Craft Circle Course 2 (Nov/Dec)

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 – Cross Stitch

Students will be introduced to this needlecraft as we create a cross stitch bookmark together. The pattern will be provided to the student along with all materials to complete it. Please note that this project will not be finished within the class time and you will be encouraged to take it home with you to complete at your leisure.

Week 2 – String Art

This unique artform uses a wooden board with pegs or nails and colourful string to complete a predetermined pattern that has been mapped out on the board. The result is a unique piece of artwork that you can hang on your wall. 

Week 3 – Mini Building Blocks

This week some of us will be transported back to our childhood days of using a certain brand of bricks to create a work of art. In the case of this week we will be using mini bricks to create a cute bird that can fit in the palm of your hand. Patience will be required, as the pieces are quite small to work with, but once you get going you’ll be delighted to see your creation slowly coming to life and becoming…well… A cute bird!

Week 4 – Diamond Art Fridge Magnet
.
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 decorate a set of shiny, shimmery fridge magnets. You may not get time to complete them all in the class so you will be encouraged to take the kit home with you and finish it at home at your leisure. 

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.
