You can help Canberra Creatives cultivate the artistic, crafty and design community of Canberra by supporting the The Makers’ Hub with a pledge!

We’ve got the venue, we’ve got the furniture, we’ve got the guts and the gusto. And we’re so close to welcoming everyone in to join us in our custom made space, but we need your help.

The Makers’ Hub will be Canberra’s most comprehensive range of creative activities available under the one roof. It will be a space for creative people to come to connect, create, learn and grow. We will be the creative enablers and The Makers’ Hub will be your retreat. We will encourage, support and foster your creativity with workshops, events, exhibitions and more.


Help us deck out The Makers Hub with the coolest creative equipment available in Canberra, all for you to use! What we need help with, is funds to cover the tools, machinery, appliances and supplies, to facilitate as many art, craft and design activities as possible. The more funds we raise, the more cool stuff we can get for you to play with!

How The Funds Will Be Used

100% of funds raised will go to purchasing machinery, craft tools, equipment and supplies to be used in The Hub.

An approximate breakdown might look something like this:

Ceramics & Glass Kiln $2k-$4k
Letterpress printing press $2k
Printer $200
Laminator $30
High Quality A3 Guillotine $300
Binding Machine $300
Digital cutting machine $400
Button Press Machine (2 sizes) $325
Photography supplies (light box, product backdrops etc) $55
3D Printer $1500
Sewing Machine $250
Screen Printing Supplies $150
Moulds for bangles, bowls, beads and more $200
Cutting Mats $75
Paper Punches $150
General Craft tools (knives, scissors, paint brushes, sponges etc) $75
Specific Craft Tools (felting needles, jewellery making tools) $75
Kids art supplies $50

These items total over $8000, we'd like to get so much more for you to come and use too!

The Challenges

The project is already up and running, we had our Grand Opening of The Makers' Hub on Thursday 27th March which was a raging success. We have so much support for the space from the creative community in Canberra, so not reaching our financial goal would mean we would be unable to purchase as many awesome things for this community to have access to, which would be very sad.
