Use our space, tools, and equipment to make your own projects and art. Go old school in the wood shop or with the leather working tools. Get artsy with stained glass, paints, and clay. Or get on board the tech train with 3D printer, laser cutter, digital design to

ols, and a plot cutter. We also have screen printing, block printing, sewing machines, and a jewelry making station. Come see for yourself what you can make. Memberships are available to get access to all the maker stations, tools, and equipment at a great value. INSPIRE
Shop an array of handmade and locally made goods and art. You'll be surprised, amazed, and inspired to see what others in our area have done and to see what you can do too. GROW
Grow your skill set by attending one of the many workshops and classes we offer. Work with instructors who are also creative community members. Learn by working alongside others in our open concept makerspace, coworking at its best. Try a more traditional class like drawing and painting or newer ones like 3D and screen printing, and more.

We're going to keep reminding you until it gets through, our classes are beginner friendly. We all know what it's like to be a beginner. It's awkward, uncomfortable, maybe scary. But also, exciting, fun, challenging and kinda cool. We want you to know, its never too late to try a new craft. And we are here with loads of great classes to get you started or back on your creative crafting journey. Take a look. We might just have the class you've been dying to try.

"Such a neat place with amazing art work and great staff. I'm not typically a crafty person but or guide Renae made us all feel at home making the stained glass succulents. I actually have a project that I'm proud to show off." Justine Singleton⁠
⁠
"A friend and I were looking for a fun new art activity to do together and ran across this place on our search. We did resin art and it was so fun and are looking forward to going back and doing other art activities there together. Just love this place. Wish I would have known about it sooner." Sarah Newcomer

"A group of friends and I did a ceramic mug class, hands down one of the best places to take a class at!" Taylynn Risener

This is the trap: you think you have to be good at art to be allowed to make it. So you wait. And wait. Meanwhile the people who seem "naturally creative" just started messier and earlier than you did. Nobody's first piece is their best; that's not the point at the start. Here's my first stained glass piece from 11 years ago. I still display it proudly. It shows where I started and how far I've come. ⁠
⁠
Permission comes first. Skill comes from doing it anyway. Save this for the next time "I'm not good enough yet" shows up. You're allowed to make bad, messy art. Just start.
