Master the crochet hook in a relaxing and indulgent five-day five-night retreat in the heart of the Shropshire Hills.
Guided by local teacher Rachel, you will enjoy three hours of a private crochet class full of top tips and handy demonstrations. This is then followed by your own time to practice and explore in your own time either in the studio or in your cosy accommodation.
All the yarn you need plus a helpful crochet kit will be provided, there's enough for your sessions and extra to practice with. Plus, the kettle is always on for plenty of tea or coffee.
In the evenings, you can unwind by the glowing campfire before heading to bed blaming in a gorgeous bell tent for the warmer months or a fab retro caravan in the winter.

Whether you're a complete beginner, left-handed, wanting to take your crochet technique to the next level or just want a crafty week away, this course is what you've been looking for!

I first learnt to crochet as a child and spent hours and hours making, sewing, knitting and learning every new technique possible in art, craft and design. After a degree in graphics and 16 years of experience teaching Textiles, Graphics, Art & Design and Design & Technology, I strongly believe in developing my own practice to be the best tutor I can be. I am continually inspired by my students of all ages, so it's definitely a two-way street!
