Does anyone here have any experience running or even just attending a community space that's a kind of drop-in art studio/creative workspace? Like somewhere that has a bunch of different art and craft supplies and tools, you can take your own project, you can speak with people there, learn new skills, try the stuff they've got, etc.
I'm interested in knowing what activities went on there, how you ran it or what you got from it as a participant, etc.
@welshpixie I found it helpful, but the afternoon went so fast! Because it's in a store, if you need something, you can just buy it, but thankfully, no pressure to do so.
There are also library makerspaces in Melbourne, which are well equipped with sewing + embroidery machines + overlockers + fancy iron + all the accessories eg scissors/pins/thread etc. You need an introduction re: OH & S, then you wear a lanyard every time you're there. Usually open around 10-6 mon-sun with at least 2 staff.
