Overview

Learn Crafts for FREE* at West Notts College!

Discover a world of creativity in our small, supportive, adult-only evening classes, perfect for beginners and craft lovers alike. Whether you’re picking up a needle for the first time or exploring new techniques, this course offers something for everyone in a fun and relaxed environment.

You’ll learn the basics of textiles and sewing, starting with simple hand stitches and moving on to beginner-friendly projects like cushion covers, tote bags and zip purses. Gain confidence using a sewing machine and build skills at your own pace.

Unleash your imagination with the cricut cutting machine, mastering its many functions to create personalised designs using the Cricut Design Space software.

You can also enjoy the delicate art of botanical watercolour and illustration, combining detailed observation with painting techniques to create beautiful and accurate plant portraits.

As an added bonus, you’ll also have the opportunity to showcase and sell any products you create through a brand-new pop-up shop, developed in partnership with our full-time business students. It’s a great chance to share your work with the community, gain real selling experience, and support a student-led enterprise.

Although many of our courses start in September, we offer flexible start dates and you may be able to join at different times throughout the year. Call 01623 413602 to speak to our Adult Learning and Skills team to find out more.
