So, you’re done with sitting around and looking for DIY crafty things to do in lockdown, but your inspiration and creativity has been lacking recently. Understandably, whilst in lockdown it can really hard to feel positive and do productive things at home. We’ve all got our routines but when you’re faced with being stuck at home for a long period of time, there’s only so much TV one can take. Our online classes are here to save the day.

Finding things to make at home is a great way to keep your brain active and we’re here to help you slide out of being a couch potato and become a happier person not only for your wellbeing but for your sense of self. We’re all guilty of saying how much we’ve wanted to learn new skills or take up new hobbies but when do we ever have the time to do it? If there’s one positive thing about lockdown it’s that it’s given us more time in the day to be crafty and get creative with how we fill our time. 

Research shows us every day how important our mental health is, and there’s no better time to improve your own wellbeing by taking the time to do something for yourself. We’re here to help guide your path to true happiness that consumerism just won’t sustain by introducing you to some of our incredible online classes and crafty things to do in lockdown we’ve specifically designed for you. 

If you’re looking to fill your creative void, here’s some of our most popular online classes for you to get stuck into. 

1. Make your own terrarium 

We know terrariums look really hard to build, but it can be done with a bit of guidance and patience. Plants have become a staple for every home because they bring so much life and vibrance to your personal space which is why our online terrarium classes are so popular. 

While filling your bedroom with plants will bring more oxygen to your room which will undoubtedly help you sleep better, it can be a nightmare to look after them. Many people feel the burden to look after their plants and find it difficult to know when to water them. It can be unsettling not knowing if you’re watering them too much or not enough and the brilliant thing about terrariums is that they don’t need a lot of water. With their greenhouse-esque structures, terrariums actually recycle their water rather than it evaporating into the air like other plants. This means you’ll only need to water them maybe even once a month at the most! 

It’s good to start off small when creating your own little jungle at home and a terrarium is the perfect way to get started. If you’re wondering how to get hold of terrarium kits, we’ll send one right to your front door packed by one of our amazing local British terrarium teachers in time for when the class starts. 

Once the class has started, you’ll learn how to make a terrarium and you’ll have the opportunity to create your own design. The beauty about making a DIY terrarium is you’ll be able to create more for family and friends once lockdown is over, making them excellent birthday and Christmas gifts. Plus you’ll feel like you’ve found productive crafty things to do in lockdown!

2. Join a sociable online paint and sip class 

If you’re looking to get a bit crafty and creative with your lockdown activities, bring out your sociable side in an online paint and sip class. The best thing about joining this online art class is that you don’t need to be an experienced painter as it’s all about having fun! Whether you want to learn to paint or you’re simply looking for painting parties, sip and paint or as we like to call it painting with a twist is the perfect way to brighten up your lockdown blues. 

Paint and sip is exactly what you think it is – paint and drink! These fun online art classes for adults are all about unwinding and getting creative as the class learns to paint a recreation of a famous painting. This is of course not forgetting about sipping on your favourite glass of wine at the same time. 

The beauty about the class is you can be sociable with the other people in the class over Zoom whilst you’re bringing out your creative side and drinking wine at the same time! It ticks so many boxes, you’ll be signing up to the next painting class in no time!

3. Make beautiful ceramics at home

Pottery classes have become so popular, we can really see why people love them so much. It’s one of the creative outlets many people haven’t tried until recently. It’s not something we learnt at school and whilst we all love the idea of sitting on a pottery wheel coming up with a beautiful creation, it can be hard to take the leap if you’re a total beginner.

Fear not! With our new online pottery classes, you’ll be able to make your own pottery at home. Imagine the beautiful crockery you could end up replacing the splurge you had last time you went to IKEA! Not only could you make your own pottery, you’ll learn how to make more to give to friends and family as gifts.
