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.

Imogen was knowledgeable about crochet and explained very clearly the steps of the project we received when we arrived. We started with basics stitches (3 in all) using the balls of wool and crochet hook that were supplied. We were all learning how to crochet a sample and everyone was very supportive of each other. We found it fun and enjoyable. I did pickup tips to use in the future. I received this crochet class as a birthday gift from a lovely friend and I found booking online easy. Thanks Imogen

Our teacher, Imogen, was wonderful. Talking us through each stage and going around each of us helping us where we were struggling and congratulating what we did well. I only wish there was a continuation course. Thank you Imogen.

Imogen was fantastic and amazingly patient. A follow on class, or a granny square class would be a fantastic addition.

Just completed the Introduction to Crotchet class and it was excellent. Our teacher was very patient with us and spent time with each person to ensure we were all able to complete each step before moving on to the next one. Very enjoyable class. Would liked to have had a follow-up class to move to the next stage of the craft.

The class was very good. Imogen was great at taking things back a step when we got confused and showing us how to advance each stitch

I kindly received a gift card for a voucher for a class from a friend. It was a little while before any suitable classes were available but got booked in for a Crochet class in January and found the booking process straight forward. I thereafter attended a class at Hobbycraft Dundee. We all received a tote bag with the essentials for beginners crocheting which was nice. The instructor was very helpful and patient. The class all found it quite difficult to pick up the basics - through no fault of the instructor - I think it was just trickier than we had perhaps expected. Perhaps some basic videos in advance of the class may have helped. The main problem was the class was held in store and we were interrupted on several occasions by members of the public asking our instructor for assistance. Our instructor was so polite and friendly they did try to assist but these interruptions were time consuming and distracting. Perhaps a separate area or a sign advising class in progress - DO NOT DISTURB!! - could have helped. Overall it was an enjoybale experience and I look forward to learning more and progressing my skills. The main
