Crafting is the art of skilfully producing something by hand. Some people craft for business and some craft for pleasure, but crafting is undeniably becoming an increasingly popular activity and the range of items you can produce is vast.
Whether you are a passionate potter or jubilant about jewellery there is something for everyone in this quick guide to craft activities in Surrey.
Paint a Pot
If ceramics is your thing then pot painting is a great activity to share with the little people in your life. Head to a local pot painting venue (there are many to choose from) where you can select your pottery item of choice and customise it to your own design. After your done you will have a personal keepsake to take home and enjoy.
Make some Jewellery
If you have both a passion for crafting and a love of all things bling then why not check in to the Surrey Jewellery School. They offer a wide range of jewellery making classes for all abilities. You’ll be able to work from many mediums such as clay, beading, enamelling, wirework and glass work, and come away with a beautiful handmade treasure to wear for special occasions or every day.
Make-up masterclass
If mastering make-up is on your to do list then how about a course at Kristina Gasperas Beauty Academy? Offering a range of masterclasses from bridal make-up tuition to portrait photography. Start as a newbie or hone your existing skills.
Grab your Sketch Book
Getting crafty doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Grab your sketch book, paints, pencils or whatever mediums you like to work with, and head out to one of the many stunning parks, lakes and woodlands in Surreys Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Take a picnic (handmade of course) and capture the beauty on paper.
Have a Crafty Lunch
Make craft a part of your dining experience. Why not head to theflintgate.co.uk and book in to sample some quality, locally brewed, craft beer, ale and cider alongside a fabulous lunch. If you feel inspired, why not pick up a home brewing kit and give brewing a go yourself.
Satisfy your sweet tooth
If you still have room after lunch then how about combining two pleasures in life by crafting your own delicious chocolate at Cocoa Island? You can make your very own bars, truffles or chocolate dipped delights, and the best bit is you get to take them home to eat!
Appreciate the Craft of Others
If you’re seeking inspiration why not head to a craft market. There are many to choose from throughout the year and they can offer great inspiration for the budding crafter. Plus offering unique and thoughtful gifts for special occasions such as birthdays and Christmas.
You could also head to the Lightbox, a museum and gallery suitable for the whole family. Appreciate the range of frequently changing exhibits or take part in an array of craft activities including drawing, calligraphy, tie dye and much more.
Be Inspired
Whatever your interest there is sure to be an activity to inspire your creativity and motivate you to get crafting. You may even discover a brand-new love which you can take away with you and practice at home.
