Making the Message is all about telling stories through a made object. Call it Artivism, or Craftivism, it’s making with a purpose; a way of expressing thoughts, ideas and issues in three dimensions. The objects aim to provoke engagement with an issue and bring new insight and perspective to the viewer.

Making the Message is me, Nikkan Woodhouse. My practice combines my background in campaigns and advocacy with my design and craft skills.  I work across a wide range of materials (wood, paper, ceramics, metal, polymers, waste) and the choice of material is often a key part of the message I’m telling.
