The first thing to know about crochet: it is super fun for everyone!
Crochet is not just for grannies. There are tons of different stitches that allow you to create anything you want. From scarves to cardigans, plant pot holders to slippers and the magic world of Amigurumi, there is something out there for you.
Never used a crochet hook before? Tried to watch video-tutorials on YouTube and got lost?
Don’t worry at all! We welcome all, including complete beginners – even the ones who have never used a needle in their whole life. If you are left-handed, an adult or a kid, you are welcome too.
If you don't find the slot you would like in the booking options, don't hesitate to contact me requesting a private class: I will be more than happy to try and find a slot which will be suitable for you.
The same for group classes: if you would like to start or continue your crochet journey with your friends/relatives, just get in touch requesting a private class and we will find the right slot together - just click "request" under "request a private class" and please specify, in the session "ask a question (optional)", how many people you are and I'll get back to you with a quote for the group class.
Bundle options are available too, where you can book more lessons with a discount, just contact me for more details.
CAT ALERT!
Please note: I have two young cats who will be living in the flat. I will take steps to minimize their presence in the craft room during classes, but I cannot guarantee that there will be no cat hair present. If you have allergies or are not comfortable with cats, please consider this before booking a class.
What will you learn?
Complete beginners:
You will learn which yarn to choose, which crochet hooks to use and basic stitches that will allow you to do actual projects (coasters, scarves, etc)
Beginners:
You will learn other stitches and how to read patterns to do more interesting projects
Improvers:
You will learn how to read and make complicated patterns and projects.
We can also develop your own project together.

Eleanora is extremely knowledgeable and very approachable, and I learned some new tricks even though I've been crocheting for years (badly). She followed up our session with links to more useful hints and she's given me the tools to try designing garments myself, which I really want to try to do.

My daughter had a wonderful experience during her first crochet lesson with Ms. Elanora. From the start, Ms. Elanora's patience and clear explanations stood out. She skillfully guided my daughter through the process, making sure she understood each step. Her warmth and approachability created a comfortable learning environment, which helped my daughter feel at ease asking questions. The attention to detail and the time taken to ensure understanding was truly impressive. We're grateful for Ms. Elanora's expertise and teaching style, which has sparked a newfound excitement in my daughter for crocheting. We can't wait for more lessons with her!

Elena is a great teacher and a very talented artist. My daughter is autistic and dyspraxic, so her coordination skills are reduced and she is very shy. She came out beaming after having her first crochet lesson. She had managed to produce a great piece of work. Elena's studio is bright, airy and inspiring and you can really learn in peace and concentrate on what you are doing. If I could, I would book weekly lessons. Highly recommended.

Had an excellent time. Her studio was such a great space and she is a skilled teacher. Been wanting to crochet for ages and much prefer to have someone show me firsthand, rather than to learn off of YouTube or TikTok. She gave so many good tips and explained everything so well that I was able to continue what I was working on at home. Will definitely schedule more lessons to learn additional stitches and how to read a pattern.

The teacher was helpful and friendly. The venue was excellent.and as it was a hot day, it was ventilated and cool. I learned the slip knot, how to make the chain stitch and then to carry on in to rows. I learned how to finish off a piece.

I learnt to make granny squares with Eleanora, only having tried amigurumi before (the TOFT kits), and we fit so much into an hour. Eleanora is so patient and helpful and helped me to refine my technique too, and I am very pleased that I can now crochet a granny square after just an hour with her! Very glad I went to Eleanora; it was a wonderful class.

I attended a 1:2 workshop with my Mum and it was fantastic! Eleonora is so skilled and catered the class to our level and exactly what we wanted to learn. She was encouraging and knowledgeable and her craft room was so great to work in. We came away with new skills and lots of inspiration. Thank you Eleonora!

Really enjoyed my class with Eleonora, she was extremely patient and assuring that it will take time to get it! She provided all materials which was amazing and was extremely encouraging! Loved my first crochet class!
I did my first crochet class with Eleonora yesterday and she is so good teacher. She explained everything very clearly, including the materials and tools you need for crochet and how they are used. She gave good tips to help me remember all steps for the stitch I learnt. I had never done crochet before and was able to create a little something in the first class! Before the class, she was also very easy to communicate and willing to find a time that would suit me since the publicly announced in the website didn't work for me. If you love crafts and want to get into crochet, Eleonora's 1 to 1 class is great value for money.

My teacher was very warm and welcoming. She is an expert at what she does and her very simple teaching style is evidence of that. Her creative office was soo cute So much colour, yarn, creative projects, I was reassured that I was in good hands. I had a one-to-one crochet lesson, materials was provided for session use but not to take home, which was fine as the exact equipment was shared with me in and after the lesson. I liked that the lesson was very practical, and we went straight into practicing of the basics.

Sorry for the delay but what a weekend for Ireland, St Patrick’s day and then winning the rugby Grand Slam. I really enjoyed the class, very informative , teacher was very patient. Just picked up my set a few minutes ago fro Amazon so I cannot wait to get started. I have just mastered the slip knot so here I go. Thank you so much for your time and patience and a very easy going class. It’s practice, practice, practice. Thanks Dympna
