A new podcast by MakeShift that explores creativity as a prescription for challenging times. Can sewing, knitting, painting, writing or singing be good for us? Even if we're not very good at it? What are the mental health benefits of a creative habit? In The Making talks to artists and makers from different disciplines about their creative practice and how it helped them through a difficult time. They also share the tools in their creative first aid kit.
