What is the Makerspace?
The Makerspace is an informal setting in the Collins Memorial Library that allows Puget Sound students, faculty and staff the opportunity to make, create, collaborate, learn and share.
This takes the form of hands-on projects involving no tools to hand tools to high tech tools.
Makerspaces are defined by the makers who use them, but typically they provide the tools and space for individuals to explore, design, create, and modify physical objects in the name of art, research, or creativity.
It’s a place to develop and create something out of nothing and explore.

Katy is a 4th-year student staff member working in the Makerspace as well as the Senior Assistant at the circulation desk. She is a music composition major with a knack for visual arts. When she isn't busy in class or her many vocal ensembles, she is working on one of her countless projects whether it be a series of illustrations, a composition or her most current project, a board game. Currently, her favorite piece of equipment is the laser cutter since there are so many different ways you can use it to create art. If you need any creative solutions for a difficult project, just come in and she will be happy to help.
Audrey is a second-year Art History Major who loves all things crafty! She's happy to help whether you're a Makerspace regular or here for the first time. She'll often be found using one of our two sewing machines, Patchricia and Sewsan, or making fund trinkets on the laser cutter!
Quinn is a 2nd-year student staff member possibly majoring in Math with a minor in Art. She enjoys working with the sewing machines and the Silhouette Cutter.
Annabeth is a third year student double majoring in Communication Studies and Theatre Arts. They have dabbled in crafts of all kinds (and plan to try more!), but probably have the most experience with paper crafts and sewing projects. Of the Makerspace equipment, they are most comfortable with the sewing machines, and were most excited to learn about the 3D printer and laser cutter.
Andi is a first-year student who is still undecided on a major but thinking about art history or studio art. They are a crafty person who loves to help others. They enjoy working with the sewing machines and collage materials.

She looks forward to working with students, staff and faculty on individual or group projects, class activities and workshops. Please email makerspace@pugetsound.edu with any questions.
