A product with the badge is just that, an original design by our team. If the product is also manufactured in Newcastle, then we list that on the product page. We make our creative works open source where possible.

As makers ourselves, we draw inspiration from a variety of creative origins such as projects, workbench tools and educational resources. We often engage the broader open source community, building upon those designs and contributing back.
