Crochet for beginners

The small group tuition is great for absolute beginners and the online video helps because you can work at your own pace at home. The venue is lovely and the group setting is friendly, supportive and welcoming. Would recommend to anyone wishing to learn how to crochet.

My daughter did a needle felting class for her 12th birthday. She’s always wanted to try it and it didn’t disappoint. She loved the class, made a brilliant Christmas scene and would like to try something else now so will be on the lookout for more classes in the new year.
