MAKlab

I’ve walked passed MAKlab so many times but I don’t know why I’ve never utilised it before! Being a designer, this space and facility is actually pretty damn useful for me, and also for other self-​employed designers and students!
It’s located at Charing Cross, next to Gesso, at the corner! It seems small but contrary to popular belief, it’s actually quite large! They have a basement and back studios as well, and possibly an upstairs area that I probably don’t know about lol.
I went for a design workshop hosted by RSA Scotland and they used the event space downstairs to host the activities! It’s relatively large, enough to fit about 20 – 30 people comfortably!
Anyway, the great thing about MAKlab is that if you have any ideas for design that you want to create, you can go ahead and rent their facilities and also ask for some help on how to make things too! They have 3D printers, laser cutters, tools and computers, desk space, all of it! And it’s open to everyone
If you’re a freelancer like me, you can consider joining their membership which allows you to use all their facilities and have some space for work! It’s awesome. About £120 a year? Not bad
Anyway I’m gonna make my way there soon to see if I can grab a space to do work as well! :)
