Having been teaching courses in-person at Ewe Felty Thing in Llandudno using the name Craftucation for the last couple of years, we are now relaunching as a new online course platform! Ewe Felty Thing is a boutique craft shop created by Nikki Small and run with the help of Wendy Collins and Ann-Marie Warren. We’ve been open for over two years and even before that, we were teaching courses and clas
ses in a variety of crafts. From felting, crochet and knitting, to book sculpture and even a weekly art class for home-educated kids. We have covered a wide range of topics and helped many different students explore their creativity. Craftucation specialises in high quality, in-depth craft courses for beginner, intermediate and advanced artisans. We are in the process of developing our new platform, which we hope will be a collaborative creative community. We have lots of really exciting plans about how it’s all going to work. We want it to be driven by you – our tutors and students. For tutors, we want this to be a great platform to deliver your courses through, where you get feedback and interaction with your students, and get a decent wage for all the work you put in. For students, we want this to be a friendly and supportive platform where you can learn new skills as well as expanding on your existing ones, where you can not only study, but interact with others, share your triumphs and feel supported through your attempts. We really believe in the wonderful benefits that art and craft can have, including on your mental health. We love being a part of this inclusive and supportive industry, and we can’t wait to build a new and exciting part of it with you. If you’d like to follow our journey, then please check out our blog or our social media. If you’d be interested in joining us as a tutor or as a student, then please consider signing up to our mailing list to get all the details of how, when and where the platform will be available.
