Tell us your making story! We’re looking for stories of ‘everyday making’ in the Midlands.
Do you make as a hobby, for wellbeing, as a form of activism, for self-expression or with a group, community or club? We want to hear from you!
We want to tell your stories using film, photography, audio podcasts and writing online.
If you or someone you know has a story that you’d like to be considered, you can get in touch via the contact details on our website's 'Tell us your making story' page.
We’ll be reviewing the stories that come in on a rolling basis, so please get in touch as soon as you can. The callout will remain open until Saturday 12th October.

They are wearing a white shirt with an orange dress made from recycled materials, and fake vine leaves wrapped around the dress. In the background they stand on a balcony of a building with lots of green plants and flowers in pots and 'The Dye Garden' painted on the wall.
