printing Emma was a brilliant teacher, her friendly and supportive approach made for a perfect workshop.

Hannah, our Artisan, is consistently helpful, friendly and patient. She really knows her stuff about sewing machines and she has been fantastic at explaining different techniques to my daughter. We’ve attended all the sewing machine workshops and are delighted when we see Hannah. She is a credit to you, Hobbycraft. Her attention to aftercare is exceptional. We think she is awesome. Can’t wait to see her on the next workshop

These workshops have been great at teaching my daughter how to use her sewing machine. Highly recommended

I thought the Artisan Holly was lovely and friendly. She came across very knowledgable and answered all my questions very patiently. My only point for improvement would be that there were some occasions when Holly had the screen on her camera on the desk and she would use her hands a lot when expressing herself which was a bit distracting lol. Other artisans will switch to their face camera when they’re talking/making a point about something and not actually constructing something which just makes it more easier to follow - hope that makes sense

Victoria Williams • Sep 2022

Really enjoyed the Workshop with Louise she showed me easier ways of doing the lettering would definitely recommend

Michelle Haydon • Sep 2022

Elizabeth Edser • Sep 2022

I am struggling to work out what I actually learnt. We did not have time to achieve anything. We were told practice make perfect, but practice what. I am afraid I this did not meet any expectations, I did not realise we would only paint fictitious flowers!
This is my second class, the first was brush lettering, and pretty much similar comments not enough time.
Holly was obviously talented, but was restricted but the content of the course. I have also attended 3 kids sessions, I find the content very superficial. I am interested to make the icing flowers, but fear I might not achieve the skill!

The tutor has qualifications gained from the Glasgow School of Art, therefore, knows her stuff. Gave lots of safety before the actual pouring and tips on how to use this and other makers' resin.
Learnt a lot, she was very approachable, skilled and knowledgable, including how to spotlight herself, so we never lost sight of what she was doing.
Very exciting that we were sent items in the kit that aren't even in-store yet.
Mega pleased with the results, and the advice on what to do with the pieces, I feel confident enough to use acrylic again.

Cat Finlayson • Aug 2022

Rachel was fab, but the reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the Pebeo black silicone tray and black pigment. I've moulds that are clear/ pale, so you can see your patterns/ colours. Unless you are only doing clear or solid black casts in this or like a surprise, I can't see how black moulds are useful when so many resin tints aren't opaque. (I will feed that back to Pebeo as well.) With this kit using black pigment to add in, I have no idea what my casts look like until I can demould them. I'd wanted to try marbeling and dragging/ dripping effects, but couldn't see the black against the black at all - white or a colour pigment would have been better? Good amount of resin/ gold leaf though and great beginner workshop, thankyou.

We were also given useful information for future candle making if we want to continue the hobby.

Can’t rate this course, and the lovely ladies who delivered it, highly enough. Joey, Chrissie and Irene were all very patient, explained everything well and are clearly very knowledgeable when it comes to using Design Space. I really enjoyed completing the projects and have gained a huge amount of knowledge which will help me make the most of my Cricut Maker. You don’t need to be getting married to do this course. It’s excellent for anyone wanting to build their confidence and start creating their own designs.

Show at the start of the workshop what the intended items are to be made so we can visualise what we’re making. Also provide a slideshow of a list of all the things needed for the upcoming session whilst we wait for the session to start (on the page which says Hobbycraft Workshop) so that we can get our equipment out beforehand.

The class was okay (if you know what you're doing), however I found it difficult due to being left handed. I was asked at the beginning if I was right or left handed and the artisan said she would demonstrate how to make left handed but this did not happen.
I have never done crochet before and as this was advertised for beginners I thought I would give it a go. This class left me feeling frustrated and left behind. At the end when the Artisan asked if anybody had questions, I asked if the left hand way could be demonstrated. I was told to go watch YouTube!
I have wasted my time and money! I do not recommend for left handed beginners!

I last crocheted as a schoolgirl nearly 40 years ago and wanted a refresher on the basics. The stiches were explained very clearly. I was pleased that even after so long I still have some 'muscle memory' and although it will take practice to get the tension even, it was great how easily it came back to me.

Lovely lady and very informative. Was surprised how much you can do with resin and all my questions were answered. Much appreciated.

Wendie Noble • Aug 2022

Fantastic beginners course, nice pace and lots of information. The kit was great and arrived a few days before the workshop. The tutor was knowledgeable and easy to understand. I would definitely do another workshop with hobby craft

This was a great workshop led by a very pleasant and knowledgeable teacher. I was impressed with the kit, which arrived in plenty of time. Every step was explained clearly and I learned enough to go further with lino printing. A very enjoyable class at every level.

Sandra Janssen • Aug 2022

I was the only one on the course which was nice as I got personal attention.

Janet Power • Aug 2022

A fantastic introduction to acrylic pouring. Thank you Joey, I really enjoyed the class. Janet

Liz Young • Aug 2022

Fantastic class. Lots of handy tips. Plenty of time to ask questions. Produced 2 pieces in class and two afterwards. My favourite was from the run off paint used as a background and the other paints dropped from cups! Love them all and so different. Thanks

Irene was very good. Her tuition proved to me that the Cricut Explore 3 isn't suitable for what I want to do. It's far too technical for me.

Gemma Liu • Aug 2022

Holly was very friendly and engaging. We went through the alphabet and practised a couple of words. The materials provided were good and more than enough to keep practising. I would perhaps like to see more design ideas and lettering styles rather than going through the entire alphabet, but the pace of the class was good otherwise.

Sabita Ramani • Aug 2022

I really enjoyed the class.
The tutor was amazing and was very patient if we were asking for doubts or asking to repeat the process.
The time wasn't sufficient to finish the whole product but I managed to finish it afterwards very easily and the tutor told us that she can help us out through email if we get stuck.

Shelley Parnell • Aug 2022

Great! Really fun and easy to follow, format worked really well, and the instructor was great!

Karen Jones • Aug 2022

The box arrived in good time and seemed well packaged, however some of the gold flakes had escaped from their packet and it took over an hour to remove them one by one with a pair of tweezers as they were stuck to everything else in the box.
The class was very good. The instructor was very friendly, confident and knowledgeable. She demonstrated and explained everything clearly and gave the opportunity to ask questions without feeling awkward. I would recommend this experience to anyone wishing to learn the basics of working with resin.

Emma Charlton • Aug 2022

Holly was so helpful with what I wanted to learn and I feel much happier now moving forward with my project.

Great (online) workshop, full of useful hints and tips for working with reisin.
I was just dabing to see if its something I'd like and definatly going to take it up to add on my list of craft hobbies.
So many things you can do and great idea for preserving something special. I'm going to try making a block with my holiday shells next

Paula Lancaster • Aug 2022

Louise was great at explaining what I had to do. She was very patient as I had a few technical difficulties. I would definitely do more in the future.

Jackie Latham • Aug 2022

Was good to have a tutorial and a pack with all the equipment you need prepared for you. It was a shame that the molds provided were black and the colour we were using was black, as it made it impossible to know or even begin to appreciate how much black resin we were adding to each pendant. It would be better to have a white coloured silicone mold. Also, it would have been nice to have some other things that could be added to the resin (or advice to have ready in advance if wanted) - eg, glitter/ little shells etc.

Sarah Neller • Aug 2022

Brilliant session! Rugile, our teacher, was fantastic! Full of joy and keen to impart all we needed to know about resin making. Was a fun evening activity and I'm know the proud owner of a set of stunning resin pendants to make gifts for friends.

Kathryn was a fantastic tutor and the class was really well presented. My mistakes were explained to me really well and helped me work out where I’d gone wrong. If you’re new to knitting this is definitely worth booking!

This is not for the complete beginner despite it being advertised as for beginners. I am pretty new, I only know some basics, and got lost very quickly. The teacher was really nice and waited for me but I felt out of my depth.

Naomi Clemence • Aug 2022

Very enjoyable class, the tutor was lovely, very clear at explaining the different stitches and I've come away feeling excited to finish my piece and having enough confidence to try out my own design too! Also very impressed with all you get with the kit, plenty equipment for lots more embroidery projects!

Ruth Peake • Aug 2022

Holly was prompt, welcoming, friendly and interactive. I produced a piece of artwork that I’m really pleased with. She’s made me look at nature more closely and see it’s potential in a picture. Great class Holly!

Emma Daniels • Aug 2022

Thought it was well explained and great materials sent in the post for us to use

Pamela Miller • Aug 2022

Irene showed us the Cricut joy and all it’s uses. I was a little nervous with this as i don’t have this machine (contemplating buying one) but all her steps were clear and easy to follow between the machine, the accessories, the online design software, and some of the crafts used to create with the machine. She also made sure at points we were following along ok and answered any questions we all had. Fab class and I can’t wait to buy my machine and get going with it!

Natalie Kaye • Aug 2022

Gabriella Palmieri • Aug 2022

The class was tricky for my 11 year old daughter, the teacher Kathryn was lovely though, very patient and took lots of time to try and help my daughter, I think the class was just too advanced for her. It may better to have this as an advanced course as beginners would struggle. My daughter didn't get to complete the lemon crochet and ended up taking it apart and was quite upset. This is not the teachers fault though, she was great. The teacher has kindly sent us the video of her completing a lemon for us to try again another time.

Lovely introduction to 7 types of embroidery stitch and some handy tips for starting and finishing a project. Rachel was a good tutor, with clear instructions and good visuals

Ailsa Martin • Aug 2022

Had a great time doing the paint pouring workshop with Louise. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about the technique, and fun! I would highly recommend doing this course and will be looking into other workshops in the future

Eleanor Watts • Aug 2022

Irene was really helpful! She explained everything clearly in a way that was easy to follow. She gave us great tips on how to create our own projects and gave us time to ask our own questions.

Had problems originally getting into class but Hobbycraft rectified this and the class was excellent very informative and the trainer was patient when I was trying to organise myself.
Tip for anyone doing the class make sure you have a drying area ready.

Katie Jacques • Aug 2022

I've tried beginners kits before and I've never been successful, so I thought I would try a Hobby Craft class. Kathryne is an amazing teacher, they taught at a speed that was comfortable and accommodating to the entire class, as well as taking the time and having the patience to answer a lot of questions we had. Kathryne is attentive as they checked in regularly to help anyone who needed any extra help or time.

I have a learning disability and a physical disability that affects my motor skills, so before starting the class I thought it would be a challenge for me to learn knitting (of all hobbies!). However, the way Kathryne taught, made it feel like knitting was easy to learn and do! Kathryne is friendly and approachable, which made me feel more confident and less shy in being able to ask for help, or to ask questions.

Alexandra Grady • Aug 2022

Highly recommend the class, it was interesting, technical but not complex and great fun! Also, my piece is GORGEOUS!

Verity Knight • Aug 2022

Kathryn was great
Got this workshop as crochet as I've tried to learn many times, but it's never just "clicked" Kathryn's clear demonstration made this "click" in my head and I was whizzing away!

Shaun Eason • Aug 2022

Brilliant session. Thank you very much Rugile for your excellent session. Step by step with time to ask questions at the end. Extremely enjoyable.

Mrs Williamson • Aug 2022

Just completed the workshop, and I very much enjoyed it. As a complete beginner, I learned a lot. Louise was very pleasant and gave a lot of helpful hints. The only thing that surprised me was that we were muted, and when I tried to unmute a message said the tutor had to do it. Didn't spoil things though, and I was pleased with my first attempt at a drawing.

Sharon Betts • Aug 2022

Great class. The host was very friendly and welcoming. She explained the process clearly as we went through the steps and was happy to answer questions as we went along, and at the end. We were given lots of helpful information. We even had a little history of Lino printing. The class was well paced and I had time to complete several prints, though I will go back and add a few more details to my Lino.
The box arrived quickly after booking had closed, so it arrived in plenty of time for the workshop.
I would have preferred an in person class, for greater personal interaction, but as this was not available in my area a zoom class was the only option.
Overall I would recommend this class.

Janet Lowe • Aug 2022

Really enjoyed my class with Chrissie today. I came in to the class with not much knowledge and pretty much a beginner with vinyl and using my cricut maker 3 but after leaving the class I feel more confident that I can now go and start a project and make different things. Thank you so much Chrissie. Great class, look forward to joining more and learning more.

I have had my machine for about 6 months and although I have 'played' around with it I didn't have confidence to attempt anything that needed folds etc.

Rachel has given me the confidence to try and hopefully succeed and make better use of my machine

Jane Broomfield • Aug 2022

I can’t believe what I accomplished in the time. Holly’s lesson was well thought out for any beginner and thoroughly enjoyable too. I will definitely be back for more. The quality of the materials supplied, the course content and the presenter, Holly, we’re all top class.

I wasn't going to make it to my usual knitting bee during the summer holidays so I booked this course following my session with Kathryn learning how to crochet. It is a brilliant class to build on the basic stitches and you make something really pretty.
I still haven't finished mine as I am about 5 squares away from finishing. The squares are looking so pretty right now. Louise was an amazing artisan!

Chrissie, as always, was great at demonstrating the newest Cricut accessory. The press looks like it will simplify the process of iron-on and infusible ink and take the effort out of maintaining the required pressure.

Having never been good at art thought I would give this a go. Booked for myself and two nieces and we were the only ones on the session. The packs arrived 3 days beforehand with everything needed. The zoom link worked without any problem. Our artisan was very clear and informative and we spent a lovely hour being creative. We produced very different but beautiful paintings.

The workshop was a very good intro to the cricut app and the design space app. I think I will be able to use the cricut app OK now but i will have to see how much I can remember of the more complex design centre. At least I know how and where to start. Time to buy some of the materials shown to get started!

Hermione Crawford • Aug 2022

I signed up for my 2 daughters aged 10 and 12. They only sent one box, however when I contacted Hobbycraft they rectified that immediately and the second box arrived in time for the class - great communication.
The lady doing the course was sweet, knowledgable and helpful but it was definitely over the head of my kids. I would not neccessarily recommend for younger children unless they have a helper at home who can follow the class - I made the mistake of doing chores while they were doing the class so by the time the older one got herself in a mess, I didn't know where she had gone wrong or how to fix it, and we didn't want to derail the class by asking her to go back and do it all again!.

For adults I'd say this is a very good class - probably 5 stars.

Samantha Lane • Aug 2022

Very interesting, double crochet is easy for me to learn, I found the treble crochet a bit more difficult to get the hang off, if there is any other online classes I am interested in I will definitely give it a go, Louise was good and very helpful

I enjoyed the Lino printing workshop. The class was online and intimate (there were two other students). The Artisan Rachel was very passionate and knowledgeable and put her enthusiasm across. Online - we were able to share as much or as little as we wanted, the students said hello on video, then switched to chat. Being a very hot day (its got hotter since) the ink was a bit troublesome and stuck to the paper, but advice was provided, and I got some good prints off. I will need more practice, but this was an excellent introduction having never done lino printing before.
Thanks Rachel Toye!

I found the session difficult though, threading needles and getting knots in the thread so got behind.
I would of liked to of traced the template beforehand as I found it stressful getting it done properly during the session. ( I am old so am slower)
I will try and remember the stitches as I would like to continue with it.

I was the only participant which was most unexpected but also delightful as I could ask anything I wanted, when I wanted! I found the class excellent - and not just because I was the only one, but the teacher was excellent which made all the difference.

Great workshop, just one point. The snipers couldn’t cut butter, most people own scissors but not a marker. Would be better to come with a marker and not the poor quality snipers.

I'd never attempted lino printing before. This came with a great little beginner kit and plenty of time to finish the class. The instructor was brilliant, very knowledgeable and a really fun class.

Caroline Hampton • Jul 2022

Kathryn was a fantastic teacher and I learnt so much. My only criticisms is with the Hobbycraft comms people when part of my workshop kit was missing. The lady the day before the course sent the missing item out by next day Royal Mail, but it never turned up. When I chased up I was met with a rude response by someone called Luke. He didn’t want to help that was very clear from his response. It’s put me off wanting to do anymore classes to he honest.

Janet Tuite • Jun 2022

I enjoyed the class and thought the pack you sent for the class was excellent.
The hour went very quickly and Rugile gave us very clear and precise instructions on how to use the brush to achieve different results.
However I came away feeling disappointed in that I felt that my efforts at brush lettering were very pooor in comparison to the tutors. I then realised that I had been taught the basics of brush lettering extremely well and that the only way I would ever improve was practice, practice, practice. I might be as neat and confident as I possibly could be.

Marta Losada • Jun 2022

I really enjoyed the workshop! Irene was fantastic and very friendly. She explained everything very clearly and helped me to master the French nots which I had never managed to do properly before. I am siper happy with the final result and I will definitely be doing more embroidery from now on!

It’s been really great! Holly has been amazing. I had an opportunity to be on one-on-one as I was the only one during the course… But she’s been lovely, accommodating and I love how she gives recommendations on how you can improve your writing or when you are struggling with a stroke.

Very clear instructions and demonstrations. A bit slow at the beginning, but that was due to one participant needing a lot of support.

Holly was friendly and demonstrated clearly how to write out each letter. She had a few useful tips. I hadn’t done any brush lettering before but managed to produce reasonable lettering after the hour. This skill will take some practice to perfect. The session was enjoyable and the kit provided was good quality. Overall this was good value for money.

It was a very relaxing class! My internet connection was not great but I still enjoyed it. Teacher worked at a good pace. Highly recommend and the kit is fantastic

Jessica Newby • Jun 2022

The class itself was excellent, Rachel was very knowledgeable, she had an lovely manner and gave very clear instructions.
The kit however, was late and some of the contents were poorly made - the snips wouldn't work for me, (regardless of the tips Rachel gave me to get them to work) and part of the loom frame was rusty. Apart from that there was a decent amount of materials for several projects.
I didn't like the colour palette, and it would have been nice to have some options to choose from when booking e.g. brights, pastels etc. It would also have been good to be able to choose an all natural fibres kit, or a vegan kit etc.
Overall really great tuition, let down by the kit.

Michelle Harris • Jun 2022

I Had a fab time during the online workshop with Rachel, she was so friendly and very clear in her instruction of what to do, the tips and tricks she mentioned will be very useful going forward, I'm really enjoying continuing to work on my punch needle project and will definitely be doing more punch needling once it's finished, another hobby to add to my list thank you xxx

Kathryn was brilliant as usual and I loved the idea of the class and learnt lots from the session and enjoyed technics given but a few feedback things might need be considered in future workshops

1) workshop needs to be for intermediate not beginners due to basic learning of crochet stitches needed

2) The pattern included is not clearly written and some if it doesn’t make sense so an easier version would be better to understand

3) The kit should include knitting/crochet markers as these are essential and not to use use a safety pin instead of a proper marker as it splits the wool and not ideal for project. Also it would help to put this in with the kit to help those that don’t have markers

Learnt a lot and will continue to work on my piece from the workshop and have a go at the other types in the links I've been sent after the workshop. Really excited about the process of my new found love of painting. Would recommend to anyone wanting to learn anything new!

Mrs Steggles • Jun 2022

Very enjoyable class and easy to follow instructions. As a complete beginner having never done any watercolour painting before I found it a little bit quick and was therefore slightly behind. However it is a good starting point and I can continue after the class. I would definitely do another class as learnt a lot in the hour. Excellent value for money.

The local tutor Irene was super. She explained the materials included and then demonstrated each of the stitches before I tried to do them myself. It gave me much more confidence to have someone who I could chat to there and then as i learnt how to do the embroidery techniques. I would definitely recommend this class to a beginner.

Sarah Turner • Jun 2022

Teacher was amazing (would love to do another of her courses) - kit/instructions need improvement. Pattern instructions are not clear for a beginner and it suggests a safety pin as a marker (which made a mess and meant my lemon had red flecks) - add a stitch marker to the kit, how much extra would it cost as the original instructions said nothing else needed.

Highly recommend this.

It ended up being a 1:1 craft session with Gisela - I really enjoyed it! She had a great way of explaining the macrame knots and some really useful hints and tips on how to work out where you are when you (inevitably!) lose count of how many knots you have actually done. We got a good way through creating the plant pot holder, Gisela showed me the last knot I would need to do and I now just need to repeat the steps I have learnt to complete the pot holder.

Gisela also provided some useful tips about the Hobbycraft YouTube channel that I can use to remind myself of the techniques if I have a mental block and also of the website to look for other macrame projects I can tackle with the remaining yarn.

That was 90 minutes well spent - crafting, chatting and relaxing. Thank you Gisela!

Chelsea Lowe • Jun 2022

I've been interested in trying out watercolour painting for some time, so I figured doing a beginner's workshop would be a great place to start. And it was! Emma was incredibly friendly and talented, her steps easy to follow and easily broken down for a complete novice like me. The items in the workshop box were really good quality and I can see me getting a lot of use out of them. I can't wait to continue with my watercolour journey and use what Emma has taught me to create some (hopefully!) interesting pieces.

Michelle Edwards • Jun 2022

Brilliant online workshop, Gisella was very friendly and explained everything really clearly, making sure that I was happy after each completed step. It was lovely to learn some new techniques, cant wait to raid my craft stash to incorporate different textures into my newly learned skill. Thank you

Amanda Knights • Jun 2022

Thank you Chrissie for being such a great tutor! I learnt a lot from this session.

Chrissie answered all the questions we had and was so friendly and helpful. Her explanations of all the functions in design space were really useful.

As there were only two of us, and we both were using the design space for PC, she showed us that instead of the one for the ipad, which was much more useful.

I will look at other workshops.

Neither my daughter or I have done any water colour before, so were thoughtful before starting. Lovely calm Emma put us at ease, gave clear instructions and before we knew it the class had come to an end and we had a chance to show our master pieces. My bee must be a new species :) and my red plant a delicious monster :)
The kit arrived well packed and full of what we needed. Even now the class is over, we have materials to work on with.
Glad we cold mute as we laughed amongst the 2 of us on what we were attempting, without disturbing others. Good questions to a minimum as this class time just shoots by.
Recommended for all talents and ages.

I made the wall hanging, deciding to do it a bit different from the design, but that's the fun about crafts. I'm already doing a second one.

Hosted by the lovely Paige who was very patient and happy to demonstrate all the techniques as often as we needed her to. Pleasantly surprised with the results, definitely unique but still identifiable as flowers. The second of tub of buttercream is great for practice after the workshop. Just make sure you keep your icing cool for the best results.

I was about ten minutes late to the class but Chrissie patiently took me through what I had missed. The class was fun and enjoyable, and Chrissie was a very good teacher, she taught at a very decent pace and was happy to stop to show us whatever we were not clear about.

Michelle Mitchell • May 2022

I really enjoyed this workshop. Chrissie was very knowledgeable and very easy to get along with. I was lucky enough to be the only participant and Chrissie paced the class just right. She found out about my background in knitting and as I wasn’t a complete beginner she was able to help me with a couple of things that were holding me back from completing successful projects whilst still working on the cactus (which are very cute). The workshops are such good value and the kits so beautifully presented that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

What a wonderful course! Thank you so much to Kathryn (and Louise in the last session) for such patience and support throughout the course. As I suffer from many issues following an ABI it was so uplifting to have Kathryn to explain, and many times to re-explain, what I had to do both in the class time and beyond. After week one I had convinced myself that I would not be able to complete the crochet blanket, however, this support has allowed me to feel successful ( despite my many errors!) at crocheting and I have almost completed the blanket.
I am now a crochet addict and have already ordered items for Hobbycraft for my next project! Thank you so much Kathryn for your help and understanding!

Great class. Everything was explained very clearly. Chloe was very friendly and helpful. Very happy with how our cakes turned out.

The hour really flew by, but the tutor was great. Confident, reassuring and gave loads of tips and encouragement- every minute was used. A great intro, now it's over to me to keep practising. There is plenty of kit to keep you going for a while and the brush pens are good quality which I'm sure will also last a while. Thank you.

It was incredible value for money with a lovely box, and it was really nice to receive crochet mail. The lady who ran the course called Louise was very lovely, kind and patient. It was accessible for all skill levels. The yarn and crochet hook are lovely quality and very pretty colours. I’m excited to continue crocheting in my bunting for the Jubilee and in other colour ranges. I will hopefully attend some more workshops. It has helped motivate me to pick back up crochet. Thank you so much

I did my workshop with Irene. She was delightful, and made the class great fun. I knew nothing about punch needle before today. Now I’m inspired to try lots of ideas that I’ve during this class. Irene worked at a good speed to follow and kept checking how I was doing. She answered all of my questions & she told me lots of ways that I could expand on what I had learned today.
I would recommend this workshop, I loved doing it. Thanks Irene.

Elizabeth Bennett • May 2022

Really easy to follow. Rachel was very informative and I picked up a few extra sewing tips from her as well. You get two bundles of fat quarters in the pack, plus tape and pins, so it works out good value for money.

This was a brilliant class and the hour went by so fast I still can't believe I actually completed a painting in that time. The instructions/hints/tips were so helpful and everyone in the group was friendly.
It was a truly lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon and it has sparked a new crafty passion

Jean Brooks • May 2022

Had a great time. Had never done a zoom class and a beginner to drawing so was really nervous but Paige our tutor helped a lot to reassure me. She was a brilliant teacher and took time to answer any questions we had. The group of ladies also attending were very friendly. Paige even gave us extra time after the class should have finished. I was quite pleased with my effort and hope to attend more classes in the future to improve my drawing. Thank you for running these classes on zoom as I am shielding because of covid. It meant a lot to me. Highly recommend the workshops too anyone considering taking one. Thank you

Laura Evans • May 2022

This was my first workshop at hobbycraft and I really enjoyed. Louise was amazing if we had any questions she would help and she would show us a different way to do it. I would definitely do another course with hobbycraft either online or in person.

Karen Rees • May 2022

Class and tutor however extremely disappointed that my crochet box was not received before the class

Sonia Prosser • May 2022

I ordered the weaving loom and was very happy with what I received.
Unfortunately I missed the tutorial due to my laptop not working but with instructions that came with the loom I was able to get totally absorbed and lost track of time with a very enjoyable new found hobby.
I'm looking forward to many more happy hours with my loom.

Sinead Dowman • May 2022

Really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot. Just need to practice a lot now. Good amount of materials in the pack which is great

Elspeth Twist • May 2022

Excellent & patient teacher. The hour and a half absolutely flew by. I now need to practice what I learnt. The only negative was the delivery of the kit, which was badly dealt with.

Chloe Cotter • May 2022

Had a workshop with Rachel who was very friendly and had loads of ideas and inspiration for beginner weavers. The kit was great, with plenty of yarn and also some wool roving in complimentary colours, which is more than enough to complete a few variations of the pattern. I do like the convenience of the online classes, the demonstrations were very clear and brightly lit. I am looking forward to hanging this on my wall soon!

Brilliant class, the tutor was amazing, had loads of tips which made life easier. She was so welcoming, patient, informative and encouraging. The kit was a good kit, although the needles were plastic and broke very easily, the hook I would have preferred an ergonomic version and the pattern could have done with clear pictures for each square.

Joanna Hubbs • May 2022

Lovely session, carried out at a pace suitable for a beginner. Resources arrived in good time, prettily wrapped. Enjoyable and informative.

Hannah Osborne • May 2022

Lovely friendly teacher, well thought out kit that arrived beautifully packaged with clear printed instructions. Initially it was cancelled at the last minute but very quickly rescheduled to a time that suited me. We ran out of time to complete the project during the zoom session but I have since finished it using the printed instructions and we had practiced all relevant knots at the beginning. I am very happy with the result

Sally Reeves • May 2022

The course was very informative, Rachel explained everything well with useful hints, I would book again on similar courses! The only issue I had was the length of time given, after going through the kit etc, there didn't seem a lot of time for the actual painting and finishing our work! An hour and a half would have made the course more complete.

I had a fabulous time taking part in the pouring art workshop. The tutor, Rugile was great, patient, informative and chatty, explaining everything for me and giving plenty of opportunities for questions. The kit I received was much bigger than I expected, with absolutely everything I needed. I really enjoyed the workshop, and can't wait to have another go. I would encourage anyone thinking about doing a workshop to definitely do one.
My one tiny criticism was the amount of packaging in the box, there was so much of it, it was recyclable though.

Crochet is something that I had tried before but struggled to completely understand all of the steps, I now feel confident in the techniques taught to start practicing more and hopefully start on a project.

Rachel Quinn • May 2022

Great class, Chloe the instructor was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable, patient and explained everything really clearly. The course itself was great, there were lots of tips and tricks which gave us the confidence to make the roses or other flowers again! Look forward to booking on more cake decorating classes, just a suggestion but a similar course showing us how to make a simpler flower with painting techniques would be brilliant too and would welcome other cake decorating classes such as piping or cake covering.

I couldn’t get my volume to work but still managed to follow Louise and produced a good first water colour picture, will definitely persevere with more classes and improve

She took things at a steady pace, but fitted so much into the time. I now feel confident that I have the skills, so it’s just a matter of practice, practice, practice, until I achieve beautiful brush lettering. I would recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to improve their handwriting and learn the useful and beautiful art of brush lettering.

However, our class went very quickly and I still feel I need more lessons of course you can’t learn all in one day but in that lesson I can honestly say the ‘Joy’ is no longer for me so will invest in a larger machine without a doubt Thanks Joey will book again soon when I’ve got my new machine

This is my first workshop and I enjoyed it so much :)

I've never painted anything in my life except doors and walls! I've attached a pic of my efforts today. I struggle with perspective, hence my lack of drawing/painting!

My little bee looks like he's playing aeroplanes! (and those flowers would be destroyed if he landed on them!) but I still love him :)

A well stocked kit ready for the workshop with good quality items that can be used again and again.

I've learned so much from this workshop. I wish more people would sign up as that would make it even better :) Thank you.

I have just finished my class with Rugilee who was friendly and an excellent tutor who made the class fun. I am really pleased that I learned watercolour techniques and delighted with my painting. I really enjoyed the class.

Trudy Duncan • May 2022

Really enjoyable, I had so many questions but Rachel tried her hardest to answer them all, I feel I’ve now got a better basic knowledge,

Lesley Leeuwen • May 2022

I signed on for the class as I had just bought the maker 3 and didn't know where to begin. I found the class very helpful, Chrissie was friendly and pleasant and answered all the questions I had. I would definitely sign up for a 1:1 in future if I need further help on something more specific to my needs and requirements.

Hannah Williams • May 2022

Paula was very informative and knew exactly what she was doing! I thoroughly enjoyed this session. Thankyou so much!

This class was great. Rachel was very helpful explaining how to do the different styles of stitches. She took her time and made sure I understood what I was doing before moving on to the next stitch.
I would recommend this class for anyone thinking starting embroidery.

Odette Hooper • May 2022

I found it very helpful and informative and at a pace I was happy with; along with taking time to ask us how we were finding it and if we had any particular questions.
Lovely lady and very presentable training.
Only thing I missed was the discount code at the end.

Very useful - a great overview of the cricut for total beginners. The artisan was very knowledgable and answered all our questions

Joan Dunnett • May 2022

I enjoyed the workshop. The presentation was excellent. We were introduced to six different stitches, all of which were surprisingly easy. I found it a bit difficult to watch the screen and work at the same time, but I am sure that with following the video I should be able to get some further practice. Good lighting is required to trace the pattern on to the cotton.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Beginners Guide to Weaving, with the equipment supplied, it was real value for money.
The tuition was excellent, with a manner that didn't seem to rush anywhere along the teaching. I kept up and caught up after processes that I did wrong. Would definitely recommend it with the same Artisan that we had today. So sorry, I can't remember her name, but Thank you so much. X

Linda King • May 2022

What a fabulous way to spend time on a Sunday afternoon. This is the best of the online workshops I have participated in. Although there is not enough time to finish the project, which everyone should know is the norm, there is sufficient time for complete instruction and demonstration. I enjoyed the weaving and tassels. The links to videos are useful for the follow up I will be doing this week. Very professional , friendly and very helpful tutor

The tutor Rachel was really friendly and very knowledgeable about embroidery. The course covers everything you need to give a good foundation in embroidery. There are a couple of stitches that I found a bit tricky but Rachel followed up the course with a summary email and offer of further support if needed. Really good value for money and I’m excited to finish my embroidery.

Carol Wright • May 2022

Tutor was easy to understand, although we didn’t get very far before the time run out, I would have liked a bit more time to complete more of the project. We were sent a link to tutorials for the rest of the work, but the tutor on these links completed the work differently, we were taught to wind our wool around the metal rod at the end of each side, but the tutorials on YouTube didn’t use these rods and I was unable to take the rods out when I finished the project.

Sue Flatman • May 2022

Interesting workshop, Rachel was very friendly, helpful and informative. We ran out of time to complete the project, but were given advice and guidance about how to finish it later. I am planning to try some more printing with the other piece of lino in the kit.

Claire Charlesworth • May 2022

What a wonderful activity to do on a Sunday afternoon. Irene was a wonderful teacher, explained everything and revisited the stitch when I needed more help. Irene was so enthusiastic and gave lots of encouragement. Thank you so much.

Alice Baird • Apr 2022

I had a really enjoyable brush lettering workshop with Rugile. She was fantastic in explaining the different pen techniques, was very clear in her direction and made me feel encouraged and confident in having a go with the lettering myself. There was also plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The workshop teaches you individual letters as well as your options for joining words. On the whole it a nice experience and a fun way to learn a new skill which I will definitely be utilising in my crafts going forward. I was the only attendee in my online class but I didn't mind this, as it was great to have a one-on-one lesson with a skilled artisan.

Rugile was a lovely tutor and explained everything really well. The hour went fast but I managed to produce a reasonable picture for only my second attempt at watercolour, the only minus was I was the only one online so didn't have thoughts and questions from other students saying that I thoroughly enjoyed doing this course and will be booking more.

The actual course was brilliant, Rachel our tutor was engaging, articulate and professional and the time went very quickly.
I managed to produce some very professional-looking iced cupcakes per the pictures advertised and family were very impressed.
What let this down however was delivery of my box, or rather non-delivery. I was involved in something like 20 emails trying to chase down the delivery and my course had to be rescheduled 3 times, so not happy about this as I literally spent hours trying to resolve the issue.

Molly Haran • Apr 2022

Excellent class! I learned so much. I’ve tried learning before but the YouTube videos are sometimes hard to follow. Kathryn went slow but was good to follow and was explaining things really well. I really enjoyed it. I have signed up for another one but that’s just because I think I need a bit more practise Well worth the money though. The resources and equipment provided were excellent. I hope to sign up to more hobbycraft workshops! Thank you so much.

Louise Johnson • Apr 2022

Kathryn was super helpful and went at a really great speed so I could crochet alongside her. I was surprised by how much I'd picked up when we went back over the basics to prepare for learning the second stitch type!
Might have been nice for the workshop to have been a teeny bit longer to have a little longer on each stitch but didn't take away from a good introduction session overall.

When I first started the project I was disheartened that it looked rather rubbish, but as we progressed through the different stages it started taking shape. For a very first attempt I'm super pleased with how it turned out, so the workshop certainly hit the spot.

It was the first time I had done any punch needle crafting and I absolutely loved it! It is very forgiving and a finished area can be achieved quite quickly. Irene was friendly and helpful and was able to answer all my questions. She also showed me some other products when I asked such as different types of wool that can be used and different needles. The time passed very quickly but then it always does when you are having fun! Thank you Irene x

I hope she does more workshops in the future

Emma Little • Apr 2022

It was well paced, the camera angle was directly above the instructors hands, and crochet equipment, and zoomed well in for us to easily understand the tutorial. Well paced. And 4 customers on the zoom, so the size of the group was perfect. And yes - I did manage to crochet!

Dawn Hay • Apr 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed this class which, although relaxing, we learned a lot of stitches. I think this course could do with being longer than the 1.5 hours as, although we slightly overran, we still only completed around half the required embroidery to complete the project. Fortunately, course notes were sent after the event to help with completion. More materials than are required are supplied prior to the course so I still have plenty to practise with.

Irene our course tutor was very knowledgeable with lots of hint and tip. I will definitely continue embroidering in the future.

Thanks to a very patient Christie. Finally I got it. Great 1:1 session.
Now I feel I can do it.
Can’t wait to book my next one.

Melissa • Apr 2022

Very enjoyable workshop! The artisan was knowledgable and whilst demonstrating the basic techniques, talked through more experimental ideas to try out in the future. The workshop was well paced to be able to watch the trickier aspects and then follow along at home. We completed two very different styles of fluid art work within the hour.

Becky Wilding • Apr 2022

Really enjoyable.
As a beginner, I feel I learned some solid basics and have the knowledge (and urge) to continue.

The introduction to acrylic paint pouring with Hannah was a really good introduction and a lot of fun to watch and to do! I had done a pouring workshop in the past but this was the first time for me using pre-mixed off the shelf products and I was pleasantly surprised with how well they worked. I thought the kit was amazing for an Introductory kit. I would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone interested in learning about the pouring technique!

Alison Waterfield • Apr 2022

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

This was a great introduction to brush lettering for beginners. Hannah was a really good teacher, giving lots of helpful tips and tricks. I really liked the choice of brush pen colours, rather than just black which is what I wold have expected. It is definitely a case of practice makes perfect but I had such a good time doing the workshop and found I’m not half bad! :)

Eve Crosbie • Apr 2022

It was wonderful! Fantastic for beginners and those who have not picked up a needle for a while. Rachel was a wonderful, patient teacher. Would recommend and book again!

Julie Mottram • Apr 2022

I thought it would be fun to do something different with my daughters. Kathryn was an amazing teacher! Very patient, went at our pace and was happy to answer questions. She followed up the workshop with an email as with all the tutorial videos we would need.
We were really lucky that there were only three of us on the workshop.

Zoe Atkins • Apr 2022

We loved the workshop and the kit was great. We loved learning the different techniques, with great support and guidance from Hannah.
We would definitely recommend and will be looking at doing another
Thank you again
Sam and Zoe

Steph Bleything • Apr 2022

I thought Chrisse was amazing. I thought the flowers were maybe a bit naff as in building in groups of three there weren't enough flowers in the same colour groups to complete this but as a beginner course it was amazing. Hobbycraft should have warned us in advance we needed either wire cutters or sharp scissors. Thank you Chrisse where did the hour go to it went so quickly thank you ❤️

Really enjoyed the workshop, nice to learn a new skill. Rabin was lovely explained very well what to do, and it was nice to be able to chat all the way through. Would very much like to have more like this one. As with all the workshop I have done time goes by so quick and just never seem to have finished in time. May be Hobbycraft need to look at making the hour long workshop an hour and half, and hour and half two hows and so on. Will give people who are new to workshops that little bit extra time to finish and ask questions.

Freya Claes • Apr 2022

I booked a session and got a call a few hours later saying there was a mistake on the website and the advertised slot wasn't running, could I pick a different time. A day before the workshop I still hadn't received the equipment and when I contacted Hobbycraft I was told I had to go collect it because DHL hadn't been able to deliver (no email/sms/note through the door). The session itself was okay, I was the only one on it and the instructor was very efficient, running through the different letters etc, she had clearly done it lots of times before and knew the script and lettering/content very well, but it wasn't a particularly interactive session; I could have watched a YouTube video and got as much out of it. It would probably have been worth it if I'd received the equipment on time and been given the timeslot I originally booked, because the equipment was good and it being a 'workshop' meant I was invested and spent the hour following along, which I probably wouldn't have done watching YouTube, but I personally wouldn't book another HobbyCraft online workshop because it wasn't as hassle-free as I'd have liked.

Sandra Lock • Apr 2022

An excellent course from week one through to week six. Our tutor, Kathryn, was warm friendly and encouraging throughout the course. She taught us how to create the different granny squares and showed us the required techniques to complete the blanket. Kathryn also pointed out possible problems along the way and how to deal with them. She inspired confidence you cannot get by simply following videos and was happy to answer any question no matter how basic. All in all I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning crochet. You will not finish your blanket in six weeks but you will be capable and confident to continue yourself and then move on to other projects.

Had a really enjoyable brush lettering workshop today with hannah. You think it's going to be easy but it's a bit more challenging than you expect - however, the possibilities of what you can do next certainly whets the imagination. I'll have to get some practice in but can't wait to experiment more!

Heather Hagen • Apr 2022

I enjoyed the session a lot. It was great to be taught by a left handed tutor who understood the issues of writing in the wrong direction. We were taught how to adapt the brush lettering to make it look like it is written in one flowing movement which was great. Really enjoyed and going to book another course.

Emma was an amazing tutor. It was so therapeutic watching her do her brush lettering. I started off the session finding it quite tricky to apply the right pressure and moved my hand in the right way. By the end of the hour I was so much more comfortable and you could see a real progression in where I began and what I could do at the end of the workshop. Brilliant, I'd highly recommend. Thank you Emma.

The box of equipment that arrived before the workshop was full of everything needed and all excellent quality.
I was really pleased by the end that I had managed to make 1/2 of my first piece of bunting and have since managed to finish it.
I’m looking forward to trying another workshop soon.

We completed the bag and I’ve had lots of top tips for a next project and I feel I’ll be able to progress from the start made in this. Can’t wait to book onto the next workshop!

She explained about all the different wax’s and methods along with dyes and fragrances. I love the fact that you can do classes on zoom, for introverts like me it’s win win!

The class over run and we never got to make all the bits. I feel that it would be better to provide ready coloured modelling paste and the colouring took nearly the first hour
Also Chloe was great she had templates for the size of sections of paste and this would be good if you can reproduce it and send it out with the kit as was hard to imagine it via the camera

Louise chatted and gave tips and ideas all through the class and it was very enjoyable, easy to follow, and relaxed. It was good to learn different techniques for shading and how to use different tools and pencils from the kit. It was lovely to see the other class participants and I was very pleased to have produced a reasonable drawing at the end. I hope that Louise does another drawing workshop.

Louise was great. She moved at a pace that was easy to keep up with and I am not a very good painter but with her guidance produced a decent picture. I would recommend the course as a great way to spend a fun hour.

Louise was amazing, after my rubbish attempt at landscapes i was dubious about this one but my fears disappeared as sokn as i got into it & mixing colours.

Enjoyed the course. Could have done with more volume.
Very clear instructions and alternatives.
One problem I only had two round brushes in the kit. The no. 4 was missing.
Will do another one.

After the mild panic of not having the zoom link to join the class, one arrived literally at 6pm. The class was fantastic, greatbadvice and clear direction on how to make a coaster with infusible pens and decorate a cosmetic bag with infusible ink paper. Will definitely book other online classes.

Being online and using an iPad meant that following, listening and doing was difficult, kept missing bits.
But the enthusiasm was still there.

The kit was excellent

Jennifer Whitaker • Apr 2022

Brilliant intro, only thing would have been great if it had been a bit longer session

Maria Anderson • Apr 2022

Really enjoyed the course. But wish it wasn't online.
Would prefer the workshop to be in the shop like they used to be.

Caitlin Kelly • Apr 2022

Really good workshop. I'd never tried loom weaving before but Gisela was so helpful and explained each step clearly. The kit contains a nice variety of materials too. I didn't follow the suggested pattern but still pleased with the result for a first attempt, will keep practising to try and improve. Would definitley recommend :)

Meryl Thomas • Apr 2022

Great. Patient tutor who explained everything thoroughly. Great materials too. Loved the session. Wish it were longer

Nett Furley • Apr 2022

didnt meet my requirements as I probably need a one to one face to face for someone to work through my machine with me. Its 42 years old and had few of the functions others had and difficult to manipulate machine and zoom camera at the same time

Jackie Mullard • Apr 2022

Having only got my new sewing machine out of the box and looked a it., I have now threaded it up, filled the bobbin and sewn some stitches.

Very happy with my lesson!

Thank you

Was brilliant- I have learnt the skill that I need to be able to do brush lettering. Paige was a great teacher who was very patient and moved at my pace, we start off really simple and then progressed to joining up letters! I would highly recommend this course!

Beth Macnab • Apr 2022

What a lovely way to spend an evening.
I adore sunflowers, so to make a wreath devoted to them was great. I love the result. I got a bit carried away with the glue gun which made it even more enjoyable!
I've just got to find a spot now to hang it safely away from my cat; who thinks biting flowers is the best fun she can possibly have! I was bought this workshop as my birthday present from my daughter and think it made a unique and special gift. Many thanks. Beth.

Hannah was accommodating, listened well and used her knowledge and phone to find answers to my dilemmas.
She did not have the same machine as me, nor a thorough understanding of my machines capabilities. Between me reading from my Manuel and her phone we found some answers.
I think for me the workshop did not give me what I expected. But I came away with a Janome Customer Service link. Which I have made an enquiry with.
Despite this I did learn a few things about the set up of my machine, and I could have been more specific on what I needed regarding the specific project

Cathy Seddon • Apr 2022

This was a fantastic class, and the teacher was excellent! I learnt a lot about sketching, including what to use the different pencils for and the rubber and blender. Would 100% recommend! Fantastic value for money as well.

This was an excellent class. Paula was great at explaining the techniques and how to use the tools we were sent. I didn’t believe I would end up with a decent sketch in 90 minutes but was thrilled with what I achieved. Can’t wait to practise what I’ve been taught. Thank you!

Good but too much time spent on mixing of colours and stem techniques. More time needed to be spent on the flowers.
Overall good class.

Samantha Clough • Apr 2022

Very informative host Holly, lots of tips and clear instructions given. Thank you again. Will definitely do another workshop

Jill Opie • Apr 2022

This was a brilliant workshop. Joey was so helpful and went through each stitch with clear instructions. The time flew by and I was very pleased with the end result. You may find it useful to have a a needle threader and also iron the fabric beforehand.

Thanks Paula for an informal but informative way to enjoy making this decoration. It was well planned, clear and managed so that everyone was able to keep up , questions were answered and some light heartedness was also possible. The products were good and have several things left over which can be used for another smaller decoration or additional things purchased [ highly possible here anyway! ] to try something similar or totally different depending on what I want to do another day. This workshop was so much better than the previous wreath workshop as the items provided were good and the instructions clearly showed the difference too . Would imagine from teenagers upwards this would be a good start to another skill as long as there is maturity to use the extremely hot gun and either very sharp scissors or wire cutters depending what you have available to use. Now have a lot of calorie free small Easer eggs as haven’t as yet added any to my wreath - and might possibly not do so …. ********they are extremely similar to the chocolate varieties and so be careful if you hang one of these wreaths who is around- a choking hazard for young children…. ********** they would be extremely easy to pull off of the wreath and so this needs consideration before you hang it somewhere in your home. Thanks again Paula and the other people who enjoyed the workshop too. Will think about the next workshop to book over the next few days. [ picture of a small piece of the wreath which is not quite finished yet!]

Lis Connor • Apr 2022

Wow! I’ve learnt a new craft! Rugile was a very good teacher of brush lettering. She gave clear instructions and was very encouraging about my attempts. We covered a surprising amount in an hour and she gave me the building blocks to develop my skills over time with practice. So kind to offer follow-up support too, as I may well have further queries once I start on projects. Thank you Regile and Hobbycraft!

Sarah Middleton • Apr 2022

My lino printing class ended up being one to one with Rugile.
Rugile was very friendly and explained all aspects of lino printing enabling me to achieve making a successful floral print by the end of the session. It was very relaxing and a hobby I hope to continue independently having attended this class.
Thank you Hobbycraft and to Rugile who was an amazing teacher I would definitely recommend this class to a craft-lover.

Lauren Gillespie • Apr 2022

This class was brilliant! The paints, brushes and pad that were sent out were lovely and Emma took the time to explain all about watercolour and how to create effects (great for a newbie, like me!). We also had plenty of time to practise what we had learnt.

Ayisha Ajikobi • Apr 2022

I knew absolutely nothing before the class with Rachel. She was so helpful and informative and I've managed to do three cake toppers since my lesson. I would thoroughly recommend and I'll book again for the advanced lessons!

Thanks again Rachel.

I booked the online Easter Wreath making as a second choice, I had hoped to be in store but it worked out really well for us. The boxes arrived in excellent condition and in plenty of time. The box had plenty of goods in there. As another reviewer said wire cutters may have been a good idea. Our artisan was excellent. All explained clearly. I didn’t finish my wreath during the class but was able to carry on and finish later. We are all looking forward to another class.

Emma Broughton • Apr 2022

Ended up as a one to one class due to no other participants. Really don't know why there weren't more people as this class was great, teacher was really informative, took her time to explain everything and was just lovely really friendly and we had a great chat while we worked through the project steps.

Didn't quite finish the project but did later that day, made another the next day and can't wait to make more.

I am a novice at floral art and this is ideal for beginners. The Easter wreath workshop was great fun and I am really pleased with the wreath I have made.
I have done a number of online Hobbycraft workshops and can thoroughly recommend them. It feels like a lovely outing
without leaving home! Always so enjoyable to learn a new craft skill with friendly tuition and I’m always delighted at what I’ve managed to create

Barbara Grand-Scrutton • Apr 2022

Our lovely patient artisan Gisela gave clear instructions and demonstrated setting up the loom and constructing the weaving with different materials. The time flew by! She has told us where to go for further online support, which we will need because neither of us participants got very far with our wall hanging. Having said that, I had a happy crafting afternoon and am inspired to find the support needed to learn more and continue. Thank you Gisela.

This is the first Hobbycraft course I have attended and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The zoom class was small making it comfortable to have the camera and mic on. I felt that the instructor was knowledgeable, patient and talented. I feel I have a good understanding to begin and with the pens and paper included the tools to practice. Would definitely recommend Hobbycraft courses and hope to try others in the future

Ellie Parkes • Mar 2022

The course was great and the tutor was friendly and knowledgable.
The course would have been more pleasurable if it was slightly longer, or we were given instructions on what to prep beforehand (ie remove sunflowers and leaves) as I felt rushed and hurried, without much time to ponder the aesthetics of the wreath.
The tutor was supportive and helpful, but there was just too much to achieve within the hour.

Simon Bullmore • Mar 2022

The class was excellent, each step and technique fully explained, with time to develop the skill. I’ve never painted before and this class has inspired me to go further. Thank you so much.

I thought the course was a very good introduction to brush lettering although there was quite a lot to get through in an hour. Rugile was great and gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions. It would’ve been nice to have had a little more time on the techniques for joining letters and I think an extra 15 minutes on the session length would make all the difference.

I really enjoyed this workshop. Paula is lovely and very knowledgeable. She took things at my pace and explained things really clearly. As I was the only one doing the workshop we had plenty of time to chat and for me to ask questions. The contents of the box that gets delivered in advance was more than enough to complete the flower crown, so I have some left to use for other projects. A good value for money workshop and a worthwhile way to have spent my Sunday morning. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn how to make flower crowns or wreaths.

Amanda Aldridge • Mar 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed this class.
Quickly put at ease ( I can be quite nervous trying something new)
Everything clearly explained and we were encouraged to ask if we had any questions.
Our teacher went at our pace.
I would definitely recommend.

Excellent workshop with friendly, helpful advice. Really pleased with the guidance andove my finished product.
As always, there wasn't enough time in the workshop to finish.
Three of us did this workshop together and we all felt it was a shame the picture didn't reflect the colours of flowers sent. The pack includes pink flowers which were mentioned in the pack list but not reflected in the sample photo.
I followed my own layout with the kit and skills provided and add some additional flourishes with the raffia.

Catherine Steward • Mar 2022

Brilliant. Already looking to book another xx thank you for a fab hour well spent

Linda Gunn • Mar 2022

The materials are all there, and the guidance is good but for me I need more time it's too rushed. I want to see a before and after and to copy. And for the class not to be do rushed as I want to take my time. I end up missing something

Janet While • Mar 2022

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

The only way this class could have been better was to have more time - although we learned a good deal in the hour & a half we had. Giselan also stayed on line a bit longer to allow us to get to a good place to finish. It was a very good experience. Thank you!

Jane Balir • Mar 2022

Totally novice at crochet.
The class itself was fine, we did have one lady that couldnt grasp it at all and held us back a bit, but that's just how it goes. I was fine when watching our teacher but since that finished unable to carry on. She did say there was a link for a You Tube class but I cannot find it. I would say that personally I needed a longer class, for me it was a waste of time. I would look towards an afternoon class in store next time.

The session was great. As with all Hobbycraft workshops the box of craft materials sent was high quality and the tuition was given in a really clear and friendly way that made the workshop great fun and ensured the end results were successful.

Louise Goyder • Mar 2022

Really fun way to learn, and good to be able to ask questions as you go. Teacher was good.
Would have loved it to be a bit longer, but I've definitely learnt enough to get me started, and could write joined up words by the end of the session (see photo)
Thank you!

Mrs Notley • Mar 2022

Although I have many years of knitting experience I still learnt something knew and enjoyed the interaction with the host of the tutorial. Many thanks.

Laura Ougham • Mar 2022

Paula was a great instructor. She was knowledgable and gave us some helpful techniques. She made the painting experience enjoyable and her passion came across. I would highly recommend!

Isla • Mar 2022

My daughter had an amazing time. The lady was super friendly, which made my daughter feel really comfortable. An hour after the lesson we’re still going with the paints- she loves it so much.
Thanks Hobbycraft… we’ll definitely be booking these again!

Hannah Spani • Mar 2022

She was absolutely lovely and the supplies were quality however it was certainly not built for beginners. It was a very fast paced session and we didn't get to complete the paintings during it either. I am a little disappointed with this. The leader also kept saying that the floral one is easier which was very demoralising

Caroline Shard • Mar 2022

Sheila Seaton • Mar 2022

A very clear nicely paced presentation of beginners class to brush lettering. Relaxing & fun class.

Lorrain Coates • Mar 2022

Irene was fantastic, she was patient and took time to find out extra information about my sewing machine.
She also offered additional information about quilting that I didn't know about which I found helpful.
The reason I didn't give it full marks was because I would have benefited more from a face to face session as opposed to an online one.

Sonia Finch • Mar 2022

A good introduction to a new skill, great value for money too. The instructions were quite clear about being logged on ten minutes before to allow the class to start on time, but this didn't happen and then there were further delays attempting to sort out technical problems. Although I didn't think an hour would be long enough, it was just right - any longer and I think concentration would have wavered, especially at the end of a working day.

C Hebbes-Maddison • Mar 2022

My first experience of zoom made easy by Hannah Jay.
I found the session very helpful and ended with helpful suggestions to achieve my goal.
On a personal experience I think I prefer a class with contact as I struggle with explanations and find being shown easier.
It was great fun and really enjoyed it.

Lynn Jefferson • Mar 2022

Really good workshop, didn’t know we needed wire cutters. Instructions clear, concise, and timely.

Lesley Cornish • Mar 2022

The workshop was really good.

The only problem was there was no mention of needing wire cutters. I brought the session to do while on holiday so haven’t been able to complete all the steps and will need to finish it off when I get home.

Suzie Brown • Mar 2022

Very knowledgeable and extra information given out. I would have thought it was easy to make a wreath but there is a lot to think about and Paul had thought it all out prior to the session.
She was lovely and helpful.

Jackie McGillicuddy • Mar 2022

Paula was great. She clearly has a good eye for florestry and is a patient instructor.
We needed wire cutters which didn't come with the pre-course instructions but otherwise the kit was superb.

Beverley Fletcher • Mar 2022

Really enjoying class and totally absorbing when you’re creating your canvasses. Everything explained clearly. I’m lucky I have somewhere to dry my artwork as it takes 2 days, so might be worth knowing if you’re tight on space. Will definitely try this again on my own.

Julie Jones • Mar 2022

Brilliant course, learnt a great deal and now feeling more confident to have a go.

I thoroughly recommend this course and I will be trying different ones in the future.

Paula is excellent and very knowledgeable but I think the class should be longer than an hour so beginners can take in everything. Loved the class though.

I found it really challenging
but Kathryn, the really friendly artisan, was happy to go over each step as many times as needed to get started. Obviously there was no time to learn casting off, let alone finishing a cactus, but Kathryn gave a brief demo and signposted where we could get videos to help us.

Great class for a total beginner. Teacher was very friendly and knowledgable. Would highly recommend.

Jane Duddy • Mar 2022

I loved the beginners session with Irene. She explained the difference between the Wel d/ and attach function very clearly. I found her tips very useful and I look forward to trying out her designs. Iren e encouraged questions throughout the workshop and I am more confident to try using my Cricut Joy. Thank you to Irene for her time.

Rhona Nanda • Mar 2022

A bit more difficult to learn as a beginner when you are not in the same room as the tutor to view and understand what is being taught
Having said that Hannah was very good and patient with me as I struggled with a new sewing machine only used a couple of times prior to workshop but I did suceed in end to make a buttonhole of sortsnow just need to practice it

Olga Ayre • Mar 2022

Really enjoyed doing this class and Holly was an excellent tutor. Looking forward to doing more crafts online.

Heather Nugent • Mar 2022

I really enjoyed this course. It involves 7 types of stitches and the Hobbycraft Artisan who taught my session (Irene) did fantastic job explaining how to do each one. The box itself came with a ton of supplies so you could easily stitch the motif 2-3 times (all you would need to buy is more hoops). I would recommend this to anyone who's just got into embroidery who want to learn a few new stitches or who wants some new tips and tricks.

Kath Consterdine • Mar 2022

Ok had never done an on line workshop but realised a face to face workshop would work better for me .

The member of staff was welcoming and friendly. Only 1 other person in this session. Unfortunately for myself physically I couldn't do anything and left having explained I have physical limitations meaning fine movements are impossible for me. Thanks but not surprising for me a disappointing experiencein no way does this reflect on the staff member. Thanks for the welcome and understanding as I said cheerio after about 25 minutes. No way defeatist but not realistic for my personal circumstances to stay there longer.

Helen Barney • Mar 2022

The session moved very quickly, so rather than try to complete the wreath during the hour I tried each of the techniques and then took time to finish after the session had ended.

I really enjoyed the Pyrography online workshop with Chrissie! My kit arrived in plenty of time, so I had everything I needed and was ready for the workshop. Chrissie was really friendly, calm and clear throughout the class and had lots of helpful tips for using the tool that I wouldn't have known otherwise. I'm going to be using the tool for other projects so it was very helpful to learn some basics first. Really enjoyable, thank you Chrissie :)

It was good there were several of us and it made for a good atmosphere. Chrissie was very good and lively and clear with her instructions. She checked the chat box regularly and kept encouraging us. I have done a little pyrography before but struggled with the writing. This was a much better tool and was really easy to use. Again there were more things than we needed in the box which is great as there is lots to practice with and experiment. It was great to be shown the ideas section of Hobbycraft and I had a good look through after the workshop It was a little difficult to find the one which showed me how to do pyrography (the one which has the tools and the "dream" sign) so I had to search separately for that one. But the other ideas were great! Will be using it a lot in future.
Finished off the bunny this morning. Going to give it to my great-nephew and great-niece! Thanks again.

Jacqueline Davies • Mar 2022

I really enjoyed the course! The tutor, Rugile, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The course materials were nice quality, with plenty of paper to practice with. Even though this was online, plenty of opportunity to ask questions and I was happy with the format. If you have an interest in this I would definitely recommend!

Kate Effendi • Mar 2022

Whilst the girl that taught the class was absolutely lovely couldn’t of asked for more from her.it was all very rushed. My first time painting since I’ve been an adult so a complete beginner. This class is not for beginners. It’s to quick. We only just got through half the painting as well. I couldn’t watch her properly whilst trying to catch up painting it myself. I was told I’d be left with a master piece I’d be proud of, but all i got was a dent in my confidence and my purse. Really sorry to say. Would NOT recommend for beginners.

There was enough time for us to follow what she was doing but she also made sure there was time to ask questions as well. I didn't finish the wreath but ended the session feeling that I had enough confidence and knowledge to complete it later.

It was a great workshop. It was my first, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Chrisse was great, and checked on us as we went along. The hour wasn’t long enough to finish the wreath, but Chrisse made sure we had all the skills to finish it afterwards! Certainly looking to do another one!

This was very good. Could have done with being 2 or even 3 hours to give time to change the tips and learn different markings. It has made me want to learn and practice more, which I guess is the purpose of the workshops.

Simon Ingram • Mar 2022

Had a great time at the pyrography workshop. Chrissie took us quickly and simply through setting up the tools and safety. I have never tried this before and quickly learned that literally copying what was happening on screen was the easiest way to get used to the pyrography pen and build confidence.
I will be able to use it alongside my glass and wax painting hobbies, and my Wife is wondering if she didn't make a mistake buying me a slot on on this workshop as she will never see me!

A good friendly session giving some basic starting tips for doing Pyrography. I would have give the session itself 5 stars. However it’s the second time there has been something missing from the session kit. This time it was the required tracing paper. After contacting customer services twice and being promised I’d receive it - it never arrived and I had to compromise to get through the session . . .

Chrissie explained things perfectly and gave us plenty of time to practice. She encouraged us all to actively participate and so it was a lovely social experience as well as learning a new skill. The kit was great - just the tacing paper missing but I was lucky enough to have some. Definitely worth checking everything and giving yourself time to get ready so that you can get straight on with the course - an hour passes very quickly! Thank you Chrissie and Hobbycraft.

Tutor Chrissy was very friendly and approachable. The kit supplied was very good value. However, the paper “template” page which we were encouraged to trace & copy, had childishly poor and irregular script (as seen in their demo photo). That A4 sheet could have offered a selection of fonts/script for us to choose from. The advert for this class says, “ this is a great opportunity to master the wood burning tool”. It wasn’t. The tool came with several different tips/heads & I would have liked a brief explanation of what each one can do. If Chrissy had started by showing a pre-prepared demo board showing the effects that each head could produce, we could then have chosen which to try. We were just told which head to use - but not why. I wasn’t alone in finding the results disappointing. In fact, during the hour, I changed the head on my burning tool and did my own thing, with greater success. My comments are not intended as grumbles but as constructive criticism so that Bento can improve its classes for the future - if it wants to.

Ann-Marie Metcalfe • Mar 2022

I'm a total beginner at watercolour painting. I loved the online lesson. It was very relaxed and informal but very informative. I loved it and came away with a half decent painting. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend this class to anyone.

Paula was brilliant, very helpful and allowed time for everyone to get through each step and feel included. I did the workshop with my 7 year old daughter who was initially not impressed with the idea and now wants us to find more workshops to try.

I enjoyed the class although nowhere near enough time to complete the project. I was enjoying it so much and the 90 minutes flew by! Gisela showed us the basics and explained everything well at an appropriate pace. She also signposted us to where we would find videos to help take it off the loom once we finish.

Becky Dey • Mar 2022

So much to learn in a short time. Great instruction with a friendly patient tutor. Lots of links for further support as well as an email for help. Great beginners course

Chris Jackson • Mar 2022

The session was very good well paced and clearly explained. Only enough time for 2 practice pieces and a little demo and discussion about potential ways forward with other techniques that can be incorporated into the process of fluid art. Its not the cleanest way of spending an hour but produces unpredictable and interesting results. Hopefully with practice can produce a good piece for my main canvas which is still in its plastic wrap! If you are considering the session wet wipes, kitchen roll , a large space for 72 hours of wet painting to be flat and undisturbed are essential! Had to phone hobbycraft for a password for zoom as for some peculiar reasons it would not let me in via the link sent.

Alicia Wren • Mar 2022

Amazing It was more helpful than I expected and Chrissie is lovely! I’ll be back for help with specific projects

I really enjoyed learning the basic skills of pyrpgraphy in this workshop. Having never attempted pyrpgraphy before, by the end of the session I felt confident to do some basic decoration on one of the wooden blanks provided. The kit was very well equipped and excellent value for money.

Fluid Art for beginners.
Tuesday March 8th, 14:30
I had the time of my life. Paige is such a sweetheart. She is patient, smiling, explains really well.
I didn’t know what to expect from my side as I’m disabled and have fractured vertebrae but I had so much fun I easily went through the course although I didn’t think I could.
I made 2 paintings and I have much left paint and canvasses in my starter pack, so I can do much more.
I always dreaded starting fluid art as it can be intimidating, but now I’m in and I definitely will continue. As a bonus, I had a one to one with my teacher!
Really recommended course to get you started.
Thank you again Paige!

What an enjoyable hour this was! Such a friendly “teacher” who made everything seem such fun I lovely introduction to this craft and I now have the knowledge to continue with other pyrography projects! I thoroughly recommend it!

Olivia Cameron • Mar 2022

really enjoyable! Loads of materials left to do more, so super value for money. really nice afternoon and great host/leader.

Helen Benson • Mar 2022

Had a really nice time learning the different stitches and how they could be used on other patterns once mastered. Felt really relaxed after a stressful day. Irene was really helpful and paced things well and waited for me when I got a little behind!

Daniel McAllister • Mar 2022

12 ClassBento workshops attended • 11 reviews

She spent the majority of the class talking about how to navigate in design space and spent very little time actually making any flowers in the workshop designed for making flowers.

As a result, the entirety of the course meant only one rolled flower was produced.

There was no explanation or instruction about what cut patterns form what flower shapes.

When I asked if she could go over quilling tools, she merely said you needed a fine slot one. The set I purchased had 11 different tools It would’ve been helpful to answer the question and differentiate the key ones and their uses. In her (very brief) response, she didn’t show the tip(s) or explain any usage for clarity.

Samantha Fuller • Mar 2022

Angela Robinson • Mar 2022

Pyrography was harder than I expected in relation to moving the tool around the wood, so I’m so glad I joined this class.
Chrissie moved at a nice pace. At no stage did I feel rushed or unsure of what to do. It must be hard as a tutor to do these on zoom not knowing exactly what was going on at the other end of the screen when our heads were all down. But at the end everyone’s designs looked fab!

Elaine Ward • Mar 2022

I was glad that I had looked at a tutorial on line first and that I already had a template cut out to draw round as it made drwaing the outline easier.
Rachel was a helpful and ethusiastic tutor and always answered our questions. Looking forward to finishing it.

What a brilliant session. I was able to ask Chrissie about my project by sharing the screen. She gave me loads of great hints and tips for design space to enable me to complete the project.
We also talked about foil transfer which I found really frustrating and her tips have inspired me to give it another go. Chrissie really listens, is very clear with instructions and has a warm, friendly and calm approach.
I really enjoyed the session, thank you.

To improve, suggest zoom rules (as in work meetings) e.g use the hand up function so people don’t talk over others.

My class was 1-1 as I was the only person booked on it. My tutor was very friendly and tried to make it fun. Unfortunately I found crocheting quite fiddly and the colour of wool I picked wasn’t the easiest.
All in all was enjoyable and I have the rest of the project to finish. It was bought as a present from my friend so it was a nice treat to have a go at.

Learned a lot and was so excited to practice all afternoon after the workshop.

Sarah Madden • Mar 2022

I had an excellent session with Hannah. She started the class on time ( early in fact) and was very helpful giving clear instructions at the same time as demonstrating. I had asked about putting a zip in a cushion cover; she covered that as well as button holes and edging stitch. Very good value for money. Thank you Hannah.

Rachel was a great teacher and I was lucky enough to get a one to one session as the only person on the workshop!

The workshop was fast paced, not long enough to finish the whole piece but enough time comfortably learn 7 different stitches and ask questions at the end.

You get loads of materials in the kit, far more than you need to complete the flower embroidery.

Marilyn Gott • Mar 2022

Lady who led them course was friendly and went at just the pace so you could keep up but didn't get bored for three next part. Kit came and the right time and with a generous amount of yarn so that there's plenty to do more by yourself. Found it easier than I thought I would to pick up. Especially being on a screen and but in person but the instructor need it so easy to follow, and really appreciate the discount code for further workshops, have already booked only a day later!

What a wonderful fun and interesting workshop. Naomi was fabulous and full of hints, tips and knowledge about the products and the project. I felt truly supported, which made the hour and a half very enjoyable and it run very smoothly. Thank you so much.

Kathy Stanley • Mar 2022

This workshop is AMAZING I took a knitting class like a year or two ago and didn’t really pick up on it after the session, but after taking this session I feel like I’m a pro. Kathryn was being so helpful especially with how to fix mistakes and how to make knitting easier. I recommend 10/10

Sharon Vos-Arnold • Mar 2022

I did my fluid art class yesterday. I was a bit nervous because its been a long time since I've been able to do anything like this. I needn't have worried my tutor was lovely (and it was one-to-one which was a bonus). All the materials turned up in plenty of time. As it was I had to postpone for a week due to the storm taking out our power and internet, everything was dealt with so easily. All round its been a very good experience. I also questioned why the canvas had a frame which would stop the paint flow but this is due to people who have to drive their work home before it dried! I did a flip cup pour on my framed canvas today & it looks brilliant. Highly recommended, thank you.

A little disappointed expected complete beginners guide to talk about the machine and what it could do , explain the different blades ( just touched on at end in response to a question) and smart materials etc.
in design space thought all the icons would be explained and then a project taken through from beginning to end.
This was all about design space and not about introducing a total beginner to the Cricut Maker 3.
Glad I’ve booked a one to one as not yet confident that I can use the machine to it’s best potential.

I was nervous of this but Irene was so lovely. No question was unanswered. No question was made to feel stupid. What an asset Irene is Hobbycraft. I learnt so much. It was done at an easy pace. I also didn’t feel it was a sell, sell, sell workshop. Would definitely recommend this to anyone

Chrissie went to great lengths to be well prepared for the session. As such, she was able to answer the numerous questions I had and had examples ready to show me.

As a total beginner i felt the start could have been explained a little more in depth however as the class progressed i felt i gained a good understanding of what i needed to try out infusible ink. Well presented and helpful.

Noa Bladon • Feb 2022

The teacher was very clear and approachable. I learned a lot and enjoyed gaining some skill in this area. The items sent were great and good value for money too.

Jeannie Shapiro • Feb 2022

The instructor was lovely and clear. I think that 90 minutes for beginners though isn't enough. I can knit and purl but I can't cast on or off. I fell at the first hurdle as I was having trouble casting on and could use more help but didn't want to monopolise the instructor's time. So I just watched the rest. I did ask for help at the very end but then too late to follow the rest. I think you could easily sell courses for just casting on and off as well as tinking (unknit - how to correct a mistake). It is a bit intimidating asking questions with other people you don't know - you don't want to look silly. I'd love an in-person class now that restrictions are off. I think that would be easier for beginners. I haven't completed any of the cactuses - I am stuck with a mistake so now need to find someone to help me sort. I can only imagine how really newbies are coping. I will watch the videos to see if I can get help. I think the courses are great but the expectation of how much you can fit in during the time allocated needs rethinking.

Kally Finch • Feb 2022

Really great class for me as a beginner who has only been through the set up on my machine. Chrissie was great, very knowledgeable and friendly and put me at ease as I was a bit apprehensive attending, as I had no knowledge of the product. I've left feeling more confident and have learnt so much in an hour. I would definitely recommend this workshop and I will be back in the future for more help and support as and when needed. I now have the confidence to give it a go on my own and begin my crafting journey.

Helen Wiseman • Feb 2022

Chrissie was really helpful, and solved a Cricut issue I have had for a while - mainly down to the pre-work she had done before we 'zoomed'. Invaluable help, saving me so much time in future projects!

Kathryn Andrews • Feb 2022

Really friendly presenter who gave lots of detail and tips.
The only thing I found slightly tricky was that when she was demonstrating the lettering it was more difficult to see the letter until she took her hand off the paper because she was left handed. I’m not sure what the difference might have been if the demonstrator was right handed or if the camera angle could fix this. Totally no reflection on her at all, as she was friendly, helpful and interacted with us excellently.

Louise Jones • Feb 2022

Rachel was very friendly and explained clearly the various methods of cross stitch. Highly recommended.

Kathryn was excellent. She started with a group of some that had crochet experience and some (me) that had never picked up a hook before. Whilst I’ve still got to continue (probably over then next few weeks) to complete my blanket, I’ve now the understanding to do this. Which is incredible to be taken from zero knowledge, when I was very worried I’d bitten off more than I could chew, to learn this over zoom. Thank you so much.
I would definitely recommend.

Lynette Under • Feb 2022

We shared all the tasks: ironing the fabric, cutting it into triangles, sewing 2 seams on each one, turning the turned triangles inside out, pressing them, pinning triangles to tape, sewing triangles to the tape. And all done while watching, listening and talking with Hannah! The time flew and we were very pleased with our results. Would definitely sign up for more of Hannah’s classes. She’s great!

From the start, Chrissie fully understood the project I was trying to do (make stickers with my maker). She was really welcoming and made me feel at ease. She also joined in on the excitement when it worked! As well as actually making the stickers and thoroughly explaining the process (step-by-step), Chrissie also shared some more tips for using Design Space. She was happy to share her screen, and to see my screen, which definitely helped during this 1:1. Chrissie went at my pace; going back over steps if she needed to, and giving me time to make notes. I'm already excited about finding a new project I can do with Chrissie. I would highly recommend these 1:1 sessions, particularly like me, if you have specific questions.

Helen Ashley • Feb 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as a total newbie to the hobby. The pack arrived a few days before an gad Good quality products inside. Maybe more time could have been had for using the needle if instructions had been sent before hand on tracing the pattern onto fabric, so we were more prepared to go. This isn't a criticism though because the workshop was very professionally organised. Thank you for a brilliant way to spend 1.5 hours!

Lidia Vasileva • Feb 2022

The teacher was absolutely lovely, but as an absolute beginner, I feel like this class is 2 levels above my current stage! It feels like the pattern is too complicated and the tools are not really newbie friendly - the needles are really slippery and the yarn is very thin! I am happy I took the class because it gave me an insight, but I am going to go buy thicker needles and yarn to be able to learn by myself

Joined the workshop for crochet bunting but I think before many of the beginners could start a pattern it would have been ideal to have made a workshop on basics for beginners to learn the various crochet stitches and how to hold the hook etc and another workshop for the making something… crochet as it’s a gradual learning curve with crochet. I managed to do one bunting piece all but it not exactly straight at the edges but hay ho

Megan Daniel • Feb 2022

Great class I’ve learned all the basics to be able to carry on with the bunting. I think it was great for beginners because Kathryn went over how to do it multiple times and you could clearly see what she was doing. Before the workshop I felt really nervous that I wouldn’t be able to do it but now I feel a lot more confident to carry on, thank you.

Gisela was brilliant with the course very good knowledge of loom weaving but for me that is a novice I found too much information was being made in one go and found it hard to follow some of the technics. It would have been better if there was a beginner class to learn the main basics of the loom weaving and another course for the harder weaving. But that’s my only opinion being I found it harder to learn to much in one go especially the harder intricate weaving. But as usual a value for money course with great tutor

This was great .As a true beginner I found it easy to understand and follow, and hope I will be able to finish my piece off later. The time goes very fast which shows how enjoyable it is. The instructor very clear and patient, yet also managed to fit in the 3 techniques and show how to finish off and have the piece ready for hanging. I also appreciated the information about the u tube videos. Many thanks, it was fun

I had such a lovely afternoon with the tutor Chloe - who has such a talent and passion for her craft.

I would certainly tell people to give these online classes a go! I will definitely be joining more classes in the near future and really great value for money too :)

Caroline Batson • Feb 2022

This was a good introduction to watercolour for beginners.

The pace of the class was a bit fast and I fell behind pretty much within the first five minutes.

The results were good and I’m pleased with my first watercolour nature picture!

Fantastic class and the supply box gives enough material to make more than one set of bunting.

Anna Blakeman • Feb 2022

The course was brilliant! Our host was extremely friendly and explained each brush strike very well. The stationary included in the price was of a high quality. It was a treat to try this course and we are definitely looking forward to booking onto another!

Rhiegan Giles • Feb 2022

This class was very informative and the instructor went through it however many times we needed to make sure we got it, it helped a lot with my gcse project. The instructor was super laid back and easy to talk to so it wasnt awkward asking questions or asking for help.

Natalie Leverett • Feb 2022

A fun and fast moving class with a delightful teacher, who explained everything very clearly, with the option for further guidance if needed. A short climb off the world creative course - would thoroughly recommend.

Fiona Summers • Feb 2022

What a lovely lady Becki is. She was very friendly. Spoke clearly. Gave time for anyone to ask any questions. She did the brush strokes clearly and repeated again. I really enjoyed the session and would recommend. I was very encouraged to keep practising and continue the hard work she put in.
Thank you Becki.

I really enjoyed this workshop as I had been wanting to try out Punch Needle for a while now.
The group was small so was ideal to be able to converse with the artisan and other students.
I will admit my work wasn’t the best but I had a lot of fun making it.

Yvonne Temple • Feb 2022

Thank you so much. Holly was absolutely fabulous. Everything was explained really clearlyshe gave me so many insights into my new Maker 3. Having taken the class with Holly I now feel so much more confident to use my machine and start creatingyay

I really found the class relaxing and enjoyed the weaving. The explanations were really clear and it was easy to keep to the pace set. I actually carried on weaving for about another half hour after the class finished!
It was great to hear that there is the thought for more advanced classes. I was interested to hear you could make blankets out of weaving small pieces and sewing them together - that sounds fun as do some of the other techniques - herringbone stitches etc. I checked out the links and found these useful reminders as well, Many thanks for another interesting class. Will be signing up for more - it's great to be able to do them from the comfort of my own home - my nearest Hobbycraft is an hour away.

Mrs Lewington • Feb 2022

Really enjoyed an hour of escapism. The workshop was well paced and great for beginners. The craft kit provided was excellent but it might be nice to include a photo of what we were replicating (I might have got the wings in correct place)! For those yet to do the course, I would recommend having a pencil handy. I also missed the 10% discount code for another class. Needed to give us a bit longer to take it down.

Jacqui Knowles-Bell • Feb 2022

I loved the class. The tutor was lovely and very helpful. I ended up with a beautiful floral crown

Sally Cox • Feb 2022

Christie was patient with me and was a source of knowledge. She answered my questions and queries and I could have spent longer with her doing all sorts of projects

This was a fantastic class! The instructor Rachel was knowledgeable and fun. It was a great introduction for me as I had never done any kind of weaving before. During the class we learnt the basics and got about quarter of the project complete. But I had enough knowledge to complete it independently throughout the rest of the day. Highly recommend this class. I hope Hobbycraft will provide further workshops for loom weaving so I can increase my skills and knowledge.

Geraldine Fay • Feb 2022

This online class cured me of “buttonhole fear”! The instructor was very friendly and helpful.There were only 3 people in the workshop and it was very much tailored to our needs.I felt comfortable to ask any kind of question.I somehow had not realised it was a sew along but I managed to get my machine out and make two buttonholes which I am happy with. Thank you.

Shayon Desir • Feb 2022

Very enjoyable workshop - the time went very quickly but I do think it was the right length. It is useful to have had a bit of knowledge of what cross stitch looks like but accessible and at a good pace. Irene was extremely knowledgeable and able to provide a lot of advice and tips. I would recommend people to join! Equipment arrived in good time and the tone of the session was relaxed and inclusive.

Tania Cornejo • Feb 2022

it was very good. Chrissie told me all the material and ideas ofnwhat I can make with my machine. As I am new in this craft and I don't have a particular project I idnt have more questions and the meeting finished earlier. which could be better idea if she would keep talking about this machine and more ideas for me to make the most of it. ut I am still happy to know more about the use if my cricut

Great workshop as an introduction and teacher was really calm and patient and kept a great pace to be able to keep up with while being informative. Now have a beautiful wall hanging and have been looking at more patterns, definitely keeping macrame up as a craft.

Patricia Butler • Feb 2022

Miss Newman • Feb 2022

I undertook this class as a refresher to embroidery and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Irene took the class at a good pace and was happy to guide and demonstrate when asked. The duration was just right for myself. It was also nice to be at home, but maybe in another environment when we are allowed.
Thank you for organising a good class. I will upload photos in due course.

Christine Ward • Feb 2022

I sometimes missed what Holly said as she spoke quite low when painting.
We also had someone who joined late so Holly did her best to catch the person up but that then got confusing as to what we should be painting and what they were doing unless you were looking at the screen, but that meant that you could t paint.

Absolutely amazing session with Chrissie from the Southampton branch. Introductions were brief and moved on quickly to getting into creating the projects. Chrissie demonstrated a card, water bottle label and sticker in a really clear and very visual way. She explained the key features of the machine (what kerned fonts means and when to include white space and when to search for stencil fonts) and was really interactive with the group. An excellent session and wpuld highly recommend!

Catherine Lee • Feb 2022

Rugila was an excellent teacher and patiently went through all the instructions with the class. Lettering (like most things) is something that will take practice to become more proficient, so that is work we have to do on our own. The course material was lovely too. It was not too long, or too short and excellent value for money.

A good introductory course.

Kirsty Gibbons • Feb 2022

The box had numerous items only a few of which we used on the night so lots left to practise on. The teacher was lovely and very enthusiastic, she answered numerous questions whilst rushing back to explaining the alphabet, being conscious of the lack of time to fit everything in we needed to. This course could definitely do with 1.5 hours to do it justice and that is why it has been marked good rather than great.

Even though the workshop was 1.5 hours some of the participants were struggling at the start and it got a bit confusing. I think it would be better to have this workshop in 2 parts - first 1.5 hours learning the basics and then another 1.5 hours developing the technique. I for one would be willing to pay extra just so I got a better 'hang' of how to crochet.

Carolyn Barnes • Feb 2022

I was really looking forward to Beginner's Crochet. Items arrived and I was all set up with the link. Teacher, Kathryne was excellent. We were taught the first stitch, but had to sit and wait a further 30 mins due to one lady finding the course particularly difficult and unable to complete the first task. We had about 20 mins being taught two rounds and then it was back to the lady who could not complete the first stitch. The 25 mins of teaching was really good, but very sad that so little was achieved in 90 mins. Therefore, the conclusion is that it isn't worth the money. Gave it three stars as had the potential to be a really good session.

Nice introduction to fluid art - helpful tips and enjoyed trying out different things. The most fun was tipping the paint - think we might have ended up with more of it on us, rather than the canvas. Definitely have plenty of old newspapers/ old towels and a pre run bowl of washing up water! We used the Hobbycraft delivery box as a drying container as it neatly fits the 4 small canvas boards provided.

The actual workshop was great too - very understanding and forgiving tutor, checking in with us all the way through to ensure we were all ok with the pace and where we were with our bunting. I thoroughly enjoyed it - 10/10! Also, we got a link to lots of helpful videos to continue learning and revising all there is to know about Crochet! Thank you Hobbycraft!

Rachel Middlemass • Feb 2022

The pack that is sent through for this course is fabulous - actually everything that you need.
Sadly, I don't think that the actual course is a beginners course - it felt much more advanced, and out of the 5 people on the call - only one managed to make something resembling the bunting that we were supposed to create!
I think a basic basic course - teaching the absolute basics would be more use. I'm going to try following the youtube videos instead to see if I can get to grips with crochet for beginners!

Polly Farrell • Feb 2022

It was a very enjoyable lesson and the tutor was great. She explained what she was doing very clearly and there was enough time to practice. I think it would be great if the numbers 0 to 9 were also included in the tutorial, as it is very common to use numbers as well as letters when doing decorative writing.

Lorraine Dick • Feb 2022

Enjoyed my lesson immensely. Christie was fantastic. Answered all my questions, gave me super advice. Helped me decide what machine to purchase and aided me with which accessories to buy for future lessons. I can’t wait until

Really enjoyed the class. There were only 4 of us so we had good interaction with the tutor who was lovely. She made sure each stitch was demonstrated as many times as necessary to make sure we could all do it. The class needs to be a bit longer if you want to finish the project but you know enough to finish it by yourself which I was keen to do so that I didn’t forget anything. There is plenty of fabric in the pack to make lots more things.

Nicola Chamberlain • Feb 2022

The class was great - I was the only attendee so I got one-to-one support throughout. I was impressed it still ran with one person and still lasted the full time. The teacher was great - friendly and helpful and made it a really enjoyable experience. I now have another craft to add to my collection - thank you!

This is the third class I've done. All said to be ready 10 mins beforehand but the tutor was never there at that time. This one was right on 6.30pm - I'm not sure why you are asking people to sign-in earlier if the tutor's not there?
I enjoyed the class although the tutor spoke very fast to start with and sounded really quite nervous. She was helpful and answered any questions I had.
I've attached my incomplete picture. The tutor's picture of the course is no longer on the website but I took a picture from the screen when she held her one up.

Emma Leaver • Feb 2022

I really enjoyed the session, learning a new skill and having my questions answered. Hannah was very knowledgeable and interested in what she was teaching. I cannot wait to see what other courses come out like this as it was a perfect length and great to be able to do at home.

Christine Peach • Feb 2022

Hannah explained clearly how to sew a buttonhole - answered questions asked - patiently guided me through the steps and was pleasant and friendly

Excellent presenter, clearly spoken and very informative. She had a lot to go through in an hour, but explained everything fairly slowly and answered a few questions along the way too.

Claire Scott • Feb 2022

Good course. Surprised though that we didn’t actually see the machine make anything. I thought we’d at least see it make one thing to understand how it worked.

Natalie Stock • Feb 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Good class for learning the basics of the maker 3. Explains design space and all the different tools you can use in the machine and its basic capabilities. A great starting point. I would recommend this class and take further classes with an Artisan.

Susie Latham • Feb 2022

Joey was really clear with her explanation and it was useful to see some of her projects
The trainer was patient with our questions and it was a really enjoyable session
now to try some practical applications :-)

Ailsa Morris • Feb 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

A really good introduction to crochet. Not an easy thing to teach online, but the tutor was really patient and explained the stitches and ideas very clearly. The small group definitely helped, as she was able to spot where individuals needed some extra guidance and to go over each stage several times. The time flew by!

Mary Jenkins • Feb 2022

Just had a one to one with Vicky, I so enjoyed it. Vicky was very knowledgeable, helpful and most of all patient. I have been too scared to attempt foiling and now I can’t wait to do more I find the one to one classes amazingly helpful for me and highly recommended them

Ana Garcia • Feb 2022

Suzanne Crabb • Feb 2022

Such a great class, wish it had been longer Everything was clearly explained, and the demonstration was very clear (and very beautifully done). It was great to be able to ask questions, particularly as a left hander, and I really appreciated the extra advice! Totally recommend!

Emily Barker • Feb 2022

Great session and Gisela was a wonderful teacher! We had a fantastic time and would 100% recommend
Added a photo (although not the best quality) or our finished product below! Now to find a place for it and a plant

What a super workshop! As an absolute newbie with hand embroidery (just some vaguely okayish cross stitch and tapestry kits to date), I’ve learned enough to feel confident instead of slightly overwhelmed. The course tutor, Joey, was lovely. Well paced, explained clearly, and demonstrated brilliantly. Thank you Joey!

Claire Rotherham • Feb 2022

Really enjoyed it will take a bit of practice but so glad I did the workshop look forward to doing more in the future .

Kate Martin • Feb 2022

Just copied a picture - didn't learn anything at all about folk art. I'm not even sure what folk art tradition the image is supposed to be based on. The materials given were really nice but that wasn't really what I was after. The timing seemed quite rushed with me having to try and learn the next step while still on the previous one sometimes, but we had time left over at the end. The teacher didn't seem particularly into this kind of art work or experienced with it - "I think these are supposed to be roses" etc. Would rather have been taught the art she likes and is good at and could teach well.

Emma Tullett • Feb 2022

I found out how to use the infusible ink sheets and pens. The only thing negative I think are the introductions as they took a lot of time and I would of liked to see more on how the pens worked for designs

S Goff • Feb 2022

A good class - tutor showed us a few techniques and how to layer up different elements and patterns. Class was quite fast paced but she was lovely so I felt I could have asked for clarification/ repeat instructions if necessary. Top tip from me: get hold of some metallic paints or pens and once painting has dried, go over and highlight it. Really makes it *pop* ✨✨

Angela Star • Feb 2022

This was a great session - one of the best that I have done. Christie explained everything clearly, welcomed questions and gave some great tips.

Another great session with Chrissie - feeling much more confident now and ready to use infusible ink now to think of my next project!
For anyone thinking about booking onto one of the workshops I would definitely say go for it! They are so reasonably priced and worth every penny! Would highly recommend.

Samantha Starbuck • Feb 2022

It was very good but went so quickly.Just a suggestion but wondered if there could be follow up classesI'd be more than happy to pay

Lin Gray • Feb 2022

As someone who has never attempted crochet before I wonder whether there was too much to attempt to learn in 90 minutes. It isn't just a matter of learning the stiches but also how to hold the hook and the yarn. The You Tube videos will be invaluable and without them to refer to I would have no confidence in being able to complete the project.

Thank you so much for a relaxing hour and half learning the basics of punch needle. I'd done a little before but you gave me the confidence to put into practice what I'd done previously and it didn't keep pulling out. Perfect session and even better as it was one to one so I got all my questions answered and some really good tips on how to approach it. Thank you again and will post a completed picture

Tina Lowe • Feb 2022

Really enjoyed the course, came away with the skills to go forward with it. Would definitely recommend it.

Catherine McGlade • Feb 2022

A good class which gave the participants some insight and practice. Maybe if we increase the timing by half n hour, participants can get more practice or an option for a longer class would be nice too.

Ru was fantastic. Her personality and energy is infectious. I've not done Lino Printing since school, which didn't go well, but with Ru's encouragement I felt confident to go for it. Very happy with the results. Thank you Ru.

Lily Radford • Feb 2022

Really good fun, teacher was great, get plenty of supplies In the box (although we had the small canvases missing in one box so we had to share). Pase is far too fast an hour is simply not enough time, it was rushed, panicked. Needs to be 90 minutes in order to cover everything, be more relaxed and enjoyable. The speed made it stressful. I do highly recommend it but it's put me off doing other classes unless they are longer in length.

Helen Ross • Feb 2022

Enjoyable introduction to fluid art. The workshop tutor was friendly and easy to follow and range of materials provided was good.

Sandra Hill • Feb 2022

Loved doing this new craft. I was very disappointed not to finish the craft and I didn’t think I was slow, just wasn’t enough time. I do hope I can finish on my own, even though it was said that I could email for help and there is hobby craft YouTube help

Julia Tapper • Feb 2022

This workshop was fun to do and showed you how you could create a lot in a short time. The workshop leader was very friendly, enthusiastic and well organised - thank you. The kit was good, but I would rather have had another colour or grey than the black. Also the additional wooden edged frame seems an odd thing to include for the workshop. The canvasses we used in the workshop allowed and needed the paints to flow off the edges, but this frame wouldn't and the unfinished wooden edges aren't very attractive. I can't see how I'm going to use it.

I was a bit apprehensive about doing a workshop online, but I needn't have worried as the teacher was lovely and very helpful. She put us all at ease and went over anything as many times as was needed if somebody struggled. I enjoyed learning the different weave techniques and although my wall hanging is not yet finished I look forward to doing more.

Dawn Christie • Feb 2022

I found it a little bit more difficult that I had expected by the host (I've written her name down) was lovely. An hour just flew by. I received the material in advance of the online session. Overall it was enjoyable.

Sally Yeo • Feb 2022

Brilliant instruction, really easy to follow, even online. The project chosen was a nice simple one to do but really pleasing result - I am two thirds of the way through and love my little cacti. The pack arrived in good time and contained everything I needed, more than enough so I may make some more. We had great fun in the group. I will recommend these sessions.

Catherine Davies • Feb 2022

Such a great way to spend an evening - with the company of the delightful teacher, Gisela, learning a fab new craft! Gisela was very patient and explained things really well both verbally and visually. From receiving the package in the post to the workshop last night its been a great experience all round and I have already told family and friends about it! I will be booking more workshops - DEFINITELY! Fantastic value for money! Thank you Gisela and thank you Hobbycraft!

Alison Trumper • Feb 2022

This was an anniversary present from my husband as I kept meaning that I’d never been able to master crochet Absolutely brilliant! The presenter had so much patience and everything was explained so clearly, that the project we were learning just grew and grew! I’d highly recommend this to anybody who is a beginner or not crochet confident. You are delivered everything you need by ups prior to your chosen date; you are sent a link and meeting details for zoom and meet others in the same boat as you I will definitely be using the money off code and have a go at something else next

Stephanie Ellner • Feb 2022

It was harder than I imagined soni was glad we started with a simple template. I'm looking forward to using the second tile and making some cards. It was a messy process and the ink didn't come up evenly. I'll keep at it!

Angela Short • Feb 2022

The box was great, everything that was needed. Teacher was lovely, explained things very well and was very patient. At times it felt a bit too slow but I’m sure at times I also made it a bit slow for the others on the call too!
I would recommend this.

Definitely join 10 mins before as advised. I had to call Customer Services at the last minute to get a password to log into the Zoom meeting (wasn’t supposed to need one). The course was good, the teacher very helpful and relaxed. The video was a close up of hands, hook and yarn so it was clear to see what you had to do.

Linda Hotchen • Feb 2022

Absolutely amazing the time flew by! I had only really taken my Cricut out of its box and had no idea if it’s potential. So much info, great presentation style putting me at ease immediately. I am now so excited and will definitely be booking another session on vinyl ASAP. Thank you !

The technology worked, which is always a bonus! The presenter was very informative and friendly and she did a great job of explaining and showing me everything. I created a couple of pieces that I really liked, and I will definitely be doing it again.

Just spent a lovely afternoon learning to crochet. I am a total beginner and in the hour and a half crafted the festive bunting. The tutor was so kind and patient with me. Going over things again and again so that I felt confident to continue with the craft. The kit arrived in good time and it was of exceptional quality and plenty of it. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try a new craft or technique. Will be booking on to more of these workshops. Thankyou Hobbycraft.

Cherry Jeffs • Feb 2022

Thoroughly enjoyed the introduction to brush lettering. Will need to put in some serious practice which in no way reflects on the quality of teaching.

Jayne Sword • Feb 2022

Thank you so much for the class this afternoon (1/02/2022) I’ve got more confidence in trying different techniques & have a feeling the house will be fitted with fluid art paintings, well the ones which turn out okay!

The artisan leading the class and the class itself was really good. She always checked on how everyone was doing and gave lots of useful tips along the way. I also really liked how she told us the name of the stitches at the end just in case we wanted to look anything up after the class was done.

Kymme Goodwill • Feb 2022

A really enjoyable course. All my questions were answered with great knowledge. I felt so special as I was the only client and had a 1-2-1 session. Fantastic value for money as I have loads of fluid paint left to create my masterpiece. There were 4 boards in the pack to practice on.
Rigile was lovely and really helpful.

Caroline Burrows • Feb 2022

My Daughter and I booked this class. My Daughter is a Fine art student and her specialism is landscapes and is trying all mediums available.

We loved the class and will definitely look for others :-)

Theresa Finzi • Jan 2022

As I am thinking of buying a Cricut maker, I booked a 1:1 lesson to find out exactly what they can do. The teacher was excellent- full of advice and extremely knowledgeable. The lesson was worth every penny - couldn’t be happier

Otherwise good class and lots learnt

Lesley Harding • Jan 2022

At the end we were told there would be a YouTube video of our class which was only available whilst the class was live on zoom. I clicked on the onscreen link but have been unable to locate the YouTube video which I really need to help me. I did enjoy the actual zoom class

Miss Salt • Jan 2022

Very clear instructions, and I needed to ask for help as a complete beginner. The small group size helped. I practised afterwards and my pot holder is progressing slowly!

Elizabeth Lyle • Jan 2022

I enjoyed the hour and it was the first time I have done a video call and it all went well

Tania Khan • Jan 2022

A nice relaxing session. I learned lots of new shading techniques. The kit that was delivered was also great.

Elizabeth Pirie • Jan 2022

I found it informative but also difficult to see the article in ZOOM. The tutor was very good and very patient. Hopefully from what was explained after apractice I will be able to complete project.

Katy Clark • Jan 2022

Really great beginners session. I can now cast on, knit, purl and cast off, which is more than I was able to earn from YouTube videos. I have also already finished my first knitted cactus!
Could have done with being a little bit longer so we could do more knitting with someone on hand to ask questions.

Kim Trott • Jan 2022

It was great and Hannah was very knowledgeable in what she was talking about.
My basket on hobby craft website is filling up and I can’t wait to get started.

Michelle Holliday • Jan 2022

A fantastic workshop, the lady leading it was great, knowledgeable and patient. It was very enjoyable

I have previously taken part in a variety of Hobbycraft lessons, some face to face, some online which have been excellent, so I was particularly disappointed with this lesson.
The session started late, and the tutor went through the steps much too fast given that we are new to sewing. The instructions sent out in advance of the session clearly stated that the only thing we needed to bring was ourselves. It was therefore a surprise when half way through the tutor told us to practice using our sewing machines.
In comparison with other sessions this tutor appeared to be unprepared. The camera(s) was/were badly placed so we couldn’t see what she was doing, and she wasn’t facing us when talking to us.
The tutor then spent her time talking to another student because I couldn’t set my machine up, so as I wasn’t doing anything I eventually gave up and left.
The tutor offered help via email for after the lesson as I had only had half of a lesson.
The tutor was very pleasant and easy to talk to, but I didn’t learn anything new, and left feeling very disappointed.

Sarah Mehta • Jan 2022

A very good introduction to using the materials and techniques for acrylic pouring. The supplied kit is very useful. The tutor was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Be prepared to work quickly. Even 15 minutes more would have allowed a more relaxed pace. Good value.

Katie White • Jan 2022

The whole class was very rushed and aside from the time spent on the individual letters, there really was very little time spent joining the letters up. That was packed in to 5 minutes at the end.

Grace Clarson • Jan 2022

Really lovely host and explained everything really clearly and made sure everyone new exactly what they were doing! I’ve never picked up a crochet hook in my life and I managed to get the hang of it in the session!

Great host, very patient and willing to show things again. There is a lot to take in for a complete beginner, so only having enough time to complete a couple of rows, then being shown how to finish it off when we reach the required number of rows was a little daunting, not sure if I will remember all the stitches required when I come to do it.

A follow up video of the course (without the audience for privacy) would be very useful, as I think this is going to take a lot of practice and being able to watch again would help.

Emma Bethune • Jan 2022

Irene was absolutely amazing. She was really knowledgeable on my machine. She answered all my questions and gave me a lot more information that I ever thought I would need. She made me feel at ease and I now have so much confidence to use my machine.

It was a bit difficult to listen, watch and do all at the same time. However Joy did repeat things when asked to clarify or demonstrate. It would have helped to have some diagrams of the knotting technique to get an understanding before the class.

I need to play for a while now. Irene has explained several things I didn't understand & shown me things I knew nothing about.
I will defiantly be booking another lesson once Ive mastered what I've learnt today. Irene was brilliant & has a very confident personality.

Elizabeth Marsh • Jan 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

I am a complete novice. However although the tutor explained carefully, I couldn’t get going at all. So I haven’t learnt from the session unfortunately. Diagrams with the instructions would probably have helped. I have rated OK because of her clear instruction , but it was just too fast for me.

Jenni Hopkins • Jan 2022

The instructor was really good - pitched instruction for starters at right level. Didn't realise that I was learning fundamental watercolour techniques until I had done them - which is much less daunting. Pleasantly surprised at what I could achieve in an hour.
I loved getting the box which was delivered by courier in plenty of time, nicely presented with good quality contents.

Only negatives were
- the instructor's camera was unreliable - out of focus some of the time - which was frustrating for her and us.
- we needed a pencil with a hard lead which was not listed as one of the things I needed on the website - perhaps include one in the box?

When the kit arrived the cutters were missing but luckily I'd opened it far enough in advance for a pair to be posted out. I was able to craft along with the instructor. She went at a relaxed speed so it didn't feel rushed in any way. Once I'd sorted out my mic problems we were able to chat as we went along. She explained the process really well and shared useful tips as well. I feel confident I can make another flower crown by myself.

I really enjoyed this workshop. It turns out I was the only one attending the class so I had a private lesson which was great.

I felt at ease and was able to ask questions on how to get the stitches correct and how I can use them on different projects in the future.

This was one of the best workshops I have taken with Hobbycraft.

I think Embroidery might be my new hobby I seem to be pretty good at it :)

Brilliant workshop, I learnt 8 new craft techniques all in the space of an hour! All explained really well and in a lovely friendly way. I hadn’t ever done an online workshop before and it immediately inspired me to sign up for another one!

Really enjoyable workshop. The box arrived in good time, had enough of everything to make a few more paintings after the workshop, and it was great that the lid can be used as a painting area. The artisan was very knowledgeable and had some great ideas for projects using the run off. As a complete beginner, the timing and level were just about right. All round a great workshop and I would recommend it.

Sarah Wrobel • Jan 2022

I had an incredible time on this workshop. Jenny is fun, engaging, talented and creative which makes the whole session easy to follow and be a part of. The kit is beautifully packaged and inspirational. The products are all fabulous. I just wish the class was longer as I would have loved to do more!

Loved this workshop! Chrissie, as always, was great at answering all our questions and making it fun as well as informative. Lots of great tips and inspiration. I feel much more confident in using my easy press now. I’d recommend these workshops to anyone who is new to the easy press and needs that little extra nudge to get started with it.

Hester Dalgleish • Jan 2022

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

I liked the class but I am not always as quick to get things straight away so felt like because I struggled with the first step, I couldn't then do the next steps and ended up having to struggle and just watch instead. Maybe this is just me but do find it hard to go at the different teachers speed sometimes.

Sharon Wright • Jan 2022

I found the course was very good for an experienced knitter. One thing, a you tube video was shared in the Zoom call but when the time for the course times out, the YouTube link disappears as the course is timed out. Can the link be emailed to those attending the course?

Alvera Beynon • Jan 2022

Really fun & enjoyed a bit repetitive but needed to know all letters.
A birthday card sample would have been useful
Love the book & more joined up letters
Hour not long enough

Kelly Parsons • Jan 2022

The 1hr Course was great. Jenny was fantastic, very informative and the project was very easy to follow. The supplies you have delivered were great too- good quality products. I will definitely be seeing what other courses are available!

Irene was really friendly and very knowledgable. She was able to help me with everything that I asked and always gave time for me to ask questions and was able to answer all of them in great detail. She was also very willing to give me lots of tips and tricks to make using the joy easier.

Katherine Gomme • Jan 2022

Lovely workshop but no where near enough time to learn the basics of crochet I ended up with a large knot.

Linda King • Jan 2022

Kate was fab. So patient, going back over each step when someone went wrong. Really enjoyed it. The extra half hour is just right. An hour and a half is long enough to concentrate on something new! I look forward to practising daily until my bunting is complete.

Gill Goldsmith • Jan 2022

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

For me this wasn't a beginner's workshop. Although the tutor was patient and went over things several times I felt the project was too advanced. I needed more basic help on holding the hook and on making the basic stitches.
It would have been better to do in person which is what I thought it would be when I booked.

Kay Coupland • Jan 2022

A lovely drawing class. This was a well planned lesson on how to sketch a flower and as a complete beginner I was amazed at how I was able to produce something that looked like a flower! The lesson gently took you through techniques that you could apply throughout the session. The instructor was very clear and confidence building. A really good session.

Sau Ma • Jan 2022

I really enjoy the class a lot. The letter template is great for practice. I wish there could be more example on words in the template.

Denise Ballheimer • Jan 2022

It is a great way of getting started. It is pacey, but the key is listening and doing the class and I will be taking it forward by practising the letters I had problems with. Then having a lot of fun with this new skill! Thank you Rugile,

I did the brush lettering on ceramics at Xmas and struggled a bit with that, so that's the reason I did another workshop. This time I found it a lot better, how it was explained and enjoyed it.

We did pop and get straws on the 2nd piece to play around with it more.

Great kit and workshop, great value for money and my niece loved receiving as her Xmas gift

Carolyn Sharrocks • Jan 2022

The tutor was lovely - very patient and happy to repeat steps. However, as a complete beginner, the online format didn't work for me. I kept going wrong and really needed someone face to face to look at what I was doing.

Pauline Canniffe • Jan 2022

What an amazing idea, Chrissie was lovely and it was great to be shown then have a practice of where I needed help - I would never have known or found out some of the tips that Chrissie was able to show me . I felt the session was very reasonably priced and will definitely be booking another one soon , thank you so much

Claire Orange • Jan 2022

Such a difficult topic to teach over a zoom call. The artisan was very patient and went over everything as many times as people asked. For future attendees I’d recommend having a second crochet hook to practice doing the rings again if you have it right the first time - practice makes perfect! Right? Thank you so much for another enjoyable crafting session

Eileen Black • Jan 2022

Chrissie was very helpful. She knows the machine and all that it can do well. She made it all look very easy - will see once I start using it ha ha. Have a few things I need to get to get me started but hopefully get them all together over the next few days. There were a few delays between Chrissie doing it at her end and me seeing it but it wasn’t an issue. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is new to cricut.

Jann Heigh • Jan 2022

The teacher was very friendly and helpful. We were only a class of two which helped me as I have a hearing impairment so was able to ask the odd question when I didn't hear properly. I think it would have been useful to have a sheet with some examples of the finished artwork for reference ongoing - to jog my memory and help me see where I may have been a bit heavy handed with the paint.

Claire Bower-Parker • Jan 2022

Absolutely fantastic session! I think so far this session has been my favourite. ( not that the others were bad !) Jenny is very clear and calm in genuinely teaching the group. Hopefully there will be more sessions for people to be able to enjoy this mixed media painting and possibly more levels of the same things with new ideas in the future. Thanks Jenny and also the other lady ( & her soon to be famous dog !) for the great evening.

Marion Dockeray • Jan 2022

Unfortunately, my Mum and I (28 &58 years old) found this workshop utterly pointless. We were laughing so much in disbelief that it was £30 per person. If you want to watch someone draw dots or stars on a cracker with a pen, then this is the workshop for you! The person on camera didn’t even say goodbye when they finished, they merely closed the camera. I’m still in disbelief and only now discovered I can provide feedback! So disappointing

Claire Brummitt-Brown • Jan 2022

Quality materials and a lovely tutor but I could not get on with it. I found it hard to ask for help over zoom, especially with my hands full of wool and hook. The instructor did go over things repeatedly but in the end I just gave up and let the others get on with it as I couldn't even get started. I probably would have been better doing this face to face. Hasn't put me off trying other classes.

Charlotte Barrett • Jan 2022

Great short course, shame about the rather challenging other student - the course leader dealt with her admirably but perhaps the other member of staff should have offered to take her off separately so the rest of us could get on

I struggled with this class. The teacher was very clear and did show us several times how to start the project. But I think this sort of tuition would be better face to face when the teacher can see what you are doing and provide one to one assistance. It was hard to watch what she did and make the loops at the same time. I was lost and could not catch up with her. I hope that I will be able to have another go and eventually finish the project

Chris Jackson • Jan 2022

11 ClassBento workshops attended • 10 reviews

Excellent tutor friendly welcoming and helpful with the skills and knowledge that you need as a beginner. Its slightly difficult as the picture is a detailed photo and for a total beginner it might be helpful to have some kind of written guide to reference in the future re pencils and equipment plus an easier to see guide of the drawing maybe worth considering too. Hopefully what I have managed to do will be able to be finished In the coming weeks. Thanks again for a great evening.

Thank you I shall definitely keep an eye out for future sketching workshops.

Ruth Parle • Jan 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed the sketching session. Haven’t drawn much previously and thought I wasn’t doing very well until I held the drawing at arms length and was quite pleased with the end result.
The timing of the session was just about right and the instructor very helpful and came over in a very encouraging manner.

Lesley Ballout • Jan 2022

Really enjoyed this. Tutor - sorry I can't remember her name but think it was Hannah - explained everything clearly and went at our speed and didn't rush us. Now have some lovely soaps and will soon be making some more.

Gill Benjamin • Jan 2022

Kobi did a great gentle job at explaining how to use my new Hobbycraft 19S.
I look forward to using it.
Many thanks.

Chirag Patel • Jan 2022

Chrissie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have a much clearer understanding of using the Cricut and Design Space. Highly recommend these sessions.

Bishop Sharon • Jan 2022

The instructor was good and guided us through using the pyrography tool well. She adapted the session to our level which was good and really supportive.
It felt like there was too much to cover in the amount if time available, so we didn't even start work on the box.
Having said this, I learnt lots and have continued to practise. I will complete my box by next Christmas!

A really great workshop. I bought a Cricut Joy after doing the online workshop for the Cricut Mug Press, with Chrissie. I now know a lot more about using Design Space and how to use my Cricut Joy. Chrissie is so helpful and friendly, she really makes the session enjoyable. I now have the confidence to use my machine and experiment with different materials. I would recommend these workshops to anyone who is new to Cricut.

Another great workshop by Chrissie. This is my third and I have learned a lot from each one. Chrissie is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, she makes the sessions really enjoyable. Lots of hints and tips to help you get the most out of whatever machine you have. I’d definitely recommend any of these workshops to help you gain confidence and get the most out of your crafting.

Chrissie was brilliant this morning. Listened to where I was up to and then answered loads of questions in a way that I understood, she shared her screen so that I could follow and make notes which I found invaluable. Really easy to talk to and get on with wouldn't hesitate to book another lesson and would highly recommend everyone to book. Great having the one to one! Thanks Chrissie for all your help.

Harriet Walters • Jan 2022

The workshop was brilliant and I’ll definitely be using again if I need help in the future.
Every question I had was answered and demonstrated step by step so I could follow along.
Even kind enough to offer her social handles to ask any other questions I have at a later date.
Thank you so much

Christine, was very good today on the one-to-one Cricut Joy course, she answered all my questions and went through a lot, which will make it easier for me to use the Cricut Joy machine now.
Shame Zoom froze after 45 minutes as we could not continue the course fully.

My first on line lesson. It was great. I was able to ask questions and listen to others. I took notes during the lesson and afterwards made my first design in design space to cut my first vinyl project. I was scared to use my cricut before this

Rose Hensman • Jan 2022

A well presented lesson that

Very friendly , helpful and knowledgeable.
Went a bit fast for me and did not repeat key, crucial points. Bit difficult to concentrate on a machine, an iPad (for zoom) and iPhone (for design space) all at the same time and I would have preferred to have made notes as well.

Suzanne Brammer • Jan 2022

Really enjoyed the class, I learned lots of things and questions I had have been answered. This has been very useful thank you.

Vicki Smith • Jan 2022

Great introduction from Chrissie So easy to follow and all questions answered It would be helpful if you could provide a written step by step guide to save or download to help with further projects Will look at other courses Thank you

Charlie Batterham • Jan 2022

Chrissie was great! I was recently gifted a Cricut and have tried a few bits out, but it was great to be able to ask questions and be shown what to do 1-1. There are only so many YouTube videos you can watch!

I’m now excited to try what I’ve learnt and start some new projects. Would highly recommend.

I didn't have any idea what I would learn from this Cricut Meeting. It was really good & Chrissie was really informative. She helped with questions asked & for a beginner any Questions anyone asked helped myself.
I would recommend anyone to do a Cricut Zoom meeting even just to listen you learn a lot. Thank you very much.

Eileen Thornton • Jan 2022

Nicola Weavers • Jan 2022

Lovely lesson with a very helpful lady thank you. Some really great tips to get me going thanks.

Ana Billenness • Jan 2022

The session was very good, Chrissie was very knowledgeable and passionate about it. I was disappointed the link didn’t work so I only started 15m later

Kate Bolsover • Jan 2022

The workshop was okay, but not sure it really needed a workshop! Once the instructor had told us how to set up the tool and shown us how to use it, then the rest of the session was just following along. Only really needed about 15 minutes and then we were good to go. I think I'd expected that there might be different techniques or something to justify the length of the workshop, but it really is just as straightforward as turn the tool on, wait for it to heat up, then mark the box.

Kate Bolsover • Jan 2022

Fun workshop with lots of different options. One of my small decorations was broken, but there were plenty of others. The workshop leader had lots of suggestions for extra things we could do like adding glitter to the roof of the house or painting the outside of the plastic baubles.

Wendy Veness • Dec 2021

My grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and were thrilled with the box of goodies they received. Unfortunately I couldn't be with them on the day but have seen the cards they made. It kept them quiet for some time Excellent

Nicola Harlow • Dec 2021

My first Hobbycraft online class and I really enjoyed it. The materials provided were great and I am now looking forward to giving it a go for real. Thank you

Julie Salt • Dec 2021

This workshop was really informative. I enjoyed it as it was tailored to exactly what I wanted to know. I learned lots of things about the materials and about certain aspects of Design Space which I wasn’t sure about.
I would highly recommend this workshop for anybody who is starting out with Cricut.

Angela Snape • Dec 2021

This was a Christmas present from my daughter. I am completely new to sewing. This lesson was amazing. The lady, Steph was very friendly and encouraging throughout the hour. She explained all the features of the machine, demonstrated threading the needle, went through some do's and don'ts and carried out some sewing techniques. Steph also introduced me to the hobbycraft website for useful tutorials and another useful resource. I am looking forward to trying out the basics we went through and hopefully will book another lesson in the New year to move on to the next steps. 10/10. Keep up the online learning.

Linda Ethell • Dec 2021

Excellent class, the tutor was knowledgeable, presented well and covered all the basics. She also provided contact details for people to ask any further questions.

Suzanne Holden • Dec 2021

Enjoyed the course. Very informative and the teacher explained well and repeated when needed. Thank you

Sandra Braiden • Dec 2021

Very well presented. Good teaching too. Clear demonstrations . Easy to follow and understand. My son bought me my cri-cut machine but I couldn't use it. Thats why I book a lesson. It's definitely worth getting lessons.

Shana Walker • Dec 2021

Steph was really good at explaining everything and was so calm and patient with us complete beginners! I got really stuck and she was kind enough to spend extra time at the end to help me figure something out, and she fixed my problem! I can't wait for more of these workshops, thank you Steph!

Xanthe Tunley • Dec 2021

Really good class! Got a sewing machine as a present a year ago, tried to teach myself and got no where - very difficult to teach yourself when you don't know basic bobbin loading/troubleshooting. This class will get you completely confident with setting up your machine and how it works. The Sewing Machine Test Drive templates they email are really helpful for practice too. I was only able to print them on paper before the class, but they are available printed on fabric from in store and apparently will be posted in later classes, but the class was too new for my session for this to be sent out. My instructor Steph was also really helpful and friendly! Made everything really clear, and was able to help troubleshoot and answer specific questions of students during class. Clearly very knowledgeable and happy to teach! I'd previous tried to attend an in store class, but with my work schedule could never find a time that worked so having an online evening class was great! Thank you very much Hobbycraft!

Sarita Roberts • Dec 2021

I booked the workshop for my 13 year old daughter who was wanting some help to get started with using her sewing machine. We were initially booked for a face-to-face workshop but decided to do this online due to covid. Stephie, who was running the workshop was great and gave us lots of hints and tips. I truly recommend the workshop. Doing the workshop online had the added benefit of using our own sewing machine.

Session instructor waffled quite a bit at the start of the session which was pointless and took up too much of the session. The rest of the session was very rushed and not much instruction given on technique or best practice.

Really enjoyed the workshop, the trainer demonstrated well and answered any questions.
It does take some practice to get used to using the tool and mine took a while to heat up properly!
During the workshop I didn’t attempt the Christmas Eve box and spent some time practicing on the tags

I enjoy this workshop very much. As a beginner to pyrography I learn a lot. The host was very good and answered questions as we went along and if you were not sure about something she would go back over it again. It was a lot to fit in a hour but I felt it was not rushed.

Hema Patel-Lewis • Dec 2021

6 yr old found it easy to follow and keep up with the class. Very much enjoyed the different cards that were made

Julia Kerr • Dec 2021

Absolutely loved this, will be watching out for more classes with Molly Robbins

She was brilliant with how she went through everything in the box so you knew you had everything and what it was for, and how she explained what she was doing at each step of the cake and why. She made people at ease about fondant skills by saying things like "presents are never wrapped perfectly" and "the sack wants indentations and marks on it to bring it to life". Lastly, she was just so happy and enthusiastic and it put me in a great mood getting to spend 2 hours with her

Nicky Cann • Dec 2021

Jane Davies • Dec 2021

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

The workshop was really good I was thrilled with the result from the cake
If I have one comment to help improve similar classes it would be to have a more complete list of equipment you need before starting as I missed the first 5 mins or so trying to find all the knives, icing sugar and non stick baking mats ( thankfully I had them, others did not) so a better list would have been good
Just one more thing can we have more of these classes

My daughter loved this! It went very fast as there was a lot to cover, and we got behind a little at the end, but it was great to have instructions and suggestions for as many things as possible in the two hours and she spent another hour afterwards trying out different things. It was a great birthday gift and she loved unwrapping all the things in the workshop box.

I really enjoyed the class but it was very quick paced and I fell behind on a few occasions. I would suggest extending the class by half hour. I missed one of the techniques which I found disappointing. Also provide a full list of items needed for the class. There was a mad dash around the kitchen to get the extra tools I needed.

I am sure it’s a lovely workshop, but when your kids are all ready and excited and the meeting host doesn’t turn up, it’s very disappointing!

Let’s hope the host shows up next week and the kids can enjoy as planned

I absolutely love these Hobbycraft online classes! Emma did a great job this afternoon and I had so much fun creating my own hanging decos. The best thing about it is receiving the parcel before the class that contains absolutely everything you need to do the class plus extra for afterwards. Great way to find out if you like something or not. Brilliant concept.

1st time using the glue, cannot make the bottle firmly attached to the base. when holing the bottle in the air, all the content falling out, making a mess. maybe because if my action too slow, then the glue dry already. hope decorate with different materials and content, not just wood

I logged on 10 minutes before the class started and the zoom just said “waiting for host to start meeting” for the full hour. Refreshing my screen and retrying the link didn’t work. I tried using the contact form twice and got no response. I’m hoping to take the class on another day or get a full refund however no one has responded.

It was a relaxing hour to craft with some clay. The artisan was enthusiastic about what he was showing and gave a few tips. The stars turned out cute and there is plenty of clay left for other projects. The included rolling pin was great and made it easy to level the clay quickly.

Tutor showed us what to do but wasn't interactive with us, didn't check we were ready before moving on to next stage, and ended session very quickly, no offer to stay on line for a couple of minutes in case anyone had questions.

Nicky King • Dec 2021

Well presented class, progressed at a good steady speed so able to keep up with the tutor. Very enjoyable and picked up some good tips. The package is great with plenty of materials so will be able to practice and experiment some more!

My daughter aged 4 absolutely loved her card class. The pack was fabulous, lots of crafting materials for further projects. Emma lead the group well and my child enjoyed every minute. She said it was brilliant and she would love to do another one. She was over the moon with her pack of hobbycraft supplies. Thank you for a fun filled afternoon. Would recommend 100%

Lynda Houghton • Dec 2021

Found it a lot harder than i thought. Would have preferred to been at a group in person session as could have been shown where i was going wrong.
Tutor was good but i think the hands on approach is better. Need to keep practicing before attemting the box.

Started out too fast and it was hard to keep up. Not very interactive and didn't give time to answer questions. Even said at one point his stars were rushed. Would have been better with the kit and a set of written instructions. Disappointed; I had hoped for a more interactive, engaging workshop.

Package arrived week before so plenty of time to sort, but it wasn’t taking up space for long.

Very relaxed and chatty atmosphere, really enjoyed will definitely be signing up for more!

Xowie Grist • Dec 2021

Really good fun! Good pace. I got a bit behind at one point when my sugar paste stuck to my worktop but spent some time fiddling and embellishing after the class had ended. I'm very pleased with my little cake. Molly was really fab, her instructions were easy to follow and it seemed everyone had a great time. I know I did! Thank you!

Lynn Lock • Dec 2021

6 ClassBento workshops attended • 4 reviews

Wasn’t as good as some of the other classes I’ve taken a lot of time was spent tracing the stencil all Hobbycraft need to do is add in tracing or carbon to cut this done and not much wood burning. The member of staff didn’t explain well at all I had to ask basic questions and it was hard to do and very hot - your natural default is to want to hold the tool lower down where it’s hot. He didn’t have any proper answers to the questions and as a left handed person I asked for tips as crafting and art can be difficult but he didn’t really reply just making me feel silly for asking the question saying the tool can be used with either hand that’s not what I was asking and in fact figured it for myself to work from right to left on the box means you don’t have so much of a problem. Disappointed and if it was the first class I’d done (it wasn’t) I wouldn’t come back

Firstly - it's too short, it needs another hour added on. The class was marvelous and I like the way that instructions were given, nice and clear. I was sorry that not many people had their video cameras on - it's so sad that they are freighted of appearing 'on screen. Unfortunately, I missed about ten minutes at the start as my PC decided it was going to gain some new info - rotten thing. So the air was black and swear words appeared floating about.
I'd love to have another go with a different theme and - one hour extra!

Sima Bodalikar • Dec 2021

Trainer was nice. I had to rearrange my course a couple of times and they were super helpful and kInd.

Would be a good class for a complete beginner but I’m quite crafty and didn’t learn anything new. Choose which box you want carefully as I didn’t like the contents of my box when it arrived - the figurines don’t match my Christmas decor. I suggest the organisers have a photo of contents next to each description list to avoid disappointment.

Overall a good course for beginners and plenty of materials for the price paid.

Catherine Coon • Dec 2021

Really enjoyed my workshop. I was unable to “make” as I went along as it seems there needs to be more practice using the tool. As I believe it was advertised that this was suitable for beginners I had assumed I would be able to leave with a finished/half finished product. I would be interested in attending a beginners guide for the tool instead.
However the guide on this day was very good, explained everything she was doing in great detail and made sure everyone was happy with what was going on.
I look forward to trying to decorate my own box in my own time.

Charlyne Belgrave • Dec 2021

Great class abs good fun. The instructor was very friendly and bubbly which made the class a pleasure. The workshop and kit were great value, allowing you to do more after the class.

Some parts did few like they were going a bit fast. So I would probably suggest this class be extended to approx. 1hr 15mins / 1hr 30mins. Just so it doesn’t seem like the instructor has to take so quickly to get across the information. Sat with my 10yr old whilst she did the class, helping at some points where it was moving quickly, and to flip the canvas at one point.

Thank you HobbyCraft

Helen Harman • Dec 2021

Really enjoyed bit of technical problems to start with, although we were told to log in 10 min earlier to sort any problems this didn’t happen and course started on designated time, this then delayed people who were having technical problems if we did have the 10min beforehand all problems would have been sorted and we could have started on time. We did finish later so this did make up the time lost. However, I really enjoyed course and person taking very knowledgeable and helpful with questions we were asking. Please keep running candle making course throughout the year as it will make a lovely birthday present for someone. I highly recommend

There was far too much to do in an hour. The teacher acknowledged that from the start but I've basically just been talked at at high speed for an hour and my head is spinning. I've got a couple of decorations I'm fairly happy with but it wasn't exactly a relaxing experience. If the time period and content are fixed then I think the teacher did everything she could to make it accessible but it was a very different experience to the nice chilled fluid art class I did yesterday.

The tutor didn't cover all the knots. Could have done a how to at the start on all the knots and then go through how to decorate the bauble.

Katrina Burnett • Dec 2021

4 ClassBento workshops attended • 4 reviews

We were slightly disappointed, the contents of the kit was great, but the workshop itself wasn’t. The artisan was very knowledgeable but went a little too fast, the bauble that we were trying to do, was quite complex for a beginner and it was made worse at the end she said that there is a simpler version to do and posted the link in the chat. When we asked her to repeat the technique, again she went too fast. We have since made the simpler version bauble and basically taught ourself other techniques. I also felt that it could have been longer, perhaps time was an issue with the artisan. It’s such a shame that we were disappointed as all the other workshops were good. Another point to note, I think if you asked us to cut the yarn to the required length and painted some of the baubles then we would have done this. Cutting the yarn in advance would have certainly helped with the time restraints.

Course was excellent and Isabella gave a clear and concise tutorial with additional material sent via email on request. But my material box was delivered to the wrong address. Neither UPS or Hobbycraft offered any customer support in tracking the mis-delivery or ensuring I had the necessary materials prior to the event. Thankfully it eventually made it to my address the day before but only thanks to an honest neighbour several terraces away. Emails were sent to hobbycraft which went unanswered and were eventually closed (after the course) with no response.

Good fun. Relatively straightforward techniques so it didn't feel rushed in an hour, and I ended up with 2 pictures I'm pretty happy with. Instructor was enthusiastic, clear, and friendly. There are also enough materials provided to make more pieces, and I'll almost certainly top up my kit when I've used it all. Do make sure you have a damp cloth to hand, though - I ended up faffing about with dry tissues to deal with some splashes.

Great packaged materials to complete the session at home. Person running the session was knowledgeable and really helpful if struggling or wanting steps repeated.

Sarah • Dec 2021

A fun session and would recommend it. All the materials are provided in the kit and within the hour you’re able to do two paintings but have materials for more. Clear instructions from the teacher so easy for beginners.

Booked a class for four of us - 3 in same room and one much further away. Tutor did a great job taking us through the processes and engaging with us. Simple enough for non-craft experienced folks and a good way to start trying things out. Also meant we could still chat and enjoy our time together without feeling like we were missing instructions or feeling rushed. A fun way to spend a Sunday lunchtime and introduced a couple of us to the glue gun which I think will be well used in future!

Good workshop and pleased there weren't loads of other attendees. Some parts were not in the box but plenty to work with and some leftover supplies for future arty projects. Great to do with friends or with your children.

Stacey Gardner • Dec 2021

It was a really fun, relaxing experience. The contents of the kit was really good, and included everything we needed (and more!) The tutor was really lovely and made the experience even more enjoyable. Will definitely do more workshops in the future!

Amber Scammell • Dec 2021

Loved the workshop. The artisan was lovely. Would be even better if it was a little bit slower just so that we had a bit more time to work with what we had. Other than that, it was great!

Jasmine Baker-Sones • Dec 2021

We really enjoyed the Christmas card making class! Our 7 year old loved the designs and continued making cards with the things from the craft box for the rest of the morning. We thought it was really good value for money as we got to keep all of the craft supplies so can continue crafting throughout the year! The course leader was great and really easy to follow :)

Excellent class with a tutor I had a previous course with so knew straight away it would be fun. Lots of tips really helpful giving me the confidence to carry on. Hobbycraft courses are absolutely the best way to try new things I’ve had a great time and will be doing more. Excellent value especially as it all comes in a ready to use kit. First class

My daughters (aged 9 & 6) loved this workshop and our class leader was great. It was a shame some of the decorations we were sent didn't really fit in the baubles.

Alison Edmunds • Dec 2021

Lovely workshop with a very bubbly instructor. We had no Zoom experience before today so didn't interact. I think if I do another online workshop, I will watch and maybe take in the instructions better than I did.

Nicola Ross • Dec 2021

Kendal Fish • Dec 2021

I probably was above this level, so it felt slow. Could have done more sewing, quite a lot of showing sewing tools at the end, but not so clear an explanation of how to use them.

Michelle Hills • Dec 2021

Did this with my sister so we ended up having our own WhatsApp video call in the background and it worked brilliantly! Sorry it meant we turned our cameras off and muted ourselves though. Great activity. Thank you.

Helen Barwick • Dec 2021

It was my first online workshop and I had a great time. I am definitely going to look at doing more workshops in the future, and want to learn a new skill next Christmas. The box of resources and workshop were excellent value for money. I made 3 lovely Christmas cards. Chrissie (sorry if I've got your name wrong) was very helpful, answering questions and going over which way to attach the parts on the trickier third card. Thank you so much.

This was a lovely Christmassy way to spend an hour. The end result was better than I expected and the demonstrator was really encouraging and explained well. It was really fast and I wouldn't recommend it for people who want a leisurely activity or a chat while they are doing it but we loved it!

Helen Mason • Dec 2021

The bauble workshop was great. I've seen these products in store but was never really sure how to use them before but do now
My 10 Yr old son, who is never really interested in crafty activities decided he wanted a go, after seeing what I'd done & did a couple himself, a few days later - that's a total win!

However in fairness he did show us on a dried stag how to paint eyes/ears and nose.

Lottie Armitage • Dec 2021

The class was really informative and delivered at a level suitable for a beginner. Unfortunately I struggled to get the online application working initially but managed to catch up on the missed moments. I'd recommend (but ignore the things you require listed in email to bring as it's more informative than practical)

Rebecca Dunn • Dec 2021

Fantastic introduction to sewing machines with detailed guidance on how to thread. Would have liked to have seen other presser foots in action but there are other classes for those

Elena Angelaki-King • Dec 2021

The lesson was very helpful and helped me understand my sewing machine and the things that come with it and i will be booking another lesson to further my knowledge!

Emer Beattie • Dec 2021

The instructor was great - very clear and precise - exactly what I needed!
I would give him 5 stars.
But he went through the various equipment available in the shop for about 15 minutes - he could have just given us a list, as we're not going to need a lot of that yet as beginners. It would have been more helpful if he had taught us for the whole hour.

It was a great class, the led glass decorations turned out lovely. One of my cloches arrived broken but I was able to fully construct one cloche and partly make the other during the workshop. After contacting the team a replacement item was promptly sent out to me. I have booked another class!

Jessica Geddis • Dec 2021

Such an amazing time. I audibly said that was so much fun when it was finished. I would 100% recommend

Suzanne Maccormick • Dec 2021

The artisan was very enthusiastic. I would’ve liked an overview at the beginning of the session explaining each of the steps and how we were going to progress. It also would have been nice to have had some interaction with the other people participants and to see some of the finished products . It was enjoyable but it was very much like watching a YouTube video.

Suzanne White • Dec 2021

Absolutely fantastic help for the mug press. The host was full of knowledge about the machine. I will definitely be booking more classes through hobbycraft.

Rhiannon Shah • Dec 2021

Really good ! Steph was patient and full of good tips - my daughter was home unexpectedly from school which meant i had to juggle a lot at the time. She took the time to look up the manual of my old machine & helped me figure out what was going wrong.

Enjoyed the workshop ! Found it a little hard to keep up but I know we had to fit it all in a hour, got some good ideas and looking forward to creating my own cards.

Monica Blythe • Dec 2021

Enjoyed learning how to structure the wreath, from background of moss and leaves to frill, to cones and onto cinnamon sticks and berries.
Would have preferred to miss the "socialising" bit at the beginning because we didn't start on the wreath until 15 minutes in. Things then got a little hurried when it came to the actual demonstration of the stages.
The tutor was pleasant and kept encouraging us to ask questions, which no-one did - probably because they were too busy trying to keep up. I enjoyed my first attempt and now feel able to try making my own, so that's very positive.
Apologies to the tutor for not getting beyond "Hi" on the chat but I'm a Zoom novice and couldn't get my message out to her about what I most like doing (patchwork and quilting), no matter how often I tried.

Lynnette Windslow • Dec 2021

Very easy to follow.
Appropriate length of time to complete the wreath.
Excellent pace.

I wished I had chosen the classic rather than the frosted wreath as it had more natuaral ingeredients. I didn't realise this when I chose by looking at the pictures.
I succcessfully substituted my own pine cones and leaves.

Lorraine Warren • Dec 2021

The person teaching, was extremely quick with his demonstration. Unless I missed something, he did not explain what decoupage was, or how to do it. He continued to stick paper on, at a quick pace. He didn’t ask how everyone was progressing or if there were any questions.
Great kit provided, more than enough craft supplies.

Judith Flavel • Dec 2021

It wasn't Emma doing the online class as she had been taken ill, but the young lady who filled in for her coped very well depite having to take over at the last minute. Everything was explained clearly. The only thing missing from the tutor's supplies was the cloche itself but that didn't matter too much.

Susan Clark • Dec 2021

This was the first time I had made a wreath and I’m really pleased with the results. The kit was great, everything we needed was included, even a glue gun! And customer services were amazing when I asked to change the date of my workshop, I can’t praise them highly enough. Thanks Hobbycraft for a lovely experience all round.

Bought for my daughter (15 years). She enjoyed it although felt it went a little slowly.

Deborah Harwood • Dec 2021

Very good and enjoyable. Perhaps a good idea to suggest class to read instruction cards, pre cut string and pre paint baubles. I did this but others didn’t which meant delays whilst this was completed instead of getting in with knots.

Hannah Knox • Dec 2021

I've had my cricut explore since last Christmas but haven't felt confident using if until taking this class. Our Artisan made the session fun and informative, I'm confident to try new projects and picked up lots of hints and tips, thankyou! Looking forward to taking another class.

Olga Passmore-Szilagyi • Dec 2021

The explanation was clear and easy to follow. I was expecting a more advanced class with little secrets, including different flowers or herbs.

Caroline Buxton • Dec 2021

I'm getting the cricut Air 2 for Xmas so I went on "beginners" 1 hour course to try to learn,
Where to start.
I learned a few things for when I'm more advanced.
But it certainly isn't a beginners lesson as stated, and the reason I booked on it.
ie: straight out of the box and how to use it.
It should really be named differently.

Enthusiastic and encouraging tutor who did a really good job of getting everyone going. The pack provided had plenty in it and class was an excellent early Christmas present - nice to do something rather than have more stuff.

Laura Mills • Dec 2021

Great instruction, clear explanation and well timed to enable three different designs to be explored. A really enjoyable hour and I really want to thank Hobbycraft for having online courses - I’ve just had a c-section and with the pandemic also it was wonderful to be able to be part of the experience while feeding my baby!

Carole Aquilina • Dec 2021

Enjoyed the class & Isabella was very patient & happy to go over anything if asked. I think that it may have saved time if the string cutting & painting of bauble was done prior to the class, although painting can be done later.
I didn't get the links that were sent to view again so finding it hard to finish the macrame. Would be nice to send link by email for those who aren't tech savvy but I did enjoy it.

Very informative Isabella spoke clearly and gave instructions well. Isabella answered all of my questions and repeat any parts I did not understand I haven’t finished the bubble as yet as I’m dyslexic and it’ll take some time for me to get the hang of it but Isabella has given out so any helpful links etc that I can refer to at my own pace

Jennifer Fiddler • Dec 2021

Brilliant session! Well explained. Good demonstrations that were clearly explained. Lots of supplies mean you can do more baubles in your spare time

Louisa Aldred • Dec 2021

Great course, really informative. Isabella was happy to re show techniques.
Would have been good to have done some preparation in advance eg: cutting of string or painting of baubles to save time on the worskshop which could be noted upon sign up.
Otherwise great value for money!

Maria Trillana • Dec 2021

It was a lovely session. Great to see people who wanted to know macrame. I enjoyed it though lol find it very fiddling holding the baubles and tying knots. I got to practice more and hopefully I will be able to show off my skills.

My daughter really enjoyed this workshop. She's not very talkative in online situations so I was pleased that the host didn't push her to join in. There is plenty of stuff in the kit to make the 4 bats and have paint, glue etc left over for future projects.

This was a great class. The supplies were sent out in good time and all the instructions were very clear about how to join the session.
The workshop itself was good fun and everything was explained so clearly and all questions answered. We were given enough time to practice, but the class moved at a good pace so it went by in a flash! I had never done a hobbycraft workshop before and I will definitely do more in ghe future. Really good fun, really clear and useful teaching and I loved it!

Thank you Emma for a great class that I enjoyed very much. There will be no stopping me now making my own baubles, I’ll need an extra tree for them! I have some other tillable baubles I bought but didn’t use last year but will this year now I’ve learnt what to put in and how to use them. I’ve got some cake decorations that I’d love to give a new life to and now can. Thank you so much!

Emma is an absolutely brilliant teacher, very encouraging and gave lots of helpful tips and techniques throughout. The products included in the pack are of a high quality and I would highly recommend this workshop. Thanks to Emma I feel much more likely to practice my brush lettering and I loved how she welcomed feedback from left handers like me. I feel I've had a real treat today, Thank You Emma and Hobbycraft xxx

Lizzie Turner • Dec 2021

Lady was very nice and explained everything well. Kit had everything needed and was of good quality. Was enough to do a couple with my son after the class too which was great, Would definitely recommend!

Victoria Whyte • Dec 2021

Emma was great, very likeable and related well to us participants. The Craft Box supplied is of lovely quality. It was a lot to cover in only one hour and I didn’t manage to create the last card - due in part to my poor internet signal. Overall though I really enjoyed it, learned some new techniques and would definitely recommend it. I’m attaching a pic of the cards I put together during the workshop. When I got “left behind” on the last card, I created another card combining some of the techniques Emma had shown us, as they were simple but effective. Emma’s follow up email was also very helpful. I am definitely interested in doing similar workshops on other themes, such as birthdays.

Sheryl Buckland • Dec 2021

A really interesting workshop about using fluid pouring paint to create works of art. The tutor was friendly and welcoming and she gave clear instructions. We were encouraged to ask questions and to participate. It was an enjoyable - if extremely messy - hour!

Heather Buchan • Dec 2021

I enjoyed the class, was good to be able to work along with class. Was some good hints and tips. An hour was not long enough to go through full alphabet, which is understandable, so was good to have chance to write a word, joined up. I just need to keep practicing.

A fun online class to make some cute Christmas decorations. It was very enjoyable, run well via Zoom with good camera angle to see what the artisan was doing. Clear explanations of the process. I had time to complete 4 decorations in the hour. Enjoyed it so much I booked another class.

Eileen Ross • Dec 2021

Emma was excellent, showed how to properly use all the items and place them in the baubles. Giving instructions and hints and tips.
I had attended the in-store workshop in Glasgow which was rubbish the teacher just sat giving no instruction or help. A waste of money. That’s why I decided to re book glad I did albeit I had to pay twice.

This was a very enjoyable course with a great instructor. The steps were clearly explained with plenty of time for me to follow everything. The instructor, Paula, was very friendly and easy to talk to and ask questions of. I look forward to making more soap and will be looking to book other courses now. The kit arrived in plenty of time and was well packed with more items than I expected. Great value even though I booked it before the reductions in price.

Tina Knights • Dec 2021

There was not enough time to complete a while bauble and the time limit made things more stressful than enjoyable.
Also my kit didn’t include the printed instructions, which didn’t help.
I have made further baubles at my own pace and enjoyed this, so it’s taught me a new skill. I had some basic knowledge in the beginning, otherwise I feel it would have been impossible.
Instructor was lovely and repeated things when asked and stayed longer in line to help those struggling.
Just don’t think online is the way for me, I had mic issues also on my end.

Tamsyn Moreton-Trayler • Dec 2021

Really loved learning to make these cloches. I did end up spending hours after the class finis hi by off the second one - determined to make it my own, but was really glad that Emma was so easily to understand, giving clear instructions, so that I made a project I’m extremely proud of. My husband joined me on this and his feedback is very positive because of all the hints and tips provided that were helpful. The kits were also very generous in what was provided and we are now deciding how we want to make more designs with the remaining moss, artificial snow and paint. The brushes provided seemed to be of good quality and I feel that the whole experience was both enjoyable and very good value for money.

The demonstrator was good. He didn’t go to fast. There were a few times when I wasn’t sure what he was doing. There seemed to be a lot of drawing and some writing which I’m not very good at. The pens are brilliant but I thought we would use other embellishments.

Juliet Kent • Dec 2021

1 hour was not long enough. 1.5 hr wd b better. Especially for beginners. The last knots were very rushed.
The instructions in box didn’t always match what shown.
Preparing strings pre cut instead doing in tutorial wd also been good idea
The kit that came was very good. I am very pleased with it
Isabel has emailed links so that is helpful

Laurie Eagling • Dec 2021

The presenter was lovely and happy to answer our questions. My son very much enjoyed making the fillable baubles.

Would have been helpful to know the house and church didn't fit the small round baubles before we started, as son had already filled the bigger jars etc with other ornaments eg penguin, and we were then left with no enough ornaments for smaller items. Got round it by using old Xmas cake decorations in small balls, and using old gravy glass jars for house & church.

Definitely booking another class.

Jacqueline Haworth • Dec 2021

Isabella was clearly very knowledgeable and lovely to see her designs. She explained it well and repeated things for those who struggled or were interrupted. I felt like the workshop needed to be a bit longer as it felt a little pressured to fit everything in. I also think some tips would be helpful e.g. I used a bulldog clip to keep my central threads together in the square know so I didn’t get confused and make a mistake.

Jane Baker • Dec 2021

Class was lots of fun! The materials were good quality, lovely ceramic baubles and a nice warm gold paint. Isabella was very clear with her instructions and kept up a good pace but made sure people weren’t left behind. It would be nice if the class was slightly longer, maybe even 15 more minutes as no one finished their bauble in the class and only had the last knot demonstrated but no chance to practice it. Otherwise it was great fun and I’m looking forward to signing up learn other crafts!

Sharon Corcoran • Dec 2021

More time would have been helpful. Isabella was clear and supportive with the class, she is very knowledgeable.

Miss Freeman • Dec 2021

Workshop was ok would of been better if I was sent the paint brushes that the coach said I should have received

Holly French • Dec 2021

The workshop was a brief introduction to macrame. Isabella was lovely and did the best she could but an hour just wasnt long enough really. Though the materials supplied and tuition in the workshop means I can now practice and create in my own time. It maybe would have been good to know to prepare the baubles beforehand (painting them) and even cutting lengths of the string as these would have saved time.
That being said I would consider further classes again

Nadia Fares • Dec 2021

Friendly and informative instructor. Emma had lots of creative ideas to add to our Christmas Cloche designs. She managed to get through all the techniques and both cloches in the hour without us feeling rushed. Christmas has begun!

She explained and helped answer questions about strokes and styles as well as sent links for learning at our own pace. I've already booked another session as this has been a very welcome craft to discover. Thanks Emma

Anita Ahia • Dec 2021

Chrissie was amazing she is so relatable, she is very patient and kind she was able to awnser every question I threw her way she never made me feel uneasy and gave me so many tips and support in starting my projects, she's an absolute asset to hobbycraft, look forward to another class!

Karin Engele • Dec 2021

Isabella our tutor was lovely and really knew her stuff, my problem with the course as a total beginner it went too fast, I couldn’t keep up which was a shame as the finished baubles looked amazing. I have the course notes and Isabella kindly emailed us pictures to help I will persevere in having a go. I’m pleased I tried but this course needs to be longer and probably done in person May help.

Janet Carman • Dec 2021

Hannah gave an excellent tutorial with some good information on the best techniques. Reassuring us that it would become more natural the more we practised.

Emily Willcock • Dec 2021

Really lovely instructor and excellent pack of equipment. Class was well planned and instructions were clear. Only downside was that it went too quickly, it has taken me about another hour to finish my bauble and would have helped to be told we would need to paint our baubles before the class started. Written instructions are very good and will mean I can easily recreate many more baubles!

Jayne Douglas • Dec 2021

Very pleasant tutor but I found the course a bit too basic. I didn’t think we needed to see every individual letter as many components are the same.
I would have preferred more emphasis on decorating the ceramic shapes
Having said that it’s ideal for an absolute beginner. Easy to follow and everything is provided.

I really enjoyed the class. It was not too difficult and the right amount of time was allocated to each stage of the project for me to keep up. There were a few technical difficulties at the beginning which were not the fault of the teacher but of other customers struggling to use Zoom

Chrissie was friendly and helpful, answering all our questions. You could see her enthusiasm for all things Cricut and she made me feel excited (rather than nervous) about starting to use my mug press. After watching her demonstration I bought myself a Cricut Joy, so I can get the most out of my mug press. This class was well worth the money and I’d recommend it to anyone new to using the Cricut mug press.

Sandra Umfreville • Dec 2021

This was my first attempt at macrame and it was an absolute joy. The instructor was clear, patient and very engaging. I am sure I will continue my macrame journey thanks to hobby craft.

Denise Woodhouse • Dec 2021

Couldn't see all as I was late coming due to family emergency. Luckily have done before so have completed my first one. It would be hard if you never saw this done before

The class was ok but I felt that I didn't learn as much as I had hoped. We only really went through the lettering on the worksheets and once I had the instructions on when to make a letter thinner or thicker then I could have done this by myself at home. I had hoped to be a bit more proficient at the brush lettering at the end but wasn't really which is a real shame. I'm not sure that I would do this again.

Very enjoyable class

Class was interactive

It would have been good to use the notebook/ tags as we didn't get onto that

This was an excellent workshop, the kit that was sent was of superb quality and contained everything needed not only for the workshop but for several projects beyond. Louise, the Artisan was very clear in her instructions and was able to answer all our questions during the hour long workshop in which we are able to complete two projects.

This workshop is a great introduction to Fluid Art or acrylic pouring as it is sometimes called. It is very therapeutic, promotes mindfulness and a lovely way to spend a cold eintry afternoon. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed. Wish it was longer as 1 hour wasn't enough time to learn. Would have liked to see the samples beforehand of different techniques. Personally I should have watched before attempting the large frame as my first piece but thought that this was just the format of the workshop.

Kaye Chapman • Nov 2021

Enjoyed learning a new skill. Look forward to receiving the information from Emma that she said she would email in due course.

Zoe Westbury • Nov 2021

Really enjoyed online class. I bought a couple of extra so my daughter and I could make 2 each.
Emma demonstrated very well, working at a good pace.
I think the only thing that eould be helpful, would be an option to not include the glue gun, as I already have one.
Overall, great fun, easy to git in as it was only an hour long and I would definitely make more

Alyson Jones • Nov 2021

Super fun and really well lead. I’ll definitely come back for another workshop.
Thank you.

I loved the class and the teacher was very patient. I had never don macrame before so it was a little fast for me to complete a bauble in an hour. The teacher went over the knots many time so we all knew what we were doing and last night I completed my first bauble, thankyou

Elizabeth Jackson • Nov 2021

My daughter (4) and I had a great time on this workshop. The box provided had lots of lovely supplies which gave us plenty of choice for making our baubles. My daughter loved choosing what to put in each one.
The instructions were clear and helpful and the workshop leader was very friendly. We are delighted with our finished decorations and my daughter is so proud of the fact that she made them herself.

The call was set up really quickly and I reciebed my kit on a timely manner. Upon starting this course I realised the I did not have some of the same materials as the instructor. Shortly into the activity I noticed that the moss I had been sent was mostly twigs and all dried out- meaning I was not able to achieve what the instructor was demonstrating on my own wreath. I struggled to keep up with the course pace, most question that were asked in the course, by other participants, were redirected to talking to customer services. I was little disappointed after the amount I paid and the idea of looking forward to making a wreath.

Katie Beresford • Nov 2021

Karen Lloyd • Nov 2021

Had a great one to one session learning about the Cricut Maker machine with Vanessa. Oh my! so many possibilities! Not enough hours in my day to have a go at them all! Vanessa was very clear in explaining how the machine worked, she made sure the session was tailored to my unusual request of wanting to cut mountboard. Inevitably we ventured onto other materials and she showed this complete beginner what kind of a world awaits anyone who invests in a Cricut machine! I could cut and mark all the pieces for my Millefiori patchwork, I could make personalised chipboard statement gifts, I could cut all my applique pieces accurately and reproducibly as well as my initial thought of cutting mountboard for my fabric covered boxes. Thank you for a great session.

Thought there was loads of content and liked the pack. Would have preferred a longer session or would really like the recording of the session so can go back and watch at a slower pace.

Mrs Williams • Nov 2021

Demonstrator unprepared when starting class as didn't have scissors so had to go and get some plus put the light on so we could see his demonstration. I feel the last part of the demonstration was hurried as time was running out and therefore how to make the bow was not shown plus felt the bits provided to stick onto the wreath were poor for the size of the wreath provided and therefore looks sparse leaving me feeling disheartened of the end product. I was bought this workshop as a birthday present so it would of been nice to feel pleased with the end result and not feel i had to spend more money to fill it out.

Karen Makin • Nov 2021

Had a lovely time, very informative and relaxing I am new to painting, the young lady made me feel very comfortable and explained everything extremely well. I am however disappointed that I did not have all the numbers in my pack. I am missing 3 x 1 , 1 x 2 and a number 9 quite a lot. Would it be at all possible to send them to me so I can finish my house please. Many Thanks Karen xxx

Grace Darling • Nov 2021

Lovely workshop, very friendly instructor and great kit! Thank you so much! Beautiful end result

Janice Hobbs • Nov 2021

I enjoyed the workshop, but I did find the instructor spoke quite quickly and sometimes it was hard to keep up. I know there was quite a lot to get through in an hour but I think if we had been sent information about preparing before hand, for things such as cutting the strips of paper, it would have helped.

Helen Kirkwood • Nov 2021

Easy to use zoom for the first time, prompt start. Friendly interaction. Clear instructions giving time for the slowest workers. Practice makes perfect! Would recommend to others

Annetta Kerley • Nov 2021

The tutor was very patient and was happy to answer any questions or help with difficulties. I myself had never tried Macrame it was a Christmas gift as I like arts and crafts so this was an ideal thing for me. Would I recommend anyone to take the workshop ? Yes of course I would .

Claire Grace • Nov 2021

Not impressed and wouldn’t do it again. The lady was lovely but the tech for doing this wasn’t great and not explained well.
Was late joining the class after having to call and request my zoom log in that hadn’t been sent to me. Then was behind and got list fast. Gave up after half an hour as was so far behind it was pointless. A shambles snd won’t be doing anymore of these.

Suzanne Carter • Nov 2021

Rugile was very good and motivational, the quality of the products we received were really good too. It would have been nice to have a little more time to go over joining words and to practice, but as we only had an hour I appreciate that it wasn't really possible. Rugile was very happy to go back over anything we asked her to and overall it was a very enjoyable session and I would recommend it for anyone interested in learning this

Sarah Schwarz • Nov 2021

The actual session was absolutely brilliant. Becki was great, very clear at explaining everything, and kept checking in to make sure we were ok. The 5 star rating is for Becki - she's absolutely brilliant.

My only criticism is of Hobbycraft themselves, who didn't include two items in the box which were needed for the workshop. I managed to work around it, but other people had more critical items missing which impacted their ability to be able to take part in the workshop. If Hobbycraft are going to send out these kits then they need to do so much further in advance of the session so we can make sure we have all of the items we need, and they need to work harder to make sure everything is included!

Zoe Dixon • Nov 2021

Thank you Isabella and good to e-meet all who joined.

This was a very well-run and well-paced course and Isabella was able to accommodate both fast and slow learners (I was somewhere in between, haha!). Isabella is engaging and her tutorial was really clear. She gave links to further materials/instructions in the chat.

My box of materials from Hobbycraft arrived in good time with all materials and instructions on quality paper (I would suggest that instructions are printed double-sided rather than single).

There were a few technical hitches at the beginning with distorted sound and with attendees not being able to see the tutor if others spoke but these issues were resolved in reasonable time. So another improvement: it might be good in future to provide online attendees with a few basic advance instructions on use of Zoom and aspects like how to pin the view of the tutor when using Zoom on different devices so that everyone can see the tutorial even when someone speaks (e.g. where to find views, how to pin etc). Otherwise this can eat into the tutor/student learning time - thank you!

Tracy Bale • Nov 2021

The pace was just right and she explained everything really well. The camera also made the demonstration really easy to see - far easier than some face to face classes I have done. The kit was also good quality and arrived in good time with everything I needed.

My 8 year old walked in just as I was finishing and said “wow Mum, that’s amazing!” So he was obviously impressed!

Very easy and caters for all abilities. The most complicated part of the class would be deciding which object to use and what to pair them with. Then making sure sure you have the correct amount of artificial snow in each ornament to complete the look that you desire!

It's really down to you and your imagination/artistic talent.

Different ideas for Christmas cards. The tutor was very professional and it came across that she was very skilled.

However as a beginner I found this class was very rushed. In the space of one hour we made three different cards. The tutor herself was aware that we did not have much time and probably would not finish the cards in the allocated time.

I think this class would benefit from being allocated a longer slot or making one card whilst showing an array of ideas and skills.

Edith Low • Nov 2021

Shirley Webster • Nov 2021

A little fast for beginners. Understand that you need to finish intime maybe do it a little longer. No time to ask questions as it moved along quite quickly
Very happy positive responses from the trainer. I struggled to get the sound on initially could probably recommend glue gloves or finger projectors.

Louise Foote • Nov 2021

Great class, Becki was amazing.

Only doing 4 stars as hobbycraft sent instructions for macrame rather to an brush lettering. When I contacted them I was told that I had everything in the box as the practice sheets for brush lettering weren’t listed on the contents.

Becki sorted this issue and emailed everyone the templates and then extended the class by the amount of time we lost with the faff of getting everyone sorted out.

Clare Anderson • Nov 2021

I booked the class for myself and 3 friends. None of us (or other participants) received our brush lettering templates which meant we did not have all the necessary tools to complete the class. Very frustrating and disappointing considering money spent and the anticipation of learning a new craft. I have booked several classes work hobby craft and this is very disappointing. Having said all that Becki Clark was fantastic and make the class as best as she could without our templates

Aimee Mackie • Nov 2021

Enjoyed making my wreath tonight. Really liked that the workshop was unique too. It wasn't just a copy of the picture provided when I booked showed there was much more you could do with your own wreath. I used foliage from the garden. Each of us turned out a completely different result.

Me and my little girl have done 2 online hobbycraft workshops now, and both have been brilliant. This week we did Christmas bauble making. It was really fun and calm. The presenter gave clear instructions and was very friendly. We’re really pleased with the baubles we’ve made so far. Hobbycraft sent us everything we needed to make the baubles, and this all arrived safely with no breakages. We can’t wait to sign up to our next online workshop! Thank you Hobbycraft!

Claire Foster • Nov 2021

A really enjoyable hour. Rugile was great, very friendly and patient. Although I'm a complete beginner with brush lettering, covering the letters at the start and seeing the instructor write them really helped. Then it was onto the fun part of ceramics! There were lots of ideas and options for designs, plenty of tips and informative advice. Overall, the workshop built my confidence and I came away with a finished ceramic that I'm pleased with.

Hi. I thought that the lady holding the workshop was lovely and answered my questions very promptly. My disappointment was my box compared to the one she demonstrated. Mine contained just leaves and white berries whereas she had leaves cones white and red berries and her wreath was so much fuller than mine. Really disappointed

Margaret Welch • Nov 2021

I along with the rest of the group was disappointed to find that we hadn't received the template for the lettering. Becki was excellent and sent a copy of the template to our email. I was doing the lettering with my daughter who had also enrolled to do the workshop and she was able to bring the template up on her phone. If I was on my own I don't know if I could have done this. The template is a very important part of the workshop. I can't fault Becki as she showed us everything and if there were any questions she answered them very well.

Angela Beech • Nov 2021

Christine is a real asset to Hobbycraft. She was very happy to answer the most stupidest of questions and covered a lot of helpful tips in the hour that we were with her. As a result, I went and ordered a load of accessories for my Cricut machine and hope to put them to good use over the next few weeks, if not years. Intend to book up some more sessions in the future as I found it very helpful.

Helen Curtis • Nov 2021

Becki did a brilliant job so 5 stars to her but hobbycraft sent the wrong instructions with the kit.
I have the macrame instructions not the brush lettering. 2 stars for hobbycraft

Wendy Crowson • Nov 2021

I enjoyed the class, we had a hitch at first with the internet, but once we got going all was good. I just needed someone to make sense of the 'design space' so that I could get started and overall the lesson did this. Hoping that I will be able to get going now and start using my Maker for lots of projects.

Shelley Taylor • Nov 2021

Class itself was enjoyable and Becki was so lovely but the fact we didn’t have quite an important part of the kit was so disappointing. It also took away from the class itself as we had to organise getting the missing sheets at least on our screen which took up a bit of the class. Shame because apart from that it was good.

Nicola McHugh • Nov 2021

A lot crammed into the hour so it was a bit fast paced but there was a good supply of extra ornaments to practice on after the workshop was over, I would definitely recommend this one.

Debbie Callway • Nov 2021

Good step by step. Tutor moves between design space and the machine so you can see each action in progress. I have never used my heat press so now feel really confident in doing so. I would recommend this course as you can see both the pens and the ink transfer sheets in use. Tutor was really helpful answering lots of questions and giving examples.
My 3rd Cricut course with 2 more to go, always great value.

Becki was very good bearing in mind the bad start. It transpires that all of us got sent the Macrame Bauble Pattern and not the brush lettering guide sheets! I believe Becki has sent you an email and has asked for these to be sent to us. This is the second time I have had a problem when booking a Hobbycraft course.

Leah Mason • Nov 2021

Cant tell you how much I enjoyed this class! Emma our tutor was lovely and gave us a lot of brilliant tips from her own experience of learning the craft which was really useful not mention comforting when the lettering didn't come out as perfect as hers. Would 1000% recommend this workshop if you've never done anything like this before. Cant wait to book my next one, I certainly hope its as good as this.

Louise Vowell • Nov 2021

Great hour spent trying to master brush lettering
I was glad to be muted and had my camera off No pressure to share any of my work /efforts publicly.

Hi, this was not the class I thought it was. I was looking for an introduction to a Cricut machine and what it could do, probably my fault for not reading the course name correctly. I left early as it wasn't what I had hoped I did think that the presentation could do with some more work.

Started off well going through everything in the box but the course was quite boring. Not interactive - lots of silence while the Artisan was doing things. Would have been more helpful to go through other different designs, not doing each one twice.
I’ve done other Hobbycraft online workshops which were much better.

Cheryl Titmus • Nov 2021

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

Chrissie had a lot of knowledge and was able to help me with all the questions I had. She showed me how to use the design space effectively. We looked at curved lettering, weld, attach, flatten, slice, contour as well as using the foiling tool and looking at other questions about Cricut I had. It has been well worth the money for this class and would highly recommend.

Cath McGill • Nov 2021

Michelle Grady • Nov 2021

I loved this class! I've never tried brush lettering before but Becki broke the technique down into manageable steps which made it really easy to learn. With the pens, baubles and paint included, it was great value as well. Can't wait to use brush lettering on all my Christmas cards this year!

Anita Bayliss • Nov 2021

Sophie Weller • Nov 2021

I enjoyed the workshop although I would have liked to have spent more time on the decorations - only about 10 mins at the end. I also would have liked to have been sent the contents of the box as described - with baubles as well as stars. I was told they would be sent out to me and case closed, but nothing arrived. A recording would have also been helpful as I was interrupted by a phone call and missed the last part of the session.

While I am 100% a complete amateur (today was my first try at card making ever) I managed to follow along and produce all the cards demonstrated. I now have lots of ideas!

The quality of the art/craft supplies were fabulous. Becki was a lovely tutor and was very enthusiastic about her craft. Becki gave us ideas on how to rectify any 'mistakes' we think we might have made in our designs. She also showed us how to draw patterns to accent our work. A lovely way to spend an hour. Thank you Becki. Would throughly recommend these online workshops.

The hour flew by, thank you.

The person was to quick a spoke to much for wreath making workshop so it was ok

Emma Pink • Nov 2021

The workshop was fab and the instructor was so lovely, which made it even better. The kits come with so much stuff in them too and I am so happy with my wreath!

Natalie Samuel • Nov 2021

I enjoyed the workshop, and it has inspired me to create my own. Didn’t think there was a need to go through the box of resources, took 5 mins off the workshop. Could have simply referred to the checklist. Also instead of doing 2 crackers the same, time could have been spent showing designs for 6 crackers. However, resources are of a good standard and the overhead camera allowed a clear view.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish, the kit is good value but even better was the host Becky Clark, lovely lady who was patient, gave good clear instructions, and lots of hint and tips, highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to take up brush lettering, we could ask as many questions as we wanted, a joy to part of. thanks Becky xxxxx

Claire Pink • Nov 2021

It was good and the instructor was clear and went back over things where necessary. However in general needed more time to do it as worked at a much slower pace.

This was a great class.
It was a fun activity and worked really well with our group of 4.
Emma's demonstrations were clear, and instructions were very easy to follow.
The finishes products were lovely to keep or to give away as gifts.
I would definitely consider doing another hobbycraft class.

This workshop was very good. Calm. Well planned and clearly designed for people to learn enjoy and progress with the experience of brush lettering. Hopefully the replacement items will arrive one day and then I might be able to use what I learnt as all the others were able to make their decorations. I sat doing it on plain paper instead of the decorations I have paid for. Damaged items sent out with dirty markings all over them. Hopefully it will be sorted as promised. Thanks again to the lady running this today. Hopefully the standard will be seen in other things too as definitely the best one so far! Thanks. Would have said great if I could have done the actual thing I had paid to do!

It’s been a while since I made cards so this helped me get back in to the swing of things. 3 lovely cards achieved.

Theresa Wood • Nov 2021

Really enjoyed it, thank you! It was easy to follow and nice to be at home with family at the same time. The boxes were also lovely with plenty to glue onto the wreath.

Stephanie Krahn • Nov 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Rugile explained everything well and was very friendly. She was always offering to answer any questions and was constantly encouraging the group, despite the fact she couldn't see us! It also takes most of the lesson to do three coats of white so maybe you should advise doing that before or at least 2 coats so there is a chance you can follow the lesson.
My other disappointed was the colours provided for the blue advent are nothing like the ones in the picture and I will have to buy a lighter blue as the pearl one is too dark.

Catrin Watts-Allen • Nov 2021

What an amazing class. First time doing Card Making and it was so straightforward and easy to follow. The tutor was good and made sure that we understood what we needed to do. Only bad thing was it was only an hour long Could have carried on for another hour.
Thank you Hobbycraft for this offering, will certainly look to do more of these workshops.

Sarah Richardson-Cornish • Nov 2021

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

Some lovely ideas but no opportunity to put them into practice on the cards - the movement through them was too fast! It was great to be informed of the paint pen uses but without the templates if you’re not artistically skilled this felt like a missed opportunity!

Emma Green • Nov 2021

Mum and I really enjoyed the whole thing. Tutor Emma explained things clearly, didn’t rush, took us through each stage step by step and offered ideas to enhance the cloches even further. She was encouraging, creative and showed us how to do things differently with the paint. The materials were good quality and plenty of them! Fantastic. Thank you.

Jo Fowler • Nov 2021

This was a great class, well explained and great to have the tips which you wouldn’t know unless you joined a class. My 7 year old helped me and she loved it too.

Magda Furman • Nov 2021

This was a great workshop! I enjoyed it so much! definitely recommending it. I can't wait to do another one soon!

Josephine Heaney • Nov 2021

Really enjoyable class. We got lots of tips on how to get the best out of the materials and some other ideas for alternative looks and adaptations we could try ourselves.
The only downside of these classes is if items are not included - I did not receive a glue gun in my pack which is essential in order to participate. Luckily I found an old one that I had but otherwise it would have been really disappointing. Also, one of my resin ornaments was broken, as the items were well packaged, I can only assume it was already broken when packaged.
I would definitely recommend the class but would advise to check the contents of your pack as soon as you receive it!

Sue Coackley • Nov 2021

Ok, but way too fast . Hard to keep up and no time to practise.
Disappointed but at least got some practice sheets

Elaine Gordon • Nov 2021

This seems very similar to a handwriting scheme that I used to teach called 'Nelson handwriting'. The hobbycraft tutor stated that some of these letters do not join so you created joins to allow them to join; however if the letters were formed correctly as I taught for over twenty years some of these letters do naturally join as was shown in the 'Nelson cursive handwriting scheme.'

I do think the Hobbycraft tutor was aware of her audience and kept her eye on the chat board whilst teaching which was very good practice. Her pace was a little quick for beginners but considering she didn't know her audience this was fine as she mentioned several times she was more than happy to repeat anything.

It maybe beneficial to the company to run Christmas art drawing classes; if this isn't something that is not already offered. A customer asked for ideas after the tutor shared ideas for notebook decoration.

The workshop was really enjoyable and the presenter had lots of tips and a wonderful energy, especially for a Sunday morning! Thank you! I really enjoyed it but have already spent several hours on it since and have not finished yet! (To be fair, I decided to paint the insides of each box and the backs and sides of the doors) nevertheless, it is impossible to finish the project in the time, which is not made clear on the booking, but I fully expected. It would be helpful to have more time in the workshop and a clear expectation of how long the project would take. Also, the white paint takes many coats to look solid and my friend and I ordered the same kits but mine had pearl paints and hers matt which we were not expecting!

I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning! The box of goodies was delivered in plenty of time and everything was beautifully wrapped so it would make a perfect gift for someone. Our host was friendly, kind and knowledgeable. It wasn’t possible to complete the whole project during the time allotted on the zoom workshop so we will enjoy continuing to work on it over the next few days.

Violet Stafford • Nov 2021

My granddaughters found it hard to follow as the wreath being made was different to the picture on their box.

It was great fun! I’ve made a big mess, but a happy creative mess and I’m happy with the end result.

Plus she called us “gorgeous people” so that made me feel happy… even with my camera off! :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed the session and would definitely recommend it to others! Thank you!

End joined the class. First time I've ever done one. Lady was very clear and explained well. A slightly easy style of font would have been better. Some of the letter didn't look like they should (R,F for example) and for a beginners class this made it a little harder to get the flow right. But over all really enjoyed it and will defo be looking for another.

She’d researched my areas of interest in advance and was able to help with things that I wasn’t sure there was an answer to after my trawl through the internet and YouTube. So glad I did the workshop, I learned more than I thought I would. Hobbycraft have a gem in Christie.

It was very stressful getting my kit delivered, in fact I only got it an hour before the class was due to begin. I contacted customer services online & via phone a few times leading up to the class - only one person on the phone was kind enough to sort some options for me, another person said there wasn’t anything he could do which made things very stressful. When I did get my kit I had to fix the doors a little as the metal holding the doors in place had come out. The class was good, the instructor was very nice & kept saying we could do our own version with plenty of options & do it at your own pace. I really liked the painting more than I thought, and I still have bits to finish on it so definitely getting my moneys worth. Excited to finish it & fill it with advent chocolates now.

The only downside was that the camera could not pick up the presenter's actual sewing on his machine and whilst he explained everything that he was doing, it would have been helpful to actually see it being done.

Was so good to be able to watch and learn how to do the fillable baubles, due to illness I wasn’t able to craft along but I’m looking forward to making them ready for Christmas

Sue Canavan • Nov 2021

Loved the course with Chrissie,
Everything explained very well for a beginner of crafting with the mug press.
Can’t wait to have a go now. Thank you Chrissie.

Emma was fantastic, I really enjoyed this workshop. The tutor inspired me to create some extra special cards. The kits are very open ended, this was my second time doing the class using a different colour variant. Thank you for a lovely hour of crafting. I have recommended the classes to my friends.

Jacqueline Brimson • Nov 2021

Very informative workshop. Lots of useful hints and tips. A definite must if you have or are thinking of getting a Mug Press. Thank you :)

Jenny Warwick • Nov 2021

Kit was well stocked the instructions very clear and well presented and easy to follow! Thank you

Angela Biley • Nov 2021

The workshop was great, the instructor was easy to follow and friendly.
There could have been a few more bits in the box or a suggestion to purchase some extra bits.

Thank you for organising these events, it’s lovely and great to be crafting x

I enjoyed the class. Excellent for learning a basic foundation to then try to decorate your decorations afterwards. Much harder than it looks and takes practice. Kit was excellent and tutor very informative and answered questions. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon.

Absolutely fantastic.loved the zoom class .Everything explained really well.

Found it quite tricky but practice makes perfect ( well passable lol)
My 11 year old son shared kit with me and he really enjoyed it too. In fact he picked it up easier than. Might because he does cursive writing at school

The pack posted out was really good value, beautifully packaged

From start to finish, Chrissie had the right balance of being professional yet approachable and friendly. She knew I was nervous to use infusible ink, but kept reassuring me at every stage. I was very impressed with her knowledge of design space, cricut materials, the heat guide and the infusible ink sheets. Chrissie went above and beyond to answer my questions, help me with my project and ensure I enjoyed the workshop too. Chrissie was paitient, never made me feel rushed and seemed genuinely excited to see the finished product. I would definitely recommend these 1:1 workshops if you want a helping hand with a specific project, if you want specific questions answered, or if you prefer learning 1:1. I will definitely be booking another session with Chrissie when I come across something new to try or if I'm finding something difficult to grasp within the cricut world. I now feel more confident to have a go at using infusible ink sheets on my own. Thank you so much Chrissie for helping me create a wonderful gift, for expanding my knowledge and making me laugh along the way!

Chrissie was very enthusiatic and has sold me on the idea of branching out into vinyl. Like everything it is easy when you know how. She explained the use of different mats and different transfer tape. She also explained about all the different types of vinyle so that I now feel confident about going into the store to buy the products.

Nicola Green • Nov 2021

This was not a tutorial it was not interactive in any way. You may as well just have played a video. I had questions to ask, but couldn’t and when things went wrong there was no one to tell me how to put it right. It’s a shame as the concept was good. Not worth the money.

Julie Madden • Nov 2021

It was full of great painting tips which was great for me as I have never painted before.
The presenter was great, very friendly

Sallyann Ssyer • Nov 2021

This was my first workshop and I really enjoyed it, the artisan was friendly, bubbly and made sure everyone was included and was able to keep up. My one and only criticism (it may be my fault) I was trying to watch intently to see how she was folding a bow when another member of the group asked something which then made the camera switch to that person. This certainly hasn’t put me off of booking another or recommending it to someone else. Thank you!

Susan Wikinson • Nov 2021

A very enjoyable class, with a nice cheerful encouraging tutor.
The contents of the kit were exactly right.
I was a bit slow, never having used a glue gun before, so I took about an extra 20 minutes, but I had no problem in finishing off the wreath, which is now on my front door.

Alison Bradley • Nov 2021

First class artisan always ready to answer questions. Took advice and used my creativity to make unique. Slow to paint but I give it another 2 coats at least

Julie Scott • Nov 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

This was not a cheap purchase and was really looking forward to, taking part in the course, however I was extremely disappointed, the kit that most of us received was nothing near as nice as the one being demonstrated in the course which was a shame. The person doing the online event was pleasant and kept the course going but there was no interaction with anyone on the course, no asking if we had any questions at the end, to,be honest just with the picture on my box I could have done the wreath without any help, or even watching the zoom meeting, it all felt like a big let down, introductions to everyone on the course would’ve been nice if participants wanted to, just no real enthusiasm, plenty of warnings regarding hot glue guns was a positive, as for my wreath I will have to buy more items to make it look nice. Sorry but not good disappointing all round

Amanda Artis • Nov 2021

Had the most amazing time with Beth. As probably the worlds most nervous crafter I felt totally at ease.

Kate Atherton • Nov 2021

She was friendly and reminded us that we could ask questions as we went along. The video to her wreath was good. Unfortunately the frosted variant didn’t contain many different types of decorations. I had wanted the other kit but it had sold out.

The lady was lovely but it was difficult to see what she was doing on her iPad. I don't have a cricut yet and for me she dived into the deep end. I think you need to market this class differently, definitely not for someone who is interested in buying a cricut.
I am sorry to say I did not get much out of this class. It would be lovely if you had a class which showed what you can do with a cricut and only touched lightly on the "how to". The way how this class was described was not in line with the content I find.

Emma Chambers • Nov 2021

This workshop was excellent. I enjoyed every minute of it. Chrissie is the ideal person to do these workshops. She makes everything easy to understand and explains all her actions in clear, understandable ways. She also brings an element of humour into her workshops which helps people to relax. I would like a full day with her, even if I have to share her with other people. She obviously loves working with the Cricut machines and passes this on in her teaching methods.
Thank you, Chrissie, you are marvellous!

Sabine Kurz • Nov 2021

This was my second hobbycraft workshop. And a very different experience. The Demonstrator was ok but it was like watching a video. No interaction was invited, we were all muted and video off. Cold. Demonstrator used a very different kit which wasn’t great as 4 out of the 7 participants in my group were using the white kit not the red kit the demonstrator used. So we had no red berries, no cinnamon sticks, no holly, no pine cones and no artichokes. Only 4 different items compared to 8 for the red kit.

Disappointing experience

Anita Marmery • Nov 2021

Really enjoyed the workshop. I managed to achieve much more than I thought I would in the one hour time. All the materials arrived a few days before the workshop and are of good quality.

Susan McIvor • Nov 2021

Never been to class b4. Hard to watch and craft at same time felt was rushing to keep up but then realised you have loads of time to craft on your own and that made a big difference. Will know better for next time. Class was enjoyable though and well presented.

Gill Cook • Nov 2021

Make sure that you get the links right. There was unfortunately a technical glitch to start with which caused me a bit of stress. Got there eventually and enjoyed it . Would do another one

Dorothy Byrne • Nov 2021

Demonstrator was fine but there was virtually no interaction with them.

The kit that was sent was different to the one the demonstrator was using - so there were no red coloured bobbles, no pieces of cinnamon stick, no holly, no little light coloured beads - just plastic leaves and white beads.

I was a little disappointed to say the least.

Christine Brackenbury • Nov 2021

I really enjoyed this workshop, it was well presented. Rugile was very good and gave lots of ideas of how to decorate the baubles. The only thing I would have liked more time to practice the letters - that's why I gave good and not great - (there are a lot to cram in one hour) subsequently I did not decorate my baubles yet. I am looking forward to practicing and decorating them for Christmas. The cost of the workshop was very good value.

Carol Ross • Nov 2021

My sister and I registered for this class, and we both received our kit on time for the class. The gentleman tutor was very clear in his instructions, although we could not see his face, but clearly see the workspace he created for the demonstration.
My sister Karen (lives in Aberdeen) who is not good with technology, (I live in South Wales),so I face timed her on my laptop and put the zoom link on my Mac desktop computer, so we could both join in the class and communicate well.

However, it was disappointing that we spent half the class time preparing the stag head prior to doing the decopatch, including painting the paper mache head white, and the antlers gold, the paint we received in our kit, was quick to dry which was good, then we had to rip pieces of the tissue paper which was quite hard when you have warm hands as it kept on having tails, which again took some time to rip the sheet of paper.

The tutor then showed us how to stick the tissue paper into the stags eye socket, which was a bit hard and fiddly, then we covered the stags head with the tissue paper, we were then advised that we could not finish the stags head as it needed 24 hours to dry completely before we could paint the eyes, ears, and nose. Tutor did however verbally tell us how to do this painting, and showed us a completed stag head, and that to use No.6 paintbrush from our kit. Tutor then asked if there were any questions, and we asked about more details on how to get the features from the eyes, nose details when we paint it, to which he verbally told us. We also asked about deco patch using fabrics or other materials and colours, he answered our questions, then advised that our time was up and we said our goodbyes and left the workshop zoom link.

Both my sister and I felt that the workshop fell short of our expectations, and that we were expecting to be shown the completed version of the stag, including how to paint the features in when dry using a non completed stag. Basically a stag head that was not painted on the eyes, ears, nose, and the tutor could physically show us how to get these features good and clear.

We also felt that a lot of time was wasted preparing the stags head, this could have been asked to do the night before or morning of the class, and the time could have been spent in the class giving demonstrations of different types of deco patch using different materials for your stags head, if you wish to do another stag. Also, the tutor mentioned you could put xmas baubles from the antlers, however he did not show us how we could do this and how to attach the baubles onto the antlers.

My sister and I signed up to this workshop as we had never done this type of craft before, and because we live so far apart, we were excited to do this workshop together, and was excited at having a stag head for xmas. However as mentioned above we felt deflated at not fully getting it completed or being shown how to do the features but left to do it ourselves.

I do think that maybe have some photo/picture or typed instructions on how to do the stag head in with this kit, so that people can follow the finishing touches when dry. But also how to prepare the stags head prior to the deco patch as this would save around 30 minutes at the beginning of the class and you could spend more time getting the details of the finishing touches, as well as being able to have questions answered, without running out of time.
Also how to fit baubles onto the stags antlers, as well as using alternative materials, fabric, silks, coloured tissue.

I feel more confident going forward now .

Colleen Fraser • Nov 2021

It was really a lot of fun. Will probably do more workshops in the future.

Zoe Thompson • Nov 2021

Great principle, though I personally think felt that’s the hour and a half zoom call wasn’t needed and feel there should be an option to not do it.
Would definitely recommend and will be doing another workshop

Ann Davies • Nov 2021

Great fun x had a lovely morning crafting. Looking forward to making more for Xmas gifts

Jude Firth • Nov 2021

Great little online crafting course. The leader gave clear instructions & helpful tips & suggestions. We got a clear view of what she was doing too. There was a short delay at the start as she had a technical problem but she sorted it out quickly.

Alison Green • Nov 2021

Kit and host were both good, but class itself was only about 40 minutes of teaching. I felt like there could have been a bit more to the session. Might have been nice to show some decorations being painted as part of the class, even though we would just be watching.

Certainly something I will try again with different shapes and patterns.

During the class I felt too much time was spent going over lettering (over half the time) and not enough time was spent on the actual decorations.

But it was 90mins of painting a wooden house. With the final 5mins of put some pva on the numbers and stick. I don’t feel I learnt anything.
I know we have to paint ours. But she should have had prepainted bits so she could have shown how to do the wreath and the numbers.

I can't review the course as I forgot about it (obviously completely my own fault). Leaving a review anyway because as soon as the course finished, I got a text to leave a review. Maybe in future you could send a reminder text 10 mins before the course starts? That would be a massive help to idiots like me.

Mrs Haime • Nov 2021

Hi my daughter and I enjoyed the course but we both found we needed more time to finish our project. It is a shame the course couldn’t be paused at different stages throughout ,so that we could catch up.This was our first time at doing decoupage, and painting the stags antlers needed more time to complete.We both found the whole course was rushed. Thank you Mrs C Haime

Some good ideas - I enjoyed the workshop. It was really interesting to work with the clay and there was plenty left!

Some additional ideas given - I have tried the leaf - and I am going to make more stars.

Meg Wilkins • Nov 2021

Class felt a bit flat. Also, seemed a bit simple making the clay stars and something that I could have worked out myself at home. My connection kept on dropping on zoom (not sure which end was the issue) but it dropped 10/15 mins towards the end and I wasn’t bothered about rejoining

Helen Clarke • Nov 2021

However a hole appeared in my candle after it cooled no mention of the possibility of this happening, why or how to rectify to add at its in the future.

The workshop was perfect for demonstrating the steps to make candles at home. The included materials were great and I cannot wait to practice my skills and make more candles!

Mrs Parker • Nov 2021

The young lady who gave the workshop was excellent. However the box wasn’t as displayed. One item was missing.
There were three large fillables and five large ornaments that would not fit into the smaller fillables. That made two ornaments that could not be used.
The demonstrator worked with a different set of armaments which looked better and different larger trees which were a better fit for the small fillables.
Overall the workshop was good, but some of the ornaments sent in my natural box were disappointing.

Emma was so relaxed and easy to talk to. She gave good hints and tips for the best results and we had a really enjoyable evening. I must go and get some more cloches as these will make lovely little gifts. There was so much surplus put into the box of goodies that it will make the extra cloches a real bargain. My friend used tacky glue on the edges of her shapes and silver glitter. Really pretty as neither of us liked the silver paint provided. I liked mine natural with the moss. Very happy.

Helin Resuli • Nov 2021

This was an interesting course, giving the basics of brush lettering. The pack that is included was excellent with quality materials and plenty more than was needed for the course. The worksheets were good and very helpful. The lady leading the course was open to questions and was able to demonstrate clearly what she was doing and the camera and sound quality was very good. She ascertained the groups ability at the start of the workshiop and geared her demo to suit.

The only negative was that there was a lot of time spent on the exercises going through each letter and the joining up of the letters at the end felt rushed. The demo of drawing leaves on a notebook towards the end was unnecesary and I would have liked to see this time taken up with perhpas a demo of what the artisan could do with what she had taught us or even different styles of lettering.

On the whole I was very pleased with the workship and would recommend to others wanting to learn the basics of brush lettering.

Sarah was incredible, she did step by step instructions which was clear to understand. She gave us useful tips on how we could make the candle better or how to stop problems occurring. Overall, a great workshop and I am sure we will be making many more candles. I would highly recommend this workshop.

Great workshop, fab selection of items for the baubles, cant wait to make more and hang them on my tree.

Sonya Blissett • Nov 2021

It would of been useful to have put a coat of white pint on before the workshop, if it had been suggested, I would of done this - an absolutely minor comment

Rowena Procter • Nov 2021

I really enjoyed the workshop. I've not done any paper craft before and this was a good introduction.
Class was quite fast paced but I generally managed to keep up. Plenty of materials to make more in my own time.
Tutor was very good, explained things well and had good ideas.
Would definitely recommend.

Really had a great time, loved that you can chat and work with different people from all over the country.
The host was lovely, very bubbly and made everyone feel at ease in conversation and with asking questions throughout the live course.
The contents of the box was great in fact more than you require for the course, so (you can play around after or at another time).
One of my glass jars came broken but that is fine, I had others around the house to use.
In all, the experience I had was, a really relaxing time- candle making.
Will definitely purchase a few other courses.

Do you offer a little more intensive course on candle making ?

Thank you again
Best
Alice

Really enjoyed being part of the class, it wasn't rushed, we took things step by step, the tutor asked if we had any questions and answered them, I felt that i had time to take it all in, would recommend the workshop to others.

Dianne Thoms • Nov 2021

Emma was really good and explained how to make the cloches in an easy to understand manner.
Pity I still haven’t received my actual kit to join in.
Can someone please reply to my emails as to when I can expect to receive it?
Thanks

Violet Threadgill • Nov 2021

The tutor left us to do it ourselves. Not much group interaction like another class I have done. Not sure how I would have got on if I hadn’t of done the previous class. I would recommend buying the things and doing it yourself.

Nicola Clarke • Nov 2021

Absolutely loved the workshop, Emma was very informative and helpful (I'm a beginner so the little tips were great), so happy with the package I received, it was a lot of fun and well worth the money, thank you Emma

Knowledgeable host, the formula for calculating the wax needed for a container will be invaluable. I couldn't play along as I was using a slow cooker and my wax wasn't ready, so I would suggest putting information in the welcome email on how to have your was ready in time for the workshop. I carried on after the workshop ended once the wax was done.

The tutor was good and very willing to help, which must have been frustrating as I had to catch up. She was mindful of my needs and offered to assist which I appreciated
.

Vanessa Sang • Nov 2021

Although Bethany was new to taking this class, she did a really good job and was very patient with everyone as we were all progressing at different stages. I had a shaky start as I joined a few mins late due to not getting my audio sorted etc and didn’t really know what to do at first but with recaps for everyone, I’m delighted with the fact that I managed to make my first candle successfully in the end. I enjoyed it all very much.

The craft kit will make loads of candles and you get so much with it. All I would say is that it could do with a spoon provided; one you don't mind getting wax on it.

Lovely young lady who ran the class. An enjoyable hour making the wreath.
The only downside was half the class were missing the jute ribbon and like me had told hobby craft 2 days ago but no replacement sent before the class which was disappointing. I hope it arrives soon so so I can complete my wreath

Kathleen Balfour • Nov 2021

It feels like a crafting hour with a friend Stephy showed me steps and great tips and how to overcome my fear of button holes. I left inspired! Thank you

I really enjoyed my one hour one-to-one sewing class with Beth at the Telford store today. She was very informative and helped me with free motion embroidery as I am a beginner. Beth gave me encouragement and demonstrated how to do the embroidery with her machine and I was able to copy using my own machine which I found very useful. She gave me good tips and starting points and would definitely book another lesson should I need help with other aspects of using my sewing machine. This class is excellent value and I highly recommend it.

Shelagh Picton • Nov 2021

It would have been better if the teacher had used the Bain Marie method rather than the microwave. The microwave is difficult to get the correct temp. She actually used a slow cooker which some of us didn't have. You only need a pan and a glass or metal jug to do the Bain Marie method. A bit disappointed. I didn't make any candles I just watched as I was ill. I have made some now using the method I have suggested plus I have watch You Tube. Maybe you at Hobby Crsft should fo a you tube video. I also went into your store very limited stock for csndle making. Jars would be a good item to have. Plus wick stickers.

I really enjoyed the candle making workshop in spite of technical problems with my internet connection. However Paula was very helpful and happily repeated what I missed. She led the workshop really well explaining clearly the different steps with images that showed what to do. She also answered questions. I have been wanting to have a go at making candles for a long time hoping to raise money for our church organ in need of restoration. I am still not that confident but having attended the workshop I think I am quite determined to give it a go. A big thank you.

I was a little concerned at first re previous reviews saying not enough time to complete. However, Emma advised that we could go at our own pace and she showed us what we could do. She apologised for the connection issue at the time and in an email, where she sent a picture through of the completed advent for our colours. Another attendee mentioned that maybe a picture of the advent calendar completed could be included in the kit, which I also think would be a good idea.
Lovely class and good price. Thank you

I would definitely recommend. I'm now considering an in-store workshop due to my technical downfall.

Nice idea but you can’t really get much done within the class. Would be nicer if it was just an intro class with a few tags for a fiver. Or alternatively if there were intro videos sent ahead of time so the class can focus on the Christmas Eve box. Also clear instructions to transfer the design onto the box ahead of time and some transfer paper in the box would be helpful. Mine also came with a wrong contents list.

The Artisan was very welcoming and was lovely at helping me with a few technical issues with my glue gun. The kit is amazing and i loved the simplicity of a fillable bauble, cloche or mason jar. I found this lady to be very knowledgeable in this craft and it is just a shame that it was for 1 hour. I believe that the attendees would welcome a little more time to get a few items done as we all learn at different speeds. I very much enjoyed the session and i thank Hobbycraft for doing these. I found that you don't need to download zoom to take part as if you click the link in the email it will take you through the process and connect you to the class. So a thank you to Emma Hunt and Hobbycraft i recommend this 100%.

Made the autumn wreath. Really easy and fun. Thanks again for the class. Inspired to make another. :)

Sophie Donkin • Oct 2021

The class was so enjoyable and felt really accessible to beginners. The host was kind and reassuring, encouraging us to go with our instincts and not over-thinking the task, whilst still providing clear guidance.

I'd read through the previous reviews and decided to paint the Advent House with primer the day before. The workshop was really good. We were given clear instructions and all questions were answered. My two children enjoyed helping complete the Advent house. We are all happy with the finished product.

Really enjoyable activity. The member of staff who ran it was very pleasant and friendly and made the children comfortable during the activity.

This was my first online workshop. The joining was very smooth, the group was all muted to allow the artisan to talk us through the steps. She was very encouraging which was fab. This is a very big project and is likely to take a whole day to complete if you are taking your time. In the 1.5 hours I only got my frame painted as I was taking my time.

I’ve only scored it a “good” for 1 reason which was.
By house was delivered damaged with bits missing in the box, I contacted hobby craft and was informed a new box would be sent out which did not arrive so yesterday I went to store to purchase the missing bits and a new house so feel like I’ve ended up paying twice.

Jill Toft • Oct 2021

Our teacher was very thorough, so although I couldn't finish in the time we knew exactly how to proceed.

Kelly Ainsworth • Oct 2021

We really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to hang the bats in the window later

Kim Bowling • Oct 2021

The lady was great. My only disappointment was that when I opened my box of goodies, immediately before the class started, one of the doors on the advent calendar was broken. I spent the class decorating a broken calendar which spoilt the whole experience. £35, 90 minutes decorating and it’s going in the bin because it’s broken.

I really enjoyed this class. The teacher was lovely - she supported us and gave us good tips. The cards were tricky to make but she broke it down into manageable steps and they turned out beautifully.

Really fun and interactive teacher. Easy to follow. Loved designing my advent house. Pack arrived in plenty of time.

Ali Stellings • Oct 2021

Good workshop but not quite what I was expecting - I thought it would be more like a tutorial for us to then go away and complete our projects rather than completing our projects during the workshop.

Megan Daniel • Oct 2021

Great workshop and really enjoyed making this haven’t finished yet but the artisan gave lots of good ideas of what to do

Chloe Rankine • Oct 2021

Julie Hankin • Oct 2021

The tutor (sorry I can’t remember your name!) was lovely and bubbly but if I had been watching on YouTube I would have paused several times as I felt she was clicking around a little bit too quickly for a novice like myself!
I did pick up a few tips and I’m sure if you had already been using design space then it would have been a bit easier to understand!
Definitely worth giving these classes a go and some of the tips were helpful.
Thanks

Tara Woodyer • Oct 2021

The artisan was very friendly and offered to continue giving advice after the class if needed. I will need more practice time with the tool before I can start on the box. I found the practice tags a bit fiddly to work with because they are so small. I would've liked the opportunity to practice with the different tips during the class, even though this would make the class longer due to the cooling time needed. Sometimes it was difficult to see the angles that the tool should be held at due to the overhead camera positioning. I'll be giving pyrography another go. I'm looking forward to what I can do with some more practice.

Jayne Kirton • Oct 2021

Many thanks to Louise for a very enjoyable hour. I’m hooked now and will be trying much more fluid art!
Thank you.

Graeme Aitken • Oct 2021

Very enjoyable and easy to follow.

I will definitely recommend to others.

Please pass on my thanks.

Elizabeth Wooldridge • Oct 2021

Really enjoyed the workshop. Very well explained and presented. Good pace with lots of opportunities to ask questions etc. Will definitely look out for other workshops you are running. Thanks.

A fabulous hour. Came away feeling so energised and excited about my cricut plans! Chrissie was so easy to talk to. I felt like I was chatting to one of my friends. Thanks Chrissie!

Chloe Ledger • Oct 2021

When I booked I was under the impression that it would be in store as they had started again. So a bit disappointed it was online.
Cody was clearly knowledgeable about machines. However I would have preferred to be able to be talked through a small project and have advice as I went along.
Also the lesson was cut short, I felt Cody had had enough after 40 mins. Having saying that he was very good at using the IT with different camera angles etc and it was refreshing to see a youngster enthusiastic about sewing.

Carrie Tiller • Oct 2021

I thought the class was great. I didn’t keep up and only made 2 cards but I am inspired to have some good ideas to make my own, thank you

Jennie Bonham • Oct 2021

A good class to teach children a new skill. Get everything ready before hand as it’s fast moving. Holly was lovely.

The pack is good as it includes the resources and is free postage

Would love to see other examples at the end of class so we could see what to make next

Lovely presenter, fab session and great end result. Happy crafter. Thank you for a super session.

Jacquie James • Oct 2021

Present for bed bound friend. Told by you it would be ok. Two massive boxes with loads of packaging and filling. Large wreath, pitiful amount of decoration to cover it. My friend never got the login/access code. Couldn't join the online event. Will not be buying any more from you. I feel worse as it was a gift to a friend who needs stimulation and this just caused frustration. She had seen the cost and couldn't believe the poor quality and ridiculous amount of packaging she had to ask her family to dispose of. She didn't want me to know and would have provided feedback herself if she could have but her family told me. I don't care about the money just sad that thd gift was so disappointing when she was so looking forward to it.

Wendy Maile • Oct 2021

The teacher was really nice even though I came in late and I caught up and it has turned out good so far . I would recommend if you like nice long calming projects

I don't own a cricut machine yet but it gave me a good overview of what it is possible to achieve with one.

Beth Cossins • Oct 2021

The workshop pack was really good and arrived in good time along with clear joining instructions. In terms of the actual workshop I had thought that there would have been brush lettering on the actual ceramics sent. Sadly, I didn’t feel I learnt much more than I could have done by copying the letters in the pack.

The host was lovely. As some had had left their microphones on she was asking questions (eg what crafts we have been up to for Halloween) and giving tips as we went.
It is a lot to do in an hour, so be prepared to need to carry on afterwards or pick up the rest at another time.

Emily Wittwer • Oct 2021

Really helpful tips given by the teacher, and a nice craft to try. Also, Green and Red package came out very nicely.

Catherine Russell • Oct 2021

A nice activity for Halloween, my 6 year old really enjoyed! The kit had plenty of items, enough for extra crafting too.

Lizzie Barrett • Oct 2021

Great workshop, unfortunately my house arrived damaged but I was offered a voucher for another workshop or a replacement. I opted for a replacement which was sorted quickly and was able to continue following the workshop to learn the techniques. The artisan was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and made it very comfortable for everyone to ask questions. I was worried an online workshop wouldn’t be as detailed but I was pleasantly mistaken and would definitely recommend it for those still apprehensive about public places.

Helen Bridgwater • Oct 2021

Jasmine Hodge-Lake • Oct 2021

Second time I did this class. The first time was a bit of a non starter but Hobbycraft allowed me to repeat this class. A much better experinece which I was able to enjoy & sew along. I even managed to find stuff on my sewing machine which I didn't during the class. I also repaired something after the class on my sewing machine & I am a beginner. I just need to work out how to replace my needle now as it broke during my repair LOL. The life of a sewing novice.

It was a great class. At some points it was hard to stay on track as it was taught at a fast past as we made 3 cards with different levels of difficulty. However the teacher explained everything well so I was able to complete the cards after the class. The teacher was lovely and answered all the questions I had. She also sent us photos to refer back to and the stencils which was great. Would definitely recommend :)

Helen Smith • Oct 2021

Jane Plant • Oct 2021

This was a great workshop with Emma Hunt. We had plenty of time to do what was needed, it was very relaxed: she gave us lots of hints and different options for our cloches. Because there were only two of us in the class, we could chat about other things while we wer e working without too much fear of interrupting one another! (Can be a problem with Zoom). All in all a great class. Thank you Emma

Generally a nice class and a really enthusiastic teacher. The wreath itself could do with having some more length and volume to it and it would be good to see a finished item at the beginning of the class.

Jodie Francis • Oct 2021

Class was really good. Artisan was clear but it was very basic. I think maybe a level rating would be good in future.

There was more than enough materials included and all very good quality.
The member of staff leading the workshop was fab! Her instructions were clear and easy to follow. She chatted to us all and made sure we knew what we were doing
Thank you for a fun morning

Julie Blackburn • Oct 2021

I absolutely loved it.
I have been using my machine prior to this workshop and I was shocked at what 8t can actually do. Thanks to Chrissie who was superb at showing me what to do and having fun with it so no one felt silly.
The tips that she gave us were brilliant. I'm still shocked at the pen thing

Mary Billington • Oct 2021

Has given me the confidence to use the machine. Clear and easy to follow. Thanks

Kayleigh Hubber • Oct 2021

Great idea but needs tweaking.
My kit arrived without brushes that were needed so I had to go and purchase these elsewhere.
Teacher didn’t know how to mute everyone so couldn’t always hear what she was saying and screen also went to another screen each time someone spoke so class was hard for my Childrens to follow. Ended up leaving the Xoom early and showing my children how to do it myself. Very disappointed

It was exciting to receive the box of supplies which arrived in plenty of time. The zoom link worked well and the class started on time. The instructions were clear and easy to follow- we have three paper maché bats hanging up and they look good. The only thing that didn’t seem to work for us was the glow in the dark paint- perhaps we’ll try some more today?
We enjoyed the class - thank you.

Judith Finlay • Oct 2021

I loved the craft kit provided before the class started, but too much packaging was with it. Classiwas poor only some tips at the start and then no conversation. Needs to be more interactive.

Can you get her a transfer to Teesside Park, Stockton then she will have to move here. There are 2 beautiful houses just gone on the market near me. I can't praise Chrissie enough as you can see from my comments. Thank you so very much, Chrissie and Hobbycraft.

I’m going to book an online Christmas workshop now!

Ian Evans • Oct 2021

The crafting was really good, but we felt it was spoilt by others on the session, talking about Minecraft etc.
Perhaps muting all attendees might be worth considering.

This class was great as an introduction for card making, there were a few tools that I got to understand much better through this class. Considering the cost there were more bits and bobs in the box than I expected. My only comment is there is a lot to get through in the hour, so we ran over and didn't finish one of the cards, but we got to talk through and see what it would/could look like.

Ceri Rees • Oct 2021

The workshop was good, but an hour wasn’t really long enough - it felt a little rushed. The lady who ran it was very good though.
Unfortunately I did not have all of the equipment in one of the sets, I have emailed you about this and await your reply.

Emma Need • Oct 2021

I thought it was a brilliant workshop. She explained clearly, gave great pointers and guidance and answered any questions we had. We're really looking forward to booking other hobbycraft courses.

Mrs Greenaway • Oct 2021

My daughter and I really enjoyed this workshop. It has given us lots of ideas that we can use when making our Christmas cards this year! Instructor was knowledgeable and helpful. The workshop is fast pace but the instructor will be emailing pictures of sample cards, along with the templates she used. We would certainly recommend this workshop to others!

Miss Gowdy • Oct 2021

Enjoyed the class and loved the pack and the ideas. It was perhaps a bit ambitious to make the third card in the set - a level of skills needed.

Sabrina Anderson • Oct 2021

Great class. Teacher worked through the wreath with us and easy to follow. My first hobby tocraft workshop, and I will definitely do another

Lovely teacher! Great amount of products given in the box and easy follow along for the child! Would absolutely do another one!

Joseph Macintyre • Oct 2021

We chose to do this class as our son has additional needs and this format was brilliant as we could just go at our own pace and take little breaks. He was able to join in whereas he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy a face to face class. It was really well presented and clear! Thank you for being inclusive!

Michele Fritchley • Oct 2021

This workshop was good value for money, unfortunately my 2 grandsons weren’t in the right frame of mind thus morning, am now in the process of decorating the 2 bars left with my 3yr old granddaughters who are really enjoying it

Penny Wale • Oct 2021

What a lovely time we had at the Autumn Wresth making workshop with Sarah from the Falkirk store . She explained everything well and gave plenty time to create the wreath . The pack had everything in it that was needed apart from scissors. Only reason I’ve reviewed this as good and not great is because the resource pack only just arrived in time . It would be good if they could be sent out a few days earlier . I would definitely consider doing another online workshop . They are great if you don’t happen to live near a store .

Despite booking and paying for two places i only received one kit a few days before the workshop. Hobbycraft were unable to get another kit to me in time for the class. They are dealing with that issue, however it did mean that only one kit was able to be used between my friend and I. When the workshop started 2 other groups of people reported the same issue and were also left without kits for everyone. This really impacted on the experience. The person leading the workshop was friendly but it would have been more helpful to have each step explained as we did it rather than trying to work out what she had just done for ourselves. I would do another workshop as it was helpful and a good way to try a new craft. But the overall experience was a little disappointing.

Catherine Halliwell-Rawnsley • Oct 2021

An enjoyable course which would have received 5 stars if both my kits had arrived together, enough said. I wasn't particularly keen on the orange flowers so knitted some pumpkins to use instead. Thoroughly enjoyed making my wreath and the instructor was good (sorry, I can't remember her name). If you're a novice this course is ideal, even the more experienced will still find it fun. My daughter and I did this together (2 places booked) and the Zoom call was an ideal medium.

Gemma Howe • Oct 2021

Lovely class, Emma was very knowledgeable taught all the basics, breaking down how to do the letters in a manageable way. Class could probably do with having another 15mins to practice jointing the letters up a few more times.
All items delivered on time and lovely quality for a first timer.

Laura Lennon • Oct 2021

Really lovely… maybe a little less advice than I thought such as the introduction could have included whether this was a ‘how to’ or a start and you can use your own creativity to create what you like… I enjoyed it though. Maybe just a little light on techniques/tips.

Helen Bradshaw • Oct 2021

I really enjoyed the activity, especially being able to do it in my own space at home! I hope the online workshops continue after COVID. The quality of the materials was great and the instructor was very helpful too. The only thing that let it down was that others didn't mute themselves and weren't asked to, so the camera kept moving off the instructor to them and I missed some bits

Laura Creighton • Oct 2021

Natalie Morris • Oct 2021

The person doing the workshop was fantastic but unfortunately hobbycraft only sent 1 kit so me and my friend had to share and as it was a birthday gift it was disappointing.

Thank you Chrissie

Jill Wilson • Oct 2021

It would have been 5 stars but I felt a bit rushed during the class. We were asked to connect 10 minutes ahead of the 11.30 start which I tried to do but the meeting started 11.30 and so I waited those 10 minutes to be accepted
I also didn’t have time to sort out on my iPad on how to ask a question but that was my issue not yours. It was my lack of zoom knowledge I just felt I was watching a YouTube video
I did though enjoy it and learned a lot, thank you.

The class itself was good, the teacher was friendly and engaging but the kit arrived missing components.

Ann Day • Oct 2021

We enjoyed the class, the trouble was we were concentrating so much on getting the wreath right that we forgot to look at the facilitator. Time went so quickly and before we knew it our hour was up.

Yvonne Kay • Oct 2021

Excellent presentation of Beginners class . Emma was very personable and explained clearly each step. I liked the fact she emphasised there are no hard and fast rules to the style of brush lettering adopted. This workshop and materials excellent value for money. More please.

Jill Howard • Oct 2021

I really enjoyed this mornings brush lettering tutorial. Never tried brush lettering before but with the easy step by step instructions and the pack that came to go with the tutorial I will be practicing every day to perfect a Christmas greeting for my friends and family. The class was run very well indeed, I was able to go over something I found tricky. The pace of the class was excellent, not too quick that you didn't get a chance to go over things but just right. I will be recommending these tutorials with Hobbycraft and will be enrolling for more in the future.

Good class, decently paced so we finished just slightly before the hour was up. All materials arrived in plenty of time and in one piece even though the box looked a bit worse for wear (not that you can do much about how your couriers treat it) so was clearly well packaged. Feel like I gained some skill from the class and now have a nice wreath for my home!

Laura Boyer • Oct 2021

It was the persons first time and I appreciate that but he couldn’t find his coaster then he didn’t switch the screen so we couldn’t see anything.
He wasn’t clear explaining what side the material should go and although he asked everyone to mute their mics when someone kept talking to their OH about tea and toast it was up to me to ask her to turn her mic off!
£5 each was a lot of money from us all for what was delivered. Which wasn’t even an hour.

Victoria Mellor • Oct 2021

The teacher was very good and the flowers etc were good as well. I liked the way she talked about different techniques you could use. I would have likes a bit more material as for such a large wreath I though it could have done with more flowers. I enjoyed the course.

I have given this a rating of ‘Great’ in order to leave my comments. Communication beforehand was excellent but unfortunately on the day, due to circumstance out-with my control, I wasn’t able to join the one to one workshop to take part.
My apologies and I hope to book another class in the very near future in order to be able to begin using my still-unboxed-after-a year-and—a-half, Cricut Maker

Many thanks

Really good workshop. However, would have liked it to be a bit longer, so as to give opportunity for asking questions and use own imagination. One hour just felt a bit too rushed and not enough explanation of why things were placed where was provided. So, while I am able to make the wreath taught in class, it did not give me tips what to watch out for for future projects.

Georgina Scase • Oct 2021

Lady leading the session was lovely! very attentive and happy to answer all of our questions

Deborah Hillgartner • Oct 2021

It was fun learning to make something new. The materials that were sent were good although I would have preferred slightly more of them. The glue gun took what seemed like a very long time to heat up and then I went through a lot of sticks. Don't know if that's normal or not. The instructor went at a reasonable pace but could have done better explaining how to use the glue gun before we got started as there seemed to be a few participants who hadn't used one before.

Amy Owens • Oct 2021

It was a really engaging, informative session and the presenter was really lovely too :-) I decided to just watch the session and will make the wreath in my own time but she gave lots of helpful tips to help create a beautiful autumn wreath.

Naomi Geary • Oct 2021

I really enjoyed the Autumn wreath making workshop and am very pleased with my finished (almost!) wreath! I love crafts but was nervous to make the wreath without some guidance so this was perfect! It was handy having everything I needed delivered to my door just in time for the workshop. Our host was cheerful and friendly as well as clear in her instructions and very encouraging! I appreciated having someone suggest what to put where and give hints and tips along the way! This was my first Hobbycraft workshop but it won’t be my last!

This was a great workshop with a lovely host. I really enjoyed it and would certainly recommend having a go.

Judith Bateman • Oct 2021

The autumn wreath making workshop was great. The tutor went at a good pace explaining everything clearly, made sure to show us what she was doing throughout, and she gave plenty of opportunities to ask questions. And I’ve made a wreath I’m quite proud of!

Carol Davies • Oct 2021

Good clear video, very well organised, and explained the whole way through. Loved the finished project
Thanks

Rachael Armstrong • Oct 2021

Great fun and very instructive,
Lovely host with plenty of time to explain each part

Grainne Burley • Oct 2021

Great instructor really enjoyed the class except for the internet cutting out quite a bit towards the end I couldn’t hear the instructor I would definitely do another course/class.

Katherine Black • Oct 2021

We really enjoyed the class, everything was well organised with the kit turning up a few days before as promised. We were pleasantly surprised at how much we got in the way of some of the materials, plenty left over to use in some other craft projects! Our instructor was really good, clear and concise.

Just needed more time. So perhaps need to extend the workshop so can get the projects finished. But otherwise, fab! Enjoyed!

Lesley Docherty • Oct 2021

All the paints and utensils needed were provided in a useful pack that was delivered in good time for the course. The course was easily accessible via zoom and the instructor was very patient and friendly and continually tried to engage attendees and make everyone feel welcome and included. I enjoyed making a bit of mess and will definitely have a go at making more attempts in the future

Ellie Donegan • Oct 2021

The class excellent. Good materials and great instructor who did things at the right pace

Claire Taylor • Oct 2021

Enjoyable class with knowledgeable teacher. Kit contained class components arrived a few days prior to the class and were more than enough for the class. Lots of leftovers to use for future projects - good value for money. Only negative was one of the lights on the cloche was not centre but still works fine. Will book future online classes. It was great to be able to do an online class from home - makes it possible for people with very young children.

Couldn’t get onto the workshop - the kit looks brilliant and such good value for money but sadly our internet was in and out which meant we couldn’t join the instruction session, not Hobbycraft’s fault at all - we will try to join another one if there are any or get some instructions or just have a go ourselves as hopefully we can work it out :) would highly recommend their sessions though having done others, but can’t fully review this one sorry.

Connected very well. It is tricky to meet everyone’s requirements, eg different machines etc, but it was dealt with quite well and kept to time. I would repeat the experience.

Zoe Stuttard • Oct 2021

I absolutely loved the fluid art class with Louise this morning, she explained it well and went at a good pace so we could follow her easily. She answered all the questions and gave us space to be creative. Highly recommend! I will definitely be experimenting with more fluid art in the future!

It was fun to do. It would have been to good to be advised to paint the wooden figures before the class to allow plenty of time for the paint to dry as we were sticking wet decorations. Great amount of kit involved. Easy to follow.

Jane Taylor-Collins • Oct 2021

I can only say good as I disappointedly didn't get to take the class in the end but I was really looking forward to it

Answered questions I had and would use workshop again.

Danielle Clarke • Oct 2021

We each had a broken cloche so we didn’t take as long as the others. The girl who was showing us what to do was overly talkative and it became slightly annoying. We came on early and she had repeated herself numerous times about her craft page

Alexandra Lawton • Oct 2021

Really enjoyed this class. The instructor was really relaxed, down-to-earth. and happy to take any questions. The set up was really good, you could see exactly what she was doing. We had the option to have a go at the same time as watching or just watch the demo/ask questions and try out in our own time (I did the latter, which suited me well).
Definitely recommend giving a class a go for something different, plus you get loads of kit to work with at home at your leisure.
Will definitely be keeping an eye out for other workshops, have already booked one as a present for my sister-in-law.

Donna Weiniger • Oct 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed this 1:1 with Vanessa. She was able to demonstrate and talk me through so much step by step and I feel more confident in trying my cricut out.

Chrissie, is a wonderful, patient and knowledge person.
Which is why I have booked several classes with her.

The machine being demonstrated on differed from mine in several significant features.

Rachel Dunkley • Oct 2021

Workshop was fun and easy to follow! It was a great way to spend an hour. The camera quality/internet connection could be better though.

Michelle Lucas • Oct 2021

The workshop was very rushed. Three cards was simply too much to fit into an hour. As a result, the cards I made were pretty shabby because I was having to do everything so quickly. Often the teacher had moved on to the next bit before I'd done the previous bit (and I'm not a slow crafter by any means). I felt that the cards I ended up with were just a bit of a waste. The skills I learned were good, though, and when I had time to work at a slower speed, the results were good. Not sure I would sign up for another course, just not sure it was worth the money. Also, the red box is much better than the blue box (just a tip).

Lj Robinson • Oct 2021

I enjoyed this class, but it was disappointing that, despite working very quickly, the tutor didn't have enough time to finish the 3rd card. Suggestion - e-mail the measurements of the 'additions' to each card - i.e. paper cutouts etc, to participants in advance. They will then be able to prepare these, and the tutor won't have to spend time giving them the measurements and herself cutting each piece.The kit provided was excellent. I

Joanne Boddington • Oct 2021

I was pleased with the kit which was delivered in plenty of time. The joining instructions were clear. I enjoyed the workshop and was pleased with what I made. However although the teacher was really helpful nobody could keep up with her and some of the instructions were very confusing. The in-store workshops are more relaxed.

David Dipple • Oct 2021

The tutor was enthusiastic and a good communicator and the card designs interesting and I am sure they will be utilised this year.

The time allocated for the course was far too short to complete the three cards - even with an overrun of 15 minutes. I spent so much time trying to peel the backing off the double sided tape that I missed some of the steps. The last card, the most complex, I only managed to half finish by the end of the session.

Yvonne Taylor • Oct 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended

Was just a bit quick for a first timer. I understand that it was designed to show the making of 3 cards, but could maybe have done with an extra 15 minutes or so, to make sure participants can keep up.

Lynn Stacey • Oct 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. Face to face workshops are preferable because it's easier to ask questions and follow the tutor's instructions. However, I still enjoyed it despite it being via Zoom.

Colette Clarke • Oct 2021

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

A very good workshop albeit quite rushed. I didn’t realise we were to follow with trainer immediately to make cards until one said, how are our cards progressing! Realised I should be making cards and not watching. I then prepped cut outs and accessories, set each aside for completion afterwards.
It was very rapid delivery as there was much to deliver. On receipt of photos of completed cards by trainer and other guides, I will complete the cards. I will know for again that I need to commence as soon as the trainer does in a workshop. Thank you for a good experience. Well done!

One of the participants was quite demanding and Steph dealt with her really well.
Great value for money, looking forward to my next session.

Caroline Tyson • Oct 2021

Good resources pack and good card ideas, but trying to make 3 cards in an hour meant pace of class too fast to keep up - which detracted from it's enjoyment. Difficulties getting backing off double sided tape also slowed people down, so possibly using pritt stick instead would have helped.

Frances Milson • Oct 2021

This was the first time I’ve ever done zoom and made cards and I will try and make some more for family & friends instead of buying shop ones

I had a lovely time learning how to make Christmas cards in a slightly different way. I struggled with the easel cards and l felt things were a bit rushed due to time constraints. I found it a hard to keep up! However the instructor was very helpful and will hopefully be sending step by step guides to decorating/ folding the easel card, and templates for the drawings. However l did enjoy this workshop.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get my camera to work but could see and hear all that was going on. It was very informative , the tutor was excellent, very friendly she explained everything very clearly.

Such a good session, lovely materials arrived early this week - it was like an early Christmas present! 3 cards made, quite fast paced at times to get through all the techniques but no pressure to "keep up". I'll certainly be using the ideas from the session in this year's Christmas cards! Thank you!

Hazel Turley • Oct 2021

First zoom class I have completed and enjoyed it. Tutor was lovely and made it fun.
I did find it difficult to follow as I missed things when I was looking down to work and I would have liked to have the tutorial on the full screen but I think that is more my problem as this is all new to me and I am not very technical, so if you have a workshop on that it would be very helpful lol
But I have signed up for more workshops so might have to get my daughter to help me out before the next one
Thank you, great workshop and looking forward to more

realy enjoyed it. our host was so nice and made it fun even though we were all on line.
having online classes is excellent - otherwise I would not be able to attend. will def be attending a few more.

Marion Dearlove • Oct 2021

The class was well thought out and well presented. Lots of good ideas for future card making. The tutor was well prepared and very informative.

However, it would have been useful for her to select herself for viewing or to ask everyone to mute because selecting view speaker to magnify the image did not work because every time one of the participants made a noise you were transferred to their image as they became the speaker. The only way to see the tutor on screen was to select gallery view and the image was very small.

Other problem was the pack. I choose blue and was very disappointed. There was nothing very blue about it. Most of the content was off white and silver and a brownish purple. Only one sheet was a very insipid blue - nice dark brownish purple on the back. The embellishments were obviously meant for the red pack - they were gold and red and green and red - nothing to do with blue or the not blue pack provided. Fortunately, I had some red sheets from last year and used some of those and ignore the embellishments where the blue pack was used.

So, the class itself was very successful evidence provided.

Stay safe and well

Marion

Heidi Williams • Oct 2021

The class did go very fast, but was able to keep up enough to be able to finish my cards off after the call.

Really pleased with it

Lauren Thomas • Oct 2021

Overall I found this class really good and it is value for money. I would have enjoyed it more if less time was spent trying to teach ‘technically challenged’ folk how to work zoom and more time making the cards. It ended up very rushed due to the delay in starting and I had to keep switching screens so that I could see the cards being made because people wouldn’t turn their microphones off and it kept switching to whoever was breathing the loudest.

The lady who took the class was lovely and I’m looking forward to making the cards at a more leisurely pace

Class was great and I love my cards, the only issue I had was the time…extra 10-15 minutes would have been excellent However I did manage to make the cards, I just did the drawing afterwards.

Class was ok, teacher was a little fast which is understandable as need to get lots done in a short time. Think it was all the participants as hardly anyone talked and they all seemed a bit bored so not teachers fault. Would probably do another class in the future x

Natasha Banton • Sep 2021

Linda Costa • Sep 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

I am still a novice. I did this class to make a protege model for cushions ( without the zip one)

I managed to make most of the protege model. So I am pleased I managed that alone.
The teacher did go through via switching camera position.
Explaining using materials and importantly correct measurements and corrected my measurements, as l nearly made a mistake.

The learned a few things about my machine, which the teacher demonstrated on the camera. How to use the lines under my needle to sew the hem size for example.

Quite informative, quite a bit packed into the session. I also managed to look at a Roman blind demonstration with a video session attached for me to look at later

I will probably book again for further sewing courses.
Thank you

What an amazing class. Chrissie was so helpful and friendly. She talked me through all my questions and had examples to demonstrate on a shared screen. After all my questions were answered we discussed what I was doing with my cricut which helped me even more as I was able to ask on the spot questions. The class was worth every penny and I would gladly sign up again if I have further questions I need help with.

Kim Short • Sep 2021

Really enjoyed this and Becki was a great instructor. The art pack supplies provided were perfect. Would have loved for the workshop to be slightly longer to allow for more practice and questions!

Mary Jenkins • Sep 2021

Great class with Joey, I had lots of problems with my internet and getting set up but she was very helpful and patient and we managed to deal with all my questions. I really learnt a lot as she explained everything so well. Will do more one to ones.

Alexandra Brown • Sep 2021

Absolutely brilliant - so useful to be able to ask all the things I really wanted to know! I’ve just done in half an hour what I had been trying to do for several days - best £10 I’ve spent in a long time, thank you Chrissie!

Ro Marshall • Sep 2021

I really enjoyed the workshop and successfully completed two cards. Our Tutor acknowledged that we didn't quite have enough time to finish the third card. We were able to create the stand up part of the card, just run out of time to complete the decoration, although she did talk us through this part too. The workshop was quite intensive because of the time factor but I learnt some new ways of creating cards which was great :-) Our Tutor did start the workshop off by opening up the kit box so maybe just going more or less straight into the card making would save a minute?

Sarah Unsworth • Sep 2021

The artisan was very friendly and informative in a simple yet effect way. Shame the last card was rushed and I fell behind due to finishing at 19:00.

Vanessa Cumper • Sep 2021

Please train your presenters into how to spotlight themselves very distracting when other people speak as the presenter goes off screen. Would have liked to have been told to prime the wood before classand to have water and towel for brushes, and a paint pallet or include a pallet in kit. Very pleased with quality of kit and presenter she was very calm and knowledgeable

This is my third and I’ve loved them all

Becky Mutch • Sep 2021

The session was informative and well-paced, and the tutor was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He explained and demonstrated everything clearly. I got exactly what I'd hoped out of the session and feel ready to get started myself with my first sewing project. I would definitely recommend this tutorial to anyone looking to get started with their sewing machine.

Helen Howell • Sep 2021

The instructor was very friendly and informative and answered everyone questions. It gave me a good understanding of how to decorate my advent calendar but as stated at the start there wasn’t time to complete so it was an overview. My only complaint is that it would have been beneficial to know to prime the calendar in advance.

Anna Szwemin • Sep 2021

Chloe Beattie • Sep 2021

Chrissie was super helpful, even with things I hadn’t thought of! It’s so useful to speak to someone who uses these things themselves.

Elizabeth Drew • Sep 2021

First time doing a workshop, definitely won't be the last. Resources were great and the lady hosting was superb!

Tracy Hall • Sep 2021

Really enjoyable workshop. Given that time was limited and the advent house needs second/third coats of paint, I thought it was well organised. The tutor showed us all aspects of decorating the house and included lots of practical tips on the best way to handle things. Well planned and great fun.

Stacey Emelyanenko • Sep 2021

Amazing The person running the workshop was super friendly and kept everyone engaged the whole time! Fab workshop and I am really excited to finish it off at home

I did the online Advent calendar workshop (my 2nd online workshop) with Anna today and it was fantastic. She was really engaging and friendly which made the session so enjoyable. She was also really helpful giving tips and answering questions where any of our group got stuck or needed help. I am definitely going to sign up to another workshop. Keep up the good work Hobbycraft and the artisans!

Jennifer Anderson • Sep 2021

It was great and Chrissi was very informative about the class and all the others provided both online and in-store. I look forward to my next one.

Anthony Cummins • Sep 2021

This course was great fun! I did it with my 11 year old daughter and we were able to get the hang of it really quickly. Becki was great at explaining all the brush strokes and we were able to master some nice phrases by the end of the hour. I recommend Becki’s excellent course for anyone who wants to learn a fun and relaxing new hobby.

Virginia Valentine • Sep 2021

4 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

Lovely experienced tutor with detailed explanation and demonstration. The kit arrived in good time and was great quality as you would expect from hobby craft. Unfortunately I am quite a slow worker and like to be quite precise so I’ve not managed the doors yet but have full knowledge of how to complete the project. The picture below shows all the background work done with 2 coats ready to finish the doors, the next exciting stage. I would definitely do another workshop but can’t wait to use my joining voucher to buy some more Xmas stuff

Rose Owen • Sep 2021

Diana Allwood • Sep 2021

Very good, clear instructions, basic, just what was needed! Steph was friendly and made sure we were happy with each step before moving on to the next one.

A fantastic introduction in to using Cricut a must for anyone who is thinking of getting one or just purchased one. A really nice guided tour around Design space which can feel a bit over whelming on your first visit.

Samantha Thompson • Sep 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended

Chrissie was an excellent teacher. She explained everything really well and no question was too stupid! I've been a bit scared of using my machine and Design Space but now I feel a lot more confident and I'm looking forward to giving some projects a try. Will 100% do another session. Thank you :)

Vanessa was very patient as usual, and even gave me an extra wee trip right at the end! Again a 10/10. Thank you for giving me the confidence to use my machine Vanessa. See you again soon. (I might try vinyl next) . Would definitely recommend these wee classes for anyone who has a Cricut.

Only downside was my advent house was broken and I had no fact sheet.

There wasn't enough to time to go in depth with some of the lettering , towards the end it got a little rushed. Overall I enjoyed the workshop.

Joy Moss • Sep 2021

Great tutor who was full of techniques and tips as well as continually encouraging us.
Just wish that I could rewatch the hour session as it was hard to paint and listen and watch her at the same time!

Sophie Washington • Sep 2021

Chrissie was absolutely amazing! Would definitely book another session in the future and recommend to anyone who has any Cricut-related questions.

Gillian Lipman • Sep 2021

A very nicely presented class. Particularly good for newcomers to watercolour painting. The tutor was clear and informative. However there could have been a greater control over the length of remarks from participants which slowed things down a bit. Otherwise an enjoyable and rewarding hour.

Ellie McKee • Sep 2021

I enjoyed the workshop, though the finished product wasn't exactly the same as the one on the promotional material––ours was wider, covering a larger area of the paper, which I felt didn't look quite as good. Having a reference image in one corner of the video might have been helpful. Or being shown a couple of different examples to start with.

Lorna Kelly • Sep 2021

Belinda Howell • Sep 2021

Feeling much more comfortable trying out different stitches now. Also helped me get the right tension which has been holding me back a lot!

Julie Taylor • Sep 2021

This was my first ever Zoom call but Christie was very patient with me.
We had a couple of technical issues towards the end but the content was great and I learnt a lot.
Money well spent and I shall do another one.

Linda Costa • Sep 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews

I have had a few lessons has a beginner.

I had not had any more lessons since the start of the year and took this was a refresher. I also did learn a more things about my machine.

The teacher was quite informative and explained things as clearly as she could and had two different models of sewing machines to show people with
. The class was rather large, so there were a few people who were complete novices slightly struggled, to begin with.

However the teacher offered to check information with them and go through things. She answered questions and demonstrated on the camera. The camera itself was a little out of focus on occasions.

This was a technical cliche.

I would recommend these classes, to other people. They are a good place to springboard off to do other classes.

The price is very reasonable and good for those who are on a tight budget.

I will be doing other classes with Hobby Craft, in the very near future
Thank you

Carol Plume • Sep 2021

Great kit, thought the class rather weak and was taken over by the mumbling, sighing and private chat of another participant….

Nikki Hall • Sep 2021

And very patient but I did struggle a little bit to keep up this may be due to not really using water colour before and being my first class since gcse

Pack was good and arrived in plenty of time. Class felt a little rushed and impersonal, but it was the first time I’ve done a live online course so maybe that’s normal. I was unable to join the session through my laptop for some reason and had to do it on my phone. Was good to watch the letters being physically written.

Very relaxed atmosphere but informative and at a steady pace - thoroughly enjoyed it. Hope to be able to do more workshops as I improve my technique. Becki was very clear and the pace she went at enabled us to practice with her.

for a first class it was nice to get basic information about watercolour compared to other mediums and how to use the cards and then go on to the painting.
Nice and relaxing. Tutor was laid back and took her time to explain and wait for attendees to all catch up together. Would do another class with her.

Having never painted before let alone with watercolours I was a little nervous about the online class but it was brilliant. Beth was very patient and knowledgeable and the class was set at a good pace (slow enough to keep up but not too slow). This was my first Hobbycraft workshop and I can’t wait till the next one I have signed up to!

Well packaged box of goodies-the brush pens write beautifully. Good class with friendly host to instruct well. Time ran away a bit and the end was a little rushed.

Katherine Eaton • Sep 2021

Felicity Clarke • Sep 2021

Great Workshop! Becki was very clear and helpful and went at just the right pace. She broke the letters down into easy steps, which made it much easier to reproduce the results. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to learn brush lettering. Becki took requests for names and words that people would like to learn how to write too. Loved the pens that came in the craft kit!

The class was great, the speed was good and Becki was very clear. The pens were a delight to use and I’m off now to practise!

Megan Fitzgerald • Sep 2021

I loved this workshop! Becki was really great. Informative and friendly and it was such a lovely hour of brush lettering. I woul love to see an intermediate class as this has seriously made me want to develop and learn more of this craft! Thank Becki and thanks Hobbycraft for doing this workshop would really recommend!

I absolutely loved the Brush Lettering online workshop! It was much easier than trying to learn using books, & the resources sent were perfect! I have already been using the skills learned to enhance my business, & have even figured out how to transfer the skills I learned to a digital format :)

Quality products arrived by post and then the online course was a small group, with time for questions and to observe the techniques used. I need some more practice but am already getting to grips with the brush lettering.

Excellent course. Well presented. Great pack with everything you needed.
The only thing I thought the paper that was provided was a little to thick for seeing the letters through.
But a lovely way to spend an hour
Thank you

Great! Emma has a good voice, not too shrill. Comes across very well.
I had done calligraphy before and I wanted to see the difference. This is much easier and more forgiving because you can go over your lettering to correct little flaws. Pens are good too! Enjoyed it. Now to practise

William Gulland • Sep 2021

It was a good and informative course. I felt that too much information was being supplied in the time available. Thought Becki was clear in her descriptions but, because of the time factor a little hurried. The equipment supplied was adequate. My experience of the course has not inspired me to venture seriously into brush lettering.

Fantastic class. Really enjoyed it and Emma Hunt was great. For an online class it was really clear, well paced and I loved Emma's little personal touches to the session. I thought it looked really easy but it's definitely a technique that takes practise. Emma's tips and techniques were really helpful. I will definitely be booking onto more and will try and bring friends to book on with me.
Big thank you to Emma

I really enjoyed the class and feel Sara was a patient teacher taking her time to explain the process step by step. She repeated some points which served to remind me what and why I was doing something. A good course which I am looking forward to practising on with my fabulous kit.

Katie Cole • Sep 2021

Chrissie is super knowledgeable and friendly. She gave me some excellent tips and helped me get started with my new Cricut Joy. Im a total beginner and she explained everything patiently and succinctly. Would definitely recommend and will be booking another hour with her soon. Thanks Chrissie ⭐

Excellent workshop. Have to say it was quite difficult as I've never done brush lettering before, but with practice I may just get it! Really fun and lots of tips for getting the letters to look good. The practice cards supplied are really handy, so I will be using those to practice the lettering and brush strokes. The pens are fab, lovely metallic colours, will be using them for the gift tags that were included.

Suzanne Robinson • Sep 2021

Really helpful session to get you started on this hobby. Nice and easy to do on line and the kit had everything needed to start practicing and to make some gift labels. Thank you.

Chrissie was an amazing teacher, I have only used my maker a couple of times but she went over design space with me and I have learnt so much. I now have the confidence and knowledge needed to make party decorations for my granddaughters 1st Birthday. Will definitely be back for another hour class

Celia Potter • Sep 2021

3 ClassBento workshops attended • 3 reviews

Learnt some good tips! I use an iPad for design space but unfortunately when Crissie was using her iPad to demonstrate it was very difficult to see what was actually on her screen! I’m reasonably confident in what I’m doing as I also have a Maker but I can imagine for people not knowing what they’re doing or who are looking into Cricut before purchasing that could be a little off putting although I appreciate that was beyond her control!

A brilliant workshop and I loved the craft kit box, it was full of goodies and plenty left-over for lots more bracelets., so very good value. There were a variety of bracelets we made from using pipe cleaners to fine threads, so covers a range of abilities. The teacher was very patient & went over details when needed. Can’t wait for my next workshop.

Sara Evans • Sep 2021

I was a complete novice at any kind of painting before this class. I loved the way that the techniques were explained clearly and that time could be taken could answer questions as we went along. At the end of the class I had produced a better painting than I could have imagined at the beginning. This has inspired me to take painting up as a hobby. Thank you, Hobbycraft!

Sara Evans • Sep 2021

A really helpful class. Becki explained clearly how to use the brush markers to obtain thick and thin lines and how to write the upper and lower case alphabets to optimise the effects of the brush markers.

Marcia Robinson • Sep 2021

Booking on to session was easy. All the resources arrived in plenty of time and the quality of the resources were good. The session itself was brilliant. The pace was appropriate and interaction during the session was welcomed. I attended the beginners session, would welcome an intermediate session. Would I recommend this course.
DEFINITELY ❤️

Lindsey Blake • Sep 2021

Brilliant
Chrissie is so lovely, and I found the lesson really helpful.
I am very new to Cricut, so it’s a great way to get learning it’s one to one, and you can ask for help about your own project.
I would highly recommend a lesson.
Great service offered. Thank you

Claire James • Sep 2021

A great session, super supportive, fun, informative and even virtually it felt so inclusive and not like we were missing anything!
Huge thanks to our tutor too for being so lovely and talented!

Christy McAllister • Sep 2021

Knowledgeable and kind, Christie is an excellent resource! I asked the most basic of questions as im the most basic of users: “what can I do?”

Chrissie showed me how to introduce more “complicated” things into my crafts, and she showed me they were really quite simple!

I learned how to foil, layer (using the slice technique to minimise vinyl waste), cut and roll paper flowers, do etching, and loads of other design space tips n tricks.

So much in just an hour Thank you for all the ideas. Now to just get cracking

The course itself was great, although unfortunately my kit didn’t arrive in time. I was offered the opportunity to attend a later class but decided to go ahead. Very clear instruction and the kit looks good - looking forward to receiving mine eventually!

Jackie Jones • Sep 2021

I was disappointed with the class in comparison to other classes I’ve participated in. We copied the letters which we’d been sent in advance, which I’d already undertaken, so the only benefit I got was when we started to join letters together. I’m afraid this is too expensive todo what we did. Also I think you should send clear instructions out with the pack. If you did this and participants practiced the letters on the script sheet, there would be more time to construct words and decorative writing.

Sue Buckley • Sep 2021

A really good introduction to brush lettering. I was particularly impressed with the equipment pack so that we had everything(and more) that we needed. Becki’s instructions were clear and supported by the view from her overhead camera were easy to follow. Looking forward to honing my skills.

Keryn Laver • Sep 2021

Becky was a good demonstrator and kept checking people were keeping up with her.
Good equipment sent ahead and we all have the material to carry on practising.
Inspiring.

I would love a more advanced class please. Esp on letter positioning as they 'bounce' in the words.

Thank you very much

Claire Hirst • Sep 2021

Really enjoyed this class, materials sent are of good quality. There are practice sheets available on the hobbycraft website similar to what is in the kit to try brush lettering but having each letter broken down for you to follow on this course made it much easier

Twyla Christians • Sep 2021

Amazing class instructor in showing us the beginning class on how to do brush painting. Was excellent, she was slow in showing us the strokes so that we could capture exactly how to hold our brush pen and when to and not to press pressure while writing.
Thanks

Lauren Wilcox • Sep 2021

The class was great, I got my kit and day or so before and we had the link to the zoom meeting early. We all joined the meeting and the hobbycraft host was lovely and very talented, we practiced on our lettering on the practice sheets then on the special bleed-proof paper. I am excited to use this new skill at Christmas on cards and gift tags etc.

Chetali Patel • Sep 2021

The course was very good, I found it easy to follow and it definitely taught me some valuable tips. I had fallen into some bad habits by teaching myself brush lettering so this course helped me understand the basics.

Sara Hodges • Sep 2021

Great insight into Brush lettering! Resources we fab…can’t wait to start my new hobby!

Julie Seift • Sep 2021

Really enjoyed the course. Only thing that would make it better would be for the example letters to have been on the right hand side of the page. As a left hander, I found it difficult because my hand covered up the letters.

Chloe Drewry • Sep 2021

The class was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Brush lettering is something that I will continue to practice and develop my skills.

As a Cricut beginner, I had many questions about which would be the best machine for my needs and what a novice, such as myself, could realistically be able to achieve. Vanessa was an absolute joy! She patiently listened to all my questions and explained everything fully, even showing me how to use the software and make some labels. I can't thank Vanessa enough, she has made me feel confident enough to buy a Cricut machine and start crafting! I would highly recommend this workshop.

Thanks Charlotte for a fab workshop. I learned lots and look forward to experimenting with watercolour. Would have loved a longer lesson but you covered a lot in the hour without making me feel rushed. Would highly recommend to first timers. Maybe an animal one next time

Charlotte White • Sep 2021

Was so much fun and interesting to learn what we went over. Would do again

Chloe Higginbottom • Sep 2021

Clear instructions. Given plenty of camera angles and time to ask questions. Will be booking onto another one for button sewing in the near future.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant Chrissie was so helpful and nice; I learned a lot on the one to one zoom call, even though I couldn't get my webcam to work.

I would defiantly recommend this to all of you crafters out there.

Thanks, Hobbycraft and Chrissie.

John Diver-Morgan • Sep 2021

Loved the class. Becki was very good at showing us how to do all of the letters. Becki was very patient and gave us all time to go through the alphabet. Would recommend the class. Superb. A*

The online class with Chrissie was great today. You have excellent tutors who are very patient and explain everything very clearly. Chrissie was very helpful and continued on the great tuition I had previously had with Vanessa. I have booked in for some further classes and I’m looking forward to some new ideas with vinyl, and the Cricut pens that Chrissie was talking with me about today. Great tip about the brayer too, thanks for that. When I said I would be interested in cutting boxes, Chrissie also told me about the scoring tool that I would need. Great to have all this advice from the experts. Thanks again for a very helpful class Chrissie.

Andrea Pugh • Sep 2021

Did session with my daughter. Felt the intro was too long 15 mins including going through the contents of the box which we’d already opened. We didn’t get to complete all the letters so the time would’ve made a difference. Maybe a few more ideas on where to use the technique and egs of other font styles

Claire Linforth • Aug 2021

Excellent again, super helpful and Chrissie is really knowledgeable and advises really well on all the random different things I asked

Julie Walker • Aug 2021

Loved this class! I am conscious that I gave very little feedback to the class at the time, but this was because it was so absorbing. I have learned some new techniques and will apply them to my own work in the future.
Thank you.

Very easy to follow along with the artisan, good pace and clear demonstration and directions. The hour flew by! Thank you.

Virginia Larsson • Aug 2021

Fabulous class ,instructor was friendly and clear, But maybe was going a wee bit too fast.

That was such a fantastic class. The tutor was clearly an artist in her own right, she was a very calm but assertive tutor that worked at a steady pace. The tutor highlighted herself to ensure when anyone else spoke I did not lose the picture of what she was demonstrating, which was just fantastic. The tutor alone would get 10 stars

Laurie Davidson • Aug 2021

A really fun class and such a nice way to spend an hour. Loved it!

Pippa Hyde • Aug 2021

What a nice way to spend and hour. I wish the course had been longer. The box of materials arrived 5 days before the course so I was able to look through. Generous supplies were provided of paper, brushes and a box of watercolours. Plenty to practise with on future occasions.

Instruction was given by Charlotte who was friendly and encouraging throughout. Lots of techniques were demonstrated and chance given to try them out. The pace of the course was steady and well structured.

I will consider booking another course soon.

Kit is a super starter kit for water colour painting. I booked this course because it was aimed at children and my daughter is 8 and shows an interest in art in general. There were more adults online than children and I felt the course was aimed at them. It was difficult for her to keep up with/watch the instructions and paint at the same time. When you asked a question it was answered clearly and all comments made by there tutor were positive. It may have been useful to know which brushes were going to be used and which colours so that finding them on the pallet was more easy and take less time.
These are my observations, my daughter truly enjoyed the session and embellished her picture further with a sun and finger prints in the sky.
Thanks

Julie Roberts • Aug 2021

Superb, learnt a lot of new skills. It was very refreshing, friendly and welcoming. Fantastic teacher. I would definitely recommend completing the lesson. Real value for money.

Alison Shakespeare • Aug 2021

Amazing tutor, I learnt so much and I am thrilled that I took this course.

Ann Walker • Aug 2021

I enjoyed the class but found it overpriced. Could have learned it online instead of a class.

Emma Porter • Aug 2021

Fantastic course, really enjoyed it.
Well explained, just wish it was longer so we had time to go through the whole alphabet and do the final bit together.

Elaine Govett • Aug 2021

Loved the box that arrived, beautifully wrapped in pink tissue - what a treat - such goodies. The presenter was wonderful, she was relaxed and included everyone and the pace of painting was perfect. I never felt lost or behind and if I did I knew I could ask anything.

Everything was very well explained and demonstrated and it was very clear to see what we were painting as we followed along. We were all painting together and it was totally stress free. Loved it. I would normally feel nervous doing a class but didn't this time, a brilliant experience and very very encouraging. I will carry on painting.

Barbara Flavell • Aug 2021

Fantastic host. She was really clear in what she explained. Definitely will do another course. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it.

Marion Goodfellow • Aug 2021

The teacher was great but unfortunately my video was running behind the audio so it was a bit difficult to keep up. The class was encouraging though even if I did not see everyone’s pictures at the end

Miriam Bruce • Aug 2021

Needed to be longer course at least 2 hours.
Presenter good.
If you do more than one different Beginners Course you will accumulate a lot of paints.

Hannah Joynt • Aug 2021

Absolutely loved this session, the young lady was so lovely and was constantly asking if everyone was OK or needed help. Really pleased with how my picture turned out for a first go. Will look into other sessions in the future!

Melissa Bronger • Aug 2021

My daughter loved being able to make such a wonderful dream catcher and chat to the teacher as she made it. Instructions given very well and the lady was so lovely making sure both children knew what they were doing. Also the kit was great. Will be able to make a couple more now we know how

Gillian Harrison • Aug 2021

Go a little slower when doing the examples but perhaps instead of doing the whole alphabet give some examples of ways to use the writing.

Louise Langsworthy • Aug 2021

Great session which introduced me to lettering style and format. Workshop lead was informative and friendly. She was familiar with the technology so was able to mute participants who were struggling etc. Love the branded pack I got in the post too - got me really excited for the session! My first attempt is not bad for a total beginner but I found names much easier than words for some reason!

Becki was very patient and explained clearly. Having two cameras for different angles was useful.

Would definitely recommend as an introductory class.

Sejuti Roy • Aug 2021

I had booked this for my 12 year old. The instructor was lovely & the kit was great quality & arrived on time. My daughter did learn a few things, but it went a bit fast for her to retain all the stuff that was taught. If the recording of the class could be sent to her, it would help in better retention & she could go back to it when she felt the need.

I feel confident that with more practice I will perfect my handwritten lettering to give professional looking results.

Would love to do an intermediate class in brush lettering in the future, or possibly a Christmas-themed workshop.

Thank you!

Linda Patterson • Aug 2021

Too much time was spent on doing every single letter of the alphabet, which was not necessary and then time could have been spent learning how to join letters together as well.

Fran Talbot • Aug 2021

Becki was very kind and generous with her words. Good instruction on looking at the strokes as shapes as opposed to the letter itself.

Emma Pickworth • Aug 2021

Very much enjoyed the class, Emma made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions. The choice to have camera and mic on/off was really nice as I know some of my friends still struggle with video calls with strangers. Emma took her time showing us the letters and made sure we had time to ask questions, really well delivered.
The pack arrived in plenty of time, felt so special opening it, it was beautifully packaged.
I think I will be getting a vouchers for a class for my friends and family at Christmas. :) THANK YOU

A good practical workshop for a small group of participants which enabled everyone to ask questions, and get answers to specific queries. The placement of cameras enabled us to follow the demonstrations and and computer screens as she explained the basics of Design Space clearly. Chrissie was very personable and packed a lot into the hour. I'm looking forward to learning more at my next workshop, Cricut Design Space, next week.

Daisy Stein • Aug 2021

Brenda Smith • Aug 2021

Good to have a demo (Zoom) to get guidance on using new products and gain a new skill. For the price it’s great tuition and materials - I’ve got brush pens, gift tags, template and paper to carry on practicing and being creative.

Pamela Holter • Aug 2021

I certainly need to practise a lot before I attempt lettering on the book.

The materials sent out prior to the class were so helpful and will the practice sheets will be a good tool for improving formation of the letters. Becki carefully demonstrated and explained and we were able to see exactly what she was doing as she described. Good pace and lots of teaching tips. Really feel like I improved and learnt during the session. Now - just to practise, practise, practise

Sharon Halleron-Kerr • Aug 2021

The tutor was really knowledgeable and readily answered questions. The class was easy to follow and developed skills along the way. It was definitely value for money.

Sarah Chatters • Aug 2021

I really enjoyed the brush lettering workshop with Becki. All the tools provided and Becki's clear instructions and demonstrations have given me, as a beginner, a great start. I have gained skills which I can use straight away and I am confident that I have learned something that I will improve at with practice and which I can see many uses for in the future.

Becki was so lovely and user-friendly. I was off camera as feeling so ill with COVID but she responded instantly to my request to slow down a bit! A fabulous beginners class.

A good way of learning the technique.
More online classes please! Great for those of us with limited mobility.

Sheila Miles • Aug 2021

Becki has a lovely approach and put us all at ease very quickly. It is obviously going to take a lot of practice but it was fun and I really enjoyed myself. Craft kit is excellent

Ekey Shocker • Aug 2021

Excellent session with Becky, she was really good at explaining the different letters and going over any difficult ones.

Thank you!

Becki is brilliant at teaching. I loved the class, plenty to practice! The only thing I found was that the screen wasn’t that clear, but I think it was probably internet issues.

Really good quality materials.
Becki explained everything really well and I thoroughly enjoyed the class.

Alice Akiga • Aug 2021

Really hard to pick up crochet online. You miss bits flitting between screen and checking your hands and hook are doing the right thing. A real pity as she was so looking forward to it but in person I think is the only way it would work. Or release a recording of it afterwards so you can pause it. Tutor fine, just format not ideal

Maria Steer • Aug 2021

Lovely class, very informative, totally recommend. I am now hooked on lettering! Can’t wait to actually include it in all my crafting ideas.
Thankyou Becki ❤️

Thank you

Mia Pennington • Aug 2021

My daughter really enjoyed the lesson and the package arrived earlier than expected.
Tutor was very helpful but screen was a bit blurry at times so it made it difficult to see.
I would recommend this activity to others in it was a good price too.

The instructor was great, the course was really good. The quantity and quality of the products was better than expected. My son really enjoyed the tasks and loves the finished product. My son (8) did struggle with a lot of the tasks and needed supervision but this wasn't a negative to the instructor, I think most of the kids needed extra help.

The class was fab, Luca was fully engaged for the full hour. The pace was nice and slow and whenever anyone wanted the lady to repeat a step she did. The lady running it was lovely.

Jo McLaren • Aug 2021

It was pitched just right for the age range specified. One technique with variations so it was suitable for all abilities. Video and audio presentation was easy to follow. Craft kit contained lots of supplies so we can have lots of fun afterwards too!

The workshop was good. I found it a little difficult to get the right shades so that it got darker towards the front but not too dark. I am a little slower than some other people because I like to concentrate and at times I felt like the artisan was going a bit quick but when I had questions or concerns she was able to reassure me. I feel I gained great experience doing this and I am looking forward to practicing on my own. The main issue was that there were issues getting an artisan for our 13:30 start. This then caused a delay and the workshop was postponed until 15:00, which wasn't an issue for me. Overall I very much enjoyed it and I look forward to doing some watercolour projects.

Bola Akinola • Aug 2021

He was a great, attentive and very patient tutor. He’s even willing to carry on with the session if not for the time limit

Roy Wells • Aug 2021

Charlotte, was confident and friendly, shoed and explained well what needed to be done, and took time to answer questions. She was also very encouraging.

Jacqueline Chesney • Aug 2021

Really enjoyable, the tutor went at a slow pace so it was easy to keep up. Everything was explained and it was very useful to be able to see the tutor painting to demonstrate to us the procedures and methods etc. Would recommend to anyone with no experience of water colour painting (like myself). Also small group so questions/comments could be made easily.

Madeline Dossor • Aug 2021

This workshop has given me the confidence to really get started with my new sewing machine. I have realised that the machine is actually easier to use than my 40 my year old one, although it looks more complicated. The Hobbycraft Artisan was knowledgeable, but went at a nice steady pace, so it was very easy to understand. It has inspired me to try the exercises on the practice templates and I am looking forward to joining more workshops when they are available.

Helen Shade • Aug 2021

I learnt a lot and can’t wait to put my new knowledge into practice. Thank You

Anita Brewer • Aug 2021

Very good presenter, great demo and explanation. It will make me get my machine plugged in for the first time

The class was really helpful and Vanessa was excellent. 10/10. She explained everything really clearly and just at the pace I needed. She also told me about other classes and the Hobbycraft ideas for Cricut. She gave me advice on other items I might need to work with the Cricut too, tools etc. I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. I will look forward to learning more and taking more classes in the future. Thank you for organising this.

Kate Ballard-King • Aug 2021

My daughter enjoyed this. She has learnt and still practicing at home. Will book another course

Jacinta Tan • Aug 2021

We were mostly total beginners and mostly rather nervous self deprecating middle aged women just trying something new! Beth was fantastic - very friendly, patient, answered all questions even to repeat what she’d already said. Extremely encouraging. Task was pitched just right - provided multiple techniques in a very short time and a picture to take away and be proud of! Love the format of giving you all the kit you need - buying art supplies when I don’t know what I need is daunting and potentially very expensive! I did really enjoy myself. I adapted the task to reflect my own view from the house rather than just painting a stock image! Suggest you could do follow on workshops or even short courses. Also you can have an option to provide additional materials rather than just get the same basic starter pack for instance if taking a follow on course or a parallel one eg painting flowers.

Vanessa Cumper • Aug 2021

The tutor showed some simple techniques to start me off with watercolours. I found the constant interruptions annoying because the tutor went off-screen. I would like the tutor to learn how to spotlight herself so that she remains on screen so that I can see what she has done. As lovely as the faces of the other participants were I would rather see the painting that I am working from

Mrs Pollard • Aug 2021

Unfortunately my no 12 brush started shedding bristles immediately which was rather difficult.
However learnt some techniques which are very helpful to spur me on to do more!
Great to be able to ask questions.
Love doing new crafts. Very satisfying.

Mary Evans • Aug 2021

I found the class really enjoyable, Beth is a lovely tutor easy to understand and she was very happy to answer any questions during the course.

A very happy hour spent, very professional and the products sent were beautifully packaged.
Thank you

Delilah Frampton • Aug 2021

Lovely kit sent by post but the tutorial was not a tutorial it was more of a “watch how I do it and see if you can manage” There are many videos on YouTube that go slower with more zoomed in tutorials. My daughter really struggled and couldn’t get help to reflect on where she was going wrong. It ended in tears sadly and was not the positive learning experience I had hoped for her.

Sue Coot • Aug 2021

Great class very clear instruction, lots of useful tips and engaging teacher. Thoroughly recommend and will be booking another soon. Thank you

Michele Walket • Aug 2021

Beth made you feel at ease with painting. Her instructions were clear and easy to follow and checked at each step that we were all ok with it. The techniques she showed us will allow me to broaden how I use watercolour paints in the future with landscape pictures. Thoroughly enjoyed the session and will be joining further courses. Thank you!

Sue Boden • Aug 2021

Really clear instructions, fantastic demonstration step by step. Easy to follow. Learnt how to apply watercolour for different techniques ie wet on wet, wet on dry. The hour passed very quickly and I am very pleased with my landscape picture. Will definitely do more of these online crafting courses. It was so enjoyable. Many thanks.

Jean Sinclair • Aug 2021

Tutor was great but one hour is not long enough and the workshop felt rushed.

Denise Dale • Aug 2021

Millie was an excellent teacher. It was a fun and educational workshop. I did feel I needed more time, as there was quite a lot to do. However, if a video or step by step follow up sheet is sent afterwards that would be helpful to re-visit and go at my own pace. Good fun, good value,excellent pack sent in time. Thank you for running these on-line courses in the pandemic.

Adelyn Chung • Aug 2021

Really loved it. It was a bit tricky, however the results were positive! Thanks HobbyCraft for the event!

Sally Kent • Aug 2021

Attended as considering buying a machine and there was not enough information for a beginner., some information was quite detailed. Would have liked some demonstration on machine itself and actually making something from beginning to end not highlights. Felt it wasn't really a beginner's course in that respect.

My sewing machine is a 50 year old Singer (still going strong). So, as I realised what the course was going to demonstrate, I thought it wouldn't be much use to me. However, I did get some useful tips and it has inspired me to do some practising with the machine and buttonhole foot that I have. The teacher also demonstrated how to make a buttonhole without a special foot and this was helpful.

Chrissie was brilliant! She really made sure to go through everything with detail and told me a few tips and tricks along the way. Would really recommend anyone who is new to their Cricut to join a one to one class with Chrissie.

Judi Hesse • Aug 2021

Chrissie did a great presentation and loves what she does. It was clear throughout her workshop. For a short one-hour presentation, I gained a lot of useful information. I wasn’t sure it would be worth it and thought about not dialing in. I’m glad I did make the zoom call. Will definitely be looking at other workshops at Hobbycraft.

Rachel King • Aug 2021

The top down camera was really good and helpful. I could see everything she was doing and she named everything she used and when she was using it. She answered all of the questions put to her and shared great knowledge about the paint and techniques. The only thing i would change is that it went along a bit fast but there was a lot to fit in and it wasn't expected to be 100% finished by the end anyway, so that's good. Learnt some things about gouache i didn't know before. Workshop was very enjoyable, thankyou.

Maybe a bit tricky for 11 year olds,and all a little bit too fast

Vidette Clarke • Aug 2021

It was a good zoom workshop on painting. The art packs arrived in boxes about 3 times too big for the amount of supplies so it had alot of packaging. The only thing I would have liked would have been for them to show how to paint the flowers at the front, as my eldest got upset when they where told to draw any flower they wanted as she didn't know how to draw any flower but overall my kids enjoyed it.

The host was very good, but the video recording was out of focus when doing close-ups. During the demo, every time someone made a noise as they kept the mic on, their window shows instead of the host. And I couldn't see what the host was showing.

I enjoyed the workshop today. The tutor was fab, she explained things really well and kept asking how we were doing throughout the lesson.
It was my first time doing any painting since school so very out of practice! I made some mistakes but realised why and next time I will do things a little differently. The products supplied to carry out the workshop are of very good quality and there is plenty there to create some masterpieces at a later date .
I would definitely recommend this workshop, give it a go!

My daughter and her friend did it together. They loved their kits and really enjoyed painting. Found the instructions easy to listen to, understand and follow. Have booked the water colour painting flowers already!

My 7 year old loved this class - it was pitched at just the right level and the presenter was lovely and friendly. It was great having a box with all the materials and extra too so she can go and try out the new skills she's learnt in the class.

My box of starter materials provided arrived in time and beautifully presented. Charlotte was fantastic, explaining each step as she went! I will havve another go on my own tto practise.

Jan Ashton • Aug 2021

Enjoyed the class very much. It has inspired me to do more painting. Thank you Aimee

A Gooding • Aug 2021

Course materials arrived a few days before the class. Nicely presented, albeit in an unnecessarily large box padded out with extra packaging. Course itself covered mixing colours, some brush techniques and touched on perspective. Sometimes challenging to keep up, but tutor responded well to the kids, allowing a little more time before moving on. Happy child, nice picture and leftover materials for more practice. Good value, would recommend.

I found it really enjoyable and Aimee did a great job of explaining what to do, step-by-step. When she first showed us what we would be painting, I didn't think that mine would end up looking like that, but it did. It has given me the confidence to enrol in a watercolour painting course at our local art centre.

Well managed, with clear instructions on each step of the painting. Patient working with the younger children who were slightly slower

Megan Matthews • Aug 2021

I liked the class, however could have done with some music in the background as long silences and the instructor went pretty fast, but overall I managed to create a nice picture and learn a new skill :)

I wasn't able to partake in the zoom class I couldn't access sound & the picture kept freezing I checked my head phones and could access sound from other means but not the zoom meeting . So for me the class was of no use .

Really great class for beginners, as someone who had no idea what they were doing before the class I now understand the basics of how to use my machine and I can't wait to learn more! The leader of the session was really helpful and knowledgeable too.

Was the timing a little out, the sheets suggested we would do basic sewing which I was hoping for. But after 45 mins threading the machine was still being covered.
