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. Making Space aim to make crafting available to everyone.
Here’s what is coming up at Making Space.
New Term of Craft Courses
January marks the return of our popular craft courses — a wonderful way to start the new year by learning something new. We offer classes in ceramics, silver clay and jewellery, providing a fantastic opportunity to develop new skills, meet great people, and enjoy the satisfaction of making.
All courses are led by expert tutors in our studios in Leigh Park. You’ll be guided step-by-step through the tips and techniques needed to master each craft. Courses run in 5-week blocks for £160, or you can book a full 10-week course for just £260.
Monthly Masterclasses
Our monthly Masterclasses will return in 2026, featuring an exciting range of new disciplines. These sessions take a deeper dive into specific craft forms, led by experienced tutors who have honed their skills over many years. Some of the techniques on offer include gilding, fused glass, textiles, watercolour painting, printmaking and much more.
Masterclasses take place once a month at weekends, last three hours, and cost £48.
