As the period of lock-down continues, we're all looking for activities we can do at home. Craft activities are the perfect way to keep our minds and hands occupied, so we thought we'd share with you a selection of online tutorials and workshops to keep you busy. We highly commend these inspiring designers and makers who have turned their minds to developing their businesses in ways they had probably never imagined, providing the public with the means to pursue a creative outlet in such difficult times.  TwoMe is a Hampshire based business, run by Isabella. She is a self-taught maker, who runs a variety of workshops in macrame and natural dyeing. She has developed a whole programme of online workshops and tutorials that you can sign up to using the link below.  Elka is a Hampshire based textile design studio, producing bespoke hand woven textiles for fashion and furnishings. In addition to this, Ellie and her mum Claudia offer a range of weaving and natural dyeing workshops. In response to the current situation, they started a YouTube channel, where they have been uploading free tutorials on how to do your own weaving at home, like this beautiful branch weaving. Access all their tutorials via the link below.  The Hampshire Art Studio are offering virtual life drawing classes via Zoom, as well as an art club which takes place on a weekly basis.
