Ghost Rocket Makerspace is a creative workspace where people work on their own projects and ideas.

Use everyday tools and professional equipment for woodworking, DIY building, laser cutting, 3D printing, sewing, crafting, and more.

Learn something new, continue a creative practice, get help with your idea, or come for the creative community.

We value curiosity, respect, and collaboration and we ask everyone in the shop to do the same.

Why We Exist

A lot of people have ideas they want to make real, but not everyone has the space, tools, or know-how to get started on their own. Ghost Rocket was created to remove those barriers.

Making things should feel accessible, fun, and genuinely useful, not intimidating or hard.

Our goal is to provide a place where you can show up with an idea, work at your own pace, and make steady progress with support near by when you need it.

Making comes in all shapes and sizes, and there are always different ways to make a thing.

We specifically design our shop to be multidisciplinary so that your creative mind can wander into so many more "what ifs..."

And, we know all too well that it takes a lot to go from an idea to an object.

We provide the space, tools, and support to help you bridge that gap. We can help with planning, designing, sourcing materials, and in-shop guidance.

A Studio-First Makerspace

Ghost Rocket is designed as a studio-first makerspace. That means workspace and everyday tools come first. You don't need to commit to machines or certifications just to get started.

Projects and interests evolve, and your access can evolve with them. Some people work entirely at our shared workspace. Others come for a specific machine or capability available at our Maker Stations. Either way, you can add access when you're ready.

We're designed for adults, 18+

How Ghost Rocket Makerspace Works

Ghost Rocket is a shared makerspace. You book a start time so we know when to expect you, and you’re welcome to stay and work during open hours. Access to tools and machines requires completing the appropriate Station Orientation first. Booking ahead; walk-ins welcome as space allows.

You bring the ideas, plans, and materials to turn your objects into ideas.
