Why creative making can feel hard at home
The challenge for parents
You want your child to enjoy making freely, explore ideas, and feel proud of their work.
But it’s hard to provide the right materials, manage the process, and resist stepping in — especially when time and energy are limited.
How the Makery helps
That’s where the Makery comes in.
We design the space, provide the materials, and set up open-ended making opportunities — so children can explore creatively and adults don’t have to manage the process.
We remove the pressure, without removing the challenge.
What is the Makery?
The Makery is an indoor making space where children and adults create using real materials, real tools, and their own ideas.
It’s made up of three creative zones:
• The Craft Bar — choose a base and add materials in your own way
• The Tool Shed — build and construct using real tools
• The Splatter Room — explore paint, movement, and mess freely
There are no instructions to follow and no expected outcome. Making happens at your own pace, in your own way.
Who the Makery is for
The Makery is well suited to:
​
• Children who feel restricted by step-by-step crafts
• Children who enjoy designing, building, and experimenting
• Adults who want to make alongside their child — or independently
• Anyone who values creativity without rules or pressure
Simple for adults. Powerful for children
No templates. No pressure. Just space to make.
We take care of the setup and materials — the maker decides how they want to create.

What to expect
Choice led making

Real materials
We use quality tools and materials, introduced thoughtfully and safely.
Support with control
Facilitators are there to help with materials and safety — not direct outcomes.
