Hello, I'm Harsha, a self-taught crafter with a passion for creativity, wellbeing, and sharing the joy of making. Together with my husband, Wayne, I run India Inspired Crafts, where we believe everyone can enjoy being creative, whatever their experience.
Based in rural Leicestershire, I teach relaxed, hands-on craft workshops designed to help you slow down, learn something new, and enjoy creating with your own two hands. Whether you're picking up a craft for the very first time or already have years of experience, you'll always receive a warm welcome.
We are based at Abbey Grange Tearoom, in rural Leicestershire where we run daily drop-in craft sessions. These informal workshops are perfect if you'd like to enjoy a creative activity at your own pace while visiting the beautiful countryside, and enjoying a delicious lunch from the Tearoom.
Our workshops are friendly, supportive, and completely pressure-free. They offer the chance to:
Learn new creative skills
Relax and unwind through crafting
Meet like-minded people
Create something unique to take home
Everything is designed to be accessible, enjoyable, and a little different from everyday life.
Alongside the workshops, we also have a gift shop at Abbey Grange Tearoom, filled with a carefully chosen selection of handmade gifts and crafts. Every item is created with care, making it easy to find a thoughtful gift or a special treat for yourself.
When I'm not teaching or creating new projects, you'll usually find me crafting at home, spending time in the garden, or out walking in the countryside looking for inspiration.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing someone discover a new hobby, build confidence in their creativity, and leave with something they've made themselves.
Whether you're joining one of our workshops, dropping in for a creative session at Abbey Grange Tearoom, or browsing our handmade gifts, we would love to welcome you.
We look forward to helping you discover the joy of creativity and the positive impact it can have on your wellbeing.
