Maker Works

"Had a great time at ceramic class. This facility is incredible. So many wonderful tools and great people to help one learn."

"I went in for my first class and was blown away by the kindness and helpful folks that were working. The pair that were teaching went through everything well and assisted with every question I had with ease. With the SOPs on hand all of the useful knowledge they shared on the embroidery machine, I look forward to going back and maybe taking a few more courses so I can use all of the awesome tools they have there! I even got a number for a sewing machine company that might be able to fix my much smaller embroidery machine!"

"Maker works literally changes people's lives. I think it is an unknown vital resource to our community. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The tools are robust and in good working order. Spending your time and money there can enrich your life more than any other service you can buy in Ann arbor. If I could give it 10 stars I would. At the very least get a tour and have your mind blown."

"I love maker works. So will you (I hope & expect). Stop by to take a free tour and you will see what I mean. It's one of the most interesting places in Michigan. The breadth of different tools is astounding. Is rare to have any project that can't be done here (excluding things that require hazardous materials). The classes are fun and extremely helpful, even to people with some previous experience with the relevant tools and techniques. The instructors and staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, interesting, friendly, and welcoming. The environment and culture at maker works spreads to members and visitors alike. There are also many community groups that hold interesting meetings at maker works, in addition to community events that maker works puts on."

"I have been a member at Maker Works in Ann Arbor for a couple of years. I can usually be found in the Woodworking shop where all the tools I need are readily available, once I completed my check-out on them. It is really nice to meet other woodworkers and see what projects they're building. Anytime I need advice or assistance the helpful staff is always available. There was another shop closer to my home but for me, the extra distance was well worth the drive. If you are a Newbie or a seasoned professional, stop by and see for yourself why the choice is clear. Maker Works in Ann Arbor is staffed, ready, and a warm welcoming place for all kinds of crafts and hobbies. Come and explore for yourself."
