Join for crafts in the Makerspace and other Arlington Public Library locations this fall for a variety of fun festive classes for all ages. The Makerspace is a place that has many creative machines designed to help you with any craft or hobby you want to embark on. Sewing machines, 3D printers, a laser cutter, embroidery machines, and a large open space to help you craft the day away. We will also be offering a series of classes at our other library locations for adults. Interested in more fun, educational and creative classes?
