Craft Demonstrations & Workshops

From pottery classes for children to glass-blowing lessons for grown-ups, in the Lake District you can really get to grips with a host of crafts. You can learn how to carve wood and engrave stone, work with paper and try your hand at weaving yarn out of wool.
 

You may leave the Lake District, but once you’ve been, it’ll never leave you.
