Art Journey: Soft toy design & making

Let your creativity shine in this delightful three session Art Journey course, where you’ll design and hand make your very own soft toy from start to finish. Spread across three weekly sessions, this course gives you plenty of time to learn, experiment and build your skills at a relaxed, comfortable pace.

This course is perfect for beginners or anyone keen to explore textile crafts in a supportive, welcoming environment.

You’ll leave with a handmade soft toy to treasure — and the confidence to keep crafting at home.

This class is part of Art Journey, The Brain Charity’s new creative course designed to help you explore new skills, build confidence and enjoy a wide range of arts and crafts. Each activity focuses on a different technique — from drawing and watercolours to printing, pottery and more.

The full Art Journey course runs over 18 weeks, but you don’t need to commit to the full programme. Instead, you can sign up for the activities that interest you most.

You can choose from the following activities:

Week 1: Drawing
Week 2: Watercolours
Week 3: Felt decorations
Week 4 & 5: Air dry clay and painting
Week 6 & 7: Sewing
Week 8, 9 & 10: Block printing
Week 11 & 12: Crochet – amigurumi
Week 13, 14 & 15: Stone carving
Week 16, 17 & 18: Soft toy design and making

Some activities take place over two or three weeks, giving you plenty of time to learn, create and complete more in depth projects. If you choose a multi week activity, you will need to attend all sessions in that block, so you can complete your project from start to finish.

Places are limited to ten per class and are available on a first come, first served basis, so sign up today to avoid disappointment.

You can sign up for this block of sessions on its own or mix and match with other Art Journey sessions to design your own creative path. Please let us know which weeks you’d like to attend in the comments section of the form when you sign up.
