Crafting positive outcomes for all
At Making Space, we change lives through craft. From our purpose-built studios in Leigh Park, Hampshire, we literally make space for people and organisations involved in craft. Our charitable aims are to make positive differences, in small ways and large, to people from all walks of life, through creativity.
