The Craft&Making Saturday Club at MAKE Southwest is a free programme of workshops for young people who have a passion for making. We are looking to support the next generation of crafts people and our Club provides a small and friendly environment for young makers aged 13 – 16 years old to explore their creativity.

Workshops are run by professional tutors taken from our growing membership of makers. We also organise visits to local craft businesses and organisations as a way of giving our Club members an insight into employment within the craft industries. At the end of the programme,  Club members are given opportunity to showcase their craft works at the local Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey. All participants are encouraged to take part in the Bronze Arts Award and support is given throughout the Club programme to complete this qualification.

Club members will also take part in free national events including the Summer Show, where Saturday Clubs nationwide exhibit their work in a public exhibition, and Masterclasses with leading industry professionals.
