Creative Crafts - Worksop Library - Adult Learning

The Creative Crafts course will give you the opportunity to explore a range of different craft techniques, while developing your skills using a wide selection of materials and processes.

You will learn how to create an assortment of products combining techniques including papercraft, collage, sculpting, printing, and painting.

During the course we will be focusing on using a wide range of techniques to create a variety of eye-catching products. We will use paper crafts, experimenting with colour and pattern to make beautiful greetings cards and artwork. We will create decorative products for the home, using a range of painting, collage and printing techniques to produce unique patterns and styles. We will also use basic sewing and macrame skills to construct simple textile products. Each week we will have fun exploring different processes and will create a range of products which you can take home.

You will learn about how you can use these media and techniques creatively by demonstrations, personal experimentation and individual tuition.

By the end of the course everyone will have explored and gained confidence in using a range of creative techniques and will have produced a collection of individualised products.
