Keeping everyone safe
At Hobbycraft, we want our workshops to be enjoyable, inclusive, and safe for everyone. Some workshops are suitable for children, and where this is the case, a parent or legal guardian is responsible for supervising their child at all times unless the workshop is clearly stated as suitable for independent attendance. Our colleagues and instructors are there to guide the activity and support a safe environment, and if any concerns about safety or wellbeing arise during a workshop, these should be raised with a member of staff straight away.

It was a brilliant introductory class in Ipswich. I really enjoyed learning a new skill. We received 2 balls of yarn and a crochet hook that was suitable to use with them. We were told about different yarns and how to choose the right hook for them. Perrine was very patient to explain the starting steps and two basic stitches and she was happy to assist everyone with their issues or correct their mistakes. I got so enthusiastic I continued my crochet practice after the class and by the end of the day I had a quarter of a scarf made. Not bad progress for starting from scratch the same day. I would definitely recommend this class for beginners.

Great session — my daughter and I crocheted! Having never done anything like this before, we learned how to get started, three variations of stitches, plus tips to keep going. We came home with a complimentary hook and two balls of yarn each, and we’re super excited to keep practising. Our session leader was brilliant: calm, knowledgeable, and a safe pair of hands. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get started with crocheting.

Tutor was very patient, we were a group of 3 and initially finding it daunting, she explained the steps and helped us all out individually. Learned 2 basic stitches and within 1.5 hours, feel I can crochet, albeit at beginners level. Definitely recommend it and was given a hook & 2 rolls of wool to continue our practice
