About Us
Our Values & Philosophy
At Nature Makers®, we believe creativity and nature are powerful tools for lifelong wellbeing.
Every class, workshop and gathering is rooted in our commitment to:
🎨 Creative Expression — sparking imagination and joy at every age and stage.
🌍 Sustainable & Compassionate Stewardship — caring for people, animals and the planet with respect.
🤝 Inclusive & Accessible Experiences — welcoming people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
🌱 Lifelong Learning & Growth — fostering resilience, curiosity and emotional wellbeing.
🌳 Wellbeing in Nature — reconnecting people to the natural world and themselves.
Our philosophy is simple: when people connect with nature through creativity, they flourish.
Our Story & Team
Nature Makers® was founded in 2019 by Faye (pictured above at her first Festival with baby in sling!), who started with one small preschool class in Tamworth as a way to connect with her young son. What began as playful, creative time together quickly revealed its deeper value: supporting wellbeing, easing stress, and strengthening bonds through time in nature.
From that single class, Nature Makers® has grown into a nationwide network of Franchisees. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds, but all share a love for nature, creativity, and helping others. Together, we bring mindful art, craft, and play into homes, schools, care settings, workplaces, and communities across the UK.
We are more than a team.
We are a movement for whole-life wellbeing through nature - and if you want to be part of that then visit the Franchise page for more information.
