Bench Hire, Tuition & Mentoring 

Workspace offers space for makers to practice their craft and build their skills on their own time. 

 

  • Our Bench Rental options are tailored to those who still need a bit of help with something they have

already learned in a class, to those who are competant in a studio but need to work in a supervised space

for health & safety reasons and to those who are ready to take the leap and have a permanent

space as a Workspace Resident. 

 

  • There are one-on-one tuition options available for those who need specialist lessons or who prefer the

flexibility of working outside of normal class-times and topics. 

​

  • Our "Couples Sessions" can also be expanded to include bespoke tuition options for small groups of

makers - ideal if you want to have a little group to learn a tricky skill together

and share the price of the tuition. 

 

  • For those who live outside of our geographical locations, we can also provide mentoring services tailored to your needs. Whether that's a short studio visit to one of our studios to have an overview of your issue, or emails with photos, we will work to find out the best option for you and your learning.
