What's your story?
I’m Brooke, I am from Aotearoa, New Zealand, and I am sofa king excited that you are here!
I just love making shit with my hands. They have been keeping me outta trouble since way back.
Quick run down:
Born in NZ oldest of 7 kids, broken home of borderline poverty, failed school, studied fashion, fell in love, teenage mum, got married, birthed Edith, stay at home mum, constantly making, life changing destructive Earthquake, broken city, moved to the other side of the world, became permanent residents of the UK, failed business, cried alot and then set up Make Town, Covid hit and now we are stuck here.
Better make it work huh?
Teach me everything!
We can teach you anything, and if we can’t we will find someone that can.
With extensive training and experience in fashion, fabric, fibre, garment construction and techniques you will learn the tricks of the trade while developing your own personal style in glorious colourful comfort.
There has never been a better time to strip back your life and start making shit with your hands! Today is the day dude x
Learn to make and create your own wardrobe in a sustainable, fitting, ethical, colourful and interesting way.
Actions speak louder than words – what have you got to loose?
Practical shit too
Learning to sew, knit or weave is just the first step. We demand more!
Focussed on the whole bigger picture from cotton production, to sustainable fashion to ethical production to laundering and caring, mending and waste.
If that tickles your fancy get here already!
You belong with us x
Everyone is welcome!
From semi pro’s to ultimate newbies, colorful chameleons to basic beiges, women and men and everyone inbetween and further beyond.
You will not find a more welcoming bunch of people to learn alongside!
If you run events or workshops and want to use our space – get in touch! We love a collab and we love you too x
We have had some awesome events! Supper clubs, and fashion pop ups, guest teachers and we did that whole scrub hub thing during Covid too.
We have all the mod cons, know how and flexibility to make this easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Covid news - Listen up
UPDATE MARCH 22 –
What a shit show! I can’t speak for anyone else, there are obviously too many opinions on Covid that I can’t keep you all happy, so my house my rules. Soz x
Please read through our Covid Guidelines before you book as all bookings are final.
I am doing my best with limited resources and conflicting rules coming in from every direction.
Thank you guys for understanding and your patience.
Peace Out x
Lauren SharpeGood wine, great company and a whole lot of yarn! Love Weave Club, such a fun way to spend a school night!
Helen JobMy new favourite place! Brooke made the workshop so fun and I was able to grasp the basics of hand-weaving super quick and am now obsessed! xx
Carly WatsonWhat an awesome place! Brooke is very accommodating and a really great teacher. The workshops are well run and above all, really fun!!
Phoebe GaydonI had the best experience making the Burnside Bibs at Make town. Brooke is such a fab teacher, she’s really put thought into making it such a lovely environment and the flexibility of coming into the studio is great.
Trey McIntryeWow! Class here was so fun. Irreverent yet educational. I was honestly very surprised with the level of knowledge I walked out of there with.
Caroline BrooksGreat place to learn crafts and buy yarn and crafty things. Wheelchair accessible but you have to give the lovely shop owner a shout to unlock the double door. Super helpful staff.
