Gill Kniveton reviewed: Beginners crochet - York

"The 3hr crochet for beginners was hosted by Stephanie who put the small group of 4 at ease straight away. Over the course, we learnt a few different stitches. Everybody went at their own pace and Stephanie took time with us all individually. She was very patient with me. Although the time went fast, it felt it was just the right amount of time as a beginner. Highly recommend this course. My friend and I enjoyed it very much. "

Bee reviewed: Lino Cuts, Fabric Printing and Stitch - Ilkley

"A lovely venue.... Course was well prepared and all equipment provided. Tutor very friendly and knowledgeable. Only downside was the only sink available was in the loo...so made it unusable while cleaning going on.... Would recommend."
