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.

Recent reviews of One-to-one Cricut Workshop

  • 4/5 from Colin McCall, attended Sep 2026: We had two teachers, Olivia was really good and my wife really enjoyed her class and learnt a great deal. I don't know the name of the other lady but she was late in attending and kept looking to other customers during the lesson. She scrolled very fast on her phone and was distracted when telling me how to do it. Her demonstration was poor and failed. She also said we have gone over time and quickly went even she did not give her full attention to the lesson.
  • 5/5 from Bernadette Astin-Kilgallon, attended Aug 2026: My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our one to one this morning. As beginners we focused on design space and general design work. Our tutor, Claire was knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions selecting examples and talking us through the process in a friendly manner. We're looking forward to to using the Cricut machine.
  • 5/5 from Debra Fullerton, attended Mar 2026: I needed a basic understanding of the cricuit and materials. Claire at the Preston branch was lovely and answered every question I had.
  • 5/5 from Norma Foulds, attended Oct 2025: I wasn't sure if a Cricut was the machine for me, or which one would be best suited to my needs. Claire was really nice, gave me lots of inspiration and ideas.
  • 2/5 from Angela Davey, attended Oct 2025: I attended the crucut 1 to 1 today at the Preston branch. To be fair, the lady I saw absolutely did her best to answer all my questions, she had some tips and gave the best advice she could. However, I feel she wasn't given the correct information or tools by Hobbycraft to run a really successful 1 to 1 session that is charged for. She openly admitted she was a self taught crafter and there were many aspects of Cricut she hadn't used for herself, so was unable to answer some of my questions. She was professional throughout and really did try her best to help me, so my issue is not with her. I have come away with some useful information but I must admit, I expected far more considering I had paid for the session. All of that information, I could have found in a cricut self help text book, which Hobbycraft sells for £20. I could have saved self some money and had all the info I needed, permanently. I feel she was thrown in at the deep end at the last minute, so fair play to her. As an experienced professional in my field of work, I too have run workshops and masterclasses, that I have charged for. In return for that charge, my guests have received 25 years of extensive knowledge from the Hair industry, come away with tips, tricks, demonstrations and a useful tools goody bag. All for a lot less than I was charged today, for a poor lady thrown in at the last minute to offer her self taught knowledge. Hats off to her for doing her absolute best. Do better Hobbycraft.
  • 4/5 from Emma Wilcock, attended Apr 2025: I took my I pad which helped 100%. So I could create it myself. I wanted to learn about lettering. My teacher was great, I watched her print and apply the lettering. I do think a print out would help for when you leave as she kindly gave me a pad to scribble notes in as there was no way I would remember the lesson.
  • 5/5 from Anonymised ClassBento customer, attended Jan 2025: Great tutor that asked what I wanted to learn before we started. Step by step project, described well and I had a go. I could ask questions and came away feeling inspired and full of ideas. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 from Emma Garston, attended Oct 2024: Great session learning how to start off with Cricut Maker 3. I liked that I had the opportunity to have a one-to-one session and it was value for money. My teacher was very thorough, helpful and happy to answer all of my questions. Thank you.

She gave me a run down of how to start using my cricut, projects I can try and the best materials for different ones. I left with so much confidence to give it a go at home after feeling intimidated by my machine for quite a while. Preston Deepdale has a great atmosphere to do workshops in as the staff are all friendly and you are surrounded by a wide range of products to get anyone crafting. I recommend this workshop if you need advice or a little hand holding to get started. You can ask lots of questions and having Julia by your side you will feel in very safe crafting hands.
