Staunton Makerspace

Staunton Makerspace The Makerspace is a non-profit organization focusing on innovation, collaboration, and creativity. We hope to establish a location in Downtown Staunton.

We ensure affordable tools, training, and resources are available to the community for personal growth, career advancement and entrepreneurship. "Makerspaces typically provide access to materials, tools, and technologies to allow for hands-on exploration and participatory learning. They are occasionally referred to as fablabs, hackerspaces or tech shops." -- oedb.org/ilibrarian/a-librarians-guide-

to-makerspaces/

I tend of think of MakerSpaces are modern libraries where you can get hands-on access to technology that is not widely available, such as 3D printers and Computer controlled Routers. It's also a place to get access to people with real expertise in electonics, manufacturing, art, and programming. A delightful collision of skills and expertise that could help us experiment successfully. We are working to establish (and would welcome contact from) local educational groups and organizations.

Jennifer just threw her very first bowl on the pottery wheel at the Makerspace! It’s always exciting to see new makers take that first spin and discover what they can create with a little clay and a lot of curiosity.

Way to go, Jennifer—we can’t wait to see what you make next!

Want to try your hand at pottery? Come join us at the Makerspace and give the wheel a spin!

✨ Future Makers in Action! ✨

We were thrilled to welcome JMU Industrial Design students to the Staunton Makerspace this week!

These talented students toured the shop, explored our tools, observed the CNC in action and more. Their curiosity and creativity brought so much energy to the space — a perfect reminder of why we love being a hub for innovation and learning.

A big thanks to JMU for connecting students with real-world making, and to our volunteers who helped showcase what the Makerspace is all about.

👉 Want to see what inspired them? Come visit us at 20 S. Jefferson Street, Staunton — or check out stauntonmakerspace.org.
