Creativity brings people together

ABOUT MAKE SPACE

decorative image

I’ve always loved making things, and after years working in the fashion industry, I still bring that designer’s eye to everything I do at Make Space, from the colours and materials I choose to the things we make.

But for me, it’s just as much about what happens while you’re making. You slow down, have a chat, laugh, switch off from everything else for a while and hopefully leave feeling a little lighter.

You don’t need to be creative or know what you’re doing. I’ll bring everything you need, show you what to do and give you plenty of beautiful materials to make it your own.

Just come along, have a go and make some time for you.

Debbie xx

Creative Parties for kids, teens and grown-ups

Looking for something a little different? Make Space parties are colourful, creative and completely taken care of. I bring all the prep and a brilliant selection of quality materials, so everyone can get straight into making and you don't have to worry about the mess afterwards.

Choose the party that fits your people.

C. Golding

"Debbie ran a brilliant craft party for my daughter’s 8th birthday. The girls loved choosing their beads and charms to make bracelets, and then making a filled wooden letter with sequins, buttons, washi tape, gems, shells etc. Debbie really inspired them with her instructions and ideas. Highly recommended."

"Just did the spring wreath making class this morning with my mum as an early mother's day gift, and we both had a fab time, and came away with beautiful wreaths. It was lovely relaxed atmosphere, Debbie provided beautiful flowers, great instruction and ideas. Thanks Debbie we will definitely be back to do something more with you another time."
