Wieden + Kennedy workshop now ready for use
The W+K craft workshop is
now all tooled up and ready for action. It's in one of our 'garage' rooms.
This space is for everyone to use, to play, experiment and build in.
The workshop is fitted out with all sorts of kit to help take people's ideas to the next level. Or just give them some room to play and think
away from computers.
Just to give you a taster this is the sort of kit waiting to be used:
Make your own posters with screen and lino printing kits.
Large studio easel, paints and brushes to go to town on those 'new joiner' self-portraits.
Sewing machine and threads so you can run up a nice new pair of Junky Styling-style slacks.
Power tools – jigsaw, sander and drill for those tricky W+K window installations.
Fabric pens – ideal for designing the next W+K T-shirt.
Massive tool kit for customizing your brand new fixed wheels.
Saw horses and workshop bench for the big stuff.
Lomo cameras for some shooting-from-the-hip Lomography.
Multimeter and soldering iron for a bit of Arduino practice, get your computer talking to your lunch.
Cutting mats and glue guns for building prototypes for your product design projects.
An A2 light box for those complex layouts or illustrations.
It’s a great space and it'll be interesting to see how people use it.
Users will need to have a short health and safety induction with one
of the W+K Health and Safety officers before they can get stuck in. And we've prepared a handy safety tips reference poster:
Finally a big thanks to everyone who helped get the space up and
running, especially Ronny, John, Bronwen, Donna and Sam and to Nicole
and Yuki for the Craft Workshop Dos and Don’ts poster.
Happy hammering.
