Watch the Pecha Kucha videos from Materials, Manufacturing, Machines

This month Make Works curated the Glasgow Pecha Kucha in collaboration with The Whisky Bond. This was a great opportunity to bring the manufacturing industry together with artists, designers and makers from Glasgow and beyond. We heard some fantastic stories which you can check out below.

Thank you to all of our amazing speakers for taking to the stage, and to the lovely people at The Whisky Bond and TAKTAL who helped us make it all happen.
