2 hours Private Knitting Workshop Session

2 hours Private Knitting Tuition :

Who will be teaching me?

2 hours Private Crochet Tuition : perfect for worldwide pandemic situations ;-)

Who will be teaching me?

You will be taught by our wonderfully experienced knitting teacher Jo Raffaitin, who has been knitting and crocheting since she was knee high to a grasshopper and is also an experienced pharmacist in her other life ;-)
Jo is one of the most patient people in the world and will help you master the art of Knitting - be it just starting to learn the basics, or knitting socks or knitting fair-isle.

Who is it suitable for?

Everyone! This 2 hour private knitting workshop session can be tailored to your needs! :-) If you are a complete beginner and need to learn how to cast on and knit your first stitch, that's fine, or if you are more accomplished and want to learn something more advanced like fair-isle, or socks, or finishing techniques - that's also fine. You can buy this session in chunks of 2 hours, so if you wanted to book 4 hours, you would buy a quantity of 2 of these 2 hr sessions - and so on! Adults and children over 11 only please.

Where are your Private Knitting Tuition Sessions Held?

Private Knitting workshops are held 'in person' in our studio next to our shop at The Gilliangladrag Fluff-a-torium in Betchworth, Surrey UK. (There's a map at the foot of our home page!)

Is there a Virtual Digital Version available online?

If you can't travel to us for any reason, we can possibly arrange a virtual private class held online via Zoom etc. However, you would need to make sure you have the equipment required. Please email to discuss further.

Dates and times

2 hour sessions are usually held on a weekday during the day - or sometimes can be arranged at weekends, although our studio gets far more booked up at weekends.

We will endeavour to find a mutually agreeable date and time asap. If we can't then we will offer you a refund. Once booked - our regular Ts and Cs apply and it's not possible to cancel within 30 days of the mutually agreed date. We will send you confirmation of this date.

NB : We can only start to arrange a date and time AFTER you have booked and paid for your private session. If for any reason we can't find you a suitable date, then we can refund you. 99% of the time we organise dates that are mutually convenient with no problem, so please don't worry! :-) xx

Once booked - our regular Ts and Cs apply and it's not possible to cancel within 30 days of the mutually agreed date. We will send you confirmation of this date.

What if there's 2 of us that would like to learn together. Is it the same price?

No it would be 50% more for the 2nd person to cover extra costs. You can still book this session and then we can invoice you for the rest. If there are more than 2 of you then please contact us for a bespoke quote.

What if there's more than 2 of us that would like to learn together. How much is that?

We would charge £50 per extra person for the 2 hours. (Maximum 5 students with 1 teacher = 6!) You can still book this session and then we can invoice you for the rest.

How many hours would I need to book to make certain things?

2 hours is sufficient for doing something straightforward and learning from scratch, and might also be suitable for tackling a certain part of a project. We can advise!! :-)

4 hours would be better for more complex techniques or projects  - dependent on the complexity - we can advise!! :-)

How much does it cost?

A 2 hour private knitting session costs £80 and 4 hours is £160 and so on. This is inclusive of VAT

What's included?

The session includes tuition with Jo, - but you would need to purchase your own needles and yarn or bring it with you. There are obviously lots of options in the shop and you'll receive a 10% discount for the day of your booking. (There will be tape measures and scissors for you to use in the studio whilst you're there.)

We will also supply you with drinks & biscuits etc. PLUS you would also then be entitled to 10% discount in our shop "The Fluff-a-torium" on the day of your private knitting session! Wooohoooo :-)
