Create as who you are.
Why Creative Makes?
Create as who you are. Boldly. Bravely. Freely. Fully. Unapologetically.
We give space to explore, play, and experiment. There are no wrong answers, only opportunities to take creative risks, express yourself, and grow. We celebrate individuality, honour the whole person, and support everyone to be seen, heard, and valued. From first-time makers to experienced artists, Creative Makes is a place to create, belong, and thrive.

Little Explorers

all about discovering, playing, and creating together. With parents by their side, children experiment with new tools, dive into sensory art experiences, and use their imaginations to bring big ideas to life—all while earning fun creative badges along the way.
Creative Explorers
For Children 5 - 16 Years
Explore, experiment, and gain confidence with a wide range of materials. Combine techniques to tell stories, plan multi-session projects, and develop your own creative style. Express your ideas, lead and inspire others, and build a personal portfolio.
Studio Explorers
For Adults
Discover new materials, experiment freely, and develop your creative voice. Explore techniques at your own pace, express your ideas, and create projects that reflect your personal style. Connect with a supportive community and make art that’s truly yours.
What Parents Say
“Creative Makes is truly a special place. I’ve been attending the adult Art Club and it has become a safe, welcoming space where I can be completely myself—no judgement, just encouragement and creativity. It’s been such a joy to explore different art styles and techniques in such a supportive environment. Mel is a wonderful facilitator—genuine, thoughtful, and always inspiring.
My daughter has been part of Creative Makes since she was 4 (she’s now 10), and it’s been such a big part of her growing up. She absolutely loves attending Creative Explorers and still gets excited every week. She always tells me how much she loves the teachers, especially how funny and enthusiastic they are. She says it’s the best place ever! The creativity, the joy, and the care that go into every class really shine through.
Thank you, Mel and the Creative Makes team, for creating such a magical and nurturing space for artists of all ages.”

“I had been looking forward to going to sensory art classes with my 5 year old son for a long time and when we finally went it did not disappoint! Annie is so lovely and the activities she sets up for the kids are awesome! Open-ended enough to have my son (and the other children of various ages there) happily exploring and playing in each area for ages - in-fact my son would probably be happy to stay in one area for the entire session if it weren't for me being overly eager to explore it all!”
