Home to furniture makers, set builders, bike fabricators, screen printers, blade-smiths, metalworkers, prop makers, upholsterers and more – EOW is a makerspace open to makers of every type, at every level – so come see what we are all about!
Enjoy learning some of the basics of woodworking as you put together a small planter perfect for house plants, herb gardens, or anything else your green thumb can imagine! With all the tools, materials, and teaching included, this mini-workshop is perfect for anyone who is keen to give woodworking a try.
For budding textile designers you could get involved in Katie Charlson’s upcycling workshop, where you refresh your clothes with your own screen-printed designs.
For family participants, one space booking can be used for solo working for those 13+, OR a parent/guardian to work alongside any participants age 8 – 12.
For any keen future woodworkers under 8, we have our tool-less Build a Birdhouse, Balance Board or Plant Stand workshop available on the same day, no advance booking required.
