Inside each machine, you'll find a rotating mix of products created by local & independent artists and makers.
Supamatic is a shared ecosystem of creatives, venues and curious people - all shouting about each other.

Supamatic isn't just a machine in a corner. It's a shared ecosystem of creatives, forward thinking venues and curious people.
We're all supporting each other and spreading the word, going to each other’s spaces, and buying each other’s work. We also love to partner with hosts and venues that proudly love their communities and the creatives in it.
