Who will be teaching the classes?

Hannah Walker has been an artist for as long as she could hold a pencil. It's her hope to share this calming, creative, journey with others. 

Over the years, she noticed that one of the biggest barriers to creativity is the disappointment we feel when something doesn’t turn out how we’d hoped.

That’s why Feel Good Make began... becoming a place where you can leave your worries behind. The focus for all the projects on offer is that they’re easy to do and, most importantly, they allow you to feel good about what you’ve made.

You will be supported throughout the process.

These sessions are around Hannah's kitchen table at home in Hartford, Cheshire. They’re small and friendly, with a maximum of four people per class; so everyone has space to be creative freely, but with encouragement nearby.

The introductory sessions are around three hours long. If you enjoy yourself (and we hope you do!) and would like to return for a full-day session (six hours), that would be lovely.

What would you like to know about Hannah?

After six years training in jewellery at Edinburgh College of Art and the Royal College of Art, Hannah has worked in the jewellery business for nearly 30 years; designing, making and selling. It’s something she still loves, but over time, she found herself wanting to share more of the quiet, gentle joy that making can bring.

Home life is full of creativity too. With her husband and two growing girls being a daily inspiration & support.

Hannah loves to make just about anything; clothes, food, jewellery, gardens, websites, embroidery, printmaking; and   

Feel Good Make evolved as a result of Hannah discovering that sharing the skills she has learnt, over a lifetime of making, is really very special.

"One of the biggest challenges a maker faces is how to juggle earning a living and nurturing their creative spirit.

When the responsibilities of work & family grow, lack of space can be a common challenge, which is why the kitchen table is such a winner. 

Let’s do this together ... feel good, make."
