Makerspace for Flaxmere/Hastings
Here's my idea; a Maker Nest or Ohanga Mahi at the village (or in town), as an open space to sew/weave/build and sell products/produce. This could mean attending workshops and operating workstations in areas of interest; or working form home creating pieces that retail through the shop, and contributing a commission. This might require forming a committee, drafting an operational model (navigating healthsafety/consent), and networking partner organisations;
the Environment Centre is positive about branching, the HDC is open to planning a cultural development for the village, and nationally NZ is moving with legislative tools to fund community resource recovery facilities.
Who out there has time/interest to invest in something like this? Would our community benefit from this sort of facility? What do you think!
