Why attend craft classes?

  • IT PROMOTES CREATIVITY AND PROBLEM SOLVING 

Crafting provides a stage for creative expressions that feeds your imagination. Problem solving (e.g. which paint colour to use), decision making (using a certain decorative medium to enhance the paint colour) and using these skills to have an end product, are all benefits of attending craft classes.

  • RELIEVES STRESS

    Some activities that have been linked to stress relief, like academics and sport, can become competition.  However, this is not true for crafting. In contrast, crafting aids in converting negative energy into positive patterns.

Previous Craft Classes

Nicole No Comments

These are images of previous craft classes held. Students created amazing items, where they had the opportunity to learn new techniques such as decoupage, stencilling, distressing, glazing, and many more.

In most of the classes  offered, we use Granny B chalk finish paint. This is my absolute favourite chalk paint finish – why? Because it has exceptional coverage, you can use it on almost any surface with minimal preparation work needed, and they have the most amazing colours.
