It’s often said that young people are ‘digital natives’. But, when a few Warrnambool creatives started challenging that perception… they found an important gap that needed to be addressed. As teachers as well, they observed how arts and culture was being de-prioritised in tertiary education and found that while young people know how to consume technology, they weren’t being taught how to actually use technology to create something.

And that’s how One Day Studios began. This small group decided to lease a space at the old Fletcher Jones Factory building, where they could provide courses to young people, showing them how to use technology as creative tools. One Day Studios opened its doors in 2020… and then promptly shut them due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Despite the initial setback, One Day Studios is thriving as a place for mentorship and career pathways in the arts and creative industries locally and beyond.

In just five years, One Day Studios has well and truly proven that, yes, you CAN make a career as a digital creative… including right here in Warrnambool.
