The Perth Artifactory is the Hackerspace/Makerspace in Perth, Western Australia. We currently occupy a large warehouse unit in Osborne Park and which is populated with tools, technology, desks and workstations.
Essentially we are a communal workshop where members who join get access to the tools and machinery in the space to make anything that they want.
We are run by volunteers (members) and currently have over 65 financial members and hundreds of regular visitors for our workshops and events.

If you would like to visit for a tour, come to one of our monthly Open Days, or to a Wednesday evening event. Before heading down check the webcams to make certain someone is there.
We are dedicated to providing a place where people of all backgrounds with an interest in technology, the arts.. etc can come together to work on projects, share ideas and socialise.
The name Artifactory is the joining of the words artifact and factory, so maybe we lost a “fact” (or two) along the way with the motto:Don’t think. Make.
