I recently found this website: https://www.craftcourses.com/ and I love it. It’s all kinds of classes from local artists/businesses all around the UK. For those who like to try new things or learn new skills this could be a fun way to do both. I’m here for quite a while so I’m looking at quite a few classes I might take on topics that interest me including water color painting, stained glass, soap making, cooking, and others. I thought it was a great way to learn a new/improve on a skill, meet some locals, and support the local community and small business owners so I thought I’d share.
