Tucked away in an industrial zone, the Artifactory is a vibrant, volunteer-run makerspace that’s been empowering creators for over 16 years. Unlike traditional community Men’s sheds, it offers 24/7 access to members and supports a wide range of hands-on and digital crafts—from woodworking and metalworking to 3D printing, laser cutting, and electronics. Entirely funded by its members, the Artifactory thrives on a culture of collaboration, innovation, and self-sufficiency.

Whether you're building a coffee table, designing cosplay props, or learning to cast bronze, the Artifactory provides the tools, training, and community to bring your ideas to life. With regular workshops, social events, and outreach programs, it’s more than just a workspace—it’s a creative ecosystem where skills are shared, projects come to life, and everyone is welcome to make, learn, and contribute.
