teaser: "Here you will find an overview of open labs and workshops in Hamburg. There are different ways to become active in the workshops, from club memberships to day tickets. Some machines require an introductory workshop before use, other devices can also be put into operation directly.

To this end, we promote the acquisition of new technologies and manufacturing methods in the neighborhood in workshops. The focus is on the shared experience of application and the HoFaLab as a contact point for people with and without expertise.

**Focus of work in the Lab:**
The "Open Recycling Workshop" of the Insel e.V. offers access to sustainability, education and modern technology. These things should be available to ALL, because they are still often exclusive.
