At DOT, our studio spaces and workshop facilities are at the heart of what we do, offering makers a dynamic place to experiment, connect, and bring their designs to life.

With flexible membership options available for wood, metal, ceramics, glass, and jewellery, from casual access to full-time studio use, members can work when inspiration strikes.

Our well-equipped workshops, affordable studios, and supportive community provide the perfect environment for creative exploration across a range of materials and processes.

It’s a space where your ideas can grow alongside others, with opportunities to learn, collaborate, and tap into industry connections.

Casual Members.

Casual users have full access to the DOT workshop facilities and can choose to make use of them by the hour, the day, the week, or the month. They are a valuable part of our organisation and bring bursts of creative energy and output to our workshop and studio spaces.

Studio Holders.

In addition to our centrally located workshop facilities, we offer individual studio spaces which are available to rent. These spaces provide an affordable place from which to run a small creative business or pursue your practice. While offering some privacy and personalisation, they all open onto a large common area which encourages a spirit of community and cooperation.
