First course I have done at hobby craft. Good value for money. Materials provided were great with plenty left over to experiment more at home. Only £1 extra to do the course rather than just buy the materials. Different techniques explained along with other ideas of how you improve your creations. Nice to have a private room to complete this. Would recommend be to others

Grace Apr 2024

I booked a beginners sewing machine lesson for my 14 year old daughter. Pat was very nurturing & patient showing my daughter how to get started. She carefully explained each step and encouraged my daughter to have a try giving her lots of praise. Thank you Pat & Hobbycraft, we are so pleased we booked this lesson.

Great value for money as it included the kit worth £30 (even better with the offer of 20% off!). The teacher was lovely, venue appropriate, and a really good beginners guide. I only wish I could have done this in my local store of Banbury instead of travelling 30 miles to Northampton.
It would be nice to have an improvers course with more time.

Tina Tibbett Mar 2024


I enjoyed the beginner paint pouring class. The material kit included in the price of the workshop was good.
The teacher was friendly and explained clearing what to do.
I learnt three different techniques of pouring and achieved 4 beautiful coasters.
I liked that we were given a kit that we could take home. I shall practice what I have learned on the canvases.
I would recommend this workshop.

Janet Ashwell Mar 2024

Explained very well and was very patient with me. Well done and thank you once again

Deborah de Haes Jan 2024


Hannah was a great teacher, incredibly patient and supportive. She was very clear with her instructions but also flexible in her approach. She clearly knew a lot about crochet, and I would have loved to have longer to learn more from her! My fellow learner was also great and Hannah worked well with both of us. I felt I learnt a lot and am keen to go away and practise to get a lot better. We were given yarn, a crochet hook and bag which were good to work with, and made a great start. This was a Christmas present to me and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I look forward to my next workshop!

Excellent patient teacher, who spent 1-1 time with each person. She was personable and made you feel comfortable with any question you asked.

Mrs Julie Baker Dec 2023


Having never picked up a crochet hook I was slightly anxious attending the workshop.
However, Hannah was very patient, going through the steps in detail - which I found extremely helpful.
I feel confident now in the stitches I was taught to carry on crocheting.

Denise Allen Dec 2023


Hannah was a very nice young lady, but Apart from the information on the difference between the pencils’, we may as well have just found a picture at home and copied it.

Gina Dec 2023


What was the teacher like? Hannah was friendly and relaxed, putting us at our ease. She very clearly and helpfully, took us through the various stages and techniques, and was able to answer all our questions.
How was the venue (if applicable)? Fine - quiet, good temperature.
If materials were provided, did you like them? Loved the goodie bag of materials, giving us the incentive to carry on practising at home.
Was the experience good value for money? Yes.
What did you do / learn? Basic techniques/introduction to watercolours.
What did you like most? Seeing the work develop using the techniques shown. Being given the confidence to 'give it a go' and to carry on later, at our leisure.

Karen Dec 2023


Tammy was nice and friendly. She explained everything to us.
It is an enjoyable craft.
We managed to make a gift bag.
It would of been better if the gift tags were larger as we struggled to make the stencils fit onto them.

Claire Roberts Dec 2023


My 7 year old really loved this class. The teacher was superb and very helpful. We will be looking for more on the near future

Danielle was very welcoming and patient with us. The resources were great and plentiful for the task. The only feedback I would give is maybe to provide visual aids so we knew what to work towards which may have saved us nagging Danielle every 2mins lol!

Great knowledgeable teacher
Good set up and room to craft
Lots of resources to choose from and ideas
Next time don't use twine use ribbon or plastic hooks to hook baubles on. The twine frayed and went onto the paint. More than five people to a workshops, please open up to more people. Also can I have a list of materials, so I can go on the shop floor and purchase, so I can recreate at home, with a discount voucher for spending on the same day.

Christmas Ceramic Bauble Marbling review by Claire Gryspeerdt - Northampton

Sue Needham Nov 2023


Lovely teacher - Hannah.
Interesting using the paints.
Surprised at how the colours worked on the baubles.
Plenty of paint,glitter etc.
Would suggest changing the twine to hang them up as it comes off and sticks to paint, glue
And glitter.

Dawn Broadbent Nov 2023


Teacher was friendly, came round to each of us when showing what to do. Took her time to listen to each of the participants.

Sharon Johnson Nov 2023


I spent a very intuitive & enjoyable hour with Nat at Northampton making my first Christmas wreath.
All materials were provided & Nat answered all my questions & gave me so many tips for future wreath making.
This workshop was good value for money, especially as it was 20% off the normal price.

Fiona was such a friendly and patient teacher that by the end of the workshop we had all mastered the basic stitches and crocheted a small sample. Her instructions were really clear and Fiona made us all feel at ease and confident to ask questions. I would definitely attend another workshop it was great value and lots of fun!

My daughter's feedback: I was nervous about the class and I was not sure I would like it. My mum encouraged me to attend. The class was fun and really enjoyed it. Fiona was relaxed and paid attention to me. I'm happy that I went to the class. I am working on a new crotchet project.

Pat is like the Yoda of sewing; help you she will! I learnt more in an hour with Pat than I certainly would’ve staring at a pattern that might as well have been in a foreign language. Pat talked me through and translated the pattern into plain English as well as going through the practical sewing machine bits too. Finally Pat helped me identify the other bits and pieces I needed to really kick start my project. Great value and much better than any book or online video.

Helen Muskin Oct 2023


Teacher brilliant. Instructed very clearly. Interacted with the children excellently. Would definitely choose another class in the future.

Emma Goodman Oct 2023

Brilliant experience start to finish. We all worked at our own pace, and those that didn’t finish got to take the bits home to finish up there

Nikki Oct 2023


What a great session - Fiona was really friendly, and very very knowledgeable. She put me at my ease straight away and as I am a complete novice she explained everything, even the symbols on the wool band and hooks. I cannot believe I have learnt the 2 basic stitches (and a 3rd) and have come straight home to continue so I don’t forget! Highly recommend the workshop - if she can teach me anyone can do it!

Maria Robinson Oct 2023


Enjoyed this class very much. Fiona is very knowledgeable. The class went at the right pace. Very happy with the wool and hook provided - thank you. I’ve continued on from the piece started and happy to say it’s all come back to me!

Kirsty Richards Aug 2023


Starting from knowing very little, I needed help with starting a sewing machine, I learnt types of stitching, how to thread a machine and put in the bobbin. I learnt straight stitches, stitching a square and circle - and how to put on a button. Hannah was patient and kind and really knows her stuff. If you need any kind of guidance or have any questions this is a brilliant way to learn! Thank you so much!

Stephanie Palmer Aug 2023


Really enjoyed this workshop with my daughter (7 years old). Only issue was that it was rushed because we were limited to 30 minutes so only made two creatures. However, we were given the extra clay to take home and create more at home.

Hannah was a DREAM. So knowledgeable and easy to get on with and gave me such a lot of confidence

Tina Aggarwal May 2023


Hannah was brilliant today. I was a complete starter and she was very patient. I was taught how to load a bobbin, set up the machine and begin to stich. Also hem and larger cross stich for the more specific technique I wanted to learn. Also help given on which machine to buy and much more. Thank you.

Sam Everitt Apr 2023


Workshop provided me with a new insight in what I could use Cricut machine for and all available tools/materials and information said will be invaluable as I’m now looking at owning my own machine for the future.

Thank you

I had my tutorial with Pat. I had a machine at home but did not get much chance to practice at home,so felt a little lost in my session today. But Pat showed me everything in detail, was patient, and more than anything encouraged me. She built my confidence up. I'm looking forward to my next session. Thank you to Pat.

The lady taking the class was very very good with my daughter, she listened helped but always let my daughter what colours go where and how much, the materials provided were plentiful with no restrictions on how much a child can use. When my daughter asked for a chicken to be cut from the paper the lady taking the class was skilled enough to cut out an Easter chick and the a heart shape. A very enjoyable hour with a very pleasant friendly confident nice lady. Will have more of these classes when available.

As I am a beginner I was nervous. But I need not have been because I had a lovely lady (Pat) tutoring me. She put me at ease, and showed me step by step what to do. I have bought my first sewing machine from there. I can't wait to book more lessons. Really looking forward to it.
Thank you Pat for your patience and excellent tutoring. From Sheila.

Kaye Swallow Mar 2023


My teacher Fiona was amazing during this class. She spoke and taught me various crochet stitches and I was able to create some little works of art. She observed my working and corrected me where I was going wrong. Fiona is really knowledgeable and a great teacher, I felt I learnt a lot during the class.

The class was held at Weedon Road Northampton Hobby craft and the workshop was easy to locate due to sign makers.

There were materials provided, 2X Yarn of foddering colours and an 8m crochet hook, these were really good and was easy to work with.

I feel the class was good value for money and the time I had was invaluable

I learnt how to crochet the right way, yarn over not under and found this made my crochet working so
Much better.

I liked the course and very much enjoyed my time with Fiona. She is such a lovely, kind, knowledgeable and a very patient lady, she is an asset to you team.

Barbara Newman Mar 2023


My workshop was extremely helpful, Shane was very good at explaining everything. I showed him what I had made and he created the same thing in 3 different ways which was less time consuming, would not hesitate in applying for further workshop's.

Ginette Taylor Feb 2023


The course was excellent. Abbie was an excellent teacher, very patient and extremely helpful and easy to talk to. I learned a lot and will practice my lettering skills and use it for my hobbies. Brilliant

Maria O’Brien Feb 2023


I enjoyed the beginner's crochet workshop. Fiona the tutor was very good, helpful and very knowledgeable. Learned the basic stitches. Wished the class was longer. I will definitely recommend this workshop to anyone wanting to learn the basics of crocheting. I just hope I will remember it all!

Fantastic workshop! We learnt so much in just one session! The tutor was really helpful and informative and gave us all one-to-one help. Even when she was talking she was constantly watching and monitoring us and giving advice. Definitely an expert in her field! I liked the fact all materials were provided and we learnt what to look for on wool labels and tools for moving forward and starting new projects. I would have preferred a quieter work space tucked a bit more out of the way (customers were walking round us we worked). However this would not put me off booking another workshop. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am thrilled I have now learnt a new skill Thank you

I had a lovely session with Rosie learning beginners crochet. How to do the slip knot, line and double and treble crochet. We did it a few times for practice and Rosie was very patient and supportive. With the session you got 2 lovely yarn bundles (mustard yellow my favourite) and a crochet hook and a easy to read booklet for the techniques. I even asked about changing yarn colours and all questions answered and supported. Thank you!

As a complete beginner to crochet this is the perfect class to start you on your crochet journey! Fiona was a great teacher, positive, encouraging and fun and put me at ease straight away.

Julia Austin Dec 2022


Very enjoyable hour or so. Loved the little box with everything we needed and advice we received around sealing and decorating. Good value for money. Thank you

Helen Bishop Dec 2022


I’ve been to hobbycraft classes before and enjoyed them. Abbie was great today but unfortunately the activity really wasn’t suitable for the ages of the children (4 and 5). It was too fiddly and a bit risky with the sharp pipe cleaners - the adults ended up making the decoration and the kids just got a bit bored and silly.

Angela Nolan Dec 2022


Great value for money as there were loads of items in the kit & the teacher gave some great tips and inspiration. I had a really good time & I've come away with three completed baubles that I'm very happy with and some good ideas to finish off the rest at home. Thank you!

My lesson was with PatThe Sewing Sensei .

Pat was amazing The most kind & patient lady I have ever met. I am a complete learner and Pat's manner of teaching and relying of information is superb. Her step-by-step hands-on teaching style is great and made the process fun and enjoyable. Pat was so clear and thorough her descriptions and actions and talked me through every step. I asked approx. 4 million questions and Pat happily answered them alland made everything make sense. Pat is fountain of knowledgeand also has the patience of a saint.

I was terrified walking in, I imagined failing miserably and wanting to return my unboxed machine the next day. However, I walked away with a new confidence that I can do this, and it is possible, just practise, practise practise. As Pat and I laughed aboutYou don't have your 1st driving lesson and take on a mototorwayit's a long process from 1st stitch (today) to actually making a garment myself to wear or even maybe just fixing something properly
I now have the confidence and belief that I can get there. I plan to frame my practise stitch patches from today.
Thank you Pat x x x x

Pat is an amazing team member and is a huge credit to your store.
I wish I could give Pat a raise myself.

I’ve always wanted to do a Hobby Craft workshop, but couldn’t decide what one. So I looked at a few online and I saw there was a 1:1 Cricut workshop so I booked, when I arrived I met one of the lovely Hobby Craft staff named Sean. He was easy to talk and to listen to, so I understood most instructions. Perfect I’ll be booking another 1:1 in January

My 2nd class with Denise at Npton and she is fab! Thoughtful, chatty and charming, also very thoughtful as myself and my friend are both disabled. The staff had to move us downstairs after a light fitting collapsed, which was easier for me personally. A good mix of materials was offered and compared to buying one new I do think it's pretty good value for money. I love my wreaths (Autumn and Christmas workshops) and this is the first year I've handmade them but I'm hooked Thank you to Denise and the staff at Npton who are always so lovely!

The workshop run by lovely Julie was amazing! I got it for my daughter and myself, and we had a lovely time learning together. There was only two other people apart from us, the atmosphere was very friendly and full of laughter. The materials we got were the hook, two yarns in beautiful colours and an instruction booklet with a step by step guide, that helped us practicing when we got home after the workshop. Julie guided us through the first steps with a patient of an angel, and she gave us some great tips for the future! I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to crochet!

I was able to then independently complete the project with the crocheting techniques taught in the workshop with ease. The kit provided had a crochet hook and plenty of wool, so now I can use it work on a new project with them, I feel the workshop was very good value for money for the skill learnt from it.

I was the only participant in the Cricut Mug Press workshop so Shane was great, helping me with all the questions I wanted to ask. His demostration of both the Cricut Maker 3 machine and the Mug Press were very in-depth but easy to understand as a newby to the Cricut world! The Northampton store was easy to find with plenty of free parking (and coffee shops nearby) which is always a plus to me. I travelled from Leicester so by the time I had reached home and had a good think about what I had learned, I decided to take the plunge and ordered both the Maker 3 (with everything bundle) and the Mug Press. Thank you Shane!

This class was a wonderful introduction to brush lettering. Your staff member (I'm afraid I'm awful at remembering names!) Was friendly and relaxed, helping us to develop our skills step by step. The materials provided are high quality and wonderful to practice with. We both had a really good time, thank you!

Pat was amazing really knowledgable and I now feel ready to try some simple projects and I think I was the first to use the new teaching area which was well set out. Thanks pat and your colleague that helped today.

Really good course. The set of equipment given was lovely and a perfect starter set.
I was lucky because I was the only person on the course so had one on one tuition.
Abbie was a great teacher, gave good pointers and really helped me to understand where I was going wrong with my technique.
The only shame is the course is only an hour. It wasn’t long enough!

Nurdan Morgan Jun 2022


Thanks to Abbie. She is good to teach. However, not enough time to get through even all the letters. 18.00 to 19.00 session was not suitable because of closing the shop time.

Tara Draper Jun 2022


I had a wonderful lady called Pat who was so informative and really put me at ease. As well as teaching me the basics, Pat has given me the confidence to buy my first sewing machine. She also spent time with me talking through the sewing machines on sale in store, highlighting the pros and cons of each machine. The session was Great value for money. I’ll be back for more lessons

Abbie from the Northampton store was great with my girls, they really enjoyed the class.

Louise Ash May 2022


Would thoroughly recommend this to anyone new to cricut. Shane was very clear and made the software easier to understand. He was very knowledgeable and advised on the best products to use and other courses I was interested in. The set up was good with all products to hand and in the middle of the cricut section so was easy to look at products at the same time. Many thanks Shane!

Fay Axford May 2022


The teacher, Abbie, is brilliant, fun and excellent. It was unfortunate that I was the only person who attended. There was an area set up for the lesson and I was given a pack containing all the necessary materials. The only thing I didn't like was the templates provided as they weren't really suitable for brush lettering. Apart from that I consider it money well spent. I have plenty of materials to practice with. Thank you.

I have done a few of the workshops with Shane and he is very knowledgeable. We chose a project to suit me - adding a design to a cushion cover. The store was clean and tidy and Shane had all the materials ready in advance. Shane explained each step and other options that could be done such as adding different colours. He answered all my questions and gave me some great hints and tips. He was very safety conscious as we were using the EasyPress which got very hot. Shane is a great teacher and I did not feel rushed which made the workshop very enjoyable.

Diana Stanley May 2022


I recently bought one of your machines and wanted to k ow all about it. I booked one to one. I arrived and met Pat. She was absolutely brilliant,showed me all aspects of the machine and answered all my question

This is the third workshop I have done with Shane. Again he answered all my questions and tailored the workshop to what I was wanting to learn. He also explained all the materials and examples of how and when you would use them. None of the three courses I have done with Shane have felt rushed. If you are thinking of doing one of these workshops I would thoroughly recommend Shane and the Northampton store.

Shane was very knowledgeable and tailored the session to me and what I wanted to learn. He explained about the different types of vinyl and some ideas on how and when to use each type. Shane showed me step by step what to do both with the vinyl and design space and answered all of my questions. The session was very informative and gave a great insight in what was possible on the Cricut Maker 3. There were materials readily available and tips were given on how to maximise the use of the offcuts. Another great session and I look forward to the next one on infusible ink.

Shane was very knowledgeable and tailored the session to me and what I wanted to learn. I was able to use the Cricut to get used to how it worked. I currently do not own one but am attending some workshops to get some ideas on what it can do before purchasing. Shane answered all my questions and I also got some great tips from him. Highly recommend Shane in the Northampton branch and am looking forward to my next workshop with him.

Thank you

Trisha Elkington Mar 2022


I had an hours session with Shane and he was brilliant, can fully recommend him. His knowledge is really good and he was very patient with me - even with all the silly questions I asked. He showed me the whole process from creation to application and in fact we ran over time. But could not have been more helpful. Looking forward to booking my next class

Susanne Hill Feb 2022


Brilliant training learnt a lot.
I highly recommend this training and machine.
Well done trainer

Valerie Collins Feb 2022


Shane was a good knowledgeable teacher, he explained things as he showed me and as a beginner in cricut made me more confident to use the machine, I now know how to make cards, what you need to do so and use the pen, very helpful and pleasant

It was a great session. Dhwani enjoyed the class very much And she bought some more clays from the store and made clay monsters

Chloe Richards Feb 2022


Very friendly and helpful staff member. My daughter enjoyed painting her canvas. My only slight negative is that a bit longer for her to paint would have been nice, but she is quite a slow painter so this isn't really a reflection on the workshop.

Lorraine Molloy Feb 2022


Shane was great, talked us through the app, showed us how to do the main things on their and how to create a simple design. Went through the different materials and how to use them. Really helpful.

Helen Cordingley Feb 2022


Class supervisor was lovely and the children really enjoyed painting their pots. It was nice that they were able to choose which they wanted at the beginning of the class.

Karen Moore Jan 2022


Pat was great. She was clear and concise and went through everything I needed to know to get me started. I took a sample of the material for my project and was able to practice sewing on it which was so helpful. I'm really pleased I booked the class. The only thing I would say is it would have been good to have access to different machines.

Niamh Norris Jan 2022


Very informative and helpful! Nothing was a problem and things were not rushed through at all!

Beverley Watson Jan 2022


Having a one-to-one session was perfect as it enabled me to get the best out of the hour and focus on what I needed to know in order to get started on my new machine. Shane was really good at explaining things and he did his best to answer my various questions based on moving from my (ten year) old Cricut to the much newer Explore Air 2. I went into the session hating my machine but now I am keen to try out what I've discovered. Will definitely book another session once I've got to grips with the basics!

An-Marie Beauvoir Jan 2022


Shane is excellent, knows the Cricut really well and is very good at teaching. He is able to cover each participant’s queries and illustrate his answers with practical applications. He never makes you feel stupid and takes care to involve everyone in the group.

I had the hour one to one Cricut workshop. I am a complete beginner and wanted to learn how to produce a 3d design from card. The tutor picked a bee design and I learnt how to cut the different stages out of coloured card and how to make a crease in the wings for the 3d effect. It was very informative and the tutor was very helpful giving me tips for sticking the different layers of the bee together. I would really recommend this workshop for a beginner to get you started or for a more experienced crafter needing help on a project.

Michelle Munroe Jan 2022


Learned a lot .Packed in as much as he could for me.Enjoy course and now I’m making things

Violet Angus Jan 2022


Pat was great, good explanation of how to set up and use a sewing machine.
Confidence booster.
I would recommend this workshop for a beginner to get familiar with the machine.

Pauline Kilian Dec 2021


Natalie the teacher was very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable.
The course kit was good however stencils instead of a piece of paper would have been better.
The hour long course was too short, just as you started getting the hang of it, the course was finished. Two hours would be far better.

Natalie was really helpful and down to earth making the course very enjoyable.
She was able to boost all our confidence for the activity and has got us interested further in pyrography.

Hello
I really enjoyed the Wreath Making Workshop which I attended yesterday at your Sixfields Branch. It was a nice and friendly atmosphere and got me into the Christmas spirit. I attended this on my own so it was nice to feel included. It would have been nice to have a little Christmas music in the background but the chocolate coins went down a treat. The extra wreath items which were on the table were an added bonus, especially the pepperberries, which I really loved. I did have red berries in my wreath box but a lady gave them to another lady before I realised they were mine. She then came back to take my cones from my box but I spotted her and was able to keep them for myself. Lol
It was nice to be left to make your own creation but also knowing that help was on hand was great. The lady taking the class was very helpful when asked. I would highly recommend the workshop and have already asked my daughter to join me for one next year as she liked my finished wreath.
Very enjoyable and thank you Daisy

I loved this workshop. I did think before the actual workshop that it was a little bit pricy but when I got there and saw all the bits in the kit I realised that if was actually well priced. Denise who was running the workshop was friendly and helpful and gave us good advice and tips. I would definitely recommend this workshop and do others. Its was a lovely relaxing way to spend an hour

The class facilitator was very friendly and encouraging. Two of us had come along as very low confidence, reluctant crafters who left with a lovely wreath and went round the shop to look for more bits before gping home. The kits were great and it felt like Christmas opening them up to see what we all had.

This workshop was brilliant!
Great value for money as all the supplies are provided, presented beautifully in a box and tissue paper the children get to excitingly open ( like Christmas) The teacher, Louise was brilliant, friendly,professional and inspired me to buy a canvas and have a go in my own time. She gave my daughter loads of great tips and encouraged each child’s unique creativity. I would definitely recommend this workshop. Thank you Hobbycraft.
