Open Maker 2026 invites you to a vibrant community space where creativity and innovation come alive. Whether you want to work on personal projects, repair items, or explore new technologies, this is the place to be. Held every Monday and Thursday evening, these sessions offer a relaxed, self-led environment to bring your ideas to life.
Dive into a world of making with access to tools like laser cutters, 3D printers, die cutting machines, and various electronics. These sessions encourage collaboration and knowledge sharing among peers, fostering a supportive community of makers. Whether you're an experienced creator or just curious, you'll find plenty to inspire you.
Sessions run from 18:00 to 20:00 every Monday and Thursday from February through December 2026. Participants must be 16 years or older and hold a full library membership. Booking in advance is required, along with completing a safety induction. Enclosed shoes and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) are mandatory. External tools or equipment are not permitted.
The sessions take place at The Learning Space in Rhodes, a well-equipped makerspace within the City of Canada Bay. The venue is accessible by public transport and offers a welcoming environment for community learning and prototyping. Directions and maps are available on the City of Canada Bay website.
Open Maker supports community learning and prototyping of small quantities of personal creations and operates as a non-commercial service. Photos and videos may be taken during sessions for promotional use; participants can opt out by notifying staff. For beginners or those preferring guided support, facilitator-led workshops are recommended before joining self-led sessions.
This is a free event, but booking is essential to secure your spot. To book and find more information, visit the dedicated Open Maker website. Ensure you complete the safety induction and adhere to all safety protocols to make the most of your experience.
