Support your Community Makerspace!

Gorge MakerSpace is thriving: over 100 students each week make something cool in our shop, and we have two full-time and eight part-time teachers offering exciting new classes every month. We’re working hard to become the makerspace this community needs and wants.

These goals will make us stronger, safer and healthier!

  • This past summer we launched our metal working classes and discovered that the demand is year round, but the weather is too much for our awning. We’ll outfit this space with a proper building in the Summer of 2024.

  • The number of new students is overwhelming our current staff — we want to meet this demand with well-trained, energetic staff!

  • We’ll be upgrading some of our most critical shop tools, to better meet the needs of our makers—including a bigger planer, better dust collection system, and more.

  • Our 100 year-old building is a delightful home for us and it’s time to show our love with some basic improvements that will make it safer and healthier: replacing the oil furnace with a climate-friendly heat pump, coinciding with a full inspection and upgrade of the electrical circuits.
