Bloominglabs animated logo

Bloominglabs is a community of makers, hackers, and DIY-ers who maintain a shared workshop, share skills, and collaborate. The space itself allows us to pursue projects we might not have the space and equipment for at home, and the members help keep it up. We also run various workshops and events to help one another and the wider community learn new skills.

Bloominglabs is open to the Public every Wednesday from 7–10PM. Come join our community and use our tools!

Visit

Show up Wednesday evening and use our space for free. All ages are welcome. You will need to fill out a liability waiver at your first visit. Under 18: a parent or guardian signs the waiver, and an adult stays with them.

When Wednesdays, 7:00–10:00 PM
