Just Arts and Crafts: WELCOME PAGE

Welcome to Just Arts and Crafts! This is the website for everybody interested in anything creative. Our aim is to help you to source your materials, discover new crafts and get tips, help and ideas from our ever-growing community.

As anyone involved in Arts and Crafts knows, sourcing the right materials is a large part of any craft. Here you’ll find a comprehensive list of arts and crafts. Within each category there is a detailed directory of stores and suppliers throughout the country and online, covering equipment and materials (and all sorts of goodies you never even knew you needed!). Just think; less time spent hunting for that just right item and more time to be creative!
How to use this site
Looking for a new craft?

Simply use the links on the right to browse the various arts and crafts that are represented on our website. Each category has an introduction explaining a little about the craft and its history, and tips and resources for getting started. You’ll notice that our list of crafts is constantly growing, as is the hobby and industry that it represents. Once you have found something that you think you like the sound of you can search the workshops listed on this site.
Shopping for supplies:

Under each craft area we have a directory of stores that stock supplies and equipment specific to this craft. Full contact and address details are provided, to help you find your best and closest supplier. The list also contains many online stores so that you don’t even have to leave your craft table to go and collect what you need.
For example if you are interested in cross stitch then you can click on that link and it will take you to a page explaining about that craft and then lead onto an alphabetical list of  stores that sell equipment and supplies for cross stitch. The entries within this directory are clearly listed by city. This will make it far easier for you to find something local to you, if that is what you need.

Meeting people interested in similar crafts:

Why not explore our Crafting Communities. This is our ever-growing list of arts and crafts groups, to help you to hook-up with like-minded people. These will be either a local group or an online community. There are further links on the communities page where you can get the information you need about each community to see whether it is what you are looking for and how to join in.

Get Involved!
As this website grows it is our intention to provide you with a one stop destination for all your crafting needs.  If you would like to contribute any suggestions of crafts that you think people would like to see included here then please do get in touch.

I have been teaching groups for several years now and I really enjoy it. It is rewarding in many ways: I love to see my students progress, I love the excitement about art that we share in the classes - and I love that it keeps me on my toes with my own work (because I need to observe where the...
