werkhouse

In 2017 a small group of design professionals from Bristol and Bath got together to deliberate the changing needs of the commercial design industry. How can graduates avoid the shock of deadlines and client negotiation when they enter a real studio environment? Are there other pathways for those talented and creative thinkers for whom university is unaffordable or is just not part of their family’s — or their own — expectation? What started as a small group of like-minded colleagues, grew to a team of 20 design professionals, and the idea of Werkhouse was born. Werkhouse is a weekend of studio-led design training; fast-paced, client focussed and a team oriented workshop. Following the success of the first werkhouse weekend in 2017, we’re back again this year. This time our weekend workshop is for 2nd year university students, so they can take their experience of Werkhouse into their final year of study. Once again, we’ll be at Taxi Studio, with some of the region’s most respected design industry professionals
