As self-care becomes a bigger, more natural part of our lexicon and lives, the trend for taking up classes and hobbies that allow us to express our creativity, put down our phones and have some me-time, is growing.
From alternative art courses to bakery classes, it’s cool to be creative. So Airbnb’s collaboration with the Heritage Crafts Association couldn’t have come at a better time.
According to research by the Heritage Crafts Association 37% of traditional crafts are in danger of dying out completely. They have announced that currently a whopping 17 crafts, including clog making, paper marbling and piano making, are on the list as ‘critically endangered,’ with a further 45 more swinging in the balance to join them.
After so successfully launching the Experiences facet to their platform, Airbnb has jumped to lend a helping hand, hosting classes in these unique crafts on their site so that users have the opportunity to try them out, and bring them back to life.
