Magpie Makes At Magpie Makes we make creative learning fun for kids. Our projects help them shine brighter. We specialise in art, craft and sewing for children age 5 and up.

We run children's creative parties, local after-school art & sewing clubs, and some fab holiday workshops to get the kids creating in the school holidays.

Many of you will have children who come to our clubs, parties or holiday camps or see our work here on our grid. If you’ve ever wondered how it all comes together well here’s a little insight - even though our artists are under 12 we still make sure that they have access to real artists materials. We hope we can show them the joy of using quality supplies and the difference it makes. If you got a lava lamp home last week we hope you loved it 🥰

The sewing machines are going to be whirring this summer - just as they should be.
There’s two more sessions added in for anyone who has missed out on our other ones. I’ll put the link in stories

We’ve always believed that creativity isn’t a nice to have - it’s essential. We think you’ll agree. When children make things, something magical happens. Confidence grows and their imaginations have a workout! If we’ve done our job well, they’ll come home and continue drawing and making for the rest of the day.
This year we’ve put on more camps than ever. We’re going to embrace the messy studio and help fill our little corner of the world with more colour. We’d love you to join us

Someone once told us that in business it’s always good to try new ideas, so we are always throwing around new projects - some stick, some don’t. But fashion design is something we have had on the studio desk for a while… and then we met Tamara and we just had to work out a way to get the idea out of the laptop and bring it to life!
You might recognize her from series 2 of The Sewing Bee? She was a finalist and knows a thing or two about sewing, garment construction, up cycling and fashion. She’s also warm and fun so a great fit for the Magpie team 😊
Sooooo, as we’re in the early stages let us know if you have any ideas for us. If you think your school might like this club let us know which school you’re in. And of course we’ll keep you posted on progress!

It seems like a really good memory, the day we dreamed of opening some creative clubs for kids. The excitement was real, could we really do it?!
Well we did and we’re so proud of what has grown from those early days. The clubs became more than just after school, we stretched into holiday camps and the joy of birthday party celebrations. Sometimes it’s a bumpy ride running your own business but it’s never boring.
Thank you for following along and sharing your children with us, we never take that responsibility lightly we really do put them at the centre of everything.
Happy 12th Birthday to Magpie Makes! 🎉🥳

We’ve been running our creative holiday camp sessions since lockdown ended so that’s since summer 2021 and in those 5 years we’ve learned so much about how to structure the sessions.
We are proud to have excellent ratios, an experienced team and a range of projects utilizing different materials and techniques…we like to think they are a lovely way to spend the day for kids who enjoy making things 💛
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us

We have been asked by lots of our families to extend our camp days and it’s a tricky one. We have a great awareness that focusing on our art projects until 2pm for many children is enough, they’re ready to scoot off home by that time. But we also understand the very real juggle that the summer holidays bring and we want to be able to help.
So if it’s useful and/or you have a super keen artist who can create all day then we have an optional extra 1.5hours you can add to your booking. It’s called ‘the extra flourish’ - it might be collaborative drawing, diving deeper into techniques and materials, perhaps creating a little gallery of everyone’s artwork - we’ll use this summer to guide us and see what suits the children best.
We hope it’s helpful- booking is live on the website now.

A full party project is underway at Magpie Makes HQ. We’ve been drilling down the nitty gritty of what our party team think are our strengths and what we can improve.
We’ve got 3 or 4 new parties on the planning table and we’re going to offer parties in your home (this is something we get asked about often)
We think you’re going to love it! 🥳
