Making Space is Havant’s very own community craft charity, based in their purpose-built premises in Leigh Park.
As well as running regular classes in a variety of craft forms, Making Space has a busy outreach programme, providing subsidised activities in the community, and is home to a number of professional makers who have their own studios on site.
If you haven’t heard of us until now, we’re delighted that ‘Your Postcode’ is giving us a little space each issue to tell you all about what has been happening, and what is coming up, in our thriving craft centre.
Losing a Landscape – an exhibition by Frankie Knight - Development of the Havant Thicket Reservoir as been a hot topic for local residents, and local artist Frankie Knight has responded to the project through a series of photographs and audio recordings captured in the affected area. This work will be exhibited at Making Space as the exhibition Losing A Landscape, from May 12th – 14th. Alongside the work, Frankie will be running a free workshop on cyanotype photography – a sustainable development process giving very striking results, and a launch event on the Friday evening. All parts of this exhibition are free to attend, but places on the workshop need to be booked in advance, at our website.
