Spike Design is a working space for creative businesses that offers a lively culture of collaboration and community. Home to a range of designers, photographers, illustrators and journalists, it opens its doors once a month to potential residents for a day of free hot desking and networking.

Each Open Wednesday also includes a lunchtime talk on a topic related to creative or business elements of design practice. For February's Open Wednesday, artist and Spike Island studio holder Luke Jerram discusses his multidisciplinary practice that fuses art, engineering, science and innovative design. This takes place from 1 to 2pm in Spike Design.
