The workshop
Our workshop is located in Törökszentmiklós, Kutas Bálint Street 7. It is owned by the Törökszentmiklós Reformed Church, but we have a contract for everyday use.
The approximately 100 year old building functioned as a residential building so far. Our association started to transform the building into a workshop in 2014 on the 24th of October. We get plenty of help and offer from individuals, organizations, companies during the renovations. (Supporters) Our future plans include also the restoration of the original frontage of the house.
The opening ceremony was held on May 24, 2015. Since then we are waiting for our visitors with colorful programs and exhibitions during opening hours. By prior arrangement we can organize in the house playhouses, study groups, workshops, creators groups, camps and other artistic activities for all ages.
