Maker Works is preparing to add incredible new tools and programming in 2026 while continuing to operate a safe, welcoming, and accessible shop for our community. These additions will expand people’s skills, increase technical capabilities, and support more individuals and small businesses than ever before.

We are a nonprofit makerspace in Ann Arbor that provides hands-on education, professional tools, and support for thousands of makers, entrepreneurs, students, and small businesses.
