Welcome to Happy Makes Art

17th May 2016 by Caroline

Caroline has been teaching crochet and knitting since 2011, under the name Carry Yarn Stitching. This is rewarding work, but now it’s time for a new chapter.

Happy Makes is relevant for everyone – we can all improve our lives through being creative, and you don’t need to be an artist or be able to draw a straight line.

We aim to:

  • Share knowledge and preserve techniques
  • Celebrate the beauty and fun in everyday items and activities
  • Create, Experiment and Play, and encourage others to do the same
  • Improve our lives and help others to improve theirs through living creatively
  • Challenge the perceived gaps between craft, art and science; revel in their differences and similarities

Lovely weather so I've done most of it outside, listening to the birds.
