Come and hang out while working on your weird and wonderful project!

Open Studios are now every week, Wednesdays starting at 7pm. It’s the perfect chance for members and non-members alike to get together and see

It’s happening in two hours!!!

HAND MADE MUSIC WORKING GROUP

Based on the amazing response to the Hand Made Music Night, we’ve started the Hand Made Music Working Group. The group meets the third Monday of every month to work on, show, and help each other with hand made electronic musical instruments.

Run by Stephen McLeod and Andrew Lovett-Barron, the Hand Made Music Working Group is an informal gathering open to anyone interested in making their own electronic instruments.

The next meeting is on June 21rst, 7PM.

The dremel is missing from the studio. Please return it if you have it, no questions asked.

A reminder: tools cannot and should not be removed from the studio. The studio is a shared space that depends on trust and community. Please keep your fellow members in mind when using the studio equipment or removing it (which you shouldn’t!) from the studio.
