Making Space is a unique organisation, that raises the profile of craft in all its forms. Working collaboratively, supporting makers and providing opportunities for everyone.

From first-time experiences through our inclusive outreach work and exciting community projects, to working with young people who have creative ambitions, providing inspiring high-quality craft workshops in house to the general public and supporting makers through every stage of their career, Making Space really is at the heart of craft in Hampshire.

Making Space are thrilled to be a part of POSE 2024, working together with some of our talented associate & resident makers. You can find us at Casemates Studio where we will be hosting an inspiring Pop-Up shop across 3 studios featuring work from jeweller Sharon Justice, ceramicist Peter Levy, creative duo Wood & Daughters and many more still TBC .

You can also join us and get creative yourself as over the weekend we will be running four fun creative workshops:

Sat 26 Oct | 11am-12noon – Turn your doodles into something noteworthy. Come and enjoy mark making in response to the sound and feeling of music. Artist Tanya Wood will help and guide you in the use of paper, pen and ink to express yourself and create a symphony of marks in the form of a doodlet (Tanya’s name for a piece of doodle design)

Sat 26 Oct | 2pm-3pm – Join maker and designer Bethany Wood as she guides you through how to create a lyric or song title poster with collage. Come prepared with your favourite short lyrics or song title and learn how to use type creatively. Leave with your own design that immortalises your favourite lyrics.

Sun 27 Oct | 11am-12noon – Join jeweller Sharon Justice for an innovative and fun workshop transforming old broken Cymbals into unique pieces of Jewellery. The remarkable material will retain qualities from its life as an instrument, but be reinvented into some fun and useable!

Sun 27 Oct | 2pm-3pm – A fun exploratory workshop with ceramicist Kelly Ottesen. Use your imagination and creativity to design and make a series of unique percussion instruments from clay! Items will be fired after the workshop and can be collected from Making Space.
