Today some of the lovely people at Craft Central in Clerkenwell allowed me observe and participate in a workshop to make Christmas decorations. As it was the last workshop before Christmas there were also a lot Craft Central interns present, these people work for free and have a real interest in crafting, some of them being designer makers themselves.
During the workshop I observed a lot of co-discovery, pupils teaching and helping each other. The attendees were all very warm, welcoming, friendly, encouraging and positive.
Everyone was creative in their own way, some strictly followed the instructions to create beautiful pieces, others interpreted it their own way, and some people just used the equipment and supplies to create their own expressions of their imaginations.
There was a range of people present, there were groups of friends, mother's and daughters, individuals, and even one guy! (Normally I found these things to be predominantly female).
