*Entry donation goes 100% towards our ‘Buy Time for a Maker’ Fund. This is a bursary and scholarship programme that allows makers at all levels to apply for funding to support them in taking a class, getting some additional support, booking space, and building their confidence and skills – because everyone should have access to making!

We are also taking part in Leith Creative Trail, which is a route map of all the creative happenings taking place in Leith from Saturday 29th November to Sunday 7th December. You can check out all LCT happenings HERE.
