Applications are now open for MAKE Southwest’s Saturday Club 2023/24. We are eager to hear from motivated and passionate young people aged 13 - 16 years old who have an interest in making and would benefit from our support.  

Our Saturday Club is a free programme of workshops for young people. We are looking to support the next generation of crafts people and our club provides a small and friendly environment for young makers to explore their creativity through a range of craft disciplines.   

Our Saturday Club will run for 20 weeks, starting on Saturday 12 October 2024.  

The programme will take place on a Saturday morning between 10am – 1pm at MAKE Southwest in Bovey Tracey and will be delivered tutors taken from our growing membership of professional makers.  

We also organise visits to local craft businesses and organisations as a way of giving our Club members an insight into employment within the craft industries.  

At the end of the programme, Club members are given the opportunity to showcase their craft works at the local Craft Festival in Bovey Tracey. All participants are encouraged to take part in the Bronze Arts Award and support is given throughout the Club to complete this qualification. 

To make an application to our 2024/25 Craft & Making Saturday Club please visit The National Saturday Club website.
