What is a makerspace?
A place where members can gather to work on creative projects while sharing resources, ideas and knowledge.

Check out hand and power tools for fabrication projects plus crafting supply kits for kids and adults.
Our workspace provides shared tools and equipment for people to work on their projects.

Gather with the community around the act of creativity at our social events.
Learn a new creative skill at one of our workshops or classes. From hide tanning to printmaking, sewing and beyond we highlight the diverse range of skills that exist in our community.
