COVID-19 is here and we are only running courses when government guidelines permit.
For the meantime we have set up a weekly online get together, CAM Zoom Craftanoon, Thursdays at 4pm. If you would like to join us please sign up to our newsletter to receive the link.
This page hosts all the activities we have been exploring through the pandemic; our initial #covidcrafting makes and activities from our CAM Zoom Craftanoons.
We love to see what our community of makers has been up to, send us an email or if you’re using social media please tag @cambridgeartmakers and use #covidcrafting.
Without being able to run our courses during this pandemic our income is compromised. We have lots of loyal participants who are supporting us at this time, and we want to be able to get up and running quickly when possible. If you would like to support us, please buy vouchers for courses in the future or donate.
The Original #covidcrafting
In March 2020 when the first lockdown was announced we thought everyone could do with a bit of creativity to encourage action, wellness and sense of remote community.
We created 7 prompts for 7 days of 7 crafts you can do with things you might already have at home. This was when 7 days of isolation was the norm!!
Be inspired by our prompts or come up with your own.
We’ve gone for inspiration here rather than full instructional videos and details. Many of our current followers will have already used some of these skills in the past so we didn’t want to bore them with the details 😉
If you’re new here though you should be able to find detailed instructions online, or email us if you would like help from us and we’ll see what we can do 🙂
Colouring sheets
Our Watercolour Flowers course tutor, Janet Edwards, has very kindly done some lovely line drawings of flowers that can be printed off and coloured in. A very relaxing activity!


Linton Children’s Book Festival
Linton Children’s Book Festival was supposed to be the weekend of the 16th – 17th May 2020 and we were looking forward to doing some dragon themed craft with them. They have had to postpone the festival but we thought it would be nice to share the dragon mask we prepared as a colouring sheet or to be made into a mask.
