Was great to meet you guys and so glad you had a good time, hopefully see you again soon :)

Samantha Jane Slater Apr 2024


My son really enjoyed this workshop, so much so that I have ended up buying several more packs of clay and he has been making some awesome little masterpieces at home. It really helped his confidence and has inspired his creative side.
10/10.
Thoroughly enjoyed our time having our one to one session and would highly recommend.

Teacher's response

Was absolutely lovely to have you and I will say I was inspired right back by his masterpiece that he made. Hopefully see you again soon!

Kirsty Thomas Feb 2024


Class was really informative as we wanted to know what machine to buy cricut. Stephanie was so friendly and helpful in the Plymouth store. We have come away knowing which machine we now know that we won't to purchase

Fun making baubles with 7 and 4 year old, good. Good choice of equipment etc to use

Calley Davison Dec 2023


We attended the Halloween air clay workshop and the lady running the workshop showed us how to make each figure. This time there was so guidance, the clay was given to the children and they could make what ever they wanted. I could of done this at home- very disappointing.

Tegen Hunt Dec 2023


This was a great value taster session. My granddaughter learned a lot by seeing and handling this material herself. She loved it so much she was keen to make some more with this kind of material. Will have a word with father Christmas.

Helen Reid Dec 2023


This was a great, creative workshop. The tutor was lovely, helpful and encouraged designs with individuality and imagination.

The teacher was lovely, friendly and knowledgeable.

My daughters really enjoyed it!

Helen Reid Nov 2023


The snowman advent calendar workshop was really lovely and Lindsay was very helpful, friendly and informative. Great workshop idea with a lovely choice of materials.
Our friends arrived before us, and we arrived at 11.10 for the advertised 11.15 start but our friends had been told whilst waiting for us. it was an 11am start. We finished at 12, which resulted in 2 of the 3 Snowmen calendars not being quite finished which was a shame. Could you confirm the correct start time please? We are looking forward to another workshop in a few weeks time.

Mary Coombs Nov 2023


Very enjoyable, teacher very approachable and provided easy learning. Nothing too much trouble. Was concerned about being in middle of store but not an issue at all

Anonymised ClassBento student Nov 2023

Maisy was very patient, kind and friendly. She was enthusiastic to the children's work.

Natalie Goffin Oct 2023


Not a good as a previous session we have attended. Seemed rushed as another session was due to start straight after. Air clay is brilliant but on this occasion it would have been better to buy the products and craft at home.

Katie Smith Oct 2023

The teacher was friendly and interactive, the space is great small enough the teacher can see all the work taking place but big enough you have enough room to participate, we will definitely take part in other classes here.

Helen Stephens Oct 2023


My daughter and I had a lovely beginner’s crochet lesson in Hobbycraft Plymouth. Our teacher, Tracy, was very patient and explained the crochet stitches extremely well. She gave my daughter the confidence to read patterns and taught her how to put mistakes right! My daughter finished her crochet creature at home and is very pleased with it.

I really enjoyed this workshop, the time flew by. This has given me the confidence to keep going myself at home. The tutor was very patient, thank you. I needed lots of repetition with the instructions! I love the choice of wool that came with this workshop.

Collin Sep 2023


Steph is a very patient teacher. She has given and showed me lots of information about the sewing machine that we are working on ie how to use etc. On top of that, has also given details are other types of sewing machine. Money worth spending on this course.

Lou Trenchard Aug 2023


Steph was amazing! I am a complete beginner and she was so lovely. She made me feel like I would be able to do anything. I learnt how to thread the machine, then some basic stitches. 100% value for money and if you are thinking of doing a workshop think no more just book it.

Alice Dungate Aug 2023


Venue clean and spacious, Millie the host was fantastic, engaging the children, making them laugh and encouraging their imagination.

Teacher's response

Ella Shortwood Aug 2023


Lovely teacher, really helpful and 2 people in the class is a perfect size, means the teacher was able to help us and give us her full attention.

Anonymised ClassBento student Aug 2023


Glad only two of us and no children ( would prefer adults only classes)
Have tried a number of times to learn online and books, needed face to face
Managed to learn cast on, double and triple.

Happy customer

Helen Whyman Aug 2023


I had a great session with Stephanie. I am a total novice and I have learnt so much. Lots of patience shown and I can’t wait to get going now. I feel confident in myself. I know what all the equipment does that came with my machine as well and I’m going to sit down and look at my manual this afternoon. Can’t thank you enough was money well spent. I have lots of ideas and a project to complete.

Had a lovely time learning how to crochet. I found it quite complicated but Tracy was very patient (lucky for me) and I felt confident enough by the time I left to finish my square at home. Would definitely recommend.

Textiles class review by Deborah Quinn - Plymouth

Sue Mullard Jul 2023


Teacher - Tracy was very friendly and approachable, she spent time with each member of the group to help them, but due to having 5 ladies with different skill levels in the group it was difficult for her. My only advice for Tracy is to slow down when demonstrating a stitch and repeat. She is very skilled in crochet.
Environment - The learning space was extremely hot and the store music was a little loud when trying to hear Tracy at times, and felt a little hemmed in with large a box on table.
Overall - main point I learnt to hold the crochet needle and the basic treble stitch, I was a little disappointed that a few other stitches weren't included to help me crochet basic projects, Tracy did try to show me a few but not enough time to practice.
An enjoyable session

Sarah Rollinson Apr 2023


Not very organised, there was little choice of colours. Mainly black and white which was not really appropriate for chicks and bunnies! The actual demonstration could have have been better. Would have been better with step by step instruction.

Maisey was so lovely and brilliant with the kids! She was so creative and gave us some great ideas. No idea was a bad idea and her enthusiasm really made the experience worth it. We asked for bits that weren't on the table like googly eyes which were then retrieved for us. The materials were perfect and really good value for money.

The teacher was excellent and really experienced, she showed me where my issues arose and helped me to sort them as a visual learner this was invaluable to me. The group size was great as it was small and we all got the help needed. The materials provided were really nice, two colours of chunky yarn and a suitable hook size. o feel this was well worth it and I’d recommend this to anyone who’s interested.

Joanne Silmon Dec 2022


This was the first time attending a workshop within a Hobbycraft. I was expecting it to be a busy workshop but turned out to be my son and myself with a member of staff (first time running a workshop) who obviously felt out of her depth. There wasn't much guidance from staff member and it kind of felt like an activity I could have done with him at home.

Nermeen Ahmed Dec 2022


I absolutely enjoyed the macrame plant holder workshop with Racheal. The material and venue setup were really good, but Racheal has made the session very enjoyable, and productive; always patient with all participants and giving additional tips along the way. Best value for money to learn a new hobby for sure!

May Tyrrell Dec 2022


Rachel was great. Got a big box of items to get the 1st project underway. Thank you.

Lovely morning with Gaby who was such a good elf, my son is still asking me if she really was an elf! Plenty of materials to use, kids made loads of cards.

Mel Watson Dec 2022


I liked the signage to the workshop table as this made it easy to find.
I thought the goodies box was fab; wrapped up beautifully and it felt like I was getting a present.
Sophie is lovely and I enjoyed taking to her. She’s easy to get on with and she had some good ideas. The session flew by and I’m delighted with my air-dry clay tags which I’m going to paint.
I would have given 5 stars except for the lack of other participants. I feel that the activity could really be promoted more; everyone who comes through the door is a potential crafter and that could have been tapped into!
Put some of the workshop creations on display. Get staff talking to customers about them. Workshops are the thing to do at the moment and these are reasonably priced.
I saw this one on Facebook but none of my friends knew that Hobbycraft ran them. People are currently keen to do things in person rather than on Zoom.
I’d been looking forward to meeting other people and sharing ideas.
Your marketing department needs to be out there! It’s a super workshop which you could now expand into ‘other things to do with air-drying clay’ as I need ideas what to do with the rest of the pack; okay I’ll look online but it could have been something that a larger group would have talked about.
All credit for letting the workshop go ahead even though there was only one person on it.

Heather Edwards Dec 2022


Gabby the elf was amazing, we had all the resources we needed to create beautiful Christmas cards. She was chatty and kept the Christmas spirit alive, she also got more glue and more of certain recourses as they had ran out, as we were the last to leave we got a few bits to take home that she couldn't reuse for the next group. My daughter loved it.

Kirsty Lloyd-Hague Nov 2022


Whilst Rachel was very nice she didn’t seem experienced. We were anticipating a tutorial but were left to our own devices. There was lack of variety in the box which meant we had to buy more pieces and had moss and pine cones left over

Fantastic experience in the Plymouth store today. We loved the creativity and the amazing patterns we created on the baubles. They will make wonderful gifts. The staff member teaching us was fantastic, and we even had time at the end to make gift cards and postcards. Would definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who enjoys being creative.

Workshop was cancelled due to Hobbycraft not sending the boxes of wreaths. Hobbycraft didn’t contact any of attendees do we all turned up and poor in store staff had very disappointed and angry customers. I travelled over an hour specifically for this workshop. Booked months ago, now have to buy a wreath instead of making. Hobbycraft you need to sort yourselves out, beyond disappointed.

Linda Davies Nov 2022


A box with everything you need to make a lovely Christmas wreath with a friendly helpful tutor. The advise given was very useful and I am very pleased with the end result. Good venue and great price. Will definitely book another workshop.

Beth Curtis Nov 2022


Really enjoyable evening. The lady teaching us was great, really engaging, helpful and very friendly. (Didn’t catch her name, but definitely a credit to the company).
Equipment given, all useful. Bonus that we got to take it all home with us too.
Already looked at next classes to take part in.

Booked this pumpkin craft session for the kids (3yrs and 7yrs)?and we had such a brilliant time. The organiser was really lovely and was happy to help the children and was very encouraging. We were given 2 very large paper mache pumpkins and were supplied with lots of coloured tissue paper and glue. We will definitely book in on another craft session in the future. It was extremely good value for money and a great activity to keep the kids amused during the holidays.

Teacher was excellent in imparting her skils and knowledge. She also povided me with tips that are usefull for my project. I feel more confident in the use of my sewing machine.

Emma Garland Oct 2022


Fantastic teacher, gave me the confidence to get a machine and start my sewing journey! Was good being out of shop hours so I didn’t feel intimidated. Loved finding my way around the machine as a total newbie!

Gemma Brian Oct 2022


Great little workshop and the teacher was there to offer advice and chatted away happily. We were able to create whatever our imagination could conjure up. Our boys had a blast and are already asking when we can do another!

My daughter really enjoyed the workshop, but the only down fall was that not all items listed was included and wasn’t organised as well as it could of been. I felt a little rushed at the end as the next workshop was hovering around the table waiting for us to finish and leave, maybe the workshops should be 20 minutes apart so the previous group isn’t made to feel like this

Faye Rutlidge-Tippett Aug 2022


Little one enjoyed it, however we didn’t get all the craft kit that it says online and it also felt very disorganised compare to the other workshops we have done

Steph hosted the kids canvas painting session for 5 friends aged 7-11. The girls all had a great time. She gave them all ideas and helped make sure they were all dry enough to carry home. Loved how everyone came away with completely different styled canvas, there were enough paints and equipment to facilitate that. Great workshop as always, can't wait for the next one.

My tutor, Stephanie, was very knowledgeable about the Cricut machines. I was a complete newbie to these machines but have learnt enough, in my short lesson with Stephanie, to start having a go at some projects. Stephanie was very thorough and made sure I was happy and didn’t have any further questions. Would thoroughly recommend these sessions as they cram so much information in such a short time.

Michelle Parkman Jun 2022


Great value for money! It was just so nice to sit and talk to someone who knows how cricut works and also to genuinely feel as though I can follow up with questions afterwards. A good hour well spent!

Georgina Price Jun 2022

Stephy was absolutely brilliant at Plymouth store. We covered a number of things re: Cricut maker 3 . Software coverage was great and covered what I needed to get started with it and my first couple of projects. I will certainly go to Stephy again when I'm ready to move on to my next projects and learning stages.

Lauren Fulton May 2022


My teacher, Sophie, was brilliant and gave me loads of useful tips and tricks to create the perfect flower crown!

Nice to be in a small group, kids enjoyed it and it meant I didnt have to deal with paint going on the floor at home!

Deborah Turner Apr 2022


The workshop only had 3 attendees. I knew nothing about the product at all. We helped make a cushion cover. I am not sure if I got what I was expecting from the workshop. I came away a little disappointed. The product is very expensive to purchase both the unit and the accessories. Will not be purchasing one anytime soon

Beginner's Guide to Cricut Infusible Ink review by Sharon Coker - Plymouth

Olivia Judd Feb 2022


The teacher was really helpful. She helped me to rectify beginner errors, how to do extras I hadn't figured out myself like buttons, button holes and zips and then tips and tricks to make things easier. The test drive fabrics with stitch patterns to follow were really useful in learning to control my machine. It would almost be worth having these available to purchase separately if you can't do the class.

Whilst the site says not to bring your own machine I did just in case and was glad I did as it meant my machine specific problems could be solved. The teacher also said it was better for that reason. She did have a machine that I could have used (Singer) but it wasn't the same as mine (Hobbycraft 19s).

I left feeling significantly more confident and looking forward to creating more projects and progressing!

Jacqui Hazell Feb 2022


I booked the reasonably priced session to become more familiar with my unused sewing machine.
The tutor, Tracy,
was very reassuring, calm and explained all of the basics in a very clear and understandable way.
Threading the machine, different options of stitching, tension, and buttonholes,
all of which I am now optimistic that I will be able to do for myself.
Thankyou.

Gabrielle Scoffield Feb 2022


I had the most amazing 1-1 lesson. I was so excited to begin and Learnt so much. I can’t remember the name of the lady who was teaching me but she was absolutely amazing, down to earth and just happy to help and answer all my questions!

I am already looking at booking in another class, amazing value for money.

Thank you so much! Already seeing a difference from the tips that was given during class :)

Michelle Donovan Feb 2022


Tracey (I hope I remembered the right name)was ever so lovely, so warm and put me at ease straight away. Explained everything really well and let me repeat anything I was unsure about. Brilliant way to get to grips with your sewing machine when you're starting out. Highly recommend, many thanks

Kayleigh Dance Jan 2022


Brilliant class leader (Rachel). Very friendly and showedcased her skill really well, making the brush lettering easier to understand. She creates a really nice atmosphere and our group found it both enjoyable and relaxing!

Sarah Heath Jan 2022

Alison Wall Jan 2022

Steph was great. She went through all the Cricut Design Space basics with me and answered my questions. I was able to then go home and put my newly learned skills into practice. Very glad I did it and value for money.

Catriona Moore Jan 2022


I was having trouble with working my own sewing machine, Tracey was so nice and helpful.
I'd book again.
Plymouth store is clean, easy to get to and there's loads of parking.

Sophie Lane Jan 2022


Steph was brilliant! I was a complete beginner and had no idea after being brought a cricut maker for Christmas. Steph went through everything from design space to different projects which I could progress onto. If you need some help or guidance with anything to do with a cricut machine Steph is defiantly the person you need to talk to. Thank you so much Steph.

Abbie McRo Jan 2022


The teacher was lovely, made me feel relaxed and comfortable so I felt able to ask any question. I have learnt a lot and can’t wait to try out what I learnt

Natalie Knight Nov 2021


i attended with my daughter - it was present for her birthday. The teacher was welcoming and talkative, and said she'd attended a course herself with the creator of the packs we were given, but i felt she could have shared what she'd learnt a bit better, the 'teaching' was a little vague. The venue is fine if a little chilly, (but i think that's probably covid ventilation ). The pack was brilliant and made the whole thing worthwhile and provided good value for money - thank you we had a chance to practice with the pens and materials provided.

Tracy the instructor was so lovely and so willing to help. I had a really good time, it was like getting a one-to-one session! She showed me how to thread the machine, how to wind a bobbin, and how todoa buttonhole.
Having an in person sessikn was so much more heloful than an online one. I will say, the email confirmationsaid not to bring my sewing machine, but the instructor was expecting me to bring one. She was really happy to get one oftheir test machines, but worth keeping in mind.

I took my niece (10) to this workshop for something a bit different and she had a great time. The woman running the workshop was very lovely and was kind enough to give my niece some extra supply’s.
However I don’t think this was value for money as it was an activity I believe we could have done unaided at home and it did not need to be a workshop.

Anita Gruitt Nov 2021


This class was brilliant from the moment we arrived we were made very welcome. The boxes we were given were amazing and got the event off to a fantastic start, we felt like we were opening presents on Christmas Day. Then we saw the quality and volume of goodies inside and it took us to a new level of excitement, which Sophie (our teacher) handled brilliantly. It is not easy guiding a gaggle of excited middle aged ladies. The class was an hour long and seemed like 5 minutes due to the fun we were having. Echoes of our laughter ran through the store along with the obligatory Christmas songs in the background. I cannot recommend highly enough. ☃️

Mrs Collins Sep 2021


Tracy was really helpful & made me feel comfortable. I'm really happy as I can now use my machine! Location wise could be better as customer wanted help with some thing could do with may be a little sign saying lessons taking place as if store was busy could be constant interruptions from customers during lesson which could be quite frustrating as you have paid & could loose concentration. Thank you Tracy a very happy customer.

Laura Goodbourn Sep 2021


Steph was brilliant! I would highly recommend this one to one session. Steph was friendly and really knew her stuff. I was so impressed and have now purchased a Cricut Maker and accessories thank you!

Excellent teacher and great facilities. My daughter really enjoyed it and we had lots of materials left to make more at home. The only thing I would mention is my daughter is 6 and found it quite tricky so may be better for 7 years+.

Caroline Murphy Aug 2021


I had a lovely time and found the workshop very informative and helpful. I will definitely be booking more classes.

My daughter really enjoyed this session. The materials she received in the box were really good and she has plenty to do many more pictures at home. The teacher was really friendly and gave her good tips. Would definitely recommend.

Shofuan Davy Aug 2021


Our teacher was Amy. I booked the lesson for my son and daughter. I think the lesson was good value for money. I wanted to book water colour too but I am only available on the weekends. We enjoyed the lesson greatly especially for my daughter. She always had an interest in painting or art. I would love it if Hobby craft could provide addition lessons 1 on 1 or otherwise, minus the cost of equipments since we already have them from the first class. It can be just like this one but with different picture or topic. I love that the lesson was in a shop. If we needed additional art supplies for later or if my kids had inspiration for something, we could get what we need right there. We are very happy with the lesson. I will keep an eye out for more.

Shofuan Davy Aug 2021


Our teacher was Amy. I booked this lesson for my son and daughter. Amy was very good with kids, friendly and easy to talk to. I love how encouraging she was. She kept saying “it doesn’t have to be perfect”. My son is forever overshadowed by his sister. I believe Amy’s genuine encouragements boosted his confident greatly.
The venue was clean and bright. I liked that it’s well lit. I didn’t like that the speaker was directly above us. I found it bit loud at first. However, honestly I forgot about the sound once the lesson started. A customer interrupted us briefly because she wanted help to find something. It might be better if the lesson took place on the 1st floor.
The box was a nice touch. I love how I can just show up and everything’s provided. I love that a booklet was included so if we wanted to do more painting, we already have everything that’s needed.

Richard Wyllie Aug 2021


Absolutely brilliant, the young lady was very well mannered friendly and helpful 10/10 highly recommend this course to everyone
