    Kraftworks!

    The Kraftworks for Kids program has been designed from the ground up to engage creative children. The activities that we offer all encourage patience, persistence, and practical skills. They are both challenging and entertaining.

    All of our activities are structured around Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced levels of capability. Our Leaders are trained to ensure that your child receives the right amount of guidance for their level of ability.

    Activities

    At Kraftworks for Kids all of our activities are available every day at each of our locations. If your child is interested in any of the activities that we offer then we have the Leaders and the kits to ensure they have fun!

    Our main activities include Figurine Painting, Jewellery Making, Plasterkraft, Scale Modelling, and Stitchery. Any spare time is occupied by Kumihimo and Origami. When we take a break we play awesome boardgames.

  • Fun!

    Fun!

    We developed the school holiday program that we wanted our children to attend. A program for creative kids that would encourage their creativity as well as develop their practical skills while having fun with their friends.

    It is important to us that kids attending the program have fun. If they are having fun then they are engaged by the activities. If they are engaged by the activities then they are learning new skills and developing existing ones.

Stitchery
Beautiful projects for nimble fingers!

Stitchery is a wonderful, practical pastime that has been enjoyed by young and old for centuries. It is a very social activity, providing an opportunity for participants to meet new people and have a chat while working on their individual projects. At Kraftworks we teach beginners all about long stitch, we teach more advanced Kraftworkers about tapestry, and we teach the old hands about cross-stitch.

All participants select a kit from amongst those available. Our Leaders show the students the basics and then they work on their kit at their own pace. Leaders are always on hand to provide assistance or tackle those extra tricky bits that sometimes arise in any project.

Kits

We have a range of beautiful kits for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. Beginners learn the basics of stitching using Long-stitch kits. These are very easy to do and give students the confidence to tackle more complex stitches and projects. Intermediate students learn tapestry. Our tapestry kits are straightforward but tapestry takes longer to do than long-stitch. Our expert stitchers learn cross-stitch. We have small kits and large kits. These kits are equally complicated; what differentiates them is the amount of time they take to complete.

Stitchery: A passtime for the generations

Lunch Orders

At Kraftworks we have our lunch between 12:00 and 1:00. During this time there is no craft activity. Instead we eat lunch, watch DVDs, and play tabletop games. At each Kraftworks location we have organized a local eatery to provide a lunch order service for staff and students. Lunch orders are placed at 10:00 for a 12:00 delivery.

Patience

Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.
