What we’re about
Thank you for your interest in joining SnoCo Makerspace. We are a non-profit, volunteer-run community workshop in Everett, Washington. We are an inclusive and welcoming group of makers, hobbyists, crafters, cosplayers, artists and geeks. Whether you are a seasoned fabricator or have never held a soldering iron in your hands - we welcome all skill levels and ages (children under 18 are welcome with an accompanying adult in the Blue, Purple, Orange, Green and Podcast rooms).
The best way to visit us in person is to drop in on a Maker Tuesday event, where we staff up various sections of the shop and offer up help to our members. We run a tour of the facility at 6:30pm that lasts approximately half an hour.
For more information about the space, including a list of our equipment, our house rules and code of conduct, please check out our website, at www.snocomakers.org.

Welding is an art and the only way to become good is practice. This class will teach you the basics of how to get a good weld so you can practice good techniques in the future. Some time will be spent on how to set up the machine, but most of class will be spent practicing basic welds. Note that this class will only focus on steel. Material will be provided, but if you have something you’d like to bring, please feel free.
Welding produces sparks, LOTS of sparks, so NO open toed shoes or synthetic clothes will be allowed. If you show up in Crocs/sandals or nylon/polyester, you will be asked to leave. Please wear clothes you do not care about, as you will likely leave with holes in them. You will also need a welding helmet, gloves, and a jacket or sleeves. We have a few helmets and gloves to loan out but they are not the best so its in your best interest to purchase your own. See required equipment for recommendations.
Again, you MUST register and pay here on Zeffy to secure your spot!
We look forward to seeing you - Happy Making!
