AV Studio Introduction (2026)

Taupuni Hopuoro AV Studio at Te Kete Tuhinga Ashburton Library

Curious about booking our studio but not sure where to start? Our AV Studio Introduction is the perfect way to explore our state-of-the-art AV Studio, learn what’s possible, and discover how our software and equipment can help bring your creative ideas to life.

In this 30-minute session, you’ll sit down with a Studio Specialist who will bring the whole space to life for you. You’ll be guided through the studio and all its capabilities, introduced to the powerful software, tools, and techniques available, and have a fun, open conversation about your creative ideas - no matter how big, small, or wildly experimental they are. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to make the most of your studio time and feel confident diving into your own projects.

Whether you’re dreaming of music production, podcasting, video editing, audio engineering, or something completely different, your creativity is not just welcome - it’s encouraged!
