Reviews
The Maker Team is superb! Gracious, experienced, responsive, and dedicated. Their advice and help in making resin figures for my Christmas display is way above average! The quality of the work is exceptional. Highly recommended.
The staff at The Shop are incredibly helpful and supportive. When my button making project went from fun to frustrating, the staff quickly helped me problem solve and get back on track! It's a great community of makers with high quality resources.
Such an amazing community resource! The Shop staff have been so kind and helpful, teaching me about the 3D printing process. Definitely check them out!
Truly an invaluable resource with the kindest, patient, most knowledgeable staff! The Shop holds classes to teach various skills and how to use equipment but you can also drop in during open hours and the staff is always ready to answer questions and provide support as you learn. With just a library card I am able to use the sewing machines, serger, and vinyl cutter when I bring my materials but they also have scraps if you are learning!
I feel like a kid in an artsy candy store! They have almost anything I need to experiment with new skills and ideas. And the staff is super helpful, patient, and friendly. Thank you thank you thank you!
