LCCA blog: What’s on this month
With 2020 behind us and what seems some like some light at the tunnel with the vaccine, there are more reasons than one hope for a better year. Many fashion and art colleges have moved to online teaching online for now, so while many of you are learning from home, you may want a distraction from your art, design or fashion courses. We may still be in lockdown, but if last year taught us one thing, it’s how to have fun from home!
As many of you are at art and design college or studying fashion courses, we’re sure you’ve found lots of creative ways to keep busy. Just in case you’re struggling for ideas, however, we’ve outlined some things to do below. Want to know the best part? You can get involved with all these things without leaving the front room! Not only will this help stop the spread of the pandemic, but it also means you don’t have to head out into the cold (there’s always a plus side!)
