Wild Fabrications lab | Summer 2025
Do you have a project that’s too weird for school, too wild for work, or too big for your living room? Welcome to Wild Fabrications Lab, a summer-long residency in the city centre where art, design, and technology collide. In July and August 2025, The HUB and MakerCosmos invite emerging makers to take over the Makercosmos space in Rozet to build the ideas you’ve been holding on to for too long. No deadlines. No grades. Just space, time, tools and like-minded people.
What’s in the lab?
At Makercosmos, you’ll have access to a full creative workspace, including:
Laser cutters, 3D printers & CNC machines
Textile & vinyl plotters
Piles of leftover materials & found objects
Hand tools, sewing machines, electronics, and more
You’ll work independently or in collaboration on your project, with space to experiment, fail, rebuild, remix and share.
Program Highlights
Besides full access to the lab during Rozet’s opening hours, the summer includes a Masterclass CNC Machines, A mentor session with The HUB and a public showcase/closing event to show what you’ve built and connect with others.
Who is it for?
The Wild Fabrications Lab is for all makers in the starting phase of their professional journey. You can be an educator, artist, product designer or all those things at once. To all recent graduates; feel especially invited to bridge the gap between your study and work-life here at the Wild Fabrications Lab.

March - May Arnhem School of Social Arts with Tina Lenz & Jesper Pouw
How can you, as a maker, work from your own makership and at the same time respond to issues that are playing a role in society? How do you create together with communities that are outside your own bubble? In these two Courses of 5 evenings, we will investigate this together with a professional artist. In addition, you will be provided with tools that you can use to make contact from your practice, so that you can investigate social issues in a different way.
Past Events
What the Hub?!
Every first Wednesday of the month we host our regular program at The Hub. Topics range from open calls, connection with the region to the bumps in the road of building an art practice, we come across it all.
In addition to a substantive part, there is always room for conversation and the evening ends with an act or activity.
Meet me in the Hallway
In collaboration with Culture Making Artez, we present:
Meet me in the hallway
Every third Thursday of the month an ArtEZ alumnus from Art & Design will return to the academy where their artistic practices began. For one day they can use the school, create work and interact with students. The week after the residency an artist discussion will take place at The Hub. In this conversation, two alumni will talk about their work and the residency before handing over “the keys of the hallways of ArtEZ”.
How to ZZP
In our “How to ZZP” program we will try to tackle all the difficulties that come along with being a cultural entrepreneur. We talk about hourly rates, taxes, profiling, and many more!
