Here’s a list of a few nearby makerspaces I put together in case it’s helpful to anyone who might be brainstorming. For links I put the best I could find for their policies or rules, but you can just bring up their main pages to get equipment lists, etc. (e.g. maybe you want to know if they have something to inquire on how they got it, or how they handle some safety or policy related aspect).

Great list, thanks for the research and sharing.

It has also inspired me to get information from nearby pottery studios and compare different policies. :blush::star_struck:

Much appreciated, thanks @Chris ! Core team is currently working on an overarching “Code of Conduct”, basing a bit of it off of this example: Code of Conduct | Join Our Creative Community — Create Makerspace

If you’re interested in helping, just let me know and we’ll get you permission to the doc!
