Adult Makerspace Workshops

Every 2nd and 4th Sunday, by appointment only! See below to register. Reservations allowed up to 60 days in advance.

Want some hands-on experience with some of the library's coolest gadgets? These workshop hours offer the chance to get up close and personal with our Glowforge, 3D printer and vinyl cutter! 

The Emerging Tech Librarian and our Teen Techs will be on hand to troubleshoot and give you a quick orientation to the equipment and software, but otherwise, the time is yours to work on your own projects or simply get a feel for what these awesome machines are capable of!

There is one timeslot available per machine every other Sunday. Here are some things to consider before your appointment:

• Be sure to review the quickstart guide for the machine and software you'd like to use. 
• Browse the internet for some ideas of what project you might like to try, taking into consideration the time limits of the appointment as mentioned on the registration page for each.
• Be sure you have a USB flash drive (or cloud storage accessible on a PC) to save your files - our computers cannot save files between appointments!
• Contact the Emerging Tech Librarian at clenartz@westlinnoregon.gov if you have any questions! You won't be on your own - if you are completely new to this technology, they are here to help

This workshop is for ages 16+ only. Appointments located in The Hollow.
