crafting respite - PHASE 1 |
Crafting Respite was a creative programme of activity specifically for those that have caring responsibilities (looking after a child, parent or significant other etc) funded by The Portsdown Art Society. Making Space hosted 6 creative sessions covering a range of activity including: collage, embroidery, print, ceramics, textiles and jewellery. We established a group of 10 participants aged 16+ who joined for the entirety of the programme. The project took place from May - July 2025.
