Make Shift Fundamentals: Growing a creative Idea

Get your creative ideas off the ground in 2026 with Make Shift Fundamentals!

Throughout February join us for a 4-part masterclass for early career creatives 18-30s (ish) with members of the Watershed Team exploring everything from ideas development and growing audiences, to contracting and funding. 

This first session will be hosted by Tony Bhajam who will explore some central questions to ask yourself when developing creative ideas and projects to help expand your creative ideas and create space for conversation about your ideas and feedback.

Bring along any ideas, projects or prototypes you have, but don't worry if you don't have anything ready to talk about, we can help get you going.

What is Make Shift and who is it for?

Make Shift is Watershed’s ongoing series of meet-ups, workshops, projects, and programmes built to support 18-30s (ish) people to explore their creative, tech, or film practice and grow their ideas.

Our Make Shift community has lots of people in the early stages of exploring what ‘their practice’ is or could be, and people in the early stages of careers in creative industries.

You don’t need to be working in creative industries or consider yourself to have a ‘creative practice’ to come along. If you’re curious then this is for you.
