Exciting news for BlaBlaLab going into 2026! Over at BlaBlaLab, we are updating our subscription models to cultivate a more long-lasting community. With our new equipment, updated space, and increased capacity, we’ve decided to make the change to a quarterly subscription model with the intention of building trust and forming long-lasting working relationships with our community members.
Following the success of our Live Coding community, led by BlaBlaLab community member, Wilbert Vogel, we realized that the best way we can serve our audience and community is by cultivating similar relationships with new subscribers. Through a practice of radical trust and empathy, we hope to provide new opportunities for aspiring creatives by offering them the space, time, and equipment they need to fulfil their ideas. This just isn’t possible on a month-to-month subscription model, which no longer fits with our current offerings.
We invite you to see if our community is a good fit for you, with a discounted one-month trial and limited equipment access. After that, we ask you to take the step with us away from a fast-paced transactional relationship, into a more long-term collaboration. With a quarterly subscription, you will have unlimited access to equipment rentals, free attendance to all Baltan/BlaBla events, and access to the space 7-days a week.
What’s new with the space, equipment and rentals
So, what’s new in the makerspace? We’ve invested in a wide array of tech to build a unique set of resources that may otherwise be difficult to find in the city. At BlaBlaLab, you can make your dream project happen with state-of-the-art Podcast station, sound systems and mixing consoles, (video) cameras and camera lenses, 3D Scanner and much more. You can see an updated list of our current equipment here. At our space in the Natlab building, we offer two cozy offices with extra room to work. Our community table is a great space to workshop ideas or imagine collaborations with our interdisciplinary community. We’d love to share lunch with you! Our focus room offers a quieter experience, with sitting and standing desks, noise-cancelling headphones, and extra monitors.
Foundation of BlaBla
We imagine BlaBlaLab as a “dirty” space for tech-based creatives; a coworking space for designers, writers, engineers, tech enthusiasts, researchers, and anyone else searching for a community of like-minded individuals. With these changes, we hope to shift from being a makerspace, to a space for makers, a third place between work and home. We intend to be a platform for our community, and to help in facilitating their workshops, lectures, and exhibitions.
