“The best way to find out more is just to pop in and
have a chat when we’re open; there’ll always be staff
on hand to show you around and help get you started
on whatever creative journey you want to embark on.
“Workshops are a big part of what we offer,
including lots of ‘Introduction to...’ style ones in
subjects like Arduino, 3D printing, and laser cutting
to help people get started. We’ve also started
running ‘Family Maker Days’ to get younger people
exploring their creativity in the space with a series of
taster activities, and these have proved very popular,
so much so that we’re looking at doing something
similar with adults in the near future.
“Outreach work is something we want to do a lot
more in the future, getting out to schools, community
centres and the like to spread the word and create a
community of makers across the city.”


More important than
the physical space
or the tools are the
open-to-all activities
that take place at
