Liz's amazing, as a complete beginner I learnt a lot of how to use a sewing machine in just one session. I tend to ask a lot of questions and she is very patient with explaining bits to me :)

Lesley Ball May 2024


Good tutor. Would have been better if class was longer.
I liked the one to one tuition

Paula Woodcock Apr 2024


Sarah was lovely helpful confidence and full of knowledge thank you so much can’t wait for my next project

Lydia Cavell Apr 2024


I took my 8 year old daughter to learn the basics about using a sewing machine. The one on one was fantastic and the lady teaching us was brilliant answering all my questions. We came away happy knowing the basics and with a machine for us to have a go on. The class was excellent value for money and we came away with some samples to further our practice at home.

Jean Earnshaw Apr 2024


Had a fab beginners crochet class with Liz. Lovely lady and very patient. It was a small group of 5 therefore she had lots of time for all of us individually. I would recommend 100% if you’re thinking of doing this class.

Linda Lawrence Apr 2024


Excellent Cricut Joy one to one workshop with Sarah. Lovely quiet environment so able to concentrate easily. Sarah was extremely knowledgeable and personable which made me feel relaxed and able to ask questions, no matter how simple. Lots of advice given along with tips learnt only through experience. Definitely well worth the money and would highly recommend to others.

Karen Apr 2024


I liked that we were only a small class of 6 and the instructor was able to support us with our endeavours. The class was 1.5 hours and this just flew by, but we learnt quite a few things that we could practice at home. I would have preferred wool that was not as thick as that provided as it was quite difficult to work with and was not able to distinguish where we needed to be with our hooks. Overall I thought it was good value and certainly recommend it for the beginner.13 fr. etc. fe nk Mmmm inonononnn

Emma Halliday Apr 2024


Liz was welcoming and friendly and really took time to show us and work with us individually. She was even able to work to our requests of different techniques. The time flew by and I was pleased with the kit I got to take away

Karen Cowley Apr 2024


Beginners crochet was just that.
Teacher was excellent and explained everything at whatever pace was necessary
Materials were perfect for learning.
Enjoyed it very much and lots of info to take away.

Christine Apr 2024


Another great workshop with Ebony. I’ve done a few different workshops now with my grandchildren and the materials provided are always good quality and there’s plenty for everyone to choose from. The groups are small and the teacher is friendly and helpful. The children love taking home their finished artwork. Would highly recommend - such good value for money. So glad I found these workshops - we’ll be doing more next school holiday!

Janine Farrah Apr 2024


Our workshop was fantastic. There was an abundance of resources available for the children to access. My 3 and 10 year old created lovely monsters. Fantastic value for money! Can’t wait for the next one.

Kids' Clay Monster Workshop review by Janine Farrah - Sheffield

Jane Apr 2024


Kids enjoyed the session, but they weren't lead or supported so basically we could have purchased the clay and done it together at home

Annabelle Lee Apr 2024


We thought it was great value for money and we had a very friendly and knowledgeable teacher! Would definitely do a workshop at Hobbycraft again. Thank you :)

Emma Dallamore Apr 2024


So much fun. My son really enjoyed himself. Will definitely be doing some at home.

Christine Apr 2024


A great print painting workshop which my granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed and she was very proud of her finished ‘masterpiece’. The teacher (Ebony) was very good at explaining what to do and encouraging the children. The materials provided were excellent. It was definitely good value for money - would recommend.

Christine Welburn Apr 2024


Ebony was very welcoming and the children (5 and 7 years old) enjoyed the activity.

Carol Neale Apr 2024


It was a good lesson Liz was most helpful and we sorted a issue with my machine. Thank you.

Sue Watts Apr 2024


Friendly teacher, class was really good value for money, would've liked to have done it for longer

Bernadette Holdridge Apr 2024


Really enjoyable class Sarah is an excellent facilitator and very good with our children. Excellent value.

Monika Rolle Apr 2024


Great workshop, my little one loved it. It would be better it would be a bit longer so children can do second animal as planned too.

Shazia Salim Mar 2024


The venue was easy to get to, with helpful markings on the floor to lead you to the workshop.
The teacher was very friendly and helpful. The workshop itself was very good but I think it was a bit more pricey than I thought. This was with the easter discount too. Although it made one little girl very happy! So maybe it was worth it.

Helen Leonard Mar 2024


Karen was absolutely brilliant. So kind and encouraging. We will both definitely continue with this new hobby, very mindful, a lovely way to de stress. Thank you Karen.

Linzi Mar 2024


Booked the canvas printing workshop for my daughter's birthday. A group of eight 10-12 year olds and one 6 year old. Great fun was had by all of them.
All materials were provided, the teachers explained what they needed to do in an easy to understand way.
I thought it was great value for money. Especially as all of the children got to take home their beautiful art work at the end.

Angela Hubbard Mar 2024


Ebony was kind, patient and encouraging. She explained things slowly and carefully.
We learned three crochet stitches and had time to practise before moving on.

Anita Clark Mar 2024


Teacher was excellent.
Florence has a short concentration span but this was not a problem to the teacher who picked up on it but didn't make it obvious.
She was patient and knowledgeable. Excellent value for money. Florence want yo come again and learn different skills.

Jennie Parker Mar 2024


Sarah was really helpful, I went in with 0 knowledge and now feel confident that I know what I am doing. Felt very at ease, worth every penny!

Laura Wainwright Mar 2024


Easter bonnet. Teacher very patient with the children, plenty of resources and responded to children's additional asks. Kept them focused too. Thank you

Samantha Mar 2024


My kids had a great time making Easter bonnets. The staff member was fantastic, she was fun and engaged well with the kids, encouraging their creativity. The choice of materials was great and with the class price being on offer it made it especially worthwhile. Two happy children with two brilliantly bouncy, sparkly and very Eastery bonnets!

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


The teacher was friendly and very clear with her instructions. It was fun session. I feel confident to continue to improve my crochet skills.

Sue Foster Mar 2024


My daughter and I did the crochet course with Ebony, what a lovely, helpful, patient lady she was, we was given a bag with wool & a crochet hook & an instruction leaflet.
The only negative I have about the course is nothing to do with Ebony or the course is where it is held which is on the shop floor, customers where coming over and talking to us, I feel it would be better if a corner of the shop was cornered off.
Many thanks Ebony we will be coming back for the next course.

The instructor was kind and patient, it was friendly and informal. I can now do 2 crochet stitches

Cath Feb 2024


Really enjoyed the session. I learnt some basic stitches and can now go on to develop.my skills.

Carla Goddard Feb 2024


Ebony was a patient and great teacher would definitely recommend this workshop to others who want to learn the basics

Carole Elliott-Sharon Feb 2024


Liz was great, she was prompt for the class, polite, very experienced and a great teacher.

Sally Jones Feb 2024


Good value for money. Kept the boys busy, simple idea and as described. The staff member taking the class made a real effort to help and engage with the boys. Would definitely book another.

Rachel Foster Feb 2024


Teacher was great very helpful, creative and supportive. Great selection of materials. My daughter really enjoyed it.

Yasmin Holland Feb 2024


Really helpful. Super friendly staff member. She understood my reason and what I was hoping to achieve in the future with it and guided me through as a good pace.
She taught me the basic skills and I have taken it all in and gone home and practiced.

Lucy Kilner Feb 2024


It was very informative and the teacher was patient and kind whilst helping everyone during the whole lesson

Dianne Biddleston Jan 2024


I was with Ebony and she was really nice, helpful and patient with me would highly recommend the course

Sue Mason Jan 2024


Lovely materials supplied by our excellent teacher, thankyou. Clear instruction, especially for my 10 year old grand-daughter who picked up crocheting very quickly.
Venue clean but a little cool.

Joanne Frost Jan 2024


Sarah was amazing, there was a delay with the wifi lagging but Sarah was very apologetic and all was fine. I wished it was done on a laptop too allow me to see design space as I see it and to allow more options than on a tablet.

Dawn Lake Jan 2024


The person who took me was really amazing, she was very patient and kept on showing me what to do. I have actually learnt how to do a magic ring which is what I went to do. I highly recommend going on the one to one crochet course it's amazing

Faye Hannah Jan 2024


Teacher was very patient with my additional needs daughter, venue was not too hard to reach via transport and only complaint was the lack of variety in colours or the fact no way to transport clay was provided to everyone eg the other people got a box but there wasn't enough to go around so mine ended up squashed and I had to improvise when we got home and cut off astronauts legs

Rachel Jackson Jan 2024


Sarah at Sheffield store was brilliant. Very friendly and helpful with the children but also not taking over their ability and letting the kids do the work themselves unless they needed help. When one little boy asked how they should look, Sarah replied with exactly how you want them to look which was lovely. We also bought the same craft equipment to bring home so we could make some more. Would definitely recommend!

Lisa Docking Dec 2023


Teacher was amazing. She knew her stuff and was very patient. The materials I received were the same from my previous crochet workshop but it's ok I can use them. The setting was in the middle of the store which probably would have been better in a private room as customers kept interrupting. I've learned how to read a pattern, do a magic ring and have started on a Amigurumi project.

Emily Davis Dec 2023


Phoebe (8) got so much out of her very first sewing machine lesson. Liz was really good, she was patient, went over bits a few times to get the info to sink in but also let phoebe try to remember herself before giving the help.
We will be booking another workshop with liz once phoebe has mastered the first basic skills. Only downside- now phoebe thinks she is ready to make dresses.

One-to-one Sewing Workshop review by Emily Davis - Sheffield

Laura Hall Dec 2023


Lovely, helpful staff. Very ‘hands on’ assistance for me & my 10 year old daughter, we got a bag of materials also that I wasn’t expecting.

Gill Dec 2023


My grandchildren loved making the Christmas cards, there was plenty of materials to make the cards with and the member of staff there was very helpful and patient. It was a very good experience for them.

Charlotte Dec 2023


We came today to the Christmas clay making but not very happy with the experience. We’ve paid for 2 places so they should be enough equipment for our children when we have paid. But they ran out of red and said they had no more so we couldn’t even make the Santa properly. The lady was very quiet and didn’t really speak much. She was nice but not very helpful. I asked if they had anymore red as we was missing some for both arms and the feet of the Santa and the hat! So a lot of the Santa and she was very nervous and just said we’ve ran out shelf. Nothing further to help or to go ask or look in back see if there is anymore.

Christina Coleman Dec 2023


Teacher had good ideas and Was patient with children. Lovely activity. Could have had some sprinkles to add to the cards.

Christine Dec 2023

Teacher, Ebony, was great - friendly, patient and knowledgeable. She explained each step clearly and helped everyone in the group individually to master the techniques. I’ve tried crocheting before using books and on line videos but have never been able to do it. After today’s class I now feel I can do the basic stitches and have something I can build on. I really enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend it to others. Good quality materials provided too.

Michelle Dec 2023


Absolutely loved the crochet workshop.
Ebony the tutor was lovely, so easy to talk to and so helpful answering any questions we had.
I certainly learnt a lot and now feel confident enough to have a go myself.

Mairead Shipley Nov 2023


Our teacher, Patricia was lovely. She gave us the right amount of instruction without limiting our creativity. The equipment was generous. The only down side was that it flew by so quickly.
Patricia was chatty but professional , I would attend one of her classes again.
A lovely festive class.

Helen Nov 2023


The activity was lovely with some great decorating ideas and my daughter was happy with the result. The staff member was friendly. My suggestion would be have scissors and glue ready for each child rather than waiting. This is our second event and we would be back.

Nadine Duke Nov 2023


The teacher was ok at showing us what to do, however I think it would be beneficial for thd teacher to have done the project herself rather than reading instructions, all parents struggled to make a star from a pipe cleaner

Caroline Boldock Nov 2023


Another great craft. We made a snowman countdown calendar. The teacher was very patient and waited for everyone to finish before moving to the next stage.

Caroline Boldock Nov 2023


My 8 year old son loved this workshop, the teacher was really lovely, patient with the kids and explained each stage very clearly. Would definitely recommend.

Stacey Nov 2023


We did a Christmas clay modelling workshop with Sarah. The kids had a great time, Sarah was super engaging and helpful especially with the younger ones.

Jacqui Louise Kirkland Nov 2023


The teacher had an amazing manner with the children. She was incredibly patient friendly and supportive.
My daughter loved making the decorations.

The class was great I really enjoyed it, Liz at the Sheffield store did a fab job and I came away with some really pretty baubles and all the supplies to continue at home. Thank you for a lovely hour of therapeutic craftiness ☺️

Diane Nov 2023


The teacher was exceptional, she was very patient and very professional, she definitely knew her skill, she gave me some very good tips

The venue was good but where we had our lesson needs to be more private as we kept getting interrupted by other people wanting to know where products were and one even wanted to know how to work a specific sewing machine, it was very off putting for me as a student and a paying customer for a one to one session
It was nice to get a discount off the course and it was the offer that got me to book the class.

I learnt how to sew in a zip into a bag and also into a garment

The thing I liked most was the lady that was my tutor, she gave me confidence to fit the zips, I’ve not dared try it until now

Dona Bailey Nov 2023


Group was well instructed on the task in hand. I chose the Christmas bauble marbeling class. Liz was great gave us clear guidance and explained all the steps. Really enjoyed the hour and came home with something unique.

Janice Arblaster Nov 2023


The teacher, was very good at explaining and demonstrating how to mix and dip the baubles. We had plenty of time to create and chat while the baubles dried. Then I was let loose in the store where I of course bought lots of goodies. I am looking forward to my next workshop. Well done.

Kay Nov 2023


Had a great time, everything was provided, good clear instructions and plenty of time to do the craft. Great group of people too, really enjoyed.

Vanessa Nov 2023


Sarah (I think?) was great - explained things clearly, giving us useful tips, several ideas & different options to complete our star wreath. Patient & helped if needed.

Sue Prestwood Nov 2023


All good and enjoyable except for the fact that an hour was not nearly long enough. Instructor was very good but didn’t have time to explain beyond fixing the greenery to the star within the time allowed.

Rachael Ellis Nov 2023


Liz our instructor was great, she showed us how to set up, talked us through the different colours and showed us how they made different patterns.
My top tip would be to spin the jug and not the bauble!

Bernadette Richards Nov 2023


Wonderful session, great value and Ebony was a star, really patient. Would definitely book another

Sarah Elizabeth Brookes Nov 2023


Fabulous patient teacher, she helped with all the tricky bits, overall excellent workshop, love what we made.

Ruth Larder Nov 2023


Liz was very helpful. Very enjoyable session resulting with lovely baubles.
Would highly recommend workshop.

Gillian Devlin Nov 2023


Grandchildren really enjoyed this workshop. We go regularly to Hobbycraft workshops in Sheffield. Lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Gaynor Burgess Nov 2023


Sarah is very proficient and knowledgeable with all things Cricut.
She explained clearly and gave me lots of valuable advice.

Leigh Claxton Nov 2023


Liz was relly frendly and explained and demonstrated everything to me brilliantly. Very knowledgable and patient.

Jaason Warner Nov 2023


Sarah was amazing. She tailored the hour to suit my requirements. I did book a beginner’s as I’ve only been using my machine for a month, but I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos. Sarah soon picked up that I new a lot of what she was doing so quickly changed to a more intermediate version. She was amazing and gave me lots of advice on what I can do with my machine going forward as I gain in confidence. I would highly recommend this one on one to anyone.

Jayne Ashton Nov 2023


Teacher was excellent she explained everything very well and was very patient. The materials provided were great, the atmosphere was quiet to say shoppers were about. Lighting could have been a little better but that’s just how the store is. Learn basic crochet stitches so now feel confident enough to have a go by myself

Claire Baker Nov 2023


Liz was excellent at explaining and demonstrating how to use the sewing machine. She was extremely patient and answered all my questions. Great course. Thank you.

Nikki Rushin Oct 2023


Teacher super friendly, explained everything clearly. Let us try things as much as needed. Very encouraging.

Laura Oct 2023


The teacher was nice and helpful. She gave us lots of crafting tips. An enjoyable craft session for children age 7+.

Eleanor Jeffery Oct 2023


Patricia was a fantastic support for the children in the group, taking time to learn their names and patiently showing them how to make each Halloween creature. She was good fun to talk to for the adults as well. Thank you

The teacher, Sarah, was highly effective. She demonstrated clearly. Resources were excellent in relation to the task. The teacher’s ability to personalise was very good… I took three children aged 3, 7 and 9 and they all had exactly what they needed from the teacher. The teacher’s time management was excellent. The teacher/ child ratio was excellent. Sarah had a very good way with our children in terms of motivating, engaging and inspiring them. I was appreciative of the back up plan for our three year old in terms of alternative activities.

Julie Mizler Oct 2023


Took my two granddaughters to the haunted house workshop today , absolutely excellent value for money , the demonstrator (Sarah?sorry terrible with names) , was lovely , so nice and good at explaining how to do it . A very nice workshop . Am definitely booking again

The teacher was great and we left with a few lovely Halloween creatures, including a ghost spider. My nephew is only 3 so found some of it tricky but Mariana suggested ways in which we could make it easier. Looking forward to the next one!

Susan Kondakor Oct 2023


The teacher was very friendly and patient, she obviously knew her stuff. The venue was ok but there were distractions from time to time. We were surprised to be given a bag each of wool and a hook. It would have been even nicer if we had been given a choice of wool colour - grey and sage green are not my favourite colours. The wool also has a tendency to split as it isn't spun as tightly as some.
When I booked the workshop I was hoping for something that would kick start us as we are both novices and it certainly did. We learnt three stitches and got chance to practice each one thoroughly. The time flew. I am really pleased I booked it.

Anita Ainsworth Oct 2023


We had a private workshop for Halloween figures with Liz who was absolutely fantastic! My granddaughters loved the way Liz interacted with them, her patience and understanding was excellent.
The setting was perfect for the workshop we had. Materials were provided and all exactly right for our creations. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured in any way, we had lots of fun making ghosts, spiders bats & pumpkins and bought lots of the creative dough and utensils to make some at home
I was very impressed with Liz who ran our workshop today, and we are delighted to have brought home our Halloween items

A big thank you to Amelia. The class was really good and she made me feel at ease. As a total beginner her help and understanding was caring and she made it fun too.
I definitely would do one again.

Amy Oct 2023


Amazing! Just what I had hoped for and more. I had purchased a new sewing machine and followed the instructions for setting it up but just couldn’t get it to work how it should. The lady running the workshop was friendly and knew her stuff. She was really helpful and showed me lots of tips and tricks to use my machine. I can’t wait to get practicing.

Mandy Gray Oct 2023


Amelia was such a lovely lady and very patient. Me & Marie thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a great deal. The time went too quickly. Mandy & Marie x

Really good session with a really helpful tutor! Was able to go home and begin to crochet a blanket which I have always wanted to do!

Thank you so much!

Thoroughly enjoyed my session with Ebony. She helped me to understand the pattern I wanted to do. I also learnt a better way of stitching the granny squares together. Will probably have another session with her when I’ve progressed! Thought the cost of the session was reasonable and was thrilled with my hobbies bag. A very pleasant and easy atmosphere to learn in.

Ebony was lovely, so patient, it didn't matter how often we asked the same question. At last I feel I'm beginning to master the basics, just could have done with another hour to really cement the skills learnt

Helen Baldwin Sep 2023


A very enjoyable session with a friendly and approachable teacher who was very patient and knowledgeable. I feel more confident to practise and build on the skills learned.

Ebony at Sheffield Hobbycraft was a fab teacher! She was so patient and had all the time in the world to help us with our beginners crochet class. The materials were good and the step by step booklet was a good way to get started. We had 3 people in our class and had plenty of time to practice the different stitches. I would definitely do another class to improve my skills when I am more confident in what I have learned so far.

Ann Aug 2023


Excellent teacher, well prepared but space was cramped. Good quality resources and plenty of inspiration. Lovely atmosphere which enabled my four year old grandson to experiment, share, comment and receive feedback. Very reasonable cost.
will recommend to others and will book more sessions for our grandchildren.

Sarah Robinson Aug 2023


Ebony was great! Patient kind and understanding. she showed me 3 different stitches and gave me feed back on each. Workshop was vaulue for money and I will be going back when I am further along for help with the next step.

Big thank you

Lynsey Taylor Aug 2023


The teacher was friendly and interacted well with my daughter. The venue was fine, although it took us a few minutes to find where the table was in the store as it was unmarked. The materials were really good and the experienced seemed good value for money. My daughter made a butterfly and a bee, and she learned some good techniques for shaping the clay. My daughter says she liked mixing the colours of clay together most.

Great activity to do with children. The teacher was lovely and demonstrated the techniques well. She also suggested other ideas for using the clay eg. making badges by sticking badge pins on the back once dry. The materials were easy to use and not messy.

My teacher was Karen and she was brilliant! Karen was so good at explaining the techniques involved im brush lettering and gave plenty of examples. Karen was very patient and encouraging when I was having a go at the exercises. She gave me many hints and tips throughout the session and I came home and wrote them all down so I can keep referring to them.
Karen works at the store where the course was run (Meadowhall Retail Park, Sheffield) and encouraged me to bring I'm samples of brush lettering work in for her to see in the future. A very friendly touch I thought.
I think the materials provided were excellent quality and very nicely presented.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course, thought it was excellent value for money and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn brush lettering.

Our tutor made us feel very welcome, was very patient and answered all questions with ease. Her instructions were clear and given in a friendly manner. I really enjoyed the session and feel confident to carry on with crochet. I wouldn’t hesitate to book a class again.

Tutor was highly experienced and passed on her knowledge effortlessly. She made you feel confident in learning a new skill.
It was great to learn the basics to take away with us and practice.
The materials were of good queasily and we got to keep them.
I’ll be booking another class soon.

Karen was a fantastic tutor encouraging, patient and friendly. The lesson was relaxed and interesting. The kit to take away was great quality.

Cheryl Bryant Jun 2023


Ebony was a very patient and kind instructor. She helped me perfectly with everything I needed to know regarding my knitting pattern, and I left the workshop feeling much more confident to finish my project.

The venue was held in the store but was not in the least distracting as it was held in a quiet little area.

I received a free ball of wool and some knitting needles, which although I didn't really need, I still welcomed.

For a one hour one-to-one class, I thought it was reasonable value for money. I would definitely book a class again.

Judith Reaney Jun 2023


Excellent. The teacher was friendly and approachable. She sorted out a lot of my problems and now I need to practice. If I get stuck I will make another appointment. Worth every penny. Thank you. Judith Reaney

Sarah was really helpful even though I know the basics she helped me clear up some sections I didn't understand and what they did and meant thankyou

Karen Heenan May 2023


Went to Sheffield for my course and Sarah was my trainer. She explained how the machine worked. Talked me through the software and helped me create text on my photo before we printed and made my keyring.
Can't wait to book my Cricut training. EXCELLENT would definitely recommend.

Margaret Barron May 2023


I attended the one to one class to learn how to change colours during knitting as it was something I hadn't done before, I was taught 2 ways and decided on the second one of cutting the wool and using it on bobbins. The teacher was great and patient, I used my own wool and continued this when I got home, within a couple of hours I had completed the star that I couldn't do when I went in. Good lesson.

Jennifer Whale May 2023


Was impressed with Ebony .Her patient manner was excellent and her knowledge and ability to communicate my concerns made me feel at ease .A lovely hours tuition and would not hesitate to come again

The venue was warm and comfortable. A very enjoyable experience.

Patricia our "teacher"was lovely, so pleasant and easy to get on with . She was fabulous with my 4 year old granddaughter gave her lots of praise, and chatted away to her . A small class which was also nice. A bit pricey--£20 but all clay provided. Callie loved it and was very happy with what she made. Thankyou Patricia.

Deborah Sortland Mar 2023


Sarah was brilliant, she explained everything and very helpful with how to decorate the wreath. Excellent teacher.

Jan Faulkner Mar 2023


Sam was really friendly and helpful. We worked through a list of questions that I had prepared and completed a few little projects. It was good to get practical experience of the things i wanted to learn and see supplies available.
Sam also gave me lots of tips on how to do things and websites that may be useful for me. She also explained how to download things into the Cricut design space area which was something i didn’t know how to do.
All in all a really useful workshop session. I booked a double session (2 hours) and would recommend this as it gave me enough time to learn and ask questions.

Tracy was a good workshop leader who had a great way with our nieces, aged 8 and 6. Tracy was able to lead and inspire our nieces; she was generous with her time and able to demonstrate skills in a way that our nieces understood.

The pre-packed resources that Tracy used were disappointing. For example, there was very little related to the theme of Easter, i. e. there was only one bunny item (sticker) and chick (sticker) between two children. Had the focus of the workshop been a spring bonnet then the resources would have been very good.

The atmosphere from the staff at Sheffield Hobbycraft is fabulous: they are so supportive and encouraging.

Diane Chandler Feb 2023


My 2 granddaughters loved the clay pot workshop, the lady that run it was fantastic she gave them hints and tips. The materials were plentiful. The hour went very fast.

Sarah was a very good teacher. She was well prepared and the resources were good. Sarah demonstrated clearly: (a) what needed to be done and (b) a range of techniques to use. Sarah gave a good balance between input, independent activity and support. My great nieces liked making their paintings, especially using the different types of brushes and learning to create a marble effect. The workshop was very good value for money.

This was an excellent workshop in every way. The teacher was knowledgeable, clear and highly interactive with our nieces. The resources were appropriate to need and purpose with a very good range of choice. The teacher was able to personalise her teaching to different skills, learning needs and preferences. The atmosphere was highly encouraging, with passing staff chatting to our and commenting to them on their cards. Three different types of card were modelled by the teacher; two were made by our nieces with materials given to finish the third card.

Would have been better if everything was set up at the start time. Also needed a heart template to cut round. The instructor was great, very friendly and knowledgeable.

Jan Faulkner Feb 2023


Very useful workshop. I am wanting to buy a Cricut machine but wasn’t really sure which would be most suitable for my needs. I was given lots of useful tips, was able to use a machine myself with friendly and helpful guidance. Once I decide which machine to buy I will come back for a further workshop specific to that machine. It was great that the class is one to one so you can ask as many questions as you like as you go along. Absolutely no sales pressure either which was a refreshing change but I was advised on prices and all the optional extras in store to look at.

Michele Blueitt Feb 2023


Karen was a lovely teacher and I was very lucky to have her on a one to one as I was the only one booked on. The craft pack that was included was really good with quality items needed for the workshop. Would definitely recommend giving it a go.

Good teacher who personalised learning were needed and possible. Small group which allowed for a personalised input. Very good tips given by teacher, gained through her experience. Good environment. All materials provided and of good quality. Very good organisation. As a result of the workshop I understand the basic principles of brush lettering. I most liked the balance between the generic teaching input and the personalised input. Good value for money.

Liz Chilton Jan 2023


Cold at the venue, seating could have been more comfortable ,table too high. Teacher helpful and friendly, just right level. Good pack of essential equipment to start.

Moira Marshall Nov 2022


The teacher was great, had great ideas and took us through step by step. Really happy with the session itself and it made a great Christmas gift for my sister in law.
However when we arrived, one of the Hobby craft staff members was quite unhelpful in telling us where to go ("just there at the back of the shop") and when we asked again we were told that they didn't have us booked in and the same staff member asked if I had actually booked the tickets or had I just taken a screenshot of the course. I had actually booked a few weeks in advance and was left feeling very embarrassed and angry, especially as this was a gift for my sister in law. When I showed her my email confirmation, she told me "oh, it has just come through on the system" and she would find a craft person to assist us. The session started 15mins late, but in fairness the teacher gave us extra time.

I really enjoyed the chance to learn and have tried to do some more since I got home, or I'll forget quickly. I made a few mistakes at home but I think I know why and I didn't know anything before!

Graham Farnell Nov 2022


Very good tuition, the tutor has great knowledge, very helpful and expanded her teaching to add if I have any problems she will help again should I need advice etc, by popping back into the shop, great service, shop warm, as it happened I was the only one in the lesson so was one to one, on her advice and tuition I purchased a circuit top model the circuit maker 3 so I’m hoping I can then do some online courses with hobby craft and gain more experience to hopefully help to top up our pensions by making crafts to sell on on our craft stall tables and the craft fairs we sell at, I have a friend who has one too and will also help me out with the sorts of crafts she makes and sells with a a lower model of the circuit range
So a very informative lesson and greatly appreciated

I did this class for my daughter who’s just turned 4 and loves crafty things. It was a little hard for her at first but once she got the hang of it she loved it.
Tracey was a lovely teacher who was able to guide us to the best techniques to use to get the best finish on our clay ghosts.
This kept my daughter entertained for the full hour and she hasnt stopped talking about it to my husband and relatives when we got home.
I would definitely do this again and encourage others with creative kids to give these works shops a go!
I’ll even be looking at the adult ones too.
Can’t wait for the next one.

Attended a really enjoyable beginners crochet workshop with my 13 year old daughter. Neither of us had crocheted before.
The instructor was really welcoming and split her time between the group to help us individually with the bits we got stuck with.
We received a box with wool, crochet hook and instructions to get us started.
We achieved a small piece of crochet in class.
There were only 4 of us on the group which was a good size.
Enjoyed the workshop and would recommend to others.

Really enjoyed the workshop with Karen yesterday. I was the only person there so it was nice to have a one on one. She explained things really well and also gave a few hints and tips. The items you get to take home and practice with are really good quality and almost the cost of the workshop. Shame the hour passed so quickly I could quite happily have stayed another hour!

All in all I enjoyed this workshop as I have learnt a new craft which I have been putting off due to starting and getting no where.

Ebony our instructor was very good with my grandchild ( 8yrs and 3yrs) and encouraged them to work independently but assisted when needed. There was plenty of materials provided for them to choose from. Everything was ready on our arrival and the children made the most of the time allowed. I feel my money was well spent and it was definitely Good value.

I can't write a review at present as the booking I made was changed as the person had to change the day from Monday so at this point I haven't had the workshop until Thursday. I am looking forward to the workshop. Will do a review after the workshop.

The class really opened my mind to the possibilities with the machine. The instructor Sarah clearly explained the app and How to use the machine. She also went into great depth exposing the different types of vinyls and how they work with different materials. She adapted the class so it focused on what I would be using the machine for and gave some great insights into how I could use it to improve my work. It was genuinely great value for money and we learned a lot. Would highly recommend this class for both those just getting started and also people who have some experience.

Mrs Hardy Mar 2022


I went for a beginners lesson on the Cricut Machine in the Sheffield Meadowhall retail park.
Sarah was lovely she made me feel at ease totally. I had not used my Cricut maker at all, but now feel I have an insight in to what I can do. The venue was clean & tidy, & the class was out of the way at the back of the store which was nice & quiet. Well done Sarah I would recommend the class. Thank you

The class was excellent. Amelia was very knowledgeable and explained well. She gave me lots of useful hints and tips and was very easy to talk to. As a beginner, I left the session feeling confident that I could continue on my own and have been able to put what I learnt into practice already. The class was good value as it included a full kit with everything needed.

Sarah Parkin Feb 2022


I arrived on time, was told someone would be with me. I waited for 10 minutes in a freezing shop and no one appeared. I want a refund please.

Caroline Bell Feb 2022


Had a lovely time chatting with the instructor whilst learning a new skill which I had failed to be able to do on my own. The provided kit was beautifully presented and felt like good value for money.

Sheila Chapman Feb 2022


Great introduction to DS and the Cricut maker. Venue space was a bit crammed in.

Gillian Green Feb 2022


I felt a bit awkward where the workshop was actually held in an aisle with other customers trying to walk past and ask questions. To say it was the first time the lady had taken a workshop she did well I only had a small problem that was rectified quickly the other two ladies had problems that took longer to sort out the sewing machine developed a problem when one of the other ladies had a try and put her off a bit the material used was freely available when I asked questions or the other ladies did they were answered promptly by the ladies own knowledge are a quick check in instructions booklet for the machine for the correct terminology of equipment used as in darning plate

Gemma Saxby Feb 2022


Sarah was Absoloutely brilliant!

So very helpful, sat and listened to me and went above and beyond to help me after a technical internet issue, which wasn’t her fault but she sorted the problem and was apologetic. Thankyou again. I will deffinately come back again just for her service!

Laura Swindells Jan 2022


So impressed with the quality and quantity of the craft materials in our packs.

Karen at Sheffield was very knowledgeable and gave some great tips and advice re further purchases and styles

Sharon Mushod Jan 2022


Karen really enjoys Brush Lettering and it shows! her enthusiasm is contagious.
It was nice being in a small group (there were 3 of us beginners) because it made the lesson flow easily. I wish I could have stayed longer and picked Karen's brains for more tips and tricks - Thank you

Thankyou Sarah

Beth Bussey Jan 2022


Sarah was fab, I had a 1-2-1 class on learning about the basics of using the cricut machines. I'm more of a visual learner so seeing it done first really helps me, can't wait to learn more. I would recommend this 1-2-1 to anyone buying a cricut machine, Sarah's explanation of how it all works was easy to follow.

Jayne was lovely and patient with both my grandchildren and when the craft boxes came out they were full of good crafting material.
Well worth the money.
We have had a fun filled morning crating.

Julie Walsh Dec 2021


Amelia was lovely. Very knowledgeable but could not answer all my questions. The machine she was using kept crashing when she tried to show me the things I had asked her to help me with. I was able to tell her how to do things. I am a beginner but self taught and very keen to progress. I felt as though I did not get good value for money. This was not Amelia’s fault - all in all a bit disappointed as my son & his wife paid as a gift for my 60th birthday

Julie Bennett Nov 2021

Sylvia Holmes Nov 2021


The teacher, Sarah, was extremley knowledgeable and able to answer all questions well and provide many tips. Sarah made the experience well worth while being pleasant and attempting to meet all customer needs.
We were given smart vinyl to produce our own samples. I would have liked to see the machines other capabilities - such as drawing and scoring, rather than only focusing on vinyl. It was very good value for money and confirmed my thoughts to purchase a Cricut.

Fatima Barma Nov 2021

The teacher was really friendly and helpful. I enjoyed it being a smaller group and the box you get was good value for money and quality. Would definitely recommend.

Cat Barker Nov 2021


I really enjoyed the Christmas cloche making course. Materials were provided with plenty of left over snow and moss to make more at home. Tuition was very basic but the teacher was really lovely and made us feel at ease. We were sat at a table at the back of the store which was fine however we did find that other customers kept interrupting to ask the teacher where to find products in store! Perhaps this could be prevented by having a sign up advising customers that a class is in progress and not to interrupt. I haven’t marked down for this as to be honest I thought it was fairly obvious that we were busy and shouldn’t be interrupted so definitely a fault of other customers and not hobby craft. We were stopped a few times to ask what we were doing which I didn’t mind at all as it obviously inspired others to want to give it a go themselves. All in all my mum and I have a lovely afternoon and had a go at something we’d never tried before for a reasonable price. Finally on another point; it’s great that you get a glue gun included in the price you pay if you don’t already have one however if I were to go and do another course I would get another glue gun which seems pointless, is it possible to have the option to have something else instead of the glue gun? Or pay a slightly cheaper price for the course if you do t need it?

The women taking the class was lovely but I felt it wasn’t like advertised, as it said they would demonstrate different things ie coasters and they didn’t, so didn’t learn what we went for

Alicia Bates Oct 2021

I bought this as a birthday present for myself and two adult daughters to do together and in time to have out at Christmas. We had a fantastic time and the workshop with the various craft equipment was well worth the price. We did this on a Saturday morning at Meadowhall, Sheffield and Jane, the lady who ran the workshop was absolutely brilliant, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. There were only the three of us in the workshop but several people stopped to see what we were doing. We will definitely be looking to see what we can do next and are also looking forwards to some non-Christmas workshops early next year.
Thank you Hobbycraft and a huge thank you to Jane, you made three crafters very happy.

Great class and well worth the money. Good for beginners.

Barbara Dargan Oct 2021


Lots to learn in the hour
Skills were demonstrated as information given
Would benefit from a longer course with me working practically
so that I could ensure I understood the processes properly.
Sarah covered the 2 areas I wanted to find out about well.
Lovely to have had the opportunity to have done the class.
Thank you

The materials came all boxed up and wrapped like Christmas presents which was amusing and created a talking point with the other participants.
Jayne was very helpful and informative throughout the workshop.

The whole experience was great,my daughter loved it! She’s learnt a new skill and has carried it on as soon as she got home. Amelia was a great teacher and has a lovely personality,and loads of patience! We can’t wait for the next workshop! 10/10

Alexa Brammer Sep 2021


Brilliant class, and Sarah was fantastic. Very tricky for my daughter even though she's an experienced crafter as am I. The age range should be aimed at older teens and adults as some steps are very complicated.

Rosalie Havik Sep 2021


Really helpful one to one session. Feel I understand the basics to now have a go at using my own machine. The lady was very patient with me and clear in her explanations. Much appreciated.

Claire Manes Sep 2021


Quite difficult design for beginners and children. Could also have been taught better. An easier design would have been better.

Dawn Barson Sep 2021


The teacher Sarah was great. Very informative and admitted when she didn't know something. Gave me advice and places to find out. Awesome

Florence Gear Aug 2021


The teacher was fantastic and I loved the materials given to me as part of the lesson.

Before I started I didn't think I would enjoy it because of the way my mum tried to teach me and I didn't like crocheting that much anyway. This lesson made a huge difference and I'm working on a project. I've learned the basics I need to carry on by myself.

Judith Oldfield Aug 2021


Really enjoyed the one to one cricut workshop this morning, Sarah was very patient with me as I'm a total novice! The set up was at the back of the shop which was good, the only downside was that people who were shopping were able to stand and listen and when you've paid for a one to one that's exactly what you want. Overall though have no complaints,came away feeling a bit more confident and knowing that I can go anytime if I have any problems

Kayley Lettin Aug 2021


We visited the Sheffield store and my 2 children had an excellent time taking part in the class. Sarah spent time showing the children step by step how to achieve the best results. The pack we received had lots of great products in, items to use during the session and items to take home so the children could continue to paint. They had a lovely time. Highly recommend booking a session!
