Hi, I'm Lucy, the founder of The Makery Nook.

I've always loved arts and crafts. I completed an art degree and over the years, have became a serial art/craft course-taker. My cupboards are crammed with paints, craft kits, swathes of fabric, and countless bits and pieces that might just come in handy one day.

My aim isn't to teach traditional art classes or tell children or adults what to make. Instead I want to give people young and old a relaxed, inspiring space to explore their creativity. There's no pressure to produce a perfect masterpiece, just the freedom to make, create and have fun.

PS: These summer workshops are my first; and I’m really looking forward to welcoming everyone and sharing their feedback. In the meantime, I've been planning them with help from my toughest critic - my teenage daughter and I’m keen to get the all-important teenage seal of approval!
