About Us | The Making Place

Hi, I'm Claire.

I'm an artist, a mum, and the person behind The Making Place.

As a practicing artist, I know how rewarding the creative process can be.

My own work is inspired by all forms of artistic expression, from visual art to music and dance. I love experimenting with different materials and techniques, and seeing where an idea might take me.

My background spans both business and the arts, and my vision for The Making Place is to create a welcoming, encouraging space where children feel free to explore their creativity, experiment with new ideas, learn new skills, and grow in confidence.

I believe the art of making is a wonderful way to express ourselves, explore our ideas, and discover things about ourselves along the way.

My hope is that children will want to return term after term, growing not just as young artists, but as curious, confident thinkers who aren't afraid to try something new. And I can't think of anything more rewarding than being part of that journey!
