Bristol Hackspace

I have been looking into the Bristol Hackspace as option for continuing my practice after graduation. The space is located near Bristol town centre so it is local to me. It provides tools, heavy machinery, laser cutters, 3D printers, CNC milling and skillshare workshops to its members and provides you with a community of people committed to sharing knowledge. Membership costs £10-20 per month and around £2 for one-time use.

The space would be beneficial to me as it would allow me to carry on designing and making furniture, however it is not a studio space and therefore any work made would have to be stored away or taken home. Access to the laser cutter and 3D printers would enable me to keep my skills with them up to date when I no longer have access to CSAD’s facilities.
