Our Homecraft courses are a brilliant way to fit something just for you into your calendar each week. Enjoy our relaxed, welcoming, and friendly environment as you fit something into your calendar each week that's just for you.
From Sewing and Knitting to Silver Jewellery and introductions to origami, there is plenty to get involved in. Take a look at our full course list to see what could inspire you next.
Once you’ve enrolled on one of our Homecraft courses, you will join fellow crafters who share your passion in our small and friendly classroom environments. Our priority is to help you find confidence in your new skills and show you all that is possible with them.
From designing and planning your own jewellery and garments, to learning about the specialist tools and equipment needed; our courses will begin by giving you the tools and knowledge you need to have fun and get creative and imaginative with your craft.
Once you’ve mastered the skills needed, you’ll work on your own projects to create pieces you love, all whilst being supported and guided by our professional tutors.
