About our Makerspaces

A Makerspace is a space that provides its users with access to a range of digital equipment for digital design and fabrication.

Our Makerspaces provide access to a 3D Printer, Cricut Maker 3, MAYKU Vacuum Former, Heat Press, Laser Cutter, 360 GoPro, DSLR Cameras and much more. To find out more, visit our HOME page and click on the image of the equipment that you would like to learn about.

For more information on the equipment that we have on offer please visit our Penarth Makerspace Eventbrite or our Barry Makerspace Eventbrite. Here you will find our “Meet your Makerspace” events. During this hour long event you will be given a tour of the space by a member of staff and the opportunity to learn how you can gain new digital fabrication skills.

If you would like to boost your CV and have a skill set that you would like to share, we would love to have you here! As the Makerspace is focused on digital design and fabrication a background in Art and Design or IT would be ideal but we are open to suggestions and would love to hear your ideas!
