Globe Craft Club: From knitting to miniatures to paper flowers, catch up on all our lessons

Welcome to Craft Club, the Globe’s event series and Facebook group where feature writer Jana G. Pruden and special guests taught new crafts, answered questions and connected with fellow crafters. Over the 13 classes in the series, we learned how to make ricotta and baked scones, pasted collages and painted watercolours, practised hand lettering and hand-stitched notebooks. You can catch up on all the lessons with the videos below, and get more details on the crafts and people we learned from in the accompanying links. We hope we inspired readers to tackle something new or revisit an old hobby, work through any challenges and make something they loved.
