Coming to Ogden, Utah

Build.
Learn.
Make.

It's like a gym — but for creative people

A community maker space where anyone can use professional tools, learn hands-on skills, and join a community of makers for less than the cost of a streaming subscription.

// What we're building

Three spaces in one

Most people can't justify a $600 table saw for one project. Or a welder. Or a laser cutter. But a whole community can share them — and share the knowledge of how to use them.

Workshop Floor

Shared professional tools across woodworking, welding, sewing, electronics, 3D printing, and fabrication. Open to all members during staffed hours.

~ 2,000 sq ft

Studio Row

Six to ten private rentable studios inside the larger building. A consistent personal space for makers and small creative businesses.

120 sq ft each

Kids' Creative Corner

An art and sensory space for kids ages 4–8 with sightlines back to the studios — so parents can work while their children create alongside them.

~ 250 sq ft

// Founding member opportunity

Be one of the first ten.

Founding members lock in $35 per month for life — a rate that will never increase as long as your membership stays active. You get a permanent founding-member number, your name on the founding wall at launch, first access to classes and studios, and your first class free.

No payment is collected today. This is a good-faith commitment that can be withdrawn any time before launch. If we don't open within 24 months, the commitment is released with no obligation.

// Legacy Workshop Program

A lifetime of craft, given a permanent home.

Some of the most valuable things in our community are sitting in basements and garages — beautiful, well-worn tools collected over a lifetime by people who truly know how to use them. Our Legacy Workshop Program offers something better than an estate sale: a living legacy.

Donor families receive free lifetime membership. Their craftsperson's name is placed permanently on the collection. And if they're able, they come in to teach and advise on their own terms. When they're gone, the craft keeps teaching.
