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. As well as subsidised courses they also offer bursaries to make craft accessible to all.
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.
