Rainy days and crafts are match made in heaven, so have a browse of our cosy craft classes online and craft classes in London (for the city dwellers among us). If you’re cooped up indoors (thanks to the great British weather), looking for things to do on a rainy day in London or at home, why not take the opportunity to try out a new hobby or dust off your once well-loved paintbrushes? With our creative craft classes, you might even start to enjoy your wet weather weekends.
We think there may be no warmer feeling than watching the rain pour down outside whilst you’re snug as a bug in a rug inside crafting the dreary afternoon away. From cosy crochet sets to soothing soy candle making, our rainy day indoor activities are sure to warm your cockles and get your creative juices flowing.
Whether you’re looking for a way to alleviate your cabin fever or are just on the hunt for some relaxing yet productive things to do at home during your drizzly day - here are our top online craft classes for rainy days:
Try your hand at soap making with this online class
When it comes to curing the boredom of a day cooped up indoors, why not try something completely new? Our soap making kits and virtual classes are a great way to spend your day lost in a creative (and slightly messy) DIY craft that has some sweet-smelling benefits.
With an online class and DIY kit, you can learn how to make soap using all the necessary soap making supplies by your side. From choosing the scents and colours to how to use soap moulds - you’ll learn it all!
After your relaxing soap making class, you could even treat yourself to a bubble bath with your very own homemade soap for a splash of rainy day self-care.
Enjoy nature despite the rain with some terrarium kits
If the rain is making you long for the great outdoors, we think some DIY terrarium crafting could help introduce a touch of nature to your home. If you didn’t already know, glass terrariums are little jungles which once concealed in their glass home become mini-eco-systems - which is good news for any plant killers out there, as it means they’re self-sufficient!
With a DIY terrarium craft kit and online class, you’ll learn all the steps from a green-thumbed terrarium expert on how to make your very own tiny wilderness world! It’s a great way to spruce up your space with a little DIY home decor as well as a wonderful way to relax, get creative and enjoy the company of some good-mood generating greenery.
Crochet your cares away with a crochet kit and virtual class
With the addictive craft of crochet, it’s easy to lose track of time, so if you’re looking for some fun things to do at home to help pass the long hours of a rainy afternoon - crocheting is the craft class for you. However, we must warn you, once you give it a go, you’ll be hooked for life.
From ‘how to crochet for beginners’ classes to more advanced virtual classes and courses for those looking to level-up their skills - there are online classes and DIY kits for everyone, from the crochet-curious to the crochet-confident!
Paint some sunny scenes with a painting class online
For a little escapism during your damp day, why not pick up a paintbrush and paint a more temperate scene? With one of our relaxing art classes, from watercolour painting to laid-back paint and sips, you’ll be able to paint yourself elsewhere and enjoy some soothing art therapy.
With our arty virtual classes, you’ll also be able to learn some tips and tricks from a professional artist over Zoom as you paint - so, not only will you end your online class with some wall-worthy art, but some newfound art skills too!
Get creative with some craft classes in London
If you’re knocking around the big smoke looking for a place to shield yourself from the rain, let our craft classes in London come to the rescue. From cosy candle making classes to whimsical wheel throwing, there's never been a better place to stay dry. When it comes to creative things to do in London, you really can't beat our crafty selection.
So, next time there's a Richmond rainstorm or a Hampstead Heath hailstone attack, venture indoors to a nearby art studio and let your emotions be free whilst your raincoat dries. Enjoy throwing some clay around and getting messy with our DIY pottery classes or learning how to make a stunning macrame wall hanging. Whether you want to make cute little coffee mugs or DIY earrings — there’s some creative fun to be had by everyone.
Warm-up by the fire with a candle making class and craft kit
Another wonderful rainy day DIY craft to try is candle making. From soy candles to beeswax candles, our natural candle making kits and virtual classes are an ideal way to warm up and get cosy with crafting when the weather outside is less than desirable.
With an online class and DIY kit, you can learn tips and tricks from top UK candle making artisans from how to mix the perfect scent to how to make your homemade candles look as pretty as can be. After the virtual class, you can light your candles and fill your home with soothing aromas for some cosy rainy day ambience.
Relax with a calming calligraphy class and DIY kit
If you’re looking for some calming craft classes to relax with on your rainy day, you can’t beat the meditative experience of calligraphy. Calligraphy is the art of writing beautifully - and it’s something that anyone can do (even those whose handwriting sometimes gets mistaken for a small child’s!).
So, if you fancy brushing up on your brush pen calligraphy, our calligraphy starter kits and virtual classes could be just what you need to learn how to write in style. With a calligraphy virtual experience, you’ll get to grips with the basics from a talented calligrapher during an online class. From choosing your pen nibs to learning how to write different letters - you’ll be on your way to pretty handwriting, homemade gift cards and beautiful bullet journals in no time!
