Events, Workshops & Classes
From hide tanning to letterpress printing, our workshops & classes span many disciplines; highlighting the range of skills in our local creative community.
Our community social events bring people together around the act of creativity.
Tool Library
A tool library is like a regular library- instead of books, members can borrow tools to support their projects.
Our tool library consists mostly of hand and power tools for fabrication projects. We also have a few "kids kits," boxes of crafting supplies for young people.

Our open source online resources aim to connect the creative community in The Flathead.
Communal Workspace
Members can use our large tables and stationary tools in good natural light to work on their projects.
We offer daytime and 24hr access to our workspace.

Add an event to our calendar!
We want our calendar to grow into a public hub for creative event listings. If you have a creative event to share, we'd probably like to promote it. Please submit your event for review!
We see the need in our community for a
"Third Space."

We would love to connect you with our community partners and help you bring a workshop, class or event to life.
