Adults Beginner Knitting Taster Class

Never picked up needles before?
Then class is for you!
Curious about knitting but not sure where to start? This relaxed, beginner-friendly knitting class is the perfect introduction. You’ll learn how to cast on, knit, purl and cast off, with plenty of individual support, clear demonstrations and time to practise at your own pace. Whether you’re picking up needles for the first time or returning after years away, this session offers a mindful, friendly introduction to knitting, and the joy of making something with your hands.

Please note we keep the class size limited to 6 people this means classes sell out quickly.

What to bring
You don't need to bring anything. Yarn and needles will be available to use on the day.

What you leave with
You will take home the work you have created, enough yarn to keep practicing and instructions for the stitches you have been taught.

Your Tutor
Zara is a textile artist and teacher, a mother of two daughters, and the owner of one much-loved cat, Betty. With over 25 years’ experience teaching textiles, a degree in Textiles, and a Master's in Fashion Knitwear completed at Central Saint Martins, she brings both deep expertise and genuine warmth to her work. When she’s not teaching, Zara can often be found pottering in the garden, dipping in the sea or happily surrounded by needles, threads, yarns and all things textile. Her classes at Makers Studio Eastbourne are calm, friendly and confidence-building, offering beginners clear guidance, individual support and the mindful joy of learning to knit.
