When undertaken on a part-time basis, crafts such as knitting and crochet may be done in almost any location in the house, but other crafts such as pottery, leatherworking, woodworking, and stained-glass require a separate room, garage, or workshop. These crafts often involve a large number of tools, and require more space and special ventilation. A separate room in the house can also be advisable when crafting is done on a regular basis and unfinished projects must be left out between work sessions. Many schools and community colleges offer a variety of crafting classes, providing the student ample opportunity to try out various types of arts and crafts firsthand and decide which they would like to become more deeply involved in. Crafts allow the creator to interactively engage with the materials and can provide a relaxing outlet from the stresses of our modern technology-centered age.
