We are a community-based craft organisation which supports makers, creating opportunities for people to develop design and making skills. We believe it increases people’s wellbeing by being involved in high-quality craft. Making Space is all about excellence in contemporary craft, design and the visual arts.
‘For the artisan, craft is an end in itself. For you, the artist, craft is the vehicle for expressing your vision. Craft is the visible edge of art’
David Bayles
We all have our own contradictions, hidden weaknesses and hidden strengths: none of us is what we may seem to other people – scratch beneath the veneer and you will find a different perspective, a different person.
