In this session, students enjoy activities like:

Sewing

Weaving yarn

Rug making

Cutting materials

Coming up with a design

Upcycling

In Craft sessions, you will use materials to make creative things. You will work closely with your instructor to choose a craft you enjoy and feel comfortable doing. 

You can also bring your own ideas and create your own designs.

Everyone works at their own speed. You can take your time and build your skills step by step.

Some big projects may take a year to finish – but it feels amazing when your work is done! Sometimes, your finished piece might even be sold.

In 2024, our Craft students worked with Eurotunnel to upcycle their donated uniforms into usable items – like purses and bags.
