The Creative Workshop

The Creative Workshop, where tradition meets innovation. Designed for budding architects, designers, and makers, our workshop is equipped with a unique blend of modern tools and analogue machinery, we offer a hands-on approach to crafting models, prototypes, and custom designs.

At the heart of our workshop is a selection of analogue machines, from traditional bandsaws and sanders to hotwire cutters and hand tools that encourage creativity through physical engagement. Whether you're shaping materials by hand or fine-tuning a model, these machines allow for a connection with your work, blending craftsmanship with architectural vision.

Technical knowledge, advice and assistance is always on hand via our technical team who combined have over 50 years' worth of experience in model making, joinery and specialist fabrication processes. Our space is also complemented by a casting area, spray booth and assembly space which offers a rich environment to explore, experiment, and bring your architectural concepts to life.
