COURTYARD

A neighbourhood maker club

Bring your
unfinished things.

A jacket to mend. A print to try. A question for the person across the table. Courtyard makes room for all three.

A place to ask,
not to impress.

The useful part of a shared workspace is often the conversation across it. A question about paper becomes a lesson in grain. A loose seam becomes a reason to learn a new stitch.

There is room for watching, trying and changing your mind. Ask before lending a hand; explaining a process is not the same as taking over someone else's project.
Leave the tool ready, the table clear, and the next person a way in.

Find your way into the circle

Can I watch before trying anything?
Watching and asking questions are useful ways to participate. Choose a place that keeps the working area and walking routes clear.
How do we share tools?
Ask the owner first. Agree on the safe way to use the tool, return it clean and stop when something feels unfamiliar. A shared room does not replace training.
