Meet our Magnificent Makers

I am an electronics engineer, this is my speciality but I enjoy experimenting with all kinds of making including 3D printing. I am an active member at Teesside Hackspace, a community run workshop where we make all kinds of weird and wonderful inventions. My involvement with little makers has been a collaboration with fellow Teesside Hackspace member Chris Corbett.

I am a Junior at College for Creative Studies who enjoys crafting imaginative, playful, and engaging solutions that resonate with audiences of all ages.

Hi! I am a visual artist and animator based in Toronto, Canada. However, I am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. When I'm not drawing, you'll find me walking around museums, exploring national parks or spending time with my family. My main work focuses on visual narratives through character design, portraits, caricatures or abstract images. Always experimenting with new techniques. I am equally comfortable with analog and digital technologies, and I use both according to the needs of the project.

I am an Artist and graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2004. Since 2004 I have worked in the world of theatre, not only practicing as a highly skilled prop maker for London's leading West End musicals, but also designing and building awe inspiring sets and installations. In 2012 I set up my own company called A Line Art. We specialise in interactive art events and theatre for children and their families. We tour our work to weird and wonderful places all over the UK and internationally. My main aim is to inspire and encourage creative play within families.

Claire spends lots of time making art with children in schools and families in public spaces through her organisation Art Hoppers. Art Hoppers takes children’s art off the notice board and places it in the gallery showcasing children as the celebrated artists! Claire is super passionate about the power of art and creativity in bringing communities together, making people feel happier and giving each of us an exciting outlet for our individual experiences. Claire believes that by expressing ourselves creatively and learning the problem solving skills that go with making, we gain invaluable skills which open a world of opportunity!

Hello, my name is Ella and I’m a designer. I work with materials to create objects and textiles for you and your home. I have always been fascinated by the process of making things, and I absolutely love being in workshops and factories where I can see the magic of making in action. I’ve made prints and patterns for lots of different products and companies from museums to hospitals and big department stores. I hate waste, so I love to give old furniture a new life, by using my textile designs working in collaboration with expert upholsterers.

I make things, or think about making things all the time. I have always been like this so I went to art college. I trained to be a graphic designer. Since then I have designed all sorts of things, patterns for children's clothes, hats, logos and children's wallpaper. I enjoy having a job that is doing what I like. In my free time I make all sorts of things and if I'm bored I do some origami.

I teach and tutor kids from elementary to high school who, for whatever reason, can't reach their full potential in a typical learning environment! In university I studied biosystems engineering with a specialism in environmental engineering.
