5.0 (10)I have been a crafter for as long as I can remember, it's definitely a family thing, my mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all crafters. I believe we are all born with a tiny seed of creativity, luckily for me it was nurtured throughout my upbringing.
I love creating and making - transforming beads, wool, cord etc into wonderful and unique creations! It's therapeutic and soothes my soul! The next best thing is passing on this knowledge through teaching.
I started teaching crafting around 2013/2014, initially Beadweaving and quickly became an international bead designer (see Dragonfly Designs UK) and as time went on I incorporated my other crafts, Needlefelting, Weaving, Wetfelting, Wool Spinning, Macrame, Crochet, knitting, Fluid Art - and still have more I want to discover.
I live and work 5 minutes from the ocean under the name 'Happy Ever Crafter' which is located on the Swansea Bay coast in South Wales, UK. Being so close to the ocean, national parks and mountains really sparks my creativity.

Lyubov, your highland cow is adorable, it's lovely to see him completely finished. You did an amazing job making him. Well done on your first ever needlefelting workshop

The venue is a little gem and Karen made it a nice relaxed class, being very patient with great instruction, I loved my first jewellery making workshop. I didn't manage to finish my piece in class so looking forward to finishing it at home and the next class, Thanks Karen

Joanne, you did a fantastic job at your first jewellery making class - you picked it up so quickly and have made some more beautiful pieces since the class. I'm looking forward to seeing you at the next one

Lovely welcome from Karen. Venue very suitable for class with all materials provided. Taught in a lovely calm manner. I came home with a lovely wet felted poppy and would be inspired to do more.
