Art and Crafts for Adults

[fted]

I'm an adult and enjoying making arts and crafts at Wychwoods 2005 and 2006 but at 2007 the arts and crafts workshops seemed very much to be aimed at kids and I didn't feel right taking up their places! Is there any chance of having some arts and craft sessions that are aimed at adults this year?

hi

jem here - i look after all the workshops and family activities at the festival.

we have tried at previous festivals to put on craft / making sessions for all ages - with an emphasis on childrens / family activities. many of the activities are suitable for adults but once the sessions are running i know that they are very busy, mainly with children and it can be a bit inhibiting to get involved. we have done a few adult only sessions each year and i hope that this year there will be a few more. keep an eye on the website and i will try to flag up any sessions that are just for adults.

i know that some people see the workshops area as the 'kids' area when there are lots of activities for all ages and i hope to be able to indicate sessions aimed at adults more clearly in the programme.

last year we had a great storyteller who's stories are aimed at adults but he ended up with lots of kids as many people think storytelling is just for kids.
