Crafting and colour is Debbie's therapy and has helped her tremendously over the years with poor mental and at times physical health (she has MS) It’s also her way of keeping her brain active and agile. When crafting you use problem solving and special awareness. Cognitive skills that commonly people expect can only be keep limber with crossword puzzles and sudoku. You'll age well knowing that there is another way to keep the mind ticking over nicely!Debbie loves to craft socially as she finds it's the perfect catalyst for conversation which as a self confessed introvert, she finds very helpful. It’s one of the reasons she started Make Space. To find her tribe and to help others find theirs. Make Space has given Debbie so much, financial freedom, purpose and escapism. She finds it a joy to share this with others and hopes to continue sharing her work and seeing where it takes her. Debbie founded Make Space in Chelmsford in 2022 having previously worked in the fashion industry in London. Make Space is a beautiful mindful curation of craft parties, workshops, craft kits and commissioned pieces based around Debbie’s joy for colour and design. You’ll find Debbie in her happy place surrounded by semi precious beads, hand dyed yarns and neon paints creating the most beautiful bespoke creations from beaded bracelets to woven wall hangings. Crafting is for everyone, we all stand to benefit from it so Debbie chooses simple accessible techniques for all to try. Debbie’s ‘Bead Bar’ is perhaps her most coverted of classes as it features a truly inspiring assortment of colourful beads collected over the past 20 years from far flung corners of the globe on Debbie’s previous travels. Creating affirmation bracelets using beads from the ‘Bead Bar’ is a beautiful mindful act of self care and has seen dozens of local crafters have a go at making bespoke jewellery with Make Space.
