[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text title_type=”h1″]With hindsight, it’s easy to see where the craft boom came from. A generation of consumers got sick of the uniform standards and homogenised experience of the modern high street and sought something that felt more real, more handmade, more local, that exuded that tantalising quality – authenticity. <\/p>\n

At the same time, makers, whether they’d toiled in relative obscurity for years or just felt like they couldn’t take their 9-5 office jobs anymore and decided to pursue their hobby full-time, found that the rise of e-commerce opened a whole new international market for their products, making them more viable businesses than ever before. Driven by these forces, over the last few years, the UK has gone craft crazy, with handmade fairs popping up all over the country and the likes of Kirstie’s Handmade Britain on Channel 4 and The Great Pottery Throw Down on the BBC bringing craft to the small screen like never before. <\/p>\n

As a result, the popularity of craft workshops and craft teaching is increasing massively, fuelled by Gen Zers who want to reconnect with the physical, manual world, retailers looking to improve the shopping experience, and companies on the lookout for team building activities that encourage focus and mental wellbeing (part of the near-ubiquitous wellness trend). All this means that 2020 is a great time to start a craft teaching business.
