Bakery Blackburn

Bakery Blackburn Our clock will be unveiled at the first National Festival of Making to be held in Blackburn on the 6th and 7th of May. No previous experience will be necessary.

The Bakery is working with a group of young people to design and make a clock for the front of The Making Rooms, where creativity, technology and advanced manufacturing come together in a community facility for use by businesses, artists, inventors, students, children to design and make anything! We're very excited to be part of this amazing event! The Bakery is an innovative creative programme th

at will set up a digital design and build studio - a self-sufficient, commercial enterprise, tendering for work in the real world, staffed by bright, creative, local young people, who have been involved in its creation. It is embedded in Blackburn and Darwen's culture and tradition of ‘creativity, industriousness and graft’. Both towns have a long and rich tradition of manufacturing and making things. They have ‘an abundant history of art, skill, innovation and labour through textiles, aerospace and high achievers in the arts’. This long recognised spirit of endeavour – ‘by skill and hard work’ or ‘by art and by labour’ is currently undergoing a new resurgence. The Bakery project is motivated by design and innovation as a potential career path for young people from across Blackburn and Darwen including those who may be struggling with, or who have fallen out of mainstream education. The Bakery will develop raw talent and deliver a training programme that will, over time, give participants the practical, design and business skills that they will need to run the studio.
