A brand new live online creative event where we all make the same thing, at the same time, using materials we already have at home.
Here's what happens.
We believe that creativity loves company. But because it’s not always possible to get together in person, ONE BIG MAKE is there to bring us together online. A virtual room full of lovely people making the same thing, together, online. There’s no stuff to buy, as we’ll use what we already have at home.
We do our welcome intros, I do a short demo, and then we'll all get making. There’s chatting, laughing, occasionally making a slight ‘oops’ along the way, and feeling completely fine about it.
If the chat gets busy, there are breakout rooms if you want smaller conversation. And there's a quiet space if you'd rather just make in peaceful company. Everyone is completely welcome.
What you need to bring:
Nothing you don't already own.
Before the event you'll receive your Treasure List of things to gather from around the house. It might be a piece of paper you don't mind using. Something to make marks with. A bit of tape. String. Scissors. Whatever's in the drawer.
Not a shopping list. A finding list.
Plus you’ll need an internet connection and a phone, tablet, laptop or computer to join the Zoom call.
Why £5?
Because creativity shouldn't cost the earth - financially or environmentally. And because we genuinely believe you already have everything you need.
is for everyone.
One creative moment.
Lots of people, making together.

No expensive kit to buy.
Just you, and what you already have at home.

One Big Make is a live online creative event hosted by Lucy Kirkman of The Createhood via Zoom, where a virtual room full of people all make the same thing at the same time. It's not a class and it's not about being good at crafting — it's a shared creative moment that's warm, funny and surprisingly connecting. Tickets are just £5.

Nothing you don't already own. A few days before the event, you'll receive a Treasure List — a short prompt to gather a few everyday things from home: a piece of paper, something to make marks with, scissors, string, tape. Whatever's already in the drawer. Not a shopping list, it’s a finding list. You'll also need a phone, tablet or computer to join the Zoom call.

Especially yes. One Big Make is specifically designed for people who love the idea of making things but never quite get round to it. The benefits of crafting are important for everyone – creativity is good for our mental, emotional and physical health. Beginners are especially welcome, plus there’s no pressure to be good because nobody will see what you’ve made, unless you choose to share it. We believe the doing is more important than the outcome.

Our first ever One Big Make was such fun that we’re making it a regular event in our craft calendar! Each event features a different make, so no two are the same. Please join the waiting list (no commitment) to be the first to know when the next ONE BIG MAKE is happening.
