The Makers Space was jointly created by the Bridge and the famous American sculptor Douglas Borkman to be an educational experiential space that combines a focus on design, creativity and exchange. From the classroom design, to the teaching aids and core teaching materials, all elements of the space exemplify the most cutting-edge teaching philosophies. With its variety of materials and equipment, all kinds of handmade artworks can be crafted here including woodworks, ceramics, sculptures, glass blowing and casting.

Visitors entering the Makers Space, will likely note that it is an American-styled workshop full of a particular vintage industrial atmosphere and wooden-colored furnishings. Looking further around, visitors may notice the bare concrete columns and various precision metal instruments. Such an environment will guide students into the world of creation and inspire them to physically manifest their own artistic whims. Here, students can waken up from their busy city lives, fully stretch their abilities and help create an ideal form of life.
