Question 1

Is the building accessible?

Accepted Answer

There is technically level access within the two spaces that we will be using at Summerhall. However, some of the lifts require advance notice to access, and therefore is one of the reasons we ask about access requirements at booking.

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

There is street parking around Summerhall in Summerhall Square or Sciennes which is free on the weekends.

Question 3

Is food and drink provided?

Accepted Answer

We will provide complimentary tea, coffee, water biscuits and fruit. Please bring anything else you may need with you.

Question 4

What else do I need to bring?

All art materials are provided. When in the lab you will need to make sure that you are wearing clothing that covers your legs, closed toe shoes and that any long hair is tied back.  White lab coats will be provided.

Question 5

Can I see the spaces before the workshops?

Accepted Answer

If you are someone who would find benefit in visiting the spaces and meeting the facilitators prior to the workshops, we can arrange this.  Please make a note of it in the access requirements part of the booking form.

Question 6

Is it safe to work with bacteria?

We are working with bacteria classed as biosafety level 1,meaning the bacteria are considered safe and non-disease causing for healthy individuals. As such, this workshop is not suitable for severely immunocompromised people. Please discuss with us via the access needs section of the booking form.
