Reviews
I had a one hour zoom session with Claire and she was able to give me really helpful info that answered the specific questions i had. She gave me lots of ideas for taking things forward without bombarding me with too much info. She was very encouraging and positive, has expert knowledge and skills in her subject and was totally happy to share that in the spirit of helping me to make progress. I will return for another session in the future.
Claire is a fantastic teacher, very thorough and detailed. I achieved more in my 3 hour lesson than I have been able to do by myself in over a year! Will be booking another lesson to learn more advanced skills. Highly recommended, thank you!

I found this zoom call so good. It was so good to talk to someone who knew the answers to my questions. It’s been 25 years since my machines saw light of day but looking forward to getting started. Would highly recommend anyone who wants to know about knitting machines.
