We now have more members spaces! We can now accommodate up to 14 members in the studio, offering private desk spaces, additional storage and still offering ample communal making space where members can spread out and work on projects. We also have a private meeting room and are currently working on a dedicated photography studio space that members can utilise for product and lifestyle shots and that can also be hired. We are updating our equipment and have recently added a new Jack industrial 4 thread overlocker to our list. Do get in touch if you are looking for studio space and we will be happy to show you round!
