I’m Kate, an award-winning crochet designer and author of Crochet at Work and the person behind Make Me Roar. You might’ve even seen me win Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas on Channel 4 with my hand-stitched reindeer, Ruben. At Maker Studio, you’ll find a curated mix of modern craft supplies, tools and kits, from yarn by Rico and Stylecraft to gorgeous embroidery threads and kits from brilliant UK makers like Cotton Twist, The Left Hookery, and more. My own crochet kits are all designed here in Eastbourne and are on the shelves too. We don’t just sell supplies we host weekly workshops in everything from beginner crochet and lino printing to creative writing and still life drawing. There are evening and weekend sessions, as well as family-friendly activities and holiday clubs for kids.
