Make Works, a global network

We from Make Works are a global network of regions. We ideate, create and make in a distributed yet local way.

Make Works are making manufacturing accessible. Think of it like a public library. An open resource made by dedicated factory finders where you can discover skilled manufacturers, tools and materials to make work in your area.

For Make Works Paris, we focus on collaborative processes between actors, and how the workshops are success stories but also methods to duplicate anywhere else or to adapt by combining them with other manufacturing actors, and inventing new economies.

In Scotland, we support local networks and communities to use Make Works. We raise awareness of the skills, knowledge and capability of local manufacturers, fabricators and makers to shift the perception of manufacturing, design, craft, making and repair in Scotland. We work alongside manufacturers and makers to share their work and support our local economy.

Vienna is a place where traditional craftsmanship and innovation meet. Where you find factories that seem to have fallen out of time, but also the newest technologies for prototyping.
