Wonderful experience. There as a beginner - given as little or as much help as I needed. Full access to all displayed yarns - gentle chat and music - and fully inclusive. I would go back in a heartbeat.

The teacher was very helpful and got us well set up so that we quickly felt we understood the weaving really well. They were very supportive whenever we needed help while also giving us plenty of space to work creatively.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon learning a new skill - much easier than expected under expert eye and tutelage of teachers, in a bright studio with a small group of new starters, alongside experienced weavers working on larger projects. Am very happy with my cushion cover and I’ve caught the bug - will go back for more!

I was the only student on the date that I picked so basically had a 1 to 1. The teacher was patient and helped me loads to pick up the basics of spinning.
