Craft Circle Course 1 (Sept/Oct)
Course Description:
Have you wanted to try a new craft but don’t quite know which one to choose? Then this 4 week craft circle course is for you!
Each week you will be given a new craft project to try and, hopefully, in the process may fall in love with a new hobby. Every student will be given their own personal kit to complete each week with instructions on how to get it started (and finished) provided in the class. Don’t get it finished in class? Don’t worry! You can take it away with you and complete it at home as all materials are provided. Miss a week of the course? Again not to worry, your craft kit will be waiting for you the next week you rejoin us. You do not require any previous craft experience to complete this course.
This course is intended to give the student a brief introduction to four crafts as follows:
.
Week 1 – Diamond Art Sun Catchers
What’s this you ask? Think ‘painting by numbers’ but you are using diamonds to complete the picture rather than paint, creating an eye catching piece of art in the process. This week we will create some diamond art sun catchers that you can hang up on your wall
.
Week 2 – Embroidery for Beginners
This week you will be given a beginner’s embroidery kit with everything you need to complete a lovely pattern along with instructions on how to set up your hoop and how to do different stitches. This project will not be finished in class, as it does take a lot of time to do, so you will be encouraged to take it home with you and complete it at your own leisure.
.
Week 3 – Mosaic Coaster
This week you will create a mosaic coaster introducing you to this simple yet satisfying art form. As this is a simpler project you may have time left over in the class so feel free to bring along your embroidery project from Week 2 to work on if you haven’t already completed it at this stage
.
Week 4 – Scratch Art
For this last week you will try your hand at scratch art, which is exactly what it sounds like. Using your scratching tool you will scratch away at a black canvas with a predrawn design to reveal the colours underneath and the overall pretty picture.
.
Please Note:
(Please be advised that a craft may be changed at short notice in the unlikely event that the materials required become unavailable but rest assured the substitute will still be as interesting!!)

Tutor: Amy Fortune Lynch
I have loved crafting for as long as I remember, beginning when I used to help my mother make birthday cards as a girl. I enjoy the process involved in creating something new along with the peace and relaxation it brings and love to bring this experience to new people in the hope that they will also find their happy place through crafts. I’m particularly interested in cross stitch and diamond art but, through setting up and teaching my own personal craft circle with family and friends over the past 6 months, I have been introduced to new crafts such as painting by numbers and embroidery and am now enjoying these new craft projects. I hope that the same process will positively inspire any students who decide to take part in the course.
