Spin Studio
Experimentation
In 2017 Spin moved from a conventional studio space into a bespoke studio situated in a garden. They wanted to create an environment that was inspiring and stimulating, one that felt less familiar. Alongside this move into a new space, came the desire to find more opportunities for experimentation and play in their work. Spin will be sharing some of their recent projects and give insights into the creative process and approach to work/experimentation.
The talk will be in English.
