We love doing workshops. From digital placemaking to future visioning sessions and how to use virtual reality. If it is creative and / or digital, then we want to be involved. Get in touch to design your own workshop or join one of ours.

Make your own augmented reality experience using PopupView
We teamed up with Creative England to run a free workshop series on augmented reality for Greater Manchester-based cultural organisations and freelancers starting next week 6th May for 6 weeks. This was a really good opportunity to get a better sense of how to use this technology to develop interesting and interactive experiences.
