We have uploaded all our handmade items to our new shop page - take a look!

Welcome to The Making Place!

The Making Place was opened in 2019 to provide people in Bishop's Stortford and surrounding areas with somewhere to craft.

 

Now, following the Covid outbreak, we are based in Ugley Green, organising workshops so that everyone can come and craft. We have lots of equipment and materials for crafters to use, included in the session or workshop price, and we are an open space for people to work on their own projects. Our Wednesday evening Knitternatter (not just knitting!) sessions are very popular, with our yarn expert Olivia Lynes to help those needing help and advice.

​

We are available to run parties Take a look at our shop for handmade gifts and craft kits.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Thank you for our beautiful face masks. They have openings for filters, are great quality and feature fun colours and patterns. All family members are pleased. Highly recommended!

We had the soap making kit over half term and had lots of fun making it! Great idea to create home made Christmas gifts.

I bought some Christmas bags and I'm so impressed! They are absolutely lovely, really well made and reasonably priced  ♥

"I'M SO BAD AT CRAFTING!"

I have heard that a few times since we opened in October.

 

But, how can you be bad at something in which you have no competition? How can something you have designed, taken time over and lovingly created be bad? Imperfections make handmade items all the more lovely. If we wanted something perfect, something with very little heart and soul in it, then we would buy (for plenty £££!) from the high street.

​

So, get on with it. If it doesn't look how you expected, you can ditch it, fix it or love it the way it is!
