Attended the Beginners Course. Was excellent! Welcoming & friendly positive atmosphere. Sufficient 1:1 time when necessary. Really pleased with my progress from the start of the day, to the end. All round, just a worthy course for anyone starting on their crochet journey. I know I'll be back for more advanced courses as needed! Highly recommended.

I attended the crochet beginners class. I learnt far more that I expected, given I haven't done anything like this before. Marg is a very patient and encouraging teacher. She helped me correct my mistakes, that I manged to repeat through out the class. It was lots of fun - who knows maybe I'll try knitting next?
