ReMakerSpace - door De Creatieve STEM
At the ReMakerSpace, visitors can experiment for themselves with machines, materials and techniques. With the support of volunteers, they can get to work with textiles, digital design and upcycling, amongst other things. There is also scope for experimenting with biomaterials, spinning and thread. In the nearby… An open lab for discovering, trying things out and creating!
At the ReMakerSpace, visitors can get hands-on with machines and techniques to experiment, repair and create new work using existing materials. Volunteers are on hand to guide them and show them how to use the various machines. From digital design to textile processing: visitors are free to explore, experiment and bring their own ideas to life. The space brings together a range of creative possibilities, including a laser cutter, 3D printers, a sublimation printer, an embroidery machine, a needle felting machine, sewing and overlock machines, cutting plotters and heat presses. There is also a focus on materials research. As part of the ReFabLab project, Selenia will be working with biomaterials, giving new life to waste material from tufting. At Margot’s, visitors can discover fibre spinning and try it out for themselves. Other experiments with textiles and thread are also featured here. Specific workshops will take place during the festival, but you can also explore the machines, techniques and materials in between activities. Near the ReMakerSpace is the Print Pavilion, where visitors can print their own T-shirts. And even after the festival, you can continue to create and experiment. Ghent has a network of makerspaces, each with its own machines, expertise and community. The ReMakerSpace is organised by De Creatieve STEM vzw. You’re also welcome to visit our own Ingegno Maker Space in Drongen during the open lab.
