Cutting Table

The 4' x 8' cutting table is perfect for laying out and cutting your textile and paper projects. The Textiles and Paper Craft space also comes equipped with a variety of cutting tools, but also comes with a few firm rules: 

  • Fabric scissors are for cutting fabric ONLY. 
  • No using paint, markers, glue, or any other adhesives on the cutting mat. These things should be done on the work tables in the adjacent room or with ample butcher paper under your work area. 
  • Use only the force needed to get through your material. Do not gouge the cutting mat. 
  • Sewing + Embroidery Machines

    Our (2) Baby Lock Verve machines will allow you to construct your own clothes and embroider them, too! These "babies" can embroider a design up to 4"x4" and our wide range of threads will ensure you're limited only by your imagination!

    Paper, Scissors, and Glue

    Feeling crafty? We have a variety of decorative (and plain) craft paper to get you started and a broad selection of tapes and glues to help you finish the job. 

    And what scrapbook is complete without a decorative edge or two cut into fancy paper or photographs? Dress up your handmade cards and gift tags by giving them a scalloped edge. 

    Painting Supplies

    You're always welcome to bring your own supplies, but with our stock of pastel, metallic, and primary color acrylic paints (for mixing your own colors), you shouldn't have need of anything else! 

    Whether you are painting miniatures or creating custom holiday cards, we've got you covered. The craft wall boasts a variety of brush sizes, paint trays, sponge brushes, shop towels, and water tumblers for washing your brushes off.

    Paint Pens and Markers

    If you've dabbled  in calligraphy, dotting, or rock painting, you'll love these paint pens. For everything else, there's trusty old Sharpie markers. 

    Button Press

    Our latest addition to the Makerspace is a set of robust button presses.  Get creative with ink, paint, rubber stamps, or existing print materials and then use these to press your own custom buttons with your art. We currently have die moulds for pressing round buttons in 2 sizes: 1 inch and 2.25 inches.  

    Bonus:  Did you know you can use our Glowforge to make custom rubber stamps like the Sailor Bear and BU stamps shown in the photo? Ask us how!
