Update:  Still planning to do this but it is delayed due to COVID situation.

Framingham MakerSpace, with the support of the mayor's office, is organizing an art project created by members of the community at large. We will be installing a field of crochet flowers in the Arlington Street Park on May 2.

Everyone is invited to participate. Make large flowers crocheted or knitted out of yarn, any colors or design. Ideally, we will use up odd lots and yarn left over from other projects. No need to buy yarn.

This is a great way to keep productive while we stay home (kids too!) and gives us all something to look forward to.

Flowers may be left at the Calahan Center, the Framingham Public Library and the McAuliffe branch as well as the MakerSpace once they are reopened.

Studios:

We have both small and larger studio spaces available for rent.  Give us a call 508-834-7855 or stop by any Wednesday evening from 7-9PM.

Storage:

We now have shelves for plastic bins for member storage. We are still working out what is included with membership and how much to charge if you need more storage.  Please use the "Contact Us" link to inquire about your specific project storage needs and we will try our best to accomodate them.

Are You interested in Teaching a class in the Makerspace?

Of course you are!

 

If you have a maker skill you would like to share, our makerspace wants to work with you. You can plan a single session training or a series which happens on a schedule (all of a vacation week, weekly, monthly, you choose). If we can host your class, we will offer the use of our space and even our equipment, where appropriate.

Our initial activities have all been built around shared interests with a mainly informal "class" structure, but we hope to develop a series of offerings that will let us serve the communities of the Metrowest area and attract new members.

Fees for classes at Framingham Makerspace are split 50:50 between the instructor and the makerspace so we can support our space and equipment maintenance costs. It is not necessary to be a member to offer classes at the makerspace.

Members of Framingham Makerspace are not required to teach courses, but we hope that the spirit of sharing skill and knowledge will result in informal mentoring so our group's skill set grows and matures with time.

Course planning should consider the target audience and the maker-skill you want to teach. Not all activities can be child-friendly, but we are very interested in encouraging youth-oriented events. Making is for EVERYONE!
