Do you want to meet other creatives and digital practitioners, get hands-on with creative tech, and enjoy free desk space for the day? Then join us for a Studio/Lab Open Day!

Our monthly Studio/Lab open days are the perfect opportunity to experience what it's like to be an artist member. Open days are held on the last Friday of every month and run between 11:00-16:00. This season, open days will take place on 25 July, 29 August and 26 September.
Come along and enjoy:
- Access to Studio/Lab for up to 5 hours
- A desk space for you to work
- Unlimited free tea and coffee
- Opportunities to meet and connect with digital artists, practitioners, researchers, and other creatives interested in Studio/Lab, along with current members who can share the inside scoop
In addition to co-working space and the chance to chat with the team and other creatives, each open day includes an informal skills drop-in where you’re welcome to get hands-on with a selection of Studio/Lab’s creative tech:
FRI 25 JULY – EXPERIMENTAL MICROPHONES
Explore creative alternative microphones to uncover hidden sound worlds and experience how they capture vibrations and frequencies normally inaudible to the human ear.
FRI 29 AUGUST – CREATING 3D SCENES FOR VIRTUAL REALITY
Get a beginner-friendly introduction to building 3D spaces you can explore in Virtual Reality.
FRI 26 SEPTEMBER – EXPLORING 3D SCANNING
Try scanning objects to create virtual 3D models. We’ll lay out a few different options to begin experimenting with this technical process, from accessible mobile apps to more advanced 3D scanners.
