The Creative Home of TRAIL
The Makery @TAAG is the creative headquarters of TRAIL, a vibrant community arts space where environmental creativity, sculpture making, workshops, and recycled art come together throughout the year.
Located in the heart of Teignmouth, The Makery acts as both a working studio and a welcoming community creative space. It is where many TRAIL sculptures are imagined, developed, and constructed, while also providing an accessible environment for people of all ages and abilities to explore creativity through recycled materials and shared making.
Brimming with donated, reclaimed, and repurposed materials, The Makery has become a unique community resource centre supporting artists, schools, workshops, volunteers, and creative projects connected to TRAIL and beyond.
FREE RECYCLED ART WORKSHOPS
The Makery is home to TRAIL’s free recycled art workshops and open creative sessions, offering opportunities for children, adults, families, community groups, and visitors to experiment, create, learn new skills, and engage with environmental themes through art.
