The Make & Do Den is a welcoming creative studio in Northwich where imagination, confidence and creativity are nurtured through inspiring, hands-on art experiences for all ages.
Founded by myself, Anna, a qualified primary school teacher, mum and artist, The Make & Do Den offers creative opportunities for children, teenagers and adults. From the purpose-built home studio, we provide small after-school groups, one-to-one tuition, private sessions, holiday clubs for children aged 5 to 12, and private group workshops. We also bring creativity into the wider community through local events, crafting experiences and nationally by curriculum provision for the NHS.
Alongside studio sessions, I work with primary schools as an artist-in-residence, delivering bespoke workshops and providing curriculum consultation for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. With a BA (Hons) in Fine Art, a PGCE in Primary Education, classroom based teaching experience and a background in SEND education, I combine my artistic knowledge with a deep understanding of how people learn, grow and express themselves.
At the heart of The Make & Do Den is a belief that creativity is essential for wellbeing and development. Art helps children build confidence, problem-solving skills and independence, while giving teenagers and adults a valuable opportunity for self-expression, relaxation and supporting positive mental wellbeing.
Whether you are looking for a creative class, a unique workshop, a school project or a memorable making experience, The Make & Do Den is a place where everyone is encouraged to explore, create and discover their own creativity.
