Why do we need Making Matters?

Making as a process or series of processes is often undervalued. And yet making develops a wide range of skills, feeds creative thought and action, results in our being productive in the best possible sense, and is vital to the economic and cultural development of our society.

In 1999 Paula Briggs and Sheila Ceccarelli established AccessArt as a direct result of their experience as artist/educators. Paula and Sheila had recently graduated from the Royal College of Art Sculpture School and were keen to follow their instincts to create an arena for the exchange of information and practice relating to all types of making and across all ages and abilities.

Making Matters defines and builds upon this key AccessArt core value: That making as an activity, a learning style, or a means of self-expression, should be enabled and appreciated.

Making Matters aims to promote, encourage and enable making through highlighting, and creating,excellence in practice, and offering advocacy, support and resources.
