Open Maker Hours

Mukwonago Community Library Description
Open Maker Hours days and times are for you to walk in and use the makerspace and equipment when available, on a first come first served basis if the equipment is not reserved. Feel free to come in and hang out, bring in a project to work on, make something here, use one of the tables, or just hang out and chat with us about projects and share in the creative energy!
We recommend reservations to use equipment like the laser machine, 3D printers, the Cricut, the sublimation printer and heat press, and laptops with design software like Cricut Design Space and CorelDraw.
Check out our Bookings page to reserve equipment. Any equipment that isn’t reserved for the day is first come first serve. You can book appointments by going to MetaSpace 511 Equipment Bookings
Please keep in mind that the makerspace is geared towards teens and adults. School-age students are welcome to come in and create and learn together with their adults. Anyone younger than 13 needs an adult with them the entire time. While we love seeing littles being creative in the makerspace, please know that for kids under 7 years old, we only have things like coloring sheets and LEGO bricks for them right now, and they must be supervised the entire time by their adults.
