Strawberry Patch Crafters
Tutor
Hi,
Would you like your children to to come to a studio where the first thing they will say when they walk in is "WOW"! And where the smile on their face grows wider when they realise that they can take their creation(s) home. It has also been said on many occasions that it is "the best holiday camp ever"!
Well that's what happens here!
I'm Tania and I am as keen a crafter now as I was when I was a child. I still have the "Things to Do" book that I had then, with tick marks beside all the crafts that I made, although it is in a bit of a sorry state now!
I have set up these craft classes to share my knowledge and excitement in crafting with children, so that they too can enjoy the fun, benefits and skills that crafting can bring. Technology is great but sometimes you just have to sit down and occupy your mind and hands with old fashioned crafting and let your creative ideas flow.
The studio is also a place for Adults to come and enjoy, either with their own project or to take part in one of the Workshops.
The studio is a large, bright and airy room with plenty of space for all sorts of crafting. Our cupboards hold a huge supply of resources and at the end of the session your happy child will bring home their own wonderful creations and I clean up all the mess!
You may find some of the crafted items that I make on sale in the studio as well some craft kits that has been prepared knowing from experience what the children like to make.
I hold DBS and PL Insurance certificates.

Craft Classes for Children
Many find a sense of calm in crafting and it is a good hobby to undertake alone or within a group. Crafting builds self-esteem and confidence and involves problem solving. Not all children will enjoy being sporty, bookworms, high tech or academic achievers etc. Some need time to explore and find an outlet for their imaginations.
There are many types of craft available and I hope to cover as many as possible, We could be using pens, paints, pebbles, wood, cardboard, thread, fabric, pine cones and conkers, pasta or playdough and anything else we think will be fun!
Most classes will have a subject or theme and children can enjoy exploring their ideas and imaginations to create masterpieces!
