​​What is Atelier?

​​Atelier is a place where you have the freedom to explore your curiosity. We gather weekly to create things: software apps, blogs, paintings, videos, music, games, graphics, and so on.

​​at·el·ier
a workshop or studio, especially one used by an artist or designer.

​​No school work or job work allowed. Please read and adhere to our code of conduct.

​​"I don't think I'm creative enough to join."

​​Your starting point doesn't matter. The only pre-requisite is the curiosity to show up with an open mind.

​​To become creative, you need to create. This is the place to start; to be inspired and to regain our childlike pursuit for making things & sharing them.
