Had a great evening learning a new skill! There were 4 in our group and we were all complete beginners. Our instructor, Lindsey, started us off with the very basics, how to start off, do a chain, double crochet, triple crochet, and how to finish off. She was very knowledgeable and if we didn't understand she took time to show us individually how to do it. She had a lovely relaxed, friendly and calm style to set us at ease.

The teacher was excellent and thorough. I feel it was good value for money and good to meet other class members.

Katie Traub Apr 2024


Fab class! I have the lesson to my mum for a Christmas gift and brought my three daughter along too. It was lovely to learn something new together. Lindsey gave us just the right amount of guidance and enough to get started with crocheting. Greta value for money and really pleased to have the wool and hook to take home. We’re all addicts now!

Anonymised ClassBento student Apr 2024


The teacher was good and enthusiastic, and there were enough resources for everyone. All abilities were welcome.

Kay Rolf Apr 2024


A really lovely little workshop which I took my daughter and her friend to. Our teacher was really lovely & welcoming and also very helpful and encouraging with all of the children too. There was a good range of materials provided too. Overall a great workshop and will be back to enjoy more!

Emma Galvin Apr 2024


My daughter took part in a 1:1 sewing machine lesson today with Chloe. My daughter wanted to learn the skills of how to set up and use her new sewing machine. I can not speak highly enough of her teacher Chloe! She explained and demonstrated each step in a way that my daughter understood. She had brilliant knowledge and patience that put my daughter at ease. It was very evident Chloe was very knowledgeable and enjoyed passing this knowledge along to my daughter, whilst also encouraging her and building confidence with positive praise! My daughter left with new skills and eager to continue learning more! We will definitely be returning to continue my daughter’s development!

Nataly Marks Apr 2024


Loved making flower wands today. Thank Chloe we love these workshops. We can’t to make more at home.

Carolyn Bennett Apr 2024


Chloe was lovely.
I am familiar with a sewing machine but needed some advice on what threads needles etc.
Chloe was great and answered my questions well.
I came away feeling a lot more confident with the use of the machine.
Thanks to Chloe

Karishma Apr 2024


I had a great session with Chloe today at the Woking store! I am a complete beginner and wanted to get into sewing. I'd done a little research for the machine I wanted and Chloe confirmed it would be a good starter. We then started on the fabric worksheets to get used to the machine - Chloe was patient and encouraging throughout and answered all my questions. At the end of the class she spent a little extra time with me explaining what other things would be useful to purchase with the machine. I will be trying my machine next week and may book a further session if I need more help! Would highly recommend.

Lisa Haagman Apr 2024


Brilliant craft activity with Sarah today, excellent value for money and the girls loved it. Would definitely recommend this activity and the best part was not having to clean my own kitchen with all the paint.

Lucy Baptiste Apr 2024


The teacher was very nice, and all materials were provided. Its was good value for money but it need to be a bit more organised at the beginning so it can be explained clearly.

Nataly Marks Apr 2024


James was great at teaching my daughter clay modelling. We had a great time thank you.

Kids' Easter Clay Animals Workshop review by Nataly Marks - Guilford

Punam Bhardwaj Apr 2024


Easter animals
The teacher was great- very friendly and clear with her instructions and encouraging with the kids. She obviously hadn’t done the class before but very well to lead the class. The venue was okay- was messy in workshop area probably due to previous crafts - only paid £4 class which was very reasonable

Simone Berry Mar 2024


Excellent class led by very proficient teacher who calmly explained everything very clearly. I had tried to learn to crochet before without success but by the end of the evening I felt confident about getting started and doing the two stitches taught. I will definitely recommend and book another course in the future to improve my skills. Thank you

Jan Cassar Mar 2024


Lindsey my teacher was amazing. She was so patient. I really enjoyed myself. I will definitely book again.

Superb class in which we have learnt so much. Lindsay was brilliant and very thorough!

Gail Jenkins Mar 2024


Really lovely member of staff full of hints, ideas and very knowledgeable. I would recommend to everyone.

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Claire was brilliant at helping each child and making everyone feel like their creation was the best she’d seen. We made two very different Easter bonnets with the children leading and feeling really empowered to get creative.

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Great session, and a very patient teacher! Could possibly have done with the class being 30 mins longer as it felt like we were just getting the hang of things

Snezhana Simeonova Mar 2024


We were unsure what machine would be most appropriate for our ideas and we had a very good class, where operating the machine and the differences between the machines were very well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

Andrea Parker Mar 2024


A Xmas gift of lesson with daughter.
Teacher Lindsay was very patient, and helped out individually as well as explaining and showing how to start crochet, kept it fun too!
Comfortable and quiet setting upstairs in shop, with background music all good.
The cloth bag of materials we each received was great- crochet hook, 2 big balls of wool, crib notes and stitch counter.
Good value for money, length allowed right for starter lesson.
Enjoyed the easy comfortable manner lesson was held with Lindsay, and that being a small group of 5 we each had plenty of attention to make a good start on our crocheting

Joanna Avey Mar 2024


Lindsay was great, organised, patient and very helpful
The venue was fine but the music was annoying as the volume impaired hearing.
Materials were fine and appropriate. I liked the takeaway notes to review the session at home
Beginner crotchet. I
feel as all were beginners, 5 is too many for a group of that length. The group should be smaller or session li her. Did not have enough time to feel co fir table in my learning.
Value for mi ey - yes, would have paid mire for longer and smaller.
I liked Lindsay our instructor who inspired us to achieve and carry on.

Suky Ghosal Mar 2024


I am a beginner with Cricut and the workshop was a mother day gift from my daughter. Sarah was amazing - she was extremely knowledgable, and even when i was thinking out loud and writing notes she was so patient.
She covered so much content in such a short space of time yet everything made complete sense because she is a natural at teaching.

A true asset to the company.

I will definitely be booking further lessons to cover different cricut techniques.

Very helpful. We both learnt something about the sewing machine. I even brought a new machine

Anonymised ClassBento student Mar 2024


Teacher is very patient and walks with you through everything you want to know step by step and makes sure you know. Would definitely recommend for beginners.

Alison Parrott Mar 2024


I signed up for a one to one workshop because I'd bought a new sewing machine from Hobbycraft and was very rusty about using a machine. Mine was very old and difficult to use. The tutor was very friendly and put me at ease straight away. She showed me what to do and then watched as I did it. She showed me the many features of the machine and the different stitches.
There were materials provided to take me through basic stitching etc.
The workshop was in the shop so it was easy to access. I also took advantage of a 20% so it was good value for money.
All in all an excellent and very helpful experience.

Lesley Chandler Mar 2024


The lady who gave class was very helpful supportive. I felt listened and explained clearly and concisely.

Katherine Russell Feb 2024

Booked a beginners sewing workshop for my daughter as a 10th birthday gift. She’s saved up for her own machine so this was a perfect way for her to learn the basics. Catherine was amazing she explained everything in a way that my daughter could understand and she came away having practiced some techniques and even sewing a zip, and confident to start her own project. Highly recommended!

Sue Parr Feb 2024


Becca was great! She listened to my issue and was able to help me sort it with explanation and demonstration. I would definitely go back if I needed help again. Thank you

Julie Ros Feb 2024


Lindsey was very helpful. Showed us how to begin from scratch to showing us how quickly we can build on our initial chain work. She showed lots of patience and understanding.

Jane Medcraft Feb 2024


The teacher was fantastic, very supportive of the children and parents and very friendly. Definitely a good activity for half term.

Kids were disappointed as well.

Lindsay is an excellent teacher. My confidence in crochet after only 2 lessons is amazing.

Anonymised ClassBento student Feb 2024


I enjoyed the 1:1 session with Sarah (at Woking) whose clear explanations were welcome. A laptop, rather than a tablet, would have improved my experience as that is the screen presentation I am more familiar with on Design Space and will be using in future. We made a cutaway card as I had requested, a gift tag using a vinyl sentiment and I am now more confident in using some of the aspects of Design Space. There is still a huge amount to learn and trial; I may organise another 1:1 session soon.

Claire Feb 2024


As a knitter, I’ve tried many times to learn to crochet and failed. So I came to a beginner’s class. Our teacher Lindsey was amazing, friendly, patience, encouraging and knowledgeable. I made a few mistakes which she helped me to rectify. I now feel confident that with practice I can finally master crochet! I intend to book onto another course in the future.
Many thanks

Karen Smith Feb 2024


Easy going - fun crochet class. Basics explained clearly and Lindsay spent time with everyone checking and helping if needed. Very friendly tutor.
Good materials have been practicing since.

Louise Crickmore Feb 2024


Glowforge aura workshop -
Lovely, lovely girl who took the workshop, very friendly & she made a gift card holder cup.
Very basic introduction to Glowforge & im now not so nervous to unbox my aura.
Did feel we worked out together how to do certain things and it was a little “discover as you go along” rather than comprehensive knowledge on machine demonstration. Would have liked information on machine care & maintenance but this was unknown.
I know this is a fairly new item you are selling but maybe offer the workshop once staff have been able to spend more time on the machine to a more comprehensive level.
All in all a little pricey for the hour travelling & maybe offer back cost of workshop on Glowforge materials?
All in all I’m a little more knowledgable.
Thank-you to the girl who demonstrated.

Fantastic way to spend a ‘twixmas’ afternoon. Lindsey was a great teacher and made everyone feel at ease. I was there with my 11 year old daughter and the class was great for all ages. Such a lovely thing to do together. My daughter is now well on her way to a scarf but Lindsey might be delighted to know that I too have managed a few wobbly rows!

Begginer with no experience in sewing. I have bben shown how to get prepare the machine and had a hands on eperience .

Sally Coles Dec 2023


The teacher was fantastic very clear instructions and helped the younger children when they needed it and was very friendly throughout.

The disco ball making held the children’s attention just long enough and was great for fine motor skills and a really fun craft idea.

The string to hold the ball up broke so needs an idea on how to strengthen that.

Will definitely look at more activities to do.

Vivienne Hassall Dec 2023


It was a present for my daughter in law Ranjana. She really enjoyed the session and she will come back for more sessions with Lindsay!

Zoe Gray Dec 2023


A little Christmas treat for myself to learn a new skill that I've never mastered by myself. The teacher was fantastic, took time to make sure that everyone in the group was keeping up, lots of interaction from her and she didn't mind repeating herself. Relaxed class and thoroughly enjoyed it. Was provided with everything needed to take part, just had to turn up! Would definitely recommend to others.

Leonne Dec 2023


Lindsay was simply incredible. She was patient, kind and shared her time well between us. I've tried to learn crochet more than once, and she finally made it click! Looking forward to more classes and making my brilliant teacher proud of her first male student.

Krystyna Nowobilska-Dean Dec 2023

Star decorations were good but the beads provided were not the quality of what I was expecting

Chris Dec 2023


Had a 1-2-1 session with Sarah this morning who is awesome! Really friendly and went the extra mile to make sure my project came out perfectly. Was using the Cricut machine to do a photo lightbox and she explained how it worked and the other types of projects you can use it for. Between the pair of us we managed to get all three templates cut and ready to go. If you want to have a try of the machines then I can't recommend Sarah highly enough!

Thalia Lipsky Dec 2023


Absolutely lovely - got me confident about trying crochet again after being certain it just wasn’t for me. Highly recommend!

Marie Tuzgani Nov 2023

Very helpful and took time to explain. Would recommend and come back for future workshops

Mariam Khanam Nov 2023


Chloe was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her knowledge, demeanour and positivity is infectious. Her smile made my day.
The venue was a bit far out because I live in Basingstoke, however this is the only suitable time for me while my kid is at school.
Stich tests/templates were provided and very helpful.
The experience was good value for money, would’ve been better if it was 1.5hr as sewing time was only 40mins cos of sewing machine chat plus technical difficulties.
I learnt how to set up a sewing machine and did running stitches and zigzag stitches. It gave me a sense of achievement to have accomplished that and I’d book another session to work on the next steps.

Samantha McPherson Oct 2023


Lovely experience. Chloe was very friendly and helpful. She had all the materials laid out for us and stepped in to help whenever needed. Shame there weren’t any pumpkins left but the wreath still looks great and probably more stylish without them. Good value.

Nice big table, my girls were very happy- plenty of tissue for the house and glue- we took some home to finish it off as an hour isn’t really long enough

Lyndsey the teacher was brilliant she made the class so informative and we all came away able to start crochet with the basics. The class was excellent value for money and the materials provided gave us a good understanding of the technique. We all thought a course of follow up classes to go onto make items and read the patterns would be ideal. The time flew by and we all wanted to do more. Well done Lyndsey.

Lyndsey was an excellent teacher and very patient. It was a great way to spend an evening, and well paced. Beginners equipment provided was good to start with and easier to practice with.

The materials were excellent but what made it so special was our teacher Chloe. Chloe was exceptional. She was friendly, fun, very helpful and very good at explaining, guiding and advising us on how to make our wreath. What a gift to the Woking store Chloe is. She should be employee of the year

I had a personal lesson with Lindsay, she was very helpful, gave great tips and was really patient! Lovely to have a little chat and learn a new hobby.

I was very fortunate to be the only one in the class, so I had Lindsay all to myself! Her guidance and instructions were clear and easy to follow and the hour and a half just flew by. I had a specific project that I wanted to do and she talked me through it, making sure I understood all the stitches. A thoroughly enjoyable class!

Susan Sep 2023


Very enjoyable and helpful course. Lindsey was very knowledgeable and patient.

Time went by very quickly and feel confident that I will now be able to follow a pattern and start the crochet kit that’s been in a drawer for 18 months!

Absolutely fabulous. Teacher was fun, and knowledgable. She explained everything and helped everyone in an easy manner and sorted out utter confusion (on my part) with ease and I was able to crochet. Absolutely delighted with what I learnt and produced. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn to crochet. Small table upstairs on the shop floor at Hobbycraft, near the top of the stairs.

Lynne Luckey Aug 2023


My tutor Kathrine for a sewing tutorial at Woking branch was brilliant. She explained everything so clearly and in a straightforward way, that enabled me to see what to do immediately. She followed each step up with asking me to try it for myself. Being a complete beginner in using a modern sewing machine (my experience was with a Singer hand machine, made in about 1926), so I was extremely nervous about trying a new model - especially as it had the dreaded phrase "computerised". I quickly discovered there was nothing to be nervous about as Katherine explained everything. I tried threading the machine, using the automatic needle threader, put some thread on a bobbin using the automatic bobbin winder and then tried a couple of embroidery stitches, which the machine also does automatically. It was a great tutorial and I would heartily recommend this to anyone wanting a one-to-one class.

Thank you so much Katherine, and well done!

Kimberly Gaywood Aug 2023


The teacher was fantastic- great with the kids and very welcoming! The activity lasted a good amount of time and the equipment available was everything needed! The children are really happy with their canvas’s and want to come back another time! Thank you!

Tracy Dommett Jul 2023


Such a lovely, friendly tutor. Lydnsey was very patient and put us all at ease , even when I asked (probably very obvious) questions. We all came away with the knowledge required to get started in crochet and a few extra added tips to help us improve. It was very good value for money considering the two balls of yarn and hook were included . We had a lovely time chatting and felt like we could have stayed longer with new fellow crochet buddies .

Olivia Luck Jul 2023


Lindsay was a great teacher and patiently showed us all we needed to begin to crochet. I think we all felt inspired to continue to crochet

Sandra Eggleton Jul 2023


Linsay, was a brilliant, patient teacher, I really enjoyed it. The wool and crochet hook were included in the price of the 90 minute session, it would be very helpful to have another follow on class. Thank you. It might be nice to add refreshments, especially a drink for future classes. Or suggest crofters bring their own.

Josephine Greeno Jul 2023


Excellent teacher, really enjoyed the course — full marks.
With practice am confident I will be able to master yet another craft.

Kichelle Theobalds Jul 2023


What a fun workshop! I really enjoyed it. Lindsay is a great teacher and made the class feel very chilled and relaxing. I learnt the basics really well and Lindsay always made sure I was happy. 100% recommend this class. She was also patient and did her best to help with my dyslexia!
Lovely person:)

Lindsay was such an incredible teacher. I learnt the basics of crochet and, as it was just me, she helped me work on something more personal too! She allows you to take a video of what she was doing so I can practice at home without forgetting. The supplies provided are great and you get information sheets too as to remember. Lindsay was a lovely teacher and person. So kind and patient. It was the very first time I’ve ever crochet, I was nervous but she put me at ease and I can now say I definitely understand a lot more about it!

It was enjoyable as a person-to-person experience, but the lady teaching me was inexperienced and the answers she was able to give to my queries were limited by what Hobbycraft made available to her on their Cricut software. It was a bit frustrating for both her and for me.

Lindsey is AMAZING So accommodating and patient!
She helped us with picking out the right wool and hooks, happy to go over things multiple times, I cannot thank her enough!

The venue is lovely and has lots of different colours of wool and the staff are very helpful! Well worth the money!

The photo may not look like much, but we learnt a lot!

Very successful and I now have them saved. Always a pleasure to work with Sarah and nothing is too much trouble. Looking forward to having another workshop soon. Thanks so much.

Had a great introduction to Crochet by Lindsey. She was patient and very clear in explaining all we needed to know. The venue was quiet, perfect for us.

Lis Ho Apr 2023


Lindsay was a a very encouraging, friendly and helpful teacher. I was lucky enough to have one on one teaching at the workshop with her and thoroughly enjoyed my time. The supplies provided are perfect for learning and practising afterwards. And I now know how to crochet and can’t wait to start making my own creations.

Kim Shaw Feb 2023


The teacher was amazing so patient and experienced in the way she was able to explain and show us step by step
I never thought I’d be able to learn to crochet thanks to the wonderful Lindsey I’ve actually achieved it
There really needs to be a follow on course for this , now I’ve got started I really want to continue with it and would love to progress with the help of the hobby craft team
It would be amazing if they had a crochet club within the shop which I could go along to sit and have coffee and learn with other like minded people
The beginner course was great value for money giving you all the materials you need
Just a little thing it would have been a lovely touch if there was a coffee machine where we could have helped ourselves
Overall such a great experience so pleased I did it
Highly recommend

I went to this crochet class with zero understanding of the stitches and how they worked, and came out with learning how to start project with chain stitch, and able to do the double and treble stitch. The teacher, Lindsay was great fun, patient and thorough in teaching each one of us on both stitches learnt. We had a good few laughs and learnt as we went. Would definitely recommend as a starter course in crochet .
It would be great to do a follow up course like a intermediate level from this one or like a regular club to attend for people of All skill levels. Unfortunately these options are not available but if they do start I would definitely be interested in them.

Sue Bruce Feb 2023


The teaching was brilliant, the venue was good. I did learn quite a lot, but needs further practice and maybe a follow on course. The items supplied were good quality. I really enjoyed the whole session, which was fun and informative.

I really enjoyed my morning with Lindsey, at beginners Macrame.
I felt she was a very good teacher and patient with me, as I tried to learn the knots. I did feel that there was not enough time to complete the project. I would suggest that it requires 2 hours, as I need to take the flower pot home to complete it.
Thankyou Lindsey

Dawn Hill Jan 2023


Had a lovely time in my class in Woking with Lindsay. There were only 3 of us on the course, so it was good for individual help when needed. Learnt all the basics and got to keep the crochet hook and wool. The time went fast, could have done with a bit longer or for a follow up class maybe.

Sarah Robins Jan 2023


I signed up for the crochet for beginners class in Woking because I had previously tried to crochet but couldn't get the hang of it. The little group consisted of three additional students. Each of us received a basic kit to take home that included an 8mm hook, two skeins of chunky yarn, and some simple instructions. Lindsay, our tutor, was very patient, clearly explained everything, and offered us one-on-one time when it was necessary. During the one-and-a-half-hour course, we learned how to cast on, make a single chain, double and treble stitch, add a second colour, and cast off.

Phil Dean Dec 2022


The person doing it was very friendly and nice. But instead of it being an activity I could do with my child we gave the person my daughter name and he typed it into the computer and we were told to have a look around the shop. She wasn’t able to set it out. There wasn’t workshop.

I hoped she would be able to play with the Name fonts, set it out. Play an active role in the creation of her stocking.

Pascale Eeckelers Dec 2022

Lindley was a fantastic teacher. The class inly had 2 so my daughter got to make lots of Halloween ghosts and bats. Even if there were 5 in the class it still would have been quiet. The clay used was brilliant we even bought some after for home. It is very inexpenseive fun hour for children and they get to take their models home. I would definitely recommend it.

Ivana Lukac Oct 2022


The workshop was really lovely for all my three children they really enjoyed it. Each created a different and very unique paper mache item. Total satisfaction. Teacher kind and smiley, helpful, and all materials provided. Thanks again.

Tutor Ryan was very good. He was well prepared and ready to go. He explained that not all technical demos go according to plan.
He got me to choose the blank I wanted and agreed to use the design I brought along.
Despite infrequent use his demo was very professional and we had a long discussion about the pros and cons of owning a Glowforge.
I think the demo decided me against trying to afford a machine for personal use. Ryan also helped me with other issues - his advice has helped me to get my Hobbycraft club membership reactivated for which I am grateful !

Teacher, materials and concept was great.
Sadly we booked pumpkins but they were unavailable which wasn’t great organisation however the branch accommodated extremely well and refund was issued. I would recommend. Just an idea to think about how people can transport there creations home.

Tutor was very good enjoyed the class
Could have been longer ,and would be great if there was a follow up class.I did think the crochet hook and yarn could have been smaller.

Marianne Flint Oct 2022


The teacher really explained things to me and I found it much easier to start crocheting rather than relying on You Tube videos.

I took the class with a friend and we were the only ones. The teacher was brilliant, very knowledgable and explained every step well, both verbally and visually. We really enjoyed the workshop and learnt a lot. It was made extra special by being taught by someone who was so enthusiastic and obviously enjoyed passing her skills on to others.

This was my second workshop with Sarah at woking. It was great, even though there were a few technical problems, she sorted it and helped me make a paper/card bag to take home.
This lady needs a pay rise
Fantastic Thank you

Great introduction to sewing for my 9 year old daughter (and me if I’m honest ). She has dreams of creating and sewing her own barbie outfits, I’m sure we will need a few more 1:1 sessions before we create any masterpieces but the first lesson was so great, look forward to the next 1.

Kathy Anderson Aug 2022


All materials provided to get us started and to carry on with the crochet! My daughter is 9 and I am 42 and we equally enjoyed the lesson. The teacher was enthusiastic and went round helping us all. My daughter keeps practicing and we will continue to practise now we know the basics

Madeleine Rance Jun 2022


I very much enjoyed this class. Lindsay was friendly and made me feel at ease. Her instructions were clear and concise and I felt happy to give it a go. We did get interrupted a number of times by customer enquires but Lindsay dealt with these in a patient manner, perhaps it would be a good idea to insure an assistant was in the area whilst a workshop was in progress. I would have liked a longer session. I will certainly book further workshops and recommend them to friends.

Joni Weeks Jun 2022


The teacher was great, I learned a lot, I've never used one before, I will book another class, to learn more. Very pleased

Kobi Lazenby Jun 2022


Great value, nice to paint elsewhere! Staff was very friendly. Smaller chairs ( my son was 2 and a half and it was difficult to reach). Perhaps some structure? It wasn't very engaging; something I could, and have, done at home. Aprons, also? Anything to make it seem more like a class. Some talk about mixing paints or tinting/shading.

We explored cutting fabric and she answered questions I had concerning downloading images and using the design space. Altogether a really good experience!

My lesson was at 4pm however when I arrived I was left standing while they sorted what was going on. Turns out the lady taking the lesson had called in sick but no one thought to message me. My whole day wasted and I just went home.

Catherine O’Donnell Apr 2022


Lyndsey was a fantastic host; thankyou. As beginners we found This quite challenging and could have done with the workshop being 2 hours to re cap learning

Milena Stokes Apr 2022


My daughter took the bonnet hat class ,she loved it it was a great fun .
Lots of decorations bits for her to choose from .
The only down point is rhat on the day they didn't have the bonnet hat ,so the were given a different hat to use .
But overall was gd and for sure will book again .

The kits provided didn't have glue that worked so the workshop person went and got alternatives that only just worked. I had to assist my 7 yo with everything bent on my knees, I have a chronic pain condition which meant this was agony. The workshop person was nice but it didn't feel like he was leading it. I wouldn't book again

The teacher was extremely helpful and the products for the class were ample for the project.
What would have made it better was if there were some wreaths already made up to get some inspiration.
The class was the right length and the teacher was there at ecru step.

Embroidery with Linzi who is so enthusiastic about her craft , very good teacher, clear, methodical. The materials provided were very good. My only criticism would be is that 1hour 30 mins makes the session very rushed. Extra half hour would make all the difference. Very enjoyable and informative. Thanks Linzi.

At first I was concerned that doing the class in the middle of people shopping would be awkward but we were so absorbed and were so enjoying the class that it didn't matter at all. The items that we were provided with were superb and very good value for money. Hope you run some oil and/or water colour classes soon. Thank you for a wonderful session Chloe.

Great event. Instructor took us through all the brush strokes for the alphabet, was well over the stated hour. Equipment all included. It may have been good to have had a copy of the worksheet the Instructor used to see how to construct the letters which may have given us more time to move onto connecting the letters. But overall, a fun afternoon and well worth the fee.

Jude Watts Jan 2022


Lindsey was very welcoming and obviously quite expert in her field. I did the beginners crochet class and she was able to explain very clearly how to begin. If I was stuck she sorted me out very quickly. A craft I had struggled to even start in the past was made much easier to achieve.
The materials provided were of good quality and bright colours to make it a fun project and I would say that the workshop is good value for money.
I did enquire to ask if they did an improvers class but sadly it is not offered. If there was one, I'd definitely do it.

It was really great to meet Becca, she was extremely helpful with any questions/showing me what I wanted to learn and gave me the advise to be able to take it away and finish. Also giving me extra resources like mentioning about YouTube videos, books from hobbycraft that are useful and many other suggestions. It did help I was the only person as I found it really gave me the confidence when a few mistakes happened to be able to get it fixed and have Becca explain where I had gone wrong or how it could be fixed etc.

She provided us with a natural wreath each in a box with a clear plastic lid so we could keep the resources together in the box inside a Hobbycraft bag - wonderfully organised tutor We had plenty of Christmas items 2 choose from to decorate our own Christmas Wreath + the inclusion of an individual small glue guns was a brilliant idea The venue was ideal-quiet +upstairs@Hobbycraft, Woking 10 -11 a.m. Saturday a.m. with plenty of free parking which made for a relaxing, fabulous learning experience for me Lindsay deserves a medal + I’ll look out for another session run by her again as I really enjoyed the whole experience!

Absolutely loved the class, mainly due to the lady (Lindsey) running it. We were a group of 3 and were disappointed to find our boxes hadn’t been delivered. Despite that Lindsey found it all on the shop floor and got us through the class.
The products are great and I really enjoyed the workshop but the only real negative was the time- we had only really just got into it when we had to pack up.
1 hour is definitely not long enough

Justine Aldous Nov 2021

I’ve purchased books before but this session helped me so much to understand how to use my machine and how moving forward I will be able to accomplish loads. I would recommend doing a session if you’re a beginner like me. Now, I’m going to attend some other sessions to help me improve.

Jadine was a fantastic teacher and very helpful. I really enjoyed myself, although one and a half hours wasn’t long enough to finish. I enjoyed finishing my advent calendar at home and am very pleased with the result.

Learning about your new sewing machine Is not just about going through the features but is about getting an understanding of when to use the stitch options and to overcome the trepidation of using them such as the automatic button hole foot. Hobbycraft knows this which is what these sessions give you. I don’t think I would ever have tried the buttonhole four if Lindsay hadn’t shown me how it worked. The best but was once you had it fitted the machine does all the work! What’s not to like about that? And it’s great to have such a knowledgeable guide to show how these things work.

Excellent Christmas Advent House Workshop. Jadine who took the course was very good and could not have been more helpful. A very enjoyable afternoon. Just need to finish the house at home now. Will encourage me to look at more workshops. Thank you Hobbycraft and Jadine.

Julie was great. She was patient and answered my long list of questions. The booking process was simple and the one to one class was great value for money. I now feel as though I can use my Cricut Maker to its fullest capacity and feel better equipped to solve any problems I may have in future.

Nicki Holland Oct 2021


Really great way to introduce myself to Cricut before taking the plunge and buying one. Got to ask lots of questions and Julie was really helpful and knew the answers to everything I asked. Will book further classes as soon as I have the machine.

I attended a Cricut Maker workshop with Julie Buckler today and, as previously, she is fun to work with and knows her stuff. She is brim full of ideas and suggestions, and particularly helpful from my viewpoint as I lipread and she makes every effort to be sure I'm understanding her guidance.

Teacher really friendly and personable and gave many great tips on how to construct our wreaths and use different materials. Plenty of pieces to work with and great value for money. Venue was peaceful.

My second course.
Really enjoyed it.
Lindsay is knowledgable and patient!
Will do another one.

Linda Parker Oct 2021


I made an autumn wreath and enjoyed it! I was the only customer with Jadine We had a good chat and she was complimentary about what I made.
It seemed expensive when I booked but there was a lot in the craft box, including a glue gun, so that made it seem much better value.
It would have been good to have a choice of materials to attach to the wreath to give more scope for creativity.

Another extremely informative 1-2-1 @Hobbycraft Woking with Lindsay. We were working on familiarisation of my new sewing machine’s capabilities. I am keen to make the most of what it can do as this means I can get more professional results. Well it was a great learning experience and highly entertaining at the same time. Who knew learning could be so much fun? Mostly down to the quirky translations in the manual. But, with Lindsay’s help, I managed to create a number of different buttonhole shapes and eventually even sewed on a button which was the funniest part of the day. Can’t wait for my next session!

Alison Wardle Oct 2021


Sana was a patient teacher. I didn't realise that to prepare she had only done a few YouTube tutorials. I thought the trainers would have been a little more experienced. This did not affect her enthusiasm or positivity. Good materials, nicely packaged.

As previously, my session with Julie Buckler was lots of fun. I had a few queries for her which she was able to answer and then she helped me to cut out a Christmas wreath which I hadn't had the confidence to do on my own at home. We ran out of time, but I brought all the bits away with me and will be able to assemble it at home. Julie was able to supply all the materials and work through the project with me.

Jacqueline Duffy Oct 2021


Julie was brilliant! She explained and demonstrated infusible ink really well. She was friendly and very knowledgeable and able to answer my questions.

Will definitely book another session.

Lyndsey was a fantastic tutor, encouraging and attentive. A relaxing and creative morning. So happy with my autumn wreath, beautiful. Some great other ideas too.

Lindsay is lovely very well trained and absolutely passionate leader of the workshop. She gave variety of ideas and inspiration. It was great to be creative and chat with others. Good value for money. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Another excellent session with Lindsay. Today we focused on pattern matching and given the very busy fabric, this was a challenge but it came out perfectly. I like the pace of the sessions which is just right. I have recently done a workshop elsewhere which felt too rushed so these Hobbycraft workshops give you time to assimilate the learning.

Julie Buckler is a very knowledgeable Cricut Maker tutor and we had lots of fun at the workshop this morning creating flowers. It’s a good value for money session with materials provided for demos.

Jayne Springett Oct 2021


I absolutely loved my class today, Julie was so knowledgeable and helpful, Iam so glad I bought a circut machine, setting was great and vinyl was provided, Julie then helped me about what vinyl I need to buy, which I did !
I would highly recommend Julie for any one wanting to navigate around a Cricut machine 10/10 excellent, I feel so confident to now produce items for myself.
Thank you so much

Caroline Trobe Oct 2021


It was a fantastic morning workshop with Lindsay. So much fun.
Lindsay made you feel welcome, and she was so helpful.
When we opened our package with the material, we found out that the glass of my cloche was broken. Lindsay immediately replaced it. And she even brought us more decoration as there was in the box like glitter.
Thank you so much, Lindsay, for making cloches with us.

Lovely teacher who gave many ideas as to how to decorate the cloche. I loved that everything came in a box including a hot glue gun and plenty of material to take home. I am sure I will be making more cloche at home with the left over material.
Very enjoyable hour we had. I will be booking more workshops with Hobbycraft.
One little comment- it would be nice if all material used in the workshop would be available in store to buy after the workshop (in this case cloches). Maybe you could hold some of these materials separately in the future

Chloe was amazing! So friendly, patient. Went through all basics. I got what what i wanted from the workshop great value for money. Thank you !

Julie Bucknell is a super Cricut tutor at Hobbycraft Woking, the equipment and resources were appropriate to the workshop and the environment was good for learning. Good value for money and an enjoyable session.

This is an excellent way to learn to sew. Today I learnt about using patterns. Who would have thought this would be so complicated. I also learned how to do tailor tacks. Lindsay from Hobbycraft is an excellent tutor and has great patience. She demonstrates each step and then lets you have a go. Will definitely be booking more 1-2-1 at Hobbycraft in Woking.

I was looking forward to the class but, due to a booking system failure, the tutor had a double-booking and what should have been a 1:1 session ended up with 3 of us working together. The booking system had not informed the tutor of changes to the bookings which had caused her a worried sleepless night not of her own making.

Linda Gammans Sep 2021


Enjoyed the workshop. Teacher Lindsay was good at giving us extra ideas. Found it very useful. Did find though that we did not have enough time as 1 hour did not seem long enough.

The teacher was very great and very helpful. It helped me gain confidence with card making, gave me plenty of ideas and was the social aspect of crafting with others was fun.

Alex Fairbrother Sep 2021


Had a fantastic time crafting advent calendars with friends.
The instructor Lindsay, was very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.
The class was good value for money and the materials was very good quality.
Would definitely recommend, especially as an escape from the mundane and to enjoy a little ‘me’ time!

Lindsey who took the class was great, but there was no way we were going to get anyway near finishing in 1.5 hrs. A bit disappointing to come away without a decorated calendar.

Jo McShea Sep 2021

Really enjoyable, friendly, small session to get started on the Advent Calendar House. The 1.5hr session just gets you started - it will take me a lot longer to actually finish it off at home, but the kit is great and I am really looking forward to using the finished house at Christmas.

Alison Blair Sep 2021


The teacher was friendly and enthusiastic and it was great to be in a small group - max 4. Very pleased with the materials provided and with how much we accomplished in a short time.
A very good introduction to watercolour or refresher for someone who did a little in the past.
Good value for money.

Charlotte was a great and enthusiastic teacher
It was great to learn the basics of watercolour and I feel more confident to try other compositions
Great class and I would recommend to anyone

Jill Hawker Sep 2021


Lyndsey was friendly and informative. A lovely lady. I enjoyed the class and learnt all that I had asked her to show me.

Birgitta Norton Sep 2021


It got off to a bit of a shaky start as a week before my appointment my teacher contacted me to apologise but she didn't work on the day I was booked in, something to do with central system not knowing shift patterns of staff. I was on holiday at the time so it wasn't until the following week that we were able to rearrange. It then turned out that she was available on the same day albeit at a later time which fortunately I could do. All in all, my teacher was very generous with her time and offered a further session to make sure we got through everything I wanted to know about. She was courteous and friendly throughout and I felt more confident with using my sewing machine afterwards. She also said that if I had any problems to pop into the store and she would try to help which again I thought was very generous and excellent customer service.

Sally Reardon Sep 2021


Julie was amazing ! Answering any questions I had and showing me new things I could do … I was late due to roadworks … I phoned ahead and this was not a problem at all and julie gave me my full hour even though I was late, which of course she did not need to do it just demonstrated to me her commitment to ensuring customers get their questions answered and gave me time . Julie is an excellent teacher and an asset to hobby craft ! As I continue to learn. I know I’ll be back again for another work shop … thank you Julie you’re a star !

This was my second workshop with Lindsay. Today we looked at sewing patterns. Lindsay was excellent showing me how they worked and giving me a number of v useful tips and tricks. The time flew by and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely be booking some more sessions because you really need someone like Lindsay showing you the stuff that you can’t get from YouTube when you are starting out. Highly recommend these sessions to everyone especially beginners.

Jackie Reddick Sep 2021


Another great class with Julie. So good I’ve booked another for next week. I’m getting far more confident on cricut maker

Frances Sparks Aug 2021


It was awesome Julie the teacher explained everything in details what I wanted to know . I will certainly be looking at booking another lesson with Julie ,she was so helpful I am so pleased as I felt I learned a lot in just one lesson.

The class was great. Lindsey had an excellent knowledge of crochet and was very kind and patient. My daughter was the only one on the course and lindsey took time to find out what she wanted to learn and was able to teach her all the stitches she requested. We especially liked that everything came in a box that we could take away with us.

My 1-2-1 was with Lindsay at Woking Hobbycraft store. Lindsay was very knowledgeable and personable and made a good teacher. I have just got my first sewing machine so wanted to get a good grounding in its use. I was shown how to thread the machine and the bobbin. It’s always good to start with the basics. I did some basic stitches on Hobbycraft provided templates which were excellent for learning on. After the session Lindsay took me round the store and helped me choose tools and necessary items which would be appropriate for my new machine. I enjoyed my first lesson and will be back for more.

Sylvia King Aug 2021


Fantastic teacher, Julie was very helpful during the class. I was wanting to learn about the Cricut machines and what they can do (as a complete novice). Very useful info help given in how to use and also advice on which products would suit my needs best.

Jackie Reddick Aug 2021


julie is a fantastic teacher. i have learnt iron on and permanent vinyl.the only downside is that the lesson is not long enough

Really enjoyed my session on watercolours yesterday. Charlotte was an excellent teacher. Very friendly and knowledgeable. This was my first attempt at watercolours and everything was explained very clearly. Loved the box with all the equipment and feel I now have the knowledge and means to experiment on my own. Hopefully I will improve with practice.

Julie Ali Aug 2021


My granddaughter loved this class. Lovely welcoming greeting from teacher and she was so patient and helpful throughout. She explained everything and helped Rosie to achieve her goal. Thank you so much.

Nina Cassidy Aug 2021


Julie my teacher was so knowledgeable and helpful, answered loads of questions I had and showed me how to make something I specifically wanted to learn.
An hour wasn’t long enough!

Brijesh Patel Aug 2021


Julie was excellent! Will come back for more for sure! And buy the machine when ready.

Anelise Davies Aug 2021


The class was great fun and my kids really enjoyed themselves. Lindsay was a great teacher. She was informative and kind and we could really tell she enjoys her job. The class was great value for money as we got all the materials needed plus more so the kids can keep practicing their new skills at home. We will definitely be booking another workshop soon!
