It was extremely helpful, I had a brilliant instructor. She gave loads of general sewing tips and many that were specific to the machine I asked her to demonstrate. Thank you!

Helen Ferguson Apr 2024


The workshop with Susan was brilliant and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is a beginner at sewing.
Susan taught us how to set up the machine and then ran us through all the different stitch types (including stretch stitches). My daughter Rosie then had the chance to practice each stitch and even had a go at making a buttonhole which she managed easily.
We both learnt so much and I cannot recommend Susan highly enough, thank you! Helen and Rosie xx

Karen Smith Apr 2024


The class was very helpful, the lady who took the class amazing and very knowledgeable. The sawgrass was running out of ink so the gift wasn’t the best outcome. But she didn’t have time to put new ink into the sawgrass as class was only half hour long.

The tutor, Susan, was lovely So helpful and patient.

It was also very good value as we were given about £10 worth of materials to take home.

Lauren Apr 2024


Sue was really helpful throughout, answered any questions or queries we had. Some bits we struggled on and she explained it all so clearly. She was very patient and kind.

Dot Apr 2024


Really enjoyed the workshop.Straightforward instruction and we produced some great looking and varied canvases. Looking forward to collecting them once they are dry. Plenty of space to work. Good value for money, would recommend.

Charlotte Portwood Apr 2024


My just-turned 2 year old and nearly 5 year old loved this “Kids printmaking on canvas” class. Thanks to the wonderful instructor, they were able to join in with the activities and both came away with a lovely colourful canvas each (although only one was a recognisable picture!). I enjoyed watching them get messy and not having to clean up my house! Excellent value for money for the peace of mind and entertainment for an hour of the school holidays.

Judith Cage Apr 2024


Our teacher Rebecca was great. Patient and friendly with straightforward instructions. The materials were plentiful.
Lovely afternoon out.

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


The class was really informative and Rebecca was on hand to answer any questions we had

Natasha McIntyre Apr 2024


My teacher was incredibly helpful and showed me how to set up and use my sewing machine. She was able to answer every question that I had and was very patient with me.

Linda Boon Apr 2024


I loved this class! I’ve tried a few times to learn crochet and always failed but this time I got the hang of it. Great teaching by Rebecca

Gillian Coyle Apr 2024


The class was AMAZING. Just four of us in the group, and we were all knitters, so we had similar expectations, errors and experience.

The teacher was fabulous: she gave us one-on-one guidance and help, let us stretch our skills a teeny bit, and was so encouraging.

The materials provided were decent beginner standard; the teacher gave us recommendations for tools as we progress in the craft.

This is the second Hobbycraft craft class I've done, and I honestly can't recommend them highly enough. Very reasonably priced, well-taught and fun taster sessions.

Beginner's Guide to Crochet review by Gillian Coyle - Leeds

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


The class was ok, not sure if it is worth £4/5 per person. Jess the tutor was ok not the most engaging person with the kids and had the feeling she was told to do the class and didn’t really want to do it. Based on this not sure if I would book any more workshops for the kids

April Apr 2024


The teacher was very helpful and very kind, we really enjoyed the clay monster session

April Apr 2024


The teacher was awesome and we loved the monsters and spring animals, Jack and Lily loved it.

Janine Keates Apr 2024


School holiday activity great fun very friendly girl took the class really helpful and interacted with the children

Helen Douglas Apr 2024


Our first visit and it wont be our last. Jessy was my daughter's teacher and she was lovely. She ended up being the only attendee, so we had a great 121 experience. Jessy was very friendly, explained things well and was great with my daughter. Very enjoyable class and would definitely recommend.

Tracey Rogers Apr 2024


My children really enjoyed this workshop. Jessy was lovely with all of the children. Thank you.

Lesley Pittard Apr 2024


The instructor was hurrying everyone up to work quickly which with young children isn’t always possible.
The supplies were a good choice of colours and availability. The children enjoyed it.

Thetis Abela Apr 2024


Teacher was great but it seemed like the plan of how to make the prints with paper wasn't very effective. My kids had a great time though

Claire Apr 2024


Great kids craft session. Granddaughter really enjoyed it. Teacher was very helpful and friendly. Great value for money.

Surina Apr 2024


Thank you, Jessy.
The workshop was fun, my little one loved it. Beautiful wand and flower.

Debbie Walters Mar 2024


I have a cricut for a long time and never used itha I decided to have a one to one with Rebecca. What a time I had! Rebecca was very knowledgeable and an amazing tutor. I was ready to play and away I went. Would have loved more time. I guess I will booking more classes.

Christine Micklefield Mar 2024


Sue our instructor was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and patient. The class of 5 was perfect size which meant Sue could easily spend enough time with each of us in turn. I've been knitting since I was very young, so probably for about 60 years, but wanted to see if I was able to learn crochet. After the class I now feel confident to pursue this new skill! I would highly recommend this class and it's definitely good value for money.

Jennifer Sellars Mar 2024


Teacher was brilliant, gave lots of time to explain techniques. Loved the materials provided. Great meeting the other attendees - able to support each other as some were complete beginners whilst others had some experience but needed refresher. I came away confident I could start a projrct

Really nice introduction. Our teacher was patient and knew different ways to show us until we got it. I was impressed by how much I managed and the time flew by

Katrina Bowker Mar 2024


Really lovely sessions held at hobbycraft leeds. Groups are small so it feels more personal and calm. Susan our teacher is awesome and so great with all the kids. My daughter really enjoyed making her hat and has asked to go back already!

Kids' Easter Bonnet Making review by Katrina Bowker - Leeds

Helena Mar 2024


I was made to feel welcome from the start and no question or query was an issue. As a complete beginner, I was really anxious that I wouldn’t be able to take it all in but I have come away feeling really confident that I now know the basics to get me started with using a sewing machine! I have already started making small items at home. I just wish I hadn’t waited so long to book on! Thank you so much!

Sam Mar 2024


We booked the Easter bonnet session for our 3 year old as she has an Easter bonnet competition at nursery. We usually do one at home but end up spending a fortune on supplies that we don't use all of and the rest go to waste. We were given a bonnet and a lot of different decorations to choose from which gave my daughter loads of freedom to choose what she would like to do which she loved (and I loved not having to clean up afterwards!). Natasha (our teacher) was super friendly and helpful, providing little tips and assistance to help the kids make fun decorations. The class was amazing value for money and we loved every second of it. My daughter loved her finished hat too! Highly recommend

Kids' Easter Bonnet Making review by Sam - Leeds

Lesley Pittard Mar 2024


It was a fun filled craft session, all materials were provided and adults needed for hot glue guns. My child had lots of fun learning how to make grass from foam, flowers from pipe cleaners & how to attach tissue paper to the straw hat. It was value for money

Lotte Mar 2024


We did the Easter wreath workshop at Hobby craft today ️ There were lots of nice people at the workshop and the staff member was kind and attentive. I would recommend these workshops as a great Saturday morning activity to do with a friend

Floristry class review by Lotte - Leeds

Claire Higham Mar 2024


It was good, the instructor was lovely, very helpful and enthusiastic. The materials we used were good quality and easy to put together. The only draw back, for me, was the overall size not big enough.

Ashleigh Feb 2024


Me and my friend did a beginners crochet class with Sue, who was a brilliant teacher. She was so friendly & clear with her instructions, letting us take it at our own pace. Would recommend if anyone is thinking of trying, Sue will make you feel right at ease!

Samuel Reynolds Feb 2024


Really great time! Charlie was awesome, had such a lovely date night and will be looking to do it again.

Amanda Tan Feb 2024


There were only 3 of us in the class, so we had enough one-to-one time. Sue was patient and encouraging, but it took time to get the hang of how to hold the wool and hook, and the tension in the wool. We managed to learn to start and cast on, and double and treble stitch. Initially I'd thought the class expensive, but after the class I feel it was a good start and I may be motivated to continue. Many thanks Sue.

Amelia Thomas Feb 2024


. Treat for gran Kind, funny, helpful,.lots of ideas good painting a canvas because first time painting canvas. Yeah very good value of money. I loved painting

Anonymised ClassBento student Feb 2024


Becky was very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained features of sewing machine well. Looking forward to booking again.

Becky Walker Feb 2024


Kids really enjoyed it. Friendly teacher who really wanted everyone to enjoy the workshop. Fantastic

Emma Feb 2024


A fabulous start to the half term. We went to the rainbow bead workshop with Rebecca in the Leeds branch. All materials were out ready for us before we arrived and we got started on time. Rebecca was brilliant, very enthusiastic and offered oodles of help to all of the children in the group.

30 minutes would not have been enough to do this activity, but Rebecca told us not to worry as her next workshop wasn't straight away, meaning we had some extra time to finish off. We were very grateful for that extra time. Boxes were given to take the rainbows home, which was very helpful as they are not very sturdy at the beginning as the clay doesn't dry straight away.

My children and their friend really enjoyed their workshop. It kept 5 and 11 year olds interested and it was excellent value for money!

Kimberley Cuthbertson Feb 2024


My children really enjoyed this class. They loved the selection of beads and how they were able to be as creative as they like. The staff member hosting was very friendly and helpful.

Uzma Rafiq Feb 2024


The tutor was really kind and good at giving instructions. I learnt how to make a traditional granny square, step by step. I am definitely going to do this again.

Janine Ramsay Feb 2024


I attended the class this morning in Leeds, having no knowledge of the Cruicut machine I had previously purchased. The one to one class was perfect as we could run through the specifics I wanted to learn and home in on the skills and materials and tools required to achieve successful vinyl cutting.
It was very informative, clear and concise, delivered at the correct pace, excellent value for money and I left feeling more confident.

Tracey Hopkinson Jan 2024


Fab will definitely book again with Rebecca! Very friendly staff in the rest of the store too.

Claire Moran Jan 2024


Absolutely fabulous lesson. I went through button holes then stitches on my machine. Excellent teacher and would definitely book another. Everything explained so well.

Katie Jan 2024


As complete novices, Susan was a very patient teacher, always happy to help out and suggest alternative methods if necessary.
A lovely tote bag with some wool and a crochet needle provided, alongside a few instructions - all to take home.

Elizabeth Jan 2024


Tutor was extremely knowledgable and honest. Before we decided to make the purchase I needed to see the machine in action.

The session answered all my inner worries and we will be making a purchase.

Toni Alli Jan 2024


Venue was good, teacher was welcoming and catered to us. We were provided with equipment and all in all the session was great.

Kathryn Noblett Jan 2024


Susan was an excellent teacher and very patient. She helped us with exactly what we wanted and the course was excellent value for money. Will definitely check out the range of workshops hobbycraft has to offer

Anita Jan 2024


Really enjoyed this very informative class and learnt a great deal! From no knowledge of crochet stitches I learnt FOUR in this class as well as other relative techniques and tips. The teacher was very patient and helpful (thank you!) and we were given a tote bag, wool and hooks to take away too - another bonus! Would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to learn how to crochet from scratch.

Andrea Jan 2024


It is a brilliant course delivered in a small class setting. The teacher Susan was welcoming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Best of all, by the time I left I felt confident to try a project when I got home—looking forward to developing my newfound skill.

I will definitely be booking on the Granny Squares course in the near future.

Laura Casey-Marten Jan 2024


Rebecca was great, very helpful and patient with us as beginners. Will be booking again

Sarah Wilby Jan 2024


The class was booked for a private group of four. The instructor was knowledgeable and friendly, answering all our questions.
All materials were provided and we were able to take what was left home to continue creating should we wish.The manager was also on hand to assist.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience that i would recommend.

I booked this class for my 3 year old Granddaughter as it was only half an hour long and she loved it. The tutor was so nice and helpful. My Granddaughter now has lovely decorations as keepsakes

Kids' Christmas Decorations review by Joanne Carr - Leeds

Hibah Maryam Dec 2023


Absolutely loved the one to one workshop
Needed guidance on using my cricut and I was given all the answers I needed from design space to material to the actual machine itself! Loved it and would definitely recommend the workshop teacher went above and beyond!

Vikki Lea Dec 2023


Teacher was great with the kids managed to fit in everything my 3year old enjoyed it

Riva Dec 2023


Fabulous workshop with a lovely, friendly teacher (Susan). Ran to time, Sue was generous, helpful, cheerful and informative. She was great with the kids and let the adults get involved too. She also let us spend a little longer than the allocated time and let us use all the leftover materials to make a couple more things which was much appreciated! So pleased.

Gillian Hyde Dec 2023


The teacher was very friendly and knowledgeable she made me feel important and she kept telling me how well I was doing

Morgan Campbell Dec 2023


Amazing session with Susan from the Leeds branch. Susan is an absolute whiz on the machine. I came with several questions about what settings to use on my machine for use of stretchy fabrics. She built my confidence and awareness of many different fuctions within the machine. I was able to get three little projects done within the hour!

Zivia Cunningham Dec 2023


I really enjoyed the class and found it to be really good value. 6 baubles made which I was mostly happy with. I feel a hour wasn't enough time and there could have been more materials/colours provided. The instructor was lovely and really helpful.

Susan Coy Dec 2023


Susan, the teacher, was really friendly, approachable and helpful. My grandson thoroughly enjoyed making his 3 Christmas tree decorations. Glue and glitter would have been great additions, as it's Christmas, but otherwise everything was super. Thank you. We'll be back!

Anonymised ClassBento student Dec 2023


The member of staff was great and demonstrated each activity. The class was just the right length for my 4 and 6 year old. They made three decorations each and they really enjoyed each activity.

Jackie Thornton Dec 2023


Teacher very patient with us went nice and slow till we'd mastered each step.
The only negative thing is it was really cold in the building.

Stephanie Dec 2023


Great teacher, very patient and encouraging. Even though I'm left handed, I was able to get to grips with it and learn how to do double crochet, treble and half treble, and make my own square. Been trying to learn for ages via YouTube and couldn't do it. This was definitely worth it, I may actually be able to make things now!

Linda Beaumont Dec 2023


Absolutely loved this morning the lady teaching us crochet was extremely patient very good and knowledgeable. Really good class time flew by and i now know basics of crochet.
Would highly recommend to anyone any age. My husband joined in and loved it

Alison Haigh Nov 2023


Loved the class. Ideal for maybe ages 6 to 10, but my 12 year old had a great time. Clear instructions from a friendly teacher

Fantastic session the kids really enjoyed it and came away with 2 fabulous clay models.

Michelle Hargreaves Nov 2023


Excellent knowledge and patience
Really enjoyed although I was nervous my nerves soon disappeared
Would highly recommend

Melanie Dixon Nov 2023


They had to send a replacement lady and she did the best she could maybe do extra training so more than 1 person knows how to do the course :-)

Judith High Nov 2023


The teacher engaged my 10 year old granddaughter and explained everything clearly. She went through all aspects of using her sewing machine and let her practise all the different functions. In the hour she also practised a button hole and made a tote bag. Ellie really enjoyed this workshop and it was excellent value.

Chiara Nov 2023


Lovely experience! The workshop lasted the estimated time; Sue, the teacher, was lovely and helped me a lot with the ribbon. All materials were provided and of good quality :)

Rebecca Philip Nov 2023


the class was so much fun, and Charlotte was a great laugh as we made our wreaths

Melissa Swindells Nov 2023


The instructor was fabulous, couldn’t do enough to help and explained everything
When I didn’t like the ribbon provided in the kit she helped me pick another and I ended up purchasing other bits from the store to add to my wreath
Lovely morning out with my best friend

Gillian Nov 2023

This was such a fun class! The artisan very quickly walked us through the basics, and then gave us lots of time to explore the materials and techniques at our own pace. It felt like a really creative space to play with a new craft. They gave us time updates, so we didn't end up rushing, with helpful suggestions at appropriate points in the process. And then, at the very end, we had the fun of making "Frankenbaubles" with spare baubles and the slop bucket. It was just such a great experience, I've already recommended it to crafty friends!

Helen Kirrane Nov 2023


Great workshop, run by a great member of staff. I only wish it was longer!

Sally Pattrik Nov 2023


Great teacher, 1-1 really worked for me, got to ask questions and try out something new

Penny Emmett Nov 2023


Rebecca was super at demonstrating and all the equipment provided was excellent! I would definitely do more workshops

Deborah Duce Nov 2023


Very enjoyable session. Our tutor was very helpful and gave us lots of ideas and suggestions. Thank you!
The only suggestion is that the class could do with being 90 mins.

Andrea Killen Nov 2023


Rachel was brilliant, very knowledgeable, patient and supportive. She took me through all I wanted to know and added hints and tips as well leaving me feeling very confident with what I'm trying to do.

Emma Martin Nov 2023


I was really impressed with what I managed to achieve in an hour and a half. The teacher was very friendly and showed us a number of different stitches. Am now excited to practice what I have learned.

Michelle Street Nov 2023

Kids loved it and made some adorable creations. Thank you will be booking onto other workshops very soon!

Andreia Meadmore Oct 2023


Jessy was good and allowed children to take their time and help when needed.
Store was super organised and tidy with all materials provided for the crafts session.
It was good value for money and my daughter learned how to make spiders and ghosts out of air drying clay. Fab time!

Emma Martin Oct 2023


Great activity and great teacher. Lots of spooky fun. Would definitely recommend doing a class.

Hannah Miller Oct 2023


The class was easy to find, the teacher was friendly and there was sufficient time to complete the craft. My 10 year old son really enjoyed it.

Crown Point Leeds
Sue was very enthusiastic and informative.
This was a birthday gift for my 11 year old granddaughter and I to experience together. We had a great time and came away with lots of ideas. The Box of acrylics was larger than I expected with lots of equipment.
Tips
Take a disposable plastic apron if you can.
We did not make coaster but two 20cm x 25 cm canvas.
All good but I had taken containers for coaster, probably think taking pizza boxes or similar would be best.
As there are no facilities for washing take wipes.
Sue kindly washed all of our pouring cups.
Thank you to all

So patient and knowledgeable sharing her passion and the history of crocheting so freely it was a perfect balance . I just wish it could have been longer.

The teacher was lovely. The venue was in store, but I felt at ease, even though people were shopping.
I was shown all the basics, was advised on my best option for a beginner when purchasing a machine.
All in all an excellent experience, I really enjoyed the lesson and will definitely book more.

Laura Melia Jun 2023


Really enjoyed beginner's crocheting workshop. The teacher, Sue, was really helpful and friendly. The bundle that we received was really great and the workshop was good value for money. Will definitely be back for more workshops.

Rebecca was AMAZING. She knew everything about how to use my Cricut Maker 3. She answered all my questions in an easy to understand way. I am super impressed and very grateful for her patience!

I enjoyed today's lesson. Teacher provided some materials for practice, answered all my questions. It was a pleasure to come. Many thanks

OH MY GOSH! Rebecca (im sorry if that isnt the LOVELY young ladies name - with the amazing hair) was so good I learned everything I wanted to learn and so did my Manager (we use a cricut at work and wanted to learn a few other bits and bobs - hence booking on. She was absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much - we will be back for Crochet classes! :) thanks again!

My daughter really enjoyed her session with Rebecca - she learned to thread the machine and get to grips with the basics and is happily putting it all into practise at home now. Thank you!

Tracy Jenkin Apr 2023


Rebecca was very knowledgeableand explained things well and clearly, going back over things as needed. Thank you for a good class

Raquel Castello Apr 2023


Susan has been very friendly and patient throught the session. She has taught me the basics of machine sewing and a few tips that are difficult to pick up from online tutorials. I really enjoyed this session.

Bev Nicholaides Apr 2023


Rebecca was absolutely awesome. She was friendly, informative, patient, and kind. Her session most definitely was a significant factor in helping me to make the decision purchase £600 worth of Cricut equipment. Rebecca is an absolute asset to Hobby Craft and I hope she’s able to receive this feedback in recognition of all her hard work and commitment. Rebecca was personable and even remembered it was my birthday. She was extremely kind to my 10 year old daughter who was with us and a little fed up.

A really good hour was spent making an Easter bonnet. All materials were provided. Jessy (Leeds Crown Point) was really friendly and helpful. Nothing was any trouble for her and she wasn't overbearing, she let us get on with it, but offered advice at appropriate moments. I will definitely book more activities. I think it was good value for money.

The teacher was lovely and friendly and put my daughter at ease and was good to talk to. The art supplies were a bit basic and something we could have easily done at home. For the price I thought the colours of paint and pencil were a bit limited and I think my daughter was hoping for something special. We have been to one of the free workshops previously and got clay bunny rabbits to paint. I think my daughter was a bit disappointed. I don't mind paying for an art class if it's something we can't do at home.

Jill Bell Feb 2023


Good lesson. Enjoyed. Teacher was fantastic. Very helpful. Could do with a beginners course of 2/3 lessons to nail down what learnt.

Elizabeth Skillings Feb 2023


I really enjoyed this class and my 7 year old grand daughter was able to crochet even though she is left handed

Christina Ward Feb 2023


We were greeted with an individual pack containing all our artists materials. Susan, our teacher, was absolutely lovely. She explained everything clearly and within minutes had us all using watercolours. Have never used these before but even after this one hour class I feel confident enough to continue using them at home. Was apprehensive about the class being open to shoppers walking by but didn’t even notice them as so busy painting. Would highly recommend this to other beginners.

I chose the work shop for cricut Joy,
My teacher was Rebecca, such a lovely lady, nothing was too much trouble she gave me so much information and said I could record on my phone so easy visually to see,
also she set the cricut Joy up and cut with card and Vinyl, showed me different pressures with the cutting blade and how to get to the screen with different fonts you can use to design
I’ve had a brilliant time and feel a lot more confident now
Thanks again Rebecca

Elaina Glossop-Templeton Dec 2022


Trish that took the class was really lovely, she was engaging and chatty with the children. The venue was fine, although would have been easier on the ground floor for my sister as she had a pram for her youngest which had to be left downstairs.
The activity itself was good but took far longer than an hour so they all ended up not finishing it which was a shame.

We attended the brush lettering for baubles at Hobbycraft Leeds and the class was taken by a lady called Sue.
Sue was brilliant, patient, encouraging and really helpful at trying to help you get into the techniques. She showed us how to get round some of the tricky letters and was inspiring for our own baubles and what words to put on them.
The hour and a half whizzed by in a flash but we managed to get 4 great baubles finished in this time. It was really relaxing and lovely to get creative with such a pleasant tutor. Well done Hobbycraft on the boxes - my only comment is that it didn’t contain a red brush so doing Holly etc was tricky!

Didn’t feel there was anything new/exciting/interactive about the experience; kids didn’t learn any skills. They just sat and painted the cardboard animals (as they could have at home).
Also no thought given as to how we were to get the wet, painted animals home after the session.

Apart from the lift not working (I'm disabled luckily not in my wheelchair today) this was a great session. Sue was great she helped me on the stairs and carried everything for me. We had a good time chatting about different things how to mix paint & I experimented with different things. Good advice on different things to try. I was pleased with my first attempts.

The kit is a good starting point. You'll be taking your art home so remember to line your car boot with a bin bag or similar in case of paint run.

Really enjoyed it.

Wonderful, helpful and fun staff. Susan and Andy were a blast and Susan was knowledgeable enough to cater to our level and adapt it to suit our needs as we went. This was a surprise gift to my two friends so the presentation of the kitsbto start with was a beautiful and unexpected surprise even for me. Lots of fun. I would have booked a third space for myself if I'd have known to contact you direct I just assumed that all the spaces had been taken not that it was limited to two. Know now that it always worth contacting the store to check numbers of courses that the store have rightly set limits to to ensure excellent service user experience and quality tutor time. As a teacher, who regularly crafts with groups, I was impressed with the service. I will be back for more events! Have lots more photos if you'd like them!

The granny squares blanket was a great workshop. Rebecca is a wonderful teacher and shown real interest in helping me learn crochet. She was able to help me read different types of patterns as well.
I do feel that some of the stitches I learnt were not beginners level. However I managed with Rebecca’s help to learn them.
The blanket is nearly finished and the Cotton blend yarn is soft and lovely to work with.

I enjoyed this course very much. Amy, our tutor was lovely, she explained everything clearly and was very friendly and patient with us when we got in a muddle! Unfortunately we didn't have time to practice all the stitches but Amy explained how to do them before we left. Another 30 minutes would have made all the difference in practicing the stitches and finishing off. I will definitely be booking on more workshops though!

Rebecca Dickinson May 2022


It was an incredible experience and I really enjoyed it. Rebecca was really lovely and explained everything perfectly, she definitely knows her stuff.
I got to do a wine bag and loved the outcome of the bird I transferred on to it.

We attended the Egg Machè session with Heather.
It was a lovely hour spent decorating paper based eggs or egg shaped hanging ornaments using tissue paper & glitter glues for decoupage/paper maché. I even got to decorate one myself as the two other children didn't attend.
Heather was absolutely lovely and really helpful. Nothing too much trouble, always smiling and really lovely and engaging with my little man too.
Our session ended but my little man hadn't quite finished, so Heather said because it was the last session we could have a little longer while Heather tidied up
Absolutely recommended and worth the money!

Myself and my son attended the suncatcher painting class run by Jessica. They each had a choice of suncatchers to paint and also an extra to take home too, which was really nice and unexpected.
The sun-catchers my little man chose only had opaque paints for some reason, which kind of defeated the object of it being a sun-catcher (this is the only reason it wasn't a 5* review). Jess had a look and was able to find a spare used paint pot that allowed us to do part opaque part translucent.
Jess was friendly and helpful, there was only one other little girl in our group so she had time to chat a little with our little ones and praise their efforts.

I would recommend to others, I think for £5 it was worth the money.

Thank you from Leo & myself!

My kids did come home with 3 of suncatchers. But me and the other customers have to let the staff know the workshop is for 3 of them for each kid. For the beans they provided some yarns for beaded, the yarns are impossible for beaded, the staff then kept saying just dip them in water! How ridiculous is that! I said to the staff have you got any Popper string? She said (use yarns) it was on the brief, I have to show she on the website is string on the brief not yarns! I’m very surprised a craft shop have no correct materials for having a workshop! This is very much is common sense for not using yarns for beaded anyway! And I would suggest if the staffs could spend one minute read the workshop brief, before start it would more helpful.

The teacher was excellent. She was enthusiastic about the craft, patient and clear in her instructions and gave me confidence to make mistakes. She taught me some crochet stitches and encouraged me to learn more. The box was nicely presented.

Rebecca Moore Apr 2022


Sue was very knowledgeable about all things to do with sewing and showed me exactly what I wanted during the session. I will definitely book another for my next project. Thank you!

The class in general is good. The staff very nice, friendly and helpful. Only downside is the cleaning supplies are very bad, the wet wipes for cleaning the kids hand were all dried out, it’s has yellow marks patches on the wipes absolutely terrible! And the staff have to wet them again with water! Because they only have one pack of dried out wet wipes for cleaning! How could a big high street store can provided stuff like this to CUSTOMERS! It was a paid workshop! With a art workshop, cleaning stuffs for guests are very standard! Very disappointed with this store with no hygiene knowledge.

I absolutely loved the Brush lettering course, unfortunately I didn't get the lady's name but she was so patient and explained everything brilliantly.

I was very pleased with the box of bits, and would definitely recommend this course at Leeds

Lauren Norman Mar 2022


I had a great time and as a beginner she was so patient with me! She gave me tips and tricks and also talled about crochet a little which was great because I was interested in that too! She spoke about the upcoming workshops which I cant wait to book on to! I wish I could remember her name!

The kit we got was also great I loved it came with a little bag to put it all in!

Rebecca is a brilliant teacher - really easy to get on with, very knowledgeable and she fitted so much info into the session. She also structured it so as not to overwhelm me! The Cricut machine played up a bit but that was useful to see as all technology has its moments. I’ll return for more learning once I’ve mastered the first steps.

Kids enjoyed it but doesn't need an hour, as there's not enough to do to fill an hour & the kids started to get bored with it towards the end. They weren't shown how to make different shapes with the clay, they were just shown some monsters that had been made as examples & then given the clay. Feathers & eyes were on the table for them to take as they wanted. We had 3 children with us but the demonstrator only concentrated on one child really, showing them how to make some of the monsters on display.

I got so many hints and tips.
Thank you!

Really enjoyed the workshop. Rebecca was very knowledgeable about to the topic and answered all my questions. I can't wait to start making some of my own infusible ink products.

Jane Craven Feb 2022


Excellent.
Rebecca was brilliant.
We learnt how to use cricut infusible ink - both using a pen and using the ‘paper’. Rebecca showed us how to use it on material and we used it on a coaster. Thanks Jane and Bridie

One-to-one Sewing Workshop review by Naomi Henderson-Moore - Leeds

Tracy Cressey Jan 2022


I attended the one to one sewing class to learn how to use my new sewing machine. The cost was £15 and in my opinion was a fair price to pay. My teacher Sue was friendly, kind and very knowledgeable about the sewing machine and all its functions. Materials were provided to enable me to have a play. I was at ease during the whole workshop and have now the confidence to start to make things on my own machine.

Rachel Dews Jan 2022


I did the Brush Lettering workshop with Sue. Sue was a great instructor, and was patient and encouraging. She had lots of advice and was engaging, whilst also letting us concentrate! The kit that was provided was excellent, and something that can be used many times, making the workshop fee very reasonable. I came away with a new skill, ready to practice after an enjoyable hour.

Olivia was very friendly and gave good advice.
The resources given were great.
It was was excellent value fir money.

Catherine Gregory Dec 2021


Really enjoyed the class, friendly and relaxed, could be attended by anyone to pick up a few crafting tips.
I would prefer an option for the pack not including a glue gun as I already have 1.

Karen Brooke Dec 2021


Sue was brilliant with my Daughter.
The 1hr time was perfect and great value.
My daughter learnt how to use her new sewing machine and even made a shopping bag.
My daughter is looking forward to her next lesson.

I was making the frosted wreath. Was very disappointed with the plain items in the box. Sue made it more enjoyable by finding more colors. Shame I was the only one in the workshop. Sue was very helpful and friendly which gave me a lot of confidence. Would like to do more workshops.

Jayne Simpson Nov 2021


Really enjoyed the class, teacher was very helpful and it was great fun. Lots of materials were available and all packaged in a useful box to bring home. Slight negative was it felt a bit rushed so maybe need 90mins rather than 60.

5pm class on a Tuesday was a great time to go because the store wasn't busy with lots of people around. Pamela was calm and a great teacher, letting us know how to use the materials (all provided and ours to keep) and giving tips on best types of paper and how it differs from traditional calligraphy. Really glad I booked!

Leona Binner Nov 2021


Session was led well and took place upstairs in store. A pack was provided (£10 in store) alongside a glue gun (£5) and glue (£2.50).
As the session cost £35.00 ( and physical resources cost £17:50 plus electric for glue gun) I did not feel it was value for money and the hour was not long enough for us to finish. 5/6 of us had to take our wreaths home to complete.
When you are doing this for the first time; it would have been nice to have been given a copy of the written instructions each and more visual input with more resources than just what comes in a standard box.

Dianne Elson Nov 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended • 2 reviews


The tutor was very helpful. The wreath made looks very good. The box had a variety of materials and the tutor had extras which was very useful. The workshop was on the first floor of the store which was fine but the table was a little small for the number of participants, it was quite cramped. However will look out for future workshops and may book.

Josephine Boldison Nov 2021


Teacher very patient with us older people. Also gave good ideas to follow, and explore my creative gene

This was not the best workshop I have been to but was alright. The little figures did not fit in the globe due to the light bulb so needed sawing. The tutor did not know this and things were a bit disorganised. But still nice overall. I only manged get 1 globe done in the hour due to looking for saw etc

Thanks for a great time !

Ruth Farquhar Oct 2021

Good, fun skill to learn. Messy workshop to do though, especially in the middle of the store.

Daisy Rippin Oct 2021


Daisy learned how to thread the midi sewing machine. And then Susan showed her how to sew with it.

Thank you, i know what cricut to get now.

Euroline Roper Oct 2021


The workshop was great. Becky answered lots of questions about the machine's limitations and demonstrated many of its capabilities really clearly. I'm definitely putting it on my Christmas wishlist!

The only poor part of the experience was the member of staff who went to find out where the workshop was being held and (apparently) didn't bother letting us know so that, despite arriving 10 minutes early, we started the workshop late.

the lady was a lovely person but she admitted that she was a poor sub for the person who should have been taking the class. Not really hands on experience i was hoping for and to be honest it was quite boring. /Would need to book more to understand how to really do something. I did not get to touch anything it was just her trying to get the i pad to work and connect to the machine. the Leeds City store is not as nice as the store at Guiseley . My lady tried very hard to make the time a success but I cannot say it was Perhaps it would have been a better experience with the original tutor and I do accept she tried very hard to make everthing work but at the end of the day she couldn't really use the machine herself.

Stacey Parkin Oct 2021


The class was good but the downside was that they didn't have any infusible markers to show us so the person had to show us with a marker so feel a bit let down wasn't the woman's fault was lack of equipment

The teacher was very knowledgeable & gave me a few tips on projects I'm considering doing. Just a bit dissappointed that it wasn't on the cricut maker as i had said when booked I wanted to see material being cut out & the machine being used couldn't do that.

Michael Clark Oct 2021


I am a complete beginner to sewing and electric sewing machines. Sue gave me an overview of the functions of a basic electric sewing machine, including threading for preparing bobbins and the needle ready to sew and going through the stitch types and their function.

I purchased a sewing machine after the class and was pleased to be up and sewing shortly after arriving home and unboxing.

Sue was very knowledgeable about sewing and machines and she communicated in a friendly manner encouraging my involvement throughout the session.

Sam Petty Sep 2021


Emma was brilliant, found out a lot of things that I didn’t know and she helped me with a problem I was having with a vinyl cutout. Emma also helped me with the ink pens. Definitely would do another class

The demonstrator Emma was excellent. Very good at explaining what the machine does, the parts it comes with & extra tools you can buy for it. Was shown how to use the vinyls & print designs.

Christina Adamson Sep 2021


Yes the teacher was really proud of my daughter and she is going to continue the project at home. The venue was great. Really worth the money.

Jill Everett Sep 2021


Asxa complete beginner, the help Sue gave me explained how to set up a sewing machine, explained the settings, gave me practice on hiw to run lines of stitching and showed me how to make a mini cushion cover.

Michelle Phillips Sep 2021


Emma was brilliant, really helpful and patient, I will be booking again soon as so much to learn. I have learnt so much today ready to get crafty for Christmas!

Scarlett Bell Sep 2021


I took one of my twin daughters to this lesson as she's really interested in learning more art techniques. She ended up having a one to one session with Sue who was very helpful and informative. She was shown one type of technique to be able to do the practice painting quicker and was talked through other ways of being able to do the floral art picture as well.

The session was great value for money with the pad, paints, brushes, palette & canvas all included.

We have been to 3 different types of classes over the last few years and enjoyed them all. We would definitely book more if they were available.

Thank you

Kids' Floral Acrylic Art (8-13 Years) review by Scarlett Bell - Leeds

Betty May Sep 2021

2 ClassBento workshops attended


I took my 5 year old to an acrylics painting class for 4-7 year olds as she enjoys art and painting.

Our teacher was friendly and helpful, and gave us some great advice when we asked, like about how best to thin and work with the paint and how to create effects with a water wash. I think our teacher would’ve offered guidance unprompted, but chose to let my daughter get on as she was completely engrossed from the first to the last minute.

The venue was light,
Airy and clean- and a real treasure trove which we loved exploring after our lesson.

The materials were of a very good quality to say that it’s a class for 4-7 year olds, and the canvas was a lovely design. We can’t wait to finish it at home.

The class was good value for money- the materials alone were worth nearly the cost of the lesson.

I would definitely recommend this class.

Jenny Hardaker Aug 2021


The instructor, Sue, was great, very friendly and extremely helpful and very well prepared and knowledgeable. The venue was the store mezzanine level with plenty of light. I learned how to sew button holes and sew different hems. The time flew and I wanted to stay all day! Good value doe money.

The teacher, sue was fantastic. As a beginner, I wasn't too sure what to expect. I purchased a sewing machine, recommended by Sue and she showed me how to set it up and sew. I had plenty of opportunities to use the machine and ask questions. Brilliant price. Would definitely recommend

Hope Shooter Aug 2021


Becky was amazing. She was patient and helpful. I had never used a sewing machine before so it was great to have someone to walk me through it
