What is a Makerspace?
A makerspace is a multi-media workshop where community members can unleash their creativity using top-notch tools and equipment to bring their visions to life! We have everything you need to make anything you can imagine; we house an array of small and large-scale machines that might not fit within your home, and we provide comprehensive training to ensure their safe and effective usage. Our friendly and experienced team is readily available to offer guidance whenever needed. Plus, we offer a selection of materials for purchase, ensuring you have everything required to see your project through to completion. Join us and turn your ideas into reality!
