Founded by Doug King-Smith, the woodshed is a Sculpture Studio and Community Artspace, set in the grounds of Bowden House Community, a Grade I listed estate just outside Totnes, Devon. Here a growing collective of artists and workshop leaders share in affordable workshop and studio space to offer a diverse range of hand-made products as well as learning opportunities in a supportive creative environment. - Josef Davies-Coates

At last! FlyThe.Coop has finally got a space for you to come and co-work and collaborate with others in Manchester! It’s been over a year since Fly The Coop Limited was established as a Cooperative and it’s been difficult finding the right space. But now we have: 36-40 Edge Street in the Northern Quarter of Manchester’s City Centre! The building has been taken by MadLab who are using the ground and top floor as a HackSpace and we are going to use the first floor to offer co-working space and desks to those who want to meet other exciting people, collaborate on existing or new ideas/projects and work with a variety of people with different skills / knowledge / tools / etc! - Josef Davies-Coates

fizzPOP is a group of people with a wide range of skills and interests, bound by a common interest in tinkering with stuff to make something new. It’s a hackerspace. For some people hacking means writing computer code, for others it means soldering up some electronics. Others may be working more with cardboard and gaffa tape. What materials you work with and your abilities are less important than the sort of mentality you have. - Josef Davies-Coates

The challenge of feeding billions of people as fuel supplies fall is staggering. And yet leaders' heads remain stuck in the sand - Josef Davies-Coates
