Fabric Workshop

INTRODUCTION

Every One Every Day is in its final year of operation. However, this won’t be the end of our amazing equipment being put to good use in ways that benefit local residents in Barking and Dagenham.

We have loads of workshops, machines and resources which we want to continue providing benefits to the local people of Barking and Dagenham.

We are hoping to find new and meaningful homes for everything from sewing machines to the laser cutter. If you’re interested in taking on any equipment, take your time to check out these pages that cover everything you need to know about the workshops and machines and how to re home and put them to use.

There is more detail about the process on our website, including expression of interest and application packs, frequently asked questions and contact details of our team.

THE PROCESS IN A NUTSHELL

STEP 1

Let us know you’re interested

We welcome you to get in touch, even if you don’t have a full idea of how and where you want to create a new home for the assets.

We will put people in touch if they have similar ideas, and try to connect local people that might want to use the spaces in future to organisations that think they could operate them.

Our ideal outcome is to get people collaborating and making joint submissions which have a range of voices represented.

STEP 2 Apply

You fill in an application pack and explain how you as an organisation, charity, consortium or collective intends to operate and use the assets.

We want these submissions to be detailed, as the decision makers will need to know all the relevant details before they can make a call about the best new homes.

STEP 1

Decision making by the panel

A decision-making panel will take a look at each submission and assess how well each application meets the criteria for re-homing the equipment.

The panel will have representation from the council, residents, our funders and won’t include anyone that is making a bid themselves as this could make the whole thing a bit messy.

The panel will make a recommendation to our trustees, who will take the final decision about where our workshops end up.

STEP 4

Relocating and setting up

We will work together with whoever is chosen to take on the assets to set up the equipment in its new home.

We won’t be able to help with moving the stuff, but will make sure that you have the operating information you need to set up the new workshops, and will accompany the assets with the stories of local residents that have helped make them what they are today through taking part.

MEET THE WORKSHOP SPACES & ASSETS

The areas in the Warehouse are referred to in different ways for different purposes - so you might be used to hearing about them as ‘Messy Making’ or ‘Co-working’ which contain multiple different workshops. In this context, they are referred to as areas that have a bundled set of machines and equipment that work together to function as a useful workshop or making space.

FUNCTIONAL ASSETS AT A GLANCE

The pages for each functional workshop space outline the machines, other ancillary items and provide details on how the space currently functions, where its sited and who uses it. They provide the details needed to understand rehousing these sets of machines, which will be important to consider when thinking and a new home.

Note - listing of specific requirements assumes that basic requirements are in place, e.g. 240v power, normal height ceilings, well ventilated areas with sufficiently bright light. It also assumes that moving will happen with suitable sized vehicles and access to basic lifting equipment.

CERAMICS STUDIO IN DETAIL

The Ceramics Studio is one of the areas that has had the most programming, iterations and use over time. It has been augmented several times to become a set of machines capable of mass production as well as hobbyist use, and is perfectly equipped to form a highly desirable and productive studio.

One of the main considerations for turning this into an effective space in future is the requirement of management time by competent people of the kiln, reclaiming of clay and overseeing projects or products that people make.

Area

Power requirements 3 phase

Fixed Requirements

Standard plumbing and wastewater. Good lighting.

Floor Area 80 m2

The machines are relatively easy to reconfigure, with only the kiln having specific power requirements and high levels of associated risk. The machines require some careful consideration in terms of layout to manage flow, and to separate and store work in progress. Currently the machines are set up around custom made tables, which could be replaced or reconstructed at a new site.

Moving Requirements

Forklift for kiln, specific plumbing requirements.

Clay is liable to produce a fair amount of mess, with both aesthetic and health related impacts, so ease of cleaning is important for the space, with multiple sinks with clay traps ideal for keeping things clean whilst avoiding clogging drains. The floor and surfaces should be easy to wipe down and cleaned after each session

People

Additional functionality needed to complete

If the area is not well ventilated the kiln will need extraction.

Number of inducted people 34 Users desiring continued access

Various individual residents and programmed groups including SLAB. Also popular with school groups and other partners.

Approximate value £15,000

There are various sets of residents that are likely to be keen to maintain access, and who would be interested in any ongoing programming in the space. The business programmes run from the space, as well as the Maker in Residence could form opportunities for ongoing use in a new location.

Maintenance & Upkeep

The nature of a ceramics space means that regular upkeep is required, both in terms of cleaning and general management, as well as processing products through the various stages of development and firing. To facilitate the regular time inputs needed to make this an effective space, it would likely be most effectively run in a hybrid model of production and open access. .

Number of inducted people 6 Users desiring continued access Various individual residents, as well as partner organisations.

Currently housed within the Messy Making area of the Warehouse, these machines are set up in an open plan area that is beyond a key fob controlled door for safety. The area has specific extraction and monitoring of particulate matter to ensure that fumes are within safe working limits, and it favours a space where odours can be produced and where it can be kept relatively separate from other working areas.

People

Multiple organisations use these machines as part of ongoing partnerships, primarily Handle and Are You Mad that operate small businesses based around plastic production. An ongoing relationship with these organisations may be possible as they currently do amazing work around turning waste plastics into useful stuff and will need ongoing acess to machines.

Maintenance & Upkeep

As light industrial machines, regular maintenance and servicing is relatively minimal, but management and a maintenance schedule is important to avoid damage. The primary consideration for upkeep of this space is to manage the flow and storage of materials, and ensure hazards are effectively minimised. This inclused monitoring air quality.

Number of inducted people 5 (with need for ongoing support)

Users desiring continued access Inductees to continue learning

Approximate Value £20,000

The CNC machine itself is a freestanding unit with an attached extraction unit that collects milled matter in bags. There are hazards associated with using or being close to the machine when it is running which necessitates controlled access. The machine is currently housed in an enclosed room that is keypad controlled, but other options for ensuring safety are available, such as an emergency cutoff when someone stands too close.

People

Although the CNC machine has been activated for various projects and programmes, there remain no local residents that are able to use the machine without support. Whilst there are many interested individuals, there are no communities or groups connected to the project that are able to activate the machine immediately. This machine would favour a highly structured, programmed space with opportunities to get involved.

Maintenance & Upkeep

Regular servicing and maintenance is required by competent individuals is required to keep this machine in good working order. This consists of small daily and weekly tasks such as routine cleaning, calibrating and removal of milled matter, to more in depth servicing that must be carried out by an approved contractor. .

Users desiring continued access Various individual residents, as well as partner organisations.

There are certain residents that have played a key part in developing and overseeing this area. They would like to be involved in discussions about the future of the space and ongoing plans about access. This space is also accessed by users and organisations of other spaces as their functionality overlaps with various other areas of the Warehouse.

Maintenance & Upkeep

Regular servicing, management and maintenance is required for these machines to keep them in good working order. This includes replacing blades and consumables and ensuring that they are used properly. They are also machines with higher inherent risk, and must be managed accordingly. This workshop favours a setup that is actively used by a team, or managed as part of regular programming as the maintenance requirements are difficult to manage in a self-organising open access space.

Approximate Value £7,000

The current area is large in size as the space is available, but it could be housed in a more compact area if required, or expand out further again into a production line. The studio has various stations, with a large cutting table and materials storage forming the centre, with individual sewing machines making up individual work stations. Most machines are on wheels and the surrounding space can be largely equipped with generic furniture and equipment.

People

Well over 100 people have been inducted into the use of this space, with multiple sole traders and collaborative businesses operating from the space in previous years. There are likely to be numerous avenues and opportunities for continued use in a new home, as well as communities that may be interested in being involved in management and running of this space in a new home.

Maintenance & Upkeep

General upkeep of this space is relatively minimal, with the nature of the activities being generally clean and easy to organise. This space operates well as a self-managing space, although there is a need for annual maintenance and servicing for most machines. .

PODCAST STUDIO IN DETAIL

The Podcast Studio contains everything you need to produce professional quality podcasts, teach people about the basics of sound recording and capture stories and content.

With a focus on balancing high-quality production whilst being easy to learn, the simple but powerful mixer and studio quality microphones would make an amazing addition to a library or learning space. Most people will require some support to learn the basisc of production, but once the basics are understood it is an amazing and accessible resource for storytelling.

Area

Power

Fixed

The podcast studio is a small, self contained recording suite that has everything required to make professional quality podcasts. Currently it is set up in a glass meeting room using regular domestic plugs and domestic furniture. The current home is not fully soundproof, but is more than adequate for making podcasts. It could be sited in any small room that is not subject to excessive noise and has access to power.

People

As a new addition to the Warehouse, this has had minimal time to be programmed. However in the short time it has been open for use by residents it has been incredibly popular. It has formed the basis of a project of storytelling about the lives of local people and it is likely to be popular in future due to interest in podcasting and the ease of use.

Maintenance & Upkeep

Very minimal maintenance is required to keep this suite in good running order, with none of the items in the studio needing regular maintenance beyond generally cleanliness and repairing wear and tear.

Users desiring continued access Minimal

Approximate Value £5,000

The machines are easy to re-configure based on available space. In a large space, and with some additional functionality, the machines could create a full sized business operation. The equipment for developing screens ideally requires a dark room style space, although it is possible to operate without this. Washing screens requires the location of the screen washing booth in an area that is either outdoors, or can accommodate wet use. Printing itself can occur in any indoor space that isn’t subject to excessive particles or dust and is very flexible, although liable to get messy with paint.

People

This area has had little activation due to being purchased late in the life of the project. It was operated by a Maker in Residence for some time, which could give rise to future opportunities. Apart from a few residents with a keen interest in screen printing (who informed the purchase of this equipment), it is likely to have minimal people that would want to move with the area and activate it in the short term.

Maintenance & Upkeep

Although specific maintenance for the machines associated with this area are relatively minimal as they are reasonably simple and robust, the space requires regular general tidying and management to keep it in clean and orderly condition.

DIGITAL MAKING IN DETAIL

These machines are much loved and have prompted lots of learning and experimentation over time. They are all subject to the need for digital skills, primarily in computer-based design programmes, and a relatively deep level of knowledge is required to troubleshoot when things don’t go as planned.

Unlike the CNC machine they are portable, and have few safety considerations, although maintenance by competent people is greater than many of the other machines listed.

Number of inducted people 65 Users desiring continued access

Numerous individual residents, including key residents that activate these machines regularly.

Approximate Value £25,000

The current area for Digital Making consists simply of an open space with normal power outlets. It is one of the simplest areas to locate, with the only specific requirement being extraction for the laser cutter if not using a filter system. It could be housed in lots of existing spaces, such as in a library or workspace and operation is intriguing to watch. It would function best if co-located with a digital suite.

People

There are numerous individuals that would be very interested in maintaining access to these machines. There is regular activation of the space by keen local residents for learning and sharing activities, as well as multiple individuals that use the machines for personal and small business related use.

Maintenance & Upkeep

The maintenance and upkeep of these machines requires specific skills and capabilities, and could be a safety issue if completed incorrectly. The machines require a high standard of cleanliness in order to correctly function, and as well as upkeep, support in troubleshooting is often required by less experienced users.

The garden is currently housed in the existing car park of the warehouse, covering a large concrete area that forms a base for the structure. The current setup extends to cover a greater area than the structure itself and is also home to planters and mature trees that are sited on pallets and other temporary structures.

People

Multiple residents have been involved in planting and managing the garden space, with a group called the Potting Shed running events and activities to plant and organise the space. The structure itself is open access, and is regularly used for socialising during warmer months.

Maintenance & Upkeep

Users desiring continued access Various individual residents, as well as partner organisations.

The structure itself requires minimal maintenance and upkeep, and although there is a need for some operational management - if used with an irrigation system this is relatively infrequent. If intended to be used for planting of annuals and edible plants, regular management and input is required. .

BARKING SHOP

Overview

55 Ripple Road was the first Every One Every Day shop to open. Operating as a ‘neighbourhood shop’ since 2018, It was previously home to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and was significantly upgraded to make the space feel more open and inviting. The space boasts a large bright and inviting main space that is flexible and can play host to all manner of activities.

This is complemented by multiple smaller rooms that are easy to reconfigure to meet a range of needs, plus a community kitchen which can easily accommodate groups of 10 or more people cooking together! It even has a small yard that can accommodate a barbecue in summer. It is fully wheelchair accessible, and a brilliant place for family activities due to a spacious baby change and smaller spaces that are excellent quiet spaces.

Current Lease Rent

Nuts & Bolts

The space is heated by a gas central heating system, and is fitted with CCTV. The kitchen is currently registered as a food business, but this is awaiting review.

People

The space at Ripple Rd has been attended by thousands of local residents since opening, and is a well known landmark in the area. There are a number of local residents that would be keen to continue to have an open space at this location, and to continue cooking and playing activities if possible. Alongside general use by the community, it has been used by a variety of different local organisations that have made use of the various spaces on offer. From support services that have used the quiet office rooms, or local businesses, charities and organisations that have hosted events such as cooking sessions or play activities. It will likely be a space that is in high demand for individual and group use for as long as it is available to the community.

MARKS GATE SHOP

Overview

111 Rose Lane was previously used as a taxi office, and was converted into a community space in 2019. The rear of the space has had considerable remodelling, with a roof being installed over the concrete yard space to provide a bright and welcoming workshop space that backs onto a garden and living wall.

The main space is bright and inviting, with the ceilings being removed to expose attractive beams and a multi-functional open plan design making it suitable for a range of activities. The space has great access to a busy shopping parade and space on the pavement front for street activities and games when weather permits.

Nuts & Bolts

Heating for the space is provided by plug-in heaters, with the rear covered space generally used only during warmer months. Hot water is produced by electric heating units in the kitchen and bathroom. The front of the space is protected by a roller shutter, and CCTV is installed in the main space.

People

The space on Rose Lane is often cited as being a much needed place for people in Marks Gate, an area that often feels forgotten about by local residents. There are a number of residents that would be keen to continue caring for the living wall and garden, and partner organisations are keen to continue to make use of the space for the benefit of residents.
