MAKE Room

How can we reconnect with Nature?

What is MAKE Room?

MAKE Room is our roaming art programme, exploring local sustainable materials and practices, and offering a place for thinking about how we can all connect with Nature.

Drop in to reimagine your relationship with the natural landscape through walks, talks, and workshops – whether you’re passionate about the environment, or want to connect with it more.

Led by Glassball Studio and shaped by the local community in each place, MAKE Room asks: How can Nature reinvent us?
