knowle west media centre
KWMC - Knowle West Media Centre KWMC is an arts centre and charity and we’ve
been based in South Bristol – on the Knowle West estate – since 1996. Since
those early days, our work has centred on working collaboratively with people
from different backgrounds to develop new and creative models for achieving
positive social change – and supporting people to develop the skills and
confidence to be change-makers themselves. Our current projects include skills
training and employment opportunities for young people, supporting community
organisations across Bristol in their work, and a diverse range of creative
programmes exploring issues from housing to health. We also operate The Factory,
an award-winning making and training space based at Filwood Green Business Park.
The Factory provides access to new digital manufacturing technologies (such as
CNC routers and laser cutters), offers product design and prototyping services
for clients, and delivers a range of free training courses.
