At The Makers’ House, we believe creativity thrives when we work together. We are proud to support our local creative businesses and hobbies and as The Makers’ grows, so does our circle of talented tutors and inspiring spaces. Here, you’ll find details of classes and workshops hosted at other local venues—led by tutors we know, trust, and wholeheartedly recommend.

We’re proud to partner with a carefully chosen group of local creatives who share our values of inclusivity, warmth, and hands-on learning. These sessions offer even more opportunities to explore, make, and connect—just a little further afield

Crafted Colours, Porchester

Meet Caroline, a local stained glass artist and tutor. Hooked by a taster session on a holiday to Cornwall in 2020, Caroline quickly became obsessed with stained glass as a hobby and began gifting pieces to friends and family. Encouraged by positive feedback (and a very supportive husband), she then started selling at local fayres and markets to further support her growing hobby and it has since taken on a life of its own!

Caroline now runs workshops and taster sessions from her home Studio in Portchester, Hampshire, and having see her teach at The Makers’ we have no hesitiation in sharing details of her classes with you here.

Whether you are simply interested in seeing how the process works, looking at trying your hand at something new or just want to meet up with friends over something other than drinks or food, there have an option for you… to find out more or to book with Caroline, please head to www.craftedcolours.co.uk
