Lowell Makes, Inc.

Lowell Makes Makerspace is the place to be if you are a creative in the greater Lowell area. We are a volunteer run, 501c non-profit makerspace on Western Ave. , neighbors to Western Ave Studios. Paid monthly membership gets you 24 hour access to the building and our many shops, currently ~50 a month. Most shops require a checkout for saftey purposes, that being said, we have a wood shop, machine shop, rapid prototyping with 2 wood CnC machines, 3 laser cutters, a 3d printing lab, computer lab, clubs, game nights, and so much more. The community Lowell Makes fosters is amazing; the talent and skill shown and shared between members is quite unique! Plus, Classes are run by members all year long, and any member can design and teach a class! Profit is split between the shop, the teacher,

This is an excellent maker space for those that want to explore a craft or trade but lack the space to build those skills. Makers can also run workshops to instruct nonmembers and members alike in various studies from ceramics to woodworking, leather working and cosplay development. Tools shared between mediums are available and there are spaces to unwind if need arises. So far I've taken 2 ceramics classes with Chelsi and The Pottery Mill. Chelsi is great at adjusting her teaching style to accommodate the crowd she is instructing. She is the best kind of 'hands on', helping students make their own creative decisions assisting to ensure that everyone receives equal attention. I'm also looking forward to a future workshop that offers wooden bowl turning. This is especially salient gi

What an amazing space! I became a member just over a month ago and could not be happier! There are so many shops to choose from. There really is something for everyone. I joined the ceramic shop, the equipment is spectacular and everyone has been so welcoming! Check out an open house, you won't be disappointed!!

I can't overstate how much I would not recommend this place. I paid to join and was never let into the building. I went multiple times to try and get my fob so I could get in but was refused without reason. I joined this place coming from a print shop with over 15 years experience but wasn't allowed to enter the facility unless I took a tour which only was given on a Wednesday. I work every Wednesday with no exceptions. I made my case to the owners to either give me a tour another day or to refund my money but was ghosted instead. They refused to refund my money and they wasted my time. Do not go to this place.

A great location that my Partner loves having a membership to.
