What we’re about
We are a Central Oregon makerspace, a workshop for the people. We have a building stuffed with woodworking tools (band saw, planer, table saw, jointer, etc.) metalworking tools (welding equipment, 20 ton press, metal lathe, Bridgeport, etc.) and more. This group is one of our announcement channels for classes, events, meetups and more. We hope that you will swing on by our shop at 444 SE 9th street here in Bend, or call us at 541-388-CAVE.

In this comprehensive sewing class, you'll master the essentials of machine operation and stitching techniques. We'll start with a demonstration on threading your sewing machine, followed by a walkthrough on setting it up for straight and reverse stitches. You'll then learn the versatile zigzag and mending stitches. We’ll also cover refilling a bobbin. The class continues with a demonstration on using the buttonhole foot and stitch, and wraps up with a session focusing on the zipper foot and stitch. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this class will equip you with practical knowledge for all your sewing projects.

Discover the artistry of leather tooling in this hands-on demonstration. You'll learn how to create intricate stencils, skillfully cut shapes, and prepare your materials with precision. See the use of a swivel knife, select the perfect stamps, and learn to bring your designs to life with expert dyeing and painting techniques. We'll also cover the essential step of burnishing to give your projects a polished finish. By the end of the session, you'll walk away with an understanding of leatherworking fundamentals and the inspiration to embark on your own creative projects.
