Hi! Let me introduce myself, Rachel, the founder of Craft My Day!
Many of my students have told me I have their dream job and I wholeheartedly agree- I have my dream job too!
Sharing the love of craft and helping our local community is at the heart of what we do.
I am so proud to run Craft My Day. I am proud that we get such amazing feedback, that we have inspired so many and that we have created a space that is welcoming, inclusive and supportive to all ages and abilities.
I say ‘We’ because I have a growing, amazing team of local artists and creatives, that all hold similar beliefs and who are a joy to work with. I couldn’t do it without them.
The past 2 years through Covid has definitely been tough but it has also shown how important craft is, for mindfulness, to combat isolation, to grow confidence or to just take some time out from our busy lives – the illusive ‘me’ time!
To find out more about me and my background check out my Blog!
Much Love, Rachel xx
Vicky - Macrame, Chalk Paint and more!
I'm Vicky Hinds, I have worked at CMD since the very beginning, starting as a a Chalk Paint Teacher and for the past three and a half years a Macrame Teacher too.
Craft is huge for me! It has literally changed my life. It has given me the confidence to grow from a stay at home mum with two kids, to working with CMD and running my own business! Last year I set up Half Hitch Happy a small business that creates and sells beginner Macrame kits. After teaching my Macrame classes at CMD, students kept asking where they could get Macrame supplies from as they wanted to get on with their next project as soon as possible! So I set to creating a Macrame Plant Hanger Kit to replicate the one we made in class, and it has been a great success.
