Stumbling across an opportunity...

Randomly came across this site from an ad on a dezeen mag website sidebar;

http://d3vmfybluh5c6v.cloudfront.net/assets/hero-24340a1777ddc0cace743f45ee0da233.jpgFrom what I initially gather, it's a website by which loads of "amazing" crafters and artists can get people interested in what they do, and sign up to classes to learn the skills.
 
I will definitely peruse the videos some more, and conviently for me the classes are held in London. Though it is possible to nominate your town.
 
This re-ignites my concerns whether wishing to leave London for univeristy is the right move, bearing in mind I want to do an experimental creative course and there are such great and diverse opportunities here.
 
Though I know from experience that there are loads of crafters and traders all around the country (I learnt my knitting skills from Grandmother and Aunt. And the best quilting/ knitting shops I know are in rural villages/towns.) This site seems a simple friendly portal whcih easily encourages and engages the audience. 
 
The best bit is, supporting it is fuin and easy; just get involved!. If everyone does that, it can only grow!
