Did someone say TEN YEARS (2014 – 2024)?! This year we’re marking a making milestone since the workshop first opened its doors back in 2014. We would love you to join us to celebrate over a special weekend of events and activities on the 21st and 22nd September.

We’ll be taking the opportunity to look back at some of our groundbreaking projects from the last ten years, and showcasing past and present users of the space in an exhibition of work by some of London’s leading designer makers. This weekend is part of the William Morris Design Line – an open weekend of design, craft and making across Blackhorse Lane and Argall Industrial Area as part of London Design Festival and Open House Festival 2024. This is your opportunity to discover and celebrate the hidden creatives in our neighbourhood.

*Please note it is not necessary to book a ticket to attend - simply drop in!
