Hi, Welcome to Art Hobby Craft - the more you contribute, the more you gain.

Profile Information

Tell us here... My main art, hobby, craft is ....
Hi, I started ArtHobby.co.uk to spread the 'word' about paper clay. Although paper clay has been around for many years, it is still not as widely known about as it deserves to be.

Due to the many questions about other hobbies and crafts that I have received from members, it became clear that there are many people looking for somewhere to learn new crafts and share their own knowledge.

You can do that here. So please don't be shy, get stuck in, write about your arts and crafts, hobbies etc in the artists blogs section and post photos or videos to help others discover something new.

We also have a range of books on sale in the craft shop area - View Craft Books etc, and lots more for you to find throughout the site.

If you need any help or have a question, please message me.

enjoy, Diane

Thank you for the well wishes on the show. I always get a little tense about upcoming shows. I tried to make sure to have new pieces for the show. I will be taking photos of the new pieces so that I can feature them in my blog. I thank you again and will let everyone know how it goes.
Take care!!! : )

Thank you immeasurably for sending the information today regarding "how to make molds". There will be a bit of fine tuning here in the U.S.A. for products, but it will be easy. I look forward to reading it thoroughly and making my "buy" list.
Thank you also for your support and lifting words encouraging me to sell. Sure, maybe there is a bit of, well, shyness (maybe) which keeps me from taking it to the next level. I'll be hoping to continue to learn. Yes, this an exciting vanguard for me. You are like a fairy godmother for me... and here I was, unsuspecting. Could it be any more of a lovely surprise? I think not.
thank you thank you thank you

Hi Diane,

lol! I think you're right......everyone has wrapped up warm in the UK, probably toasting their toes in front of the fire and sipping a much needed glass of red! Even though I'm doing all of the above.....I've got my laptop perched on my knee and am dying to know what's new in the craft world!! Have a lovely eve! Katy
