Walking tour — the Lab, end to end

A guided walk through the workshops, the IEL and the materials library. The gentlest way in — no booking of tools, just a look at what a third kind of space can do.

Creative making — laser cutting, first cut

An afternoon on the laser cutter, taught by the team. Design a small piece, cut it, take it home. No experience needed — you leave having made something.
