Our Community Projects
At Make Mee Studio CIC we want the skills we share to be as accessible to as many people as possible. That is why we usually have at least 1 free activity or creative community project happening. We know the power creativity and making can have on social cohesion as well as mental health and wellbeing. These are some of the project we have going on at the moment and some exciting things we’ve worked on in the past.
