Our Makerspace

The Waiting Room hosts a Makerspace with two open workshops providing shared access to tools and machinery for making.

The facility operates on a membership subscription and is pay-what-you-can, so it’s affordable to all!

If you are interested in joining we suggest you attend one of our free monthly open days or contact our workshop manager to arrange a tour. Please see our Events Calendar for Open Days or Contact Us to arrange a tour.

The Makerspace is constantly growing and currently includes:

1. Sculpture Studio — providing shared access to tools and machinery such as a kiln, large saws, a lathe, sanders, piller drills and metal work tools.

2. Print and Textiles Studio — providing shared access to letterpress, silkscreen, a darkroom and textiles equipment such as a cutting table, sewing, weaving and knitting machines.

Notes:
Before anyone is allowed to access the Makespace we have designed a one off, single day, mandatory induction that everyone must complete to gain general access, see our Events Calendar for details.

Some tools may require specialist training too.

This session will be led by a Workshop Supervisor.
