Making Things Art Club

A space for curious hands and creative minds ~ the Making Things Art Club invites children aged 8 to 12 into a week of hands on exploration, from weaving and macramé to fibre craft, paper craft and printmaking. Rooted in heritage craft and everyday materials, sessions run daily for 1 week each summer in the ASTRL Fibres studio. Group sizes are small so every maker gets the time, space and individual attention to truly flourish. Summer 2026 is already taking shape, get in touch to find out more. I'm also considering future sessions for young people aged 13 to 15, if your young person is interested, I'd love to hear from you.
