One-to-one Cricut Workshop

Join us in store and talk to a craft expert for tips and advice on your Cricut machine or project!



1 hour Class size 1 on 1       £28

Join a Hobbycraft Colleague one-to-one and ask any questions you have about your Cricut machine! Stuck on a project? Need help with Design Space? Trying to get to grips with using a new material? Our craft expert will share tips and techniques tailored to you.

This is suitable for all Cricut users, providing the opportunity to get all the answers you need about your machine. Whether you’re crafting with a Maker, a Joy, Joy Xtra or an Explore machine, you’ll be able to get excellent insight for all kinds of projects. It’s a great way to get a feel for your new machine or learn about features you’re not as confident with yet.
During the booking process, you’ll have the opportunity to let your Hobbycraft Colleague know what you would like to focus on during the session. They’ll be able to prepare for a personalised workshop that answers all of your questions. 
You’re sure to walk away a Cricut crafting pro, ready to start making your next big project!

Bring a friend: You can now use the £5 add-on feature at checkout to invite a friend along with you, whether you’re working on a project together or you’d simply prefer having some company during the session. Your friend can enjoy any demonstrations given, and they are free to ask questions, but they will not receive the same practical, direct one-to-one support as is offered to the lead participant.

Please note: If you would like to discuss the Foil Transfer Tool, Knife Blade, “Print Then Cut” feature, “Curved Text” feature or “Offset” we would recommend that you book on to one of our online one-to-one Cricut workshop sessions as we are currently unable to demonstrate these features in-store due to them being for the desktop version of Design Space only.

Please note, our workshop spaces in some stores are located in open areas and we will endeavour to minimise interruption from other crafters.

Keeping everyone safe

At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

  • 5/5 from Radhika Pithadia, attended Oct 2024: I’ve been wanting to get a cricut, but wasn’t sure which one so needed help on deciding. Heather was really lovely and she knew her stuff. She explained the pros and cons between the 3 cricuts, and gave a demonstration of a few functions. The workshop was very informative, and really helped differentiate between them.
  • 5/5 from Brenda Morton, attended Sep 2024: Really enjoyed the session and learnt the basics of the design space just what I needed thank you :0)

  • 5/5 from Harpreet Gill, attended Sep 2024: This workshop was amazing! I had already purchased the cricut maker 3 but I had no idea where to start or how to use it. I was given alot of information at the session on how to use design space, easy projects to start with and we even cut out some vinyls at the end of the session which had me buzzing and has given me the confidence to go and use my cricut maker 3.. I would recommend this workshop to anyone interested.

  • 5/5 from Julie Marshall, attended Jul 2024: I came for tuition with Heather for my cricut. Heather was very knowledgeable and friendly. She was encouraging and cheerful. This was at Thurmaston.

  • 5/5 from Sarah, attended Jun 2024: I had bought 2 different cricut machines and didn't know where to start. Heather was really nice and showed my some of the useful hints and tricks in design space to make the projects easier and look great. I definitely learned more than I knew before especially with someone to ask questions to. The price was reasonable especially as there was an offer on workshops at the time. I may do another one in the future as I'm more of a visual learner although it did feel a little rushed and an extra half hour would have been better.

She was raving about the quality and versatility of the machine so much I couldn’t resist. Then she showed me all the tips she had learnt at home and was very generous with her patience towards my slow uptake of information Michaela is also a very talented artist in her own right and it was lovely to see her creations in store. Well done all round.
  • 5/5 from Richard Lee, attended Apr 2022: Thank you so much my one to one was amazing really helpful. A really eye opener to what you can do on cricut
