Katie Phillips

Katie Phillips is the founder of Make & See, a project seeking to make art experiences accessible to all. With her background across the arts, education and mental health, Katie finds joy in creating open-ended invitations for others to play and make together. After being told she would never be an artist because she ‘can’t draw’, she is passionate about creating low pressure, comfortable and fun environments that champion the process not the outcome.

Clara Lloyd

'Clara’s creative play sessions with children and families blend joyful exploration with the depth of her therapeutic and child development expertise. Drawing on her background in Play & Creative Arts Therapy, she creates sensory-rich, imaginative spaces where children feel safe to express themselves, connect, and follow their curiosity. Each session is playful and warm, yet grounded in Clara’s commitment to emotional wellbeing, mindful creativity, and nurturing every child’s sense of confidence and wonder.'
