MakerLab 2RG
MakerLab 2RG is a multi-disciplinary communal space that encourages creative exploration of everything from electronics to knitting!
Join us and explore a few of our favourite tools including 3D printers, an Epilogue Laser Cutter/Engraver, silversmithing tools, sewing machines, lathes, soldering irons, stop motion animation programs and 3Doodlers.
Please note that ages 13 and under must be accompanied by a guardian.
*Materials given are based on drop-in fee and are at the discretion of the MakerLab Coordinator.
As we slowly get back to the swing of things, MakerLab will be broken down into hourly time slots, where people can register for spots in those time slots.
Due to limited capacity, we ask that everyone please register online for their spot and group size.
Join us online on our Facebook page or Youtube for online MakerLab projects using materials you likely have at home!
MakerLab Classes & Workshops
MakerLab Youth Immersion
This is YOUR chance to shine!
MakerLab Youth Immersion is where 15- to 20-year-olds get to work with some of the best artists in Prince George.
Every week, you’ll try something new: 3D printing, laser engraving, drum making, and MUCH more. Over the course of the school year, you will choose a project to work on, that will be featured in our “MakerLab Youth Immersion” exhibition in the gallery in September.
At least 6 spots in the program are reserved for youth who self-identify as First Nations. This program is heavily subsidised, and is available at no cost to those in financial need.
