Short course ideas?

[Wateryglassy]

I’m feeling a little listless at the moment and had the idea to maybe do an evening course in something enjoyable.

Not sure where to start!

I live in London so i have infinity options.

Did anyone do a short course that they absolutely loved?

Preferably something in person, rather than online though - I’m all Zoomed out!

Any clues as to what you like?
Creative or studying?
i.e. do you want to be painting, acting, making stained glass or would you rather be learning French, studying philosophy or astrophysics?

Photography or ceramics

Look at your local colleges, adults courses.
Hope you find something you love!

Day courses I've enjoyed are various sewing ones, bread making, foraging

I did a pottery course before COVID and loved it. Taught me all kind of techniques such as the wheel and hand building. Got to keep everything I made to so now I have some lovely momentos.

I do French which comes as 15 week run of 2 hours a time. I live in back of beyond so don't have the choice you will have.

Other options that looked good were

Day courses to achieve one thing - like make a wreath for Xmas, or

Short courses at local art college where go for a handful of weeks and make a personally designed screen printed scarf/piece cloth, ceramic pot, piece of silver jewellery etc. It uses the art colleges facilities at weekends.

Like you say, hopefully you'll have lots of choice locally. If interested in creative ideas look at the art colleges with the facilities and see what they offer. Once you've done one, you'll probably find they offer lots of others!

Just have a browse at your local higher education college. I've done short courses (about a term in length) a few times over the years. The ones I enjoyed most were car maintenance, cookery, cake decorating and interior design
