The Pumphouse is thrilled to invite local makers, artists and curious creatives to discover our dynamic facilities, explore our equipment and experience the vibrant community of our maker space.
Join us for our Open Day on Saturday 10 May, from 10am to 3pm for a firsthand look at the studios in action. With a variety of workshops running throughout the day, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore what’s on offer before becoming a member.
Designed to inspire and support, The Pumphouse is a dedicated creative hub for craftspeople and artists of all skill levels. Housed in a beautifully restored heritage building, the space provides access to essential tools, resources and a collaborative network to help creative practitioners thrive.
Susan Reid, Coordinator of The Pumphouse, says the Open Day is all about connection and creativity.
“The Pumphouse was designed to bring people together — to create, to learn and to share ideas. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting out, this is a space where your creativity can grow. We’re excited to open the doors and welcome the community in.”
The Pumphouse Open Day is free to attend, and all are welcome. To help us plan for the day, please book your free ticket here: Open Day - 10 May - The Pumphouse.
