Book a Bench – Supported Access
Each week, we we have a dedicated time where we give exclusive access to the workshop to members with specific access needs. Booking via Humantix is required.
This time slot rotates between the following groups:
Women & Non-Binary Makers Session
A monthly session for women (cis and trans) and non-binary people to work on their own project in a safe and inclusive space.
We believe there is no “right way” to look like a woman or a non-binary person. We celebrate all gender presentations and identities—whether you are high-femme, masculine-presenting, or anywhere in between, you belong here exactly as you are.
This session is led by volunteers.
You must be an Edinburgh Tool Library Member and have an up to date workshop safety induction.
LGBT+ Makers Session (coming soon)
Coming Soon- A monthly session for any LGBT+ identifying person to work on their own project in a safe and inclusive space.
