Or try your hand with different fabrics to make cushions or wall hangings for your home.
Paper Crafts and Linocuts
A piece of paper has so much potential! Take a blank page and create something unique. Make your own personalised letters or greeting cards by learning traditional and contemporary calligraphy techniques. Or explore the diverse world of printmaking and linocuts.
Make Art from Recycled Materials
You don’t need fancy materials to make unique pieces of art – you can use what’s around you! Turn a forgotten item into something new and exciting, or check out materials you might normally throw out and give them a new lease on life. Turn old clothes into a bag or use everyday items to make a work of art – the possibilities are endless!
