This space is ideal for students, freelancers, label start-ups, or hobbyists and provides you with your own 1.5 meter table space and storage as well as your own industrial sewing machine and access to industrial pressing equipment. But more importantly, it is an opportunity to join a collective and work alongside and learn from 10 individuals with diverse skill sets. Members of the collective will also have the opportunity to participate in or run learning events and short courses. The studio’s open plan also lends itself to hosting networking events, catwalk/salon shows, and product launches. Being based in Hackney Downs Studios you will benefit from being part of a larger creative community consisting of record labels, florists, filmmakers to architects, 3D printers, and cabinet makers. It is home to The Russet bar, The Village Green Market, and The Theatre, with regular events including Music, nightlife, arts, food and drink, and shopping.
