Lovely facilitator, great background info and examples, knowledgeable help and teaching, and a really nice crowd, loved the chat. Venue was perfect too.

Great chance to learn some new skills, socialise and understand a some of the history and possibilities of spreading important information via 'craftivisim'.
Mechelle - 8 January 2023
I learned a bit of the history of 'craftivisim' and how one can use craft to highlight important issues. The teacher was extremely friendly and informative.
The only issue was the venue, it was quiet and calm in the cafe, but it was so cold and unfortunately sitting for a over two hours trying to embroider was a bit of a challenge as my hands were becoming too cold to hold the needle properly. I never removed my winter gear and was chilled from start to finish. Perhaps in the future, during the winter, it could be held in the cutting room where there is a good sized radiator.

Loved this class. The teacher was fantastic and gave an interesting history of crafticism. The group has great chats, was so lovely to meet these interesting women and have engaging conversations.

Absolutely super class! This class was very informative and gave me the confidence to get started with embroidery. We had some incredible discussion with the tutor and other learners on so many topics. Will def come along again! Gill.
