👋 Meet the Founders

Hi! We're Andie and Ryan, the Founders of Co-Make and your future workshop friends.

Outside our day jobs in the tech industry, we've spent a few years as committed hobbyists in woodworking and sewing. We know what it's like to be inspired by a project online, only to realise you don't have the right tool, the space, or the knowledge to make it happen.

We also know the joy of making something with your hands. It's therapeutic. It connects you to yourself and to others in ways that screens never can.

Co-make exists to break down the barriers between inspiration and creation. We're inviting you to build it with us.

See you there!

🤔 Frequently asked questions

When and where are you opening?

We're aiming to open in mid-2026 in the Sutherland Shire. We're currently finalising our space and will share the exact location and opening date with everyone on our waitlist as soon as they're confirmed.

Do I need experience to join?

Not at all! Co-Make welcomes makers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced craftspeople. Our instructors are here to help you get started and grow your skills.

I'm a complete beginner. What kind of projects can I start with?

You can create real, useful items from day one! Our instructors will help you choose beginner-friendly projects that teach fundamental skills while making something you'll actually use.

Beginner woodworking projects

Beginner sewing projects

As you build confidence and skills, our instructors will help you tackle more complex projects. The goal is to start with something achievable and grow from there.

What if I don't have a project idea yet?

That's perfectly fine. Our instructors can help you find inspiration and suggest projects that match your interests and skill level.
