Waterdown Branch Makerspace Update

June 2023 
 
The Waterdown Branch’s newly expanded Makerspace is now open. Digitize your memories from VHS to DVD, print large-scale promotional posters on the large format printer, or watch your 3D creations come alive with the 3D printer. Learn to sew or embroider with the sewing and embroidery machines, or design special greeting cards with the Cricut Explore 3 machine. Create cool buttons for your backpacks and lanyards using the 1.5” button maker. 
 
Browse our range of equipment for your next small business or home project. Reserve an appointment using our online form. 

A Grand Opening Week was held from July 3-7 where Staff provided demonstrations as all the Makerspace equipment was free for Members to test out.
