Find your Resources.
Making doesn’t stop when you walk out of our doors, so we’ve collected these additional resources to help you continue on your path to making. Whether you are looking for materials or services for a new project, need a refresher on something you learned in one of our classes, want to continue learning on your own, or interested in checking out other maker spaces in town, we have the resources you need to make it happen.
The Open Works Wiki
We’ve created a centralized written guide to navigating Open Works as a resource for continued learning and reference. It includes information on shop policies, safe tool usage, our annual report, membership directory, and more!
Open Works Videos
Making in Place
In Our Making in Place series, Eastside Site Director Laura Cohen guides you through easy projects to do at home with your family using common household materials.
Open Works Digital Embroidery 1 Reference Video
Safety classes are required prior to using many Open Works shops and tools independently. We offer video refreshers for many of our safety classes on our youtube channel, but the videos are not a substitute for attending an in person safety class.
