Make it weird,

make it yours,

make it together

Home studio in Sale, Greater Manchester

Short walk from Brooklands Metrolink

Restorative sessions in small groups

For when life feels a bit much

Make & Mind brings mindful art and craft workshops to the people of Trafford.

Because sometimes the best thing for an overloaded brain is giving your hands something gentle to do.

In a cosy studio just minutes from Walkden Gardens, you’ll learn what many others already have: how calming and joyful creating side by side can be.

What people say

“I learnt a lot about the technique and was able to practice before working on the final product. People went at different paces but Vicky was a great tutor and didn’t mind repeating instructions.”

Helen

Workshop participant

“I came out of rehab and wasn't well enough to work but wanted to do something to aid my recovery. I had a series of workshops with Vicky and they were amazing. She taught me loads."

Never been to Sale?

Sale might just be the ideal commuter town. Perfectly positioned between Altrincham and Stretford, we’re close to Manchester city centre but far enough from the noise and commotion.

The town is surrounded by the kind of natural beauty that immediately helps you breathe: from peaceful walks through Walkden Gardens, Bridgewater Canal, or meadows of the Water Park. Sale quietly makes the case for embracing a calmer, more creative life.

Meet Vicky, your host

Who you'll be guided by

Hi! It's Vicky. I'm a schoolteacher, mum, and workshop facilitator. Unless I'm teaching and watching kids get excited about learning new things, you can find me on long walks or turning memories into objects to hold and treasure.

I also run a perinatal mental health support group. After years of seeing how much better people feel when they're making stuff together and talking to each other, I figured why not do more of that? That's why Make & Mind exists.

"Many painters are afraid of the black canvas, but the blank canvas IS AFRAID of the truly passionate painter" said one famous Vincent.
