Taller Omnívoros is a space of productive resources endowed with professional tools to elaborate projects in a great variety of materials. It is managed by a non-profit cultural association and all the benefits generated from the use its partners make of it, reverts directly to space: maintaining it, improving it, expanding it and consolidating it.
It is intended for fields ranging from work in metal and wood, concrete, resins, mechanics, electricity, electronics, photography ... However, it is governed by the motto "workshop makes workshop" and therefore, the demand for needs drives its growth in new areas or technical improvements.
