Raffia Bag Crochet Course – Monday Evenings – Esher – Starting 15/4/24

Crochet your own raffia shopping bag or handbag with this 4 week course which allows you to create a unique bag.

The course covers shape, sizing, stitch combinations and types of handle. Design your own bag using the techniques we learn in class or follow one of my patterns.

Skill Level

You must be confident with basic stitches. Working with raffia takes a bit of getting used to, so I would not recommend this course for anyone that has only recently started crocheting.

Materials

You will receive one ball of raffia as part of the course (no colour options). This is for practicing the stitches and techniques. You can either purchase your own raffia for a bag or I have added the option of buying enough raffia to make a shopper sized bag. Please note, I have only purchased 2 sets of each colour so the colours will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

If you are buying your own, you will need at least 405m of raffia yarn that is suitable for knitting/crochet. Please note that not all raffia sold is suitable for crocheting with – some of it will be designed exclusively for crafting/flower arranging etc and will not be nice to crochet with.

About the Raffia

Please note, this is in effect “paper yarn” and not traditional raffia which would have been made from leaves and is not very easy or cost effective to crochet with.

Important – Cancellation Policy

Should you need to cancel, refunds for the course can only be given up to 14 days before the start of the course and are subject to an administration fee of £15. The cost of any materials ordered cannot be refunded. After this time, i.e. 01/04/2024, I am unable to issue refunds as I have already committed to the hire of the venue and the purchase of all course materials and it doesn’t leave me enough time to find a replacement student to make the course financially viable for me. Additionally, refunds are not given if you are unable to attend some of the classes. Of course, full refunds will be given in the event that the course is cancelled due to the venue or I cancelling the course. Thank you for your understanding.
