Makerspace

Makerspace, an open workshop, is a variable space fully equipped for creative activities, experimenting and making things. The aim of the open workshop is to offer a space for DIY, hobbies, arts and crafts and professionals who need workshop facilities and various tools they don't have at home or in their workshop. We also offer regular courses for the general public that introduce new technologies and help you master various techniques.

It is a unique concept inspired by various foreign FabLabs - small urban labs and workshops. Makerspace has a metal and woodwork workshops, a sewing shop, a screen-printing shop, a graphical shop and a FabLab with new technologies. Apart from courses, it also offers a membership allowing DIY fans and professional craftsmen and designers to use a wide range of professional tools in a shared, and therefore cheaper, way. You will be guided by experienced lecturers on your way to your own product.
