When can I come and use the Workshop?

Paying members can come and use the Workshop in their own time, 7am to 10pm every day. There are a couple of caveats:

  • You’ll need to complete an induction

  • You can only use tools when there’s someone else present

  • Check out our policies for full details

Non-paying members can come and use the Workshop during drop-in hours, see our calendar for details

Women and Gender Minorities (WAG)?

WAG have historically been (and still are) excluded from practical spaces. This leads to deep divides in skills as well cultural and individual marginalisation and trauma. Watch this vid for an explanation.
