Instructor Tanja Bayer

Meet your instructor

Welcome to The Happy Craft Movement. My name is Tanja. I’m a passionate crafter full of ideas and always busy making something new. Whether it’s crocheting adorable amigurumi, sewing unusual bags and other creations, weaving intricate macramé, painting vibrant scenes, creating papercraft decorations or making beautiful wreaths, I believe there’s magic in the act of making and I love sharing that magic with others.

I host workshops and 'paint along' parties. Here, we laugh, we create, and for a little while, we forget the worries of the world. Because crafting isn’t just about what you make; it’s also about the joy, the community and the connection when we come together.

The Happy Craft Movement is more than a name—it’s a belief. A belief that when we create with our hands and open our hearts, we make the world a little brighter, one happy craft at a time. Are you ready to make something beautiful? Let’s create it together.

  • "I recently took a painting course with Tanja as the instructor and this course emulated the iconic Bob Ross style, and it was an absolute delight! Tanja’s calm and encouraging demeanour made the entire experience incredibly enjoyable. Just like Bob Ross, the course emphasized the joy of painting and the beauty of happy little accidents. It was a step-by-step journey through creating a beautiful landscape, with plenty of room for personal creativity. The techniques were easy to follow, and I felt a sense of accomplishment with each step in the process. This course truly captured the essence of Bob Ross's philosophy, making it perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists looking to relax and have fun with their art. Highly recommended!"
