Making Space is Havant’s very own community craft charity, based in their purpose-built premises in the heart of 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 in its 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 Postcode Publications 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.
Let's Create Leigh Park
We are delighted to have been awarded money from The Arts Council to fund a project titled Let's Create Leigh Park.
