Creative Short Courses to do in London

Years ago, I did a short course to learn Corsetry at the London College of Fashion.  I thoroughly loved the experience and still think about it now.  Ever since then, I have always had my eye out for interesting courses to take on my travels. Some of the other courses I have taken are Cooking with Coconuts (Fiji), Thai Cooking (Bangkok), Cajun Cooking (New Orleans), dance courses in the U.S. and a photography course at Lord of the Rings locations in New Zealand. If you love creative pursuits, learning and travel, why not combine all three to make your trip a special experience.
