Taylor Street Creative Space
We're building a community creative and maker space in the heart of Annandale. We'll be running workshops and providing resources and tools for projects covering a wide range of different hobbies and interests. From sewing, costume making, and knitting to electronics, robotics, 3D printing, and laser cutting to sticker making, toy hacking, repair, upcycling and craft, there's lots to do and learn here.
Whether you're a hobbyist, artist, engineer, student, or entrepreneur, we provide the tools, space, and community support you need to bring your creative projects to life.
In addition to our regular workshops and equipment access, we also offer private and group tutoring. This can be tailored to specific projects you're working on, or provide focused support for high school students in STEM subjects.
The space
The space has four main areas / rooms:
- Sewing & craft and workshop space: inlcudes a huge craft table, sewing machines, fabric & patterns, craft supplies and equipment.
- Digital fabrication: includes 3d printing & laser cutting, materials and tools.
- Coworking & community: includes guest PCs and desk space, project storage, printing & vinyl cutting.
- Electronics & repair: includes a fully-stocked electronics workbench and repair tools (microscopes, test equipment, spare parts).
History
Taylor Street Creative Space was founded in late 2024 by Jim Mussared, an Inner West local and father-of-three with a lifelong passion for tinkering, making, and technology.
Jim has studied computer science, physics, and mathematics, and worked in a diverse range of roles including software engineering, operations, robotics, education, and electronics. He's also passionate about teaching and sharing his knowledge and experience with others, including roles at Grok Learning and a long involvement as a tutor and lecturer with the National Computer Science School.
The space officially opened its doors in July 2025, ready to welcome hobbyists, artists, engineers, and anyone with a curious mind.
