Make 2022 your most creative year yet with traditional crafting courses and kits from Yodomo
Aim for less screen time and more “me” time in 2022 and reap the benefits of getting creative. And www.yodomo.co is the perfect place to find your next project.
By now, we should all know the benefits of making with our hands: it revitalises the mind and reduces anxiety and stress, it helps us relax after working in front of a screen and it gives us a better understanding of how materials are used so that we’re more mindful of waste. When you engage in crafts, you can learn a new creative skill whilst stimulating your creativity so that even as you unwind, you’ll be supporting your mental wellbeing.
We've all had a difficult few months, so we deserve to focus on making the loads we've taken on lighter. And what better way to do that than to resolve to spend more time honing our creativity? For those curious about how to inject more mindful making into their life, we've gathered some of our favourite creative kits that will help jumpstart creativity. Whether you’re a veteran to crafty projects and need something new and exciting to dive into, or whether you want to dip your toes in to see whether it’s right for you, our independent instructors and makers offer the ideal kits and courses for all levels.
