Opening of L’In[visible] Espai Maker

We are pleased to invite you to the opening of L’In[visible] Espai Maker, a new circular fashion makerspace located within the Biblioteca Camp de l’Arpa – Caterina Albert in Barcelona. Conceived as an open and collaborative environment, the space brings together neighbours, makers, students, and designers to share knowledge, experiment, and co-create.

Developed as part of the European project make-a-thek and co-designed with the local community, this initiative has been made possible through the collaboration of Fab Lab Barcelona, IAAC, Biblioteca Camp de l’Arpa and OpenDot Foundation. The space reflects a shared commitment to circular practices, local engagement, and accessible design.
