Learn traditional art skills and crafts with jaxs arts

Arts and crafts: Traditional activities.

With the resurging interest in learning traditional crafts and re inventing them for a modern world, here are a selection of the activities I am able to offer.

My approach is to help you to learn the basic skills that you need so that you then feel able to develop your own ideas.

These include

Cane work
