Where did it all begin?

Having worked for many years in high pressure roles in 2018 I did a sweep round my house collecting all the unfinished craft projects I had really enjoyed starting but had never found the time to complete and made the life changing decision to start my dream business. Life can become so fast paced we forget to take time to focus on the things we most enjoy; like creating beautiful things with our hands. 

2019

I started teaching 60 minute workshops locally including all my favourite crafts. The aim being to teach people that by setting aside a little dedicated time with the right guidance they can succeed at a new craft and complete a beautiful project they can be proud of.

Workshops were in demand and I began delivering two evening classes a week; visiting a host of daytime venues and offering private craft parties and corporate crafting.

2020

On the verge of a pandemic I launched a range of Craft Kits. 

In March lockdown for Covid19 began and it was important for me to keep everyone crafting. It is such a mindful activity and I knew it would help me through the coming months so I wanted it to help others too. Daisy's Craft Members Club was born providing clients with the opportunity to learn a new craft every month making the most of their very own craft stash! Workshops were moved online to keep everyone safe and to keep crafting.

2021

Well what a year! Face to Face Workshops return with caution and some socially distanced at venues appropriate to be Covid Safe!

And in August I made the move from Dorset to Herefordshire and Daisy's 60 Minute Crafts spread her wings! 

2022

Setttled now in Herefordshire and traveling to Dorset for two Craft Days a year.

And in March and November Daisy's 60 Minute Crafts exhibited at The Creative Craft Show at the NEC as a specially selected educator.

2024

The busiest year for Daisy's 60 Minute Crafts to date. Two large lottery funded projects to encourage crafting in village halls across Herefordshire kept me crafting through the Summer this year. Two trips to Dorset and two exhibitions at The Creative Craft Show. And many hours of workshops; has made it an amazing year.

2025

The highlights were meeting the inspirational Sara Davies at The Creative Craft Show and being asked to judge the Crafting entries at a Ploughing contest, learning to teach silver clay and arm knitting. Alongside my two visits to Dorset and the NEC.
