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. .
