While most of us now have a little extra time on our hands (between the Zoom quizzes and banana bread baking), crafts courses are a great way to pass the time, relieve stress and pick up some new skills. From terrarium workshops with the Botanical Boys to Grace & Cable’s knit and crochet classes, we bring you the best online crafts courses which you can do at home.
The Best At-Home Crafts Courses
Create a Wild Meadow Bouquet with Nikki Tibbles
Join Wild at Heart founder Nikki Tibbles on 9 July for a one-of-a-kind Wild Meadow Bouquet floristry workshop, in which 100 percent of all proceeds will be donated to the Wild at Heart Foundation, an animal welfare charity dedicated to the rescuing and rehoming of stray dogs. A box of Wild at Heart flowers will be sent direct to your door ahead of the event, as well as a private Zoom link – all you’ll need is a pair of scissors, a vase, and a little green-fingered ingenuity. Tickets £105, 9th July, 6-7pm, tickettailor.com
Botanical Boys x Wardian London Series
Now is the perfect time to spruce up your home decor – and what better way to do so than with plants? Both beautiful and beneficial, plants help to minimise stress, enhance our indoor air quality and more. In fact, a study carried out by Wardian London, Matt Morley and scientists from the University of Essex, revealed that 74 percent of participants entering a biophilic-designed room found they had improved moods, whilst 87 percent reported lower levels of stress. In addition, users felt overall more productive, creative and connected to nature. If you’re inspired to breathe some new life into your own home, join the Botanical Boys and Wardian London’s series of free 15-minute virtual terrarium workshops and plant-care masterclasses. 18 May-22 June. Register your complimentary space via eventbrite.co.uk
