Welcome to The Making - the award-winning arts charity that promotes high quality contemporary craft and design and inspires new audiences to engage with the art of making.

From Public Art and our flagship Theatre of Making programme to our latest Arts Council funded Festival Makers project, we bring the experience of "hands on" making to all sectors of the community and, especially, to young people and families.

Skills in the Making, funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, is our programme for trainee and established teachers. We also support artists by providing them with employment, promotion and training opportunities.

Learn more about contemporary craft with our Maker of the Month.
