making space
Hampshire
We are a craft organisation and registered charity based in Leigh Park,
Hampshire, with impact across the UK. We literally make space for people and
organisations involved in craft, through a programme of workshops and
experiences that are co-created with community partners and through consultation
with local people. Our specially tailored projects inspire, challenge, skill-up,
engage and build new audiences for the sector. They have lasting local impact,
and are often transformational for participants. Working in collaboration with
local charities, essential need services and community groups we are inclusive
to all, making space for a thriving, creative community. We offer both
first-time experiences of craft and work with those who want to take their
skills to the next level. We enable people to develop new ways of thinking about
craft and experience first-hand the important presence of craft in everyday
life. Raising the profile of craft in all its forms, we work with local and
national arts organisations, contributing to debate, supporting makers and
providing opportunities. Through our outreach projects, we work with partners
including schools, children’s centres, family learning environments and
retirement homes.
