Decoupage

Macramé

Needle Felting
Needle felting is an art where you shape loose wool by poking it with a special needle. The needle tangles the fibers together, turning soft wool into a firm shape.
Sea Glass
Sea glass art uses smooth, frosted glass pieces found on beaches to make decorative items like jewellery, mosaics, and pictures.
Watercolour Painting
Watercolour painting uses water-based paints to create transparent layers, building colour from light to dark.
Our Creative Vision
Crafty Arts isn’t just about the finished piece; it’s about the hands that create it and the friendships formed along the way.
Led by professional and patient tutors, our workshops provide welcoming learning environments where you can slow down, engage, and develop your craft skills alongside a like-minded creative community.
Each workshop features a selection of six to nine different crafts, each taught in a three-hour session. Choose from morning, afternoon, or full-day options to suit your availability and budget.

About Us
Crafty Arts Fayres & Events was founded in April 2024 by Samantha (Sam) Walker. Sam’s love of crafts became a full-time career during lockdown in 2020, when she began creating a range of beautiful beaded home decorations. What started as a personal creative passion soon grew into a small business, enabling her to share her handmade designs with a wider audience at fayres and events over the past five years.
This journey naturally led Sam to begin teaching craft classes in March 2025. Alongside her own creative practice, she is passionate about encouraging others to explore their creativity. Sam organises multi-craft workshops that bring together a variety of talented artisans, giving participants the chance to “try before they buy” and experience different crafts in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Her workshops are designed to inspire creativity and help build confidence.
