May 2025

This month we are creating with clay at the branches and getting ready for this summer's art-themed Summer Reading Challenge. The clay we are using is an air dry cold porcelain clay, but polymer clay will also be available to experiment with. Due to time constraints you may need to bake this clay at home or pick up your project later after it has been baked.


Watch for lots of classes and events coming to our calendar this summer. Programs for adults, kids, and a variety of maker skill levels will be hosted by multiple departments and locations.

MakerSpace Spotlight

Jewelry Making Tools


The MakerSpace has all kinds of supplies and tools available for jewelry making and repair. Make your own creations using old and broken jewelry or select from a variety of beads.


Besides our collection of beads, we have tools available to use to aid in the creation of jewelry:


  • Needle Nose Pliers
  • Crimper
  • Round Nose Pliers
  • Wire Cutters
  • Cording
  • Jump Ring Opener
  • Various jewelry findings like clasps, jump rings, and eye pins.

Contact the MakerSpace for 1-on-1 help and questions about using our jewelry supplies. Our supplies are available to use on a first come, first served basis during open make times or by appointment. A MakerSpace agreement form is not required for use of these general supplies but MakerSpace staff needs to be in the MakerSpace.

MakerSpace Story

The MakerSpace has been invaluable to me. The Space has so many different things to offer - from making 3D printed keychains to learning how to sew a button on so it will stay on, to sewing a bowl cozy, learning repeatedly how to do that first step of crochet with no comments or judgment, just encouragement to keep going. And the Silhouette - made my daughter's graduation party personalized! There are so many different things to do in the space. Cara has been nothing but supportive and excited to help when I want to attempt something new. She has infinite patience. The Space is precious! Check it out!!
