Finally, a word about activity breaks. Activity breaks cover all sorts of pastimes that are not necessarily 'arts and crafts’. However, many of them do offer tuition in the sorts of things we have been talking about on these pages and so deserve a mention.

There are many, many commercial organisations that offer activity breaks. You don’t need me to list them for you; all you need do is to type ‘activity breaks’ into Google and you can read them for yourself. But did you know that, for example, the Youth Hostels Association runs activity breaks that cover crafts? Go to www.yha.org.uk/Types_of_Accommodation
/Activities/Art_and_Craft   and you will find a list of those that they offer.

 

Craft topics and links

City and Guilds also have a website, www.timetolearn.org.uk/
pls/ttl/ttl.show_index  that is an on-line directory of many activity breaks, including those covering crafts. You can also buy the directory as a book through the website. Either way, you will be opening up the opportunity to spend some time away in some lovely locations, such as shown in the picture in Monmouthshire.


Learning or developing your skills in a craft on an activity break can be lots of fun and very stimulating. You’re away from your usual environment, usually in very attractive surroundings with a group of like-minded people. Therefore it can be both energising and a lot of fun. Why not give it a try to see if you like the experience. But be careful – it can be addictive!
 

You've now reached the last page of the Guide so you have hopefully now got plenty of food for thought if you want to start learning some sort of craft. It can be theraputic, enjoyable, sociable and healthy. So choose which one(s) you want to do and get atarted!
