About Crafts for Wellbeing

I’m Carrie, and I’m an art and crafts teacher based in Derwentside, north east England.

I have been teaching art and crafts since the early 2000s. Through personal experience, and having lived with depression and anxiety since the early 1990s, I know just how engaging with art and crafts can bring about a wonderful sense of wellbeing and relaxation. I absolutely love passing on my knowledge and the benefits of art and craft for wellbeing.

I particularly enjoy teaching absolute beginners, so rest assured, whatever your art and craft experience, I will guide you through the process and make it as enjoyable as I can for you!

I love to share my knowledge and tips and techniques, so I hope you'll find the classes fun and informative.
