Making Together

Craftspace believes that the exploration of materials through making is a transformative and positive process that develops social, cognitive and communication skills, and encourages a lifelong connection to creativity and making that supports mental health and wellbeing.  From the very earliest age children connect to and communicate through their engagement with materials.  They are inquisitive, intuitive and experimental.  By working within family groups we create social spaces where family members learn from and through each other.

Making Together is a programme of intergenerational making based activity initiated by Craftspace in partnership with organisations around Birmingham. The project provides an opportunity for children, parents, carers and grandparents to engage and connect through materials and making, using a wide range of accessible approaches and processes.
