Event Details

Come in and use our Glowforge and Zing cutting and engraving machines! You're welcome to drop by anytime during the session from 3:00pm-6:00 pm. Please register so that we can plan accordingly, but attendees are not required to stay for the entire session.

Glowforge requirements: Please bring any official Proofgrade materials which can be purchased from the Glowforge website or found at Joann Fabric and Craft stores. Additionally, you may bring aluminum items intended for engraving. 

Zing requirements: All wood items must be untreated or sanded to have any finishes removed. Engravings are limited to less than 12x24 inches and cuts may require return sessions. 

Limited materials are available for tests, learning and purchase for small projects. Patrons will be responsible for providing materials for larger, more complete projects. All materials must be approved by Makerspace staff--please reach out to Maker@gmail.com for more questions on what to bring and approved materials. Projects will be completed on a first come, first served basis and may be limited to accommodate other attendees.
