Welcome to a brand new year at Akron Makerspace! We hope you all had fun making things for the holiday season and are ready for fun new projects in 2022.
Ceramics Lab Update
Our highly awaited Ceramics Lab is going live this month! On January 10th it will be open for experienced potters to come in to work on the two wheels available- one is a standard wheel and the other is wheelchair accessible!
We do ask that any members wishing to work in the Ceramics Lab contact its maintainer- Chloe@akronmakerspace.org to set up a time to talk about the organization of the Lab and how to keep it clean when you’re working in there.
Any AMS members who are inexperienced in pottery wheel work, but are interested in learning, are invited to reach out to Chloe at the above email to set up an hour or two of instruction time on a wheel.
See the Ceramics Lab page on our website to stay up to date on official Lab news, and check out the Ceramics Lab channel on the AMS Discord server for pottery chat, questions, and comments.
We’re so excited to add a new lab to our space!
New Donation Policy Posted
AMS is open to receiving equipment and material donations from a variety of sources. We’ve added a Donation Policy to our website to streamline the process for donors. Check it out here.
Currently we’re looking for more electric pottery wheels so we can have the resources to teach classes to more than one student at a time.
Mask Info
We know you’re tired of hearing about it, and believe us, we’re tired of talking about it. But since the COVID pandemic marches on, so does our mask policy.
Please make sure to wear your mask over your mouth and nose when you’re around others in the Space. Its so important to help keep others safe in our maker community.
KN/N95 masks are available for members in the entrance portal.
That's A Wrap!
Our magical designs at Stan Hywet Hall’s Deck the Hall holiday event were seen by over 40,000 visitors this year!
