What IS Maker Works?

Maker Works is Ann Arbor’s largest nonprofit makerspace (AKA hackerspace, tech shop, or DIY workspace). Think of us as a “gym for tools”. Before using most large tools (saws, laser cutters, and such), take a Tool Training class specific to that machine. Afterwards, work here on your terms by becoming a member — whether that’s a day visit, a 10-visit punch pass, an individual month membership, or a larger arrangement for a team. No prior experience is ever required for classes or membership.

How to get started:

Step 1) Take a free tour!

Drop in for a free guided tour, or sign up in advance and get a 25% discount code on your first class after the tour!

Step 2) Get trained on the tools.

Take the classes that you need (membership not required) in order to safely operate our tools.

Step 3) Use our 14,000 sq ft space!

Once you’re trained on tools, you need membership in order to use them on your own.


Maker Works is here to help you bring your ideas to life.

Located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Maker Works was established in 2011 to bring a focus back to making things. Under one roof, we have:

  • a great selection of tools for wood, metal, textiles, plastic, jewelry, and electronics

    • includes industrial-grade machines like laser cutters, mills, lathes, welders, and more

  • instruction on the safe and efficient use of these tools

  • SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) for the majority of tools, written and upkept by experienced Maker Works staff

  • space to make things

  • a welcoming community of interesting, creative people making things

Maker Works is a place to actively make your future.
