5 Crafts Trends for 2020

Stained Glass Crafts

Stained glass making has really taken off this year, with a 127 per cent increase in searches for stained glass tools and supplies on Etsy. Bright, colourful and often showcasing some kind of narrative, artists have been creating decorative stained glass for centuries, so it’s not hard to find inspiration. Stained glass specialist Cheryl Powling hosts a range of workshops at her home studio in north London. Practice lead work, foiling or create pretty mosaic pendants. cherylpowlingglass.co.uk

Flower Arranging

It’s a craft that never appears to go out of fashion. Instead of splashing out on big-budget bouquets, learn to create beautiful floral arrangements of your own. Book a Styling the Seasons workshop with Wild Bunch at its farm in Shropshire. For those in the city, Bloomsbury Flowers is your go-to. wildbunchflowers.co.uk; bloomsburyflowers.co.uk

Mindful Crafts

An effective antidote to the bustle of everyday life, the mindful crafts concept continues to grow. From calligraphy to colouring in (not just for kids, you know), exercising your creativity has a multitude of health benefits from alleviating stress to boosting brain productivity, not to mention switching off from the rest of the world. Head to Mindful Crafts in Solihull for an array of relaxing and wellness-centred workshops, from Folk art to felting and macramé. mindfulcrafts.co.uk

Life Drawing

In a world infiltrated by Photoshop and unrealistic body expectations, life drawing has become an antidote to the superficial. Classes are emerging across the country, from the more traditional to the outlandish – even burlesque and cabaret life drawing is a thing. Artist Lily Holder hosts monthly classes with FreeForm Life Drawing at Chelsea’s No 11, Pimlico Road. Join her for music, drinks and plenty of sketching. darwinandwallace.co.uk

From dedicated retreats to this summer’s Festival of Quilts 2020, patchwork and quilting are firmly back in fashion. Benefits from the hobby include reduced stress and enhanced hand-eye coordination. Ray Stitch in London hosts regular patchwork and quilt making classes. raystitch.co.uk
