Open Stitch tonight! 6-8pm
Bring yourself and your fiber arts project and we'll hang out and make stuff together. This is a free event, no need to RSVP.

Tomorrow we'll be at How-to Halloween!

We've been working for months and have so much cool Halloween stuff to show you! Play the new giant plinko game for candy and prizes. Meet a professional cosplayer! See a selection of festive things that you can create at Lansing Makers Network. Get a coupon for next week's Halloween makers event.

Bring the kids, it's going to be a great day!

Machine your own tombstone!

Get ready for Halloween, makerspace style. You'll design your own tombstone and use the large CNC router to make it out of foam.

Beginner Blacksmith Class this Saturday!
You don't need anything but closed-toed shoes and the ability to hold a hammer. In this J-Hook class you'll learn to heat steel in the forge, taper an end using hammer and anvil, make a curve, and punch a hole.

With these basic building block skills you can go on to make all sorts of cool things!
