A great class! I was completely new to crochet and the teacher guided individually each one of us, teaching us at our own speed all the foundation of crochet. It was a wonderful experience to practice and learn in a very relax enviroment. I didn't even notice the time passing by as I was so concentrated in the art of crochet. Btw great food for lunch; just outside the shop you have the market with amazing vegan food! Couldn't give any better feedback. A recommended anyone that is a true beginner to take this class. A must!

This is an excellent beginners course, I really enjoyed it and was so surprised by how much I learned in a day! All supplies were provided, yarn, basic crochet stitches booklet and a great quality hook. Our teacher Tona has an amazing talent and passion for crochet and you can tell she really loves to teach others. She is very easy to learn from and has a great personality. Fabrications shop where the course is held is a fabulous little shop with a great ethos. Sustainability and supporting local and national suppliers being very important them. Loved this course and can't wait for the next class.

The class was great, I've learned a lot and it was fun. Tone is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and supportive. The morning session was a bit too busy though.

It went as expected. Great experience. The teacher was spending time with each one of us to make sure we weren't block and learning correctly how to do the different stitches.
Laura - 16 September 2018
Ayda is an excellent, patient teacher: I left feeling inspired and confident to continue this crap. Unfortunately we did not get on to adding a second ball of wool, but we did get through a lot! I left the class and immediately got a second hook and new ball of wool so I could get cracking with my first project ASAP.

Tone was fabulously patient explaining how to complete the different stitches. Great venue too. Thanks!

I had such a good day. Really good fun. Remembered more than I thought and Ayda was able to move me on quickly. It was a nice number of people and the location was fantastic. I look forward to returning to Fabrications

It was a great class, atmosphere and location! Ida made us all feel very welcome and relaxed and had a novel way of teaching how to crochet which helps you remember what you are doing. I will definitely be back for the advanced class!

Really good class, especially as it was so small, we managed to get through a lot.
