Health benefits of paper crafts

When you sit down to work on any paper craft and ink hobby, what you’ll find is that you can easily enter into a flow state, which is like a mini meditation. Instead of thinking about any stress and responsibilities of the day, you’ll focus only on the paper in front of you. It’s a wonderful way to practice mindfulness through crafting. At the end of class you’ll have a finished product that you can be proud of. When you incorporate paper craft and ink hobbies into your daily routine, you’ll experience an overall boost in focus and creativity.

Anyone Can do Calligraphy

Really great session, nice way to ease into calligraphy especially for a first timer and no prior experience. Will most likely need a couple more sessions and practise to perfect my technique. Thanks Vanessa ????

Brush Lettering with Watercolours



This class was really well put together, every detail was thought about (including sending already filled water brushes in the kit). Vanessa was a great teacher so accommodating and she explained things in a very easy and simple manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. In this class the Vanessa breaks down the different brush strokes of brush lettering and shows you some ways water coloring is fun. Great class would recommend to others.

Make a Koinobori Fish



I did the Koinobori Fish workshop run by Pamela today with my 2 grandsons aged 3 & 5yrs. It was a lot of fun and interesting to learn of the Japanese custom of hanging them at the ground of their home to bring health and prosperity to children. The craft elements were supplied ahead of time with plenty for the class and extras to make more later. There was lots of variety to allow for individual creativity. The boys loved it and can’t wai to hang their wares for all to see. Thanks Pamela. From Julie Bill and Alfie

Create Alcohol Ink Art on Paper

Thoroughly enjoyed this class! Peta is a fantastic teacher and I highly recommend it. You don’t have to be an artist or consider yourself “creative” to give it a try - it’s a very forgiving and a great way to express yourself artistically without being an expert.

A very well explained class, good selection of materials. At first you were guided in making a couple of cards & by the end If the class only suggestions were made & you were prompted to use your own flair & imagination.
