The Central Coast’s creative community has an exciting new home with the launch of the Artisan Estate Maker Shed, a welcoming space in Somersby that’s perfect for hobbyists and creative enthusiasts.
The facility offers evening and weekend access, allowing members to work on projects without disturbing family or neighbours, a key benefit for those who’ve always wanted to try woodworking, metalworking, or other hands-on hobbies but lacked a suitable space.
Members can access a range of equipment for various creative pursuits, including metalworking and welding, forging and blacksmithing, laser engraving, wood and metal cutting, and woodworking.
“We’ve created a space where creativity has no limits – or noise restrictions,” Artisan Estate’s Madeline Stratford said.
“Many people love making things but can’t run tools at home during evenings or weekends because of noise.
“Our facility solves that problem, letting members work on their projects when it suits them best.”
Interested community members are invited to book a free workshop tour to explore the space and learn more about the creative possibilities available.
The facility welcomes makers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced hobbyists.
Additionally, memberships are open to students aged 16 and 17 years who are keen to develop their practical, design and trade skills.
“Whether you’re interested in crafting unique art pieces, knifemaking, working on passion projects, upcycling, repairing, or just skill building at your own pace; the Maker Shed provides the perfect environment for makers of all interests,” Stratford said.
“The beauty of our space is that you can start small and dream big.”
Artisan Estate Maker Shed is a community-focused space that aims to foster creativity and skill-sharing among Central Coast residents through its public membership program, and welcoming environment.
