We’ve been making good progress on the expansion space buildout.  All the sheetrock is up (except one tiny corner).  Everything except the top three feet around all the pipes has been taped and mudded.  Doors are hung but temporarily removed for mudding and painting.  Electrical is moving along. 

What:  Framingham Makerspace Fiber Art Open House
When:  Wednesday evening 3/9/2022, 7:00-9:00PM
Where:  Framingham Makerspace, 28 John. H. Finley III Way, Suite 107, Framingham, MA (Saxonville Mills, Building #3, 1st floor)

Free and open to all.  Minors must be accompanied by a guardian. A face covering is required for this event.

What is fiber art?  Anything to do with yarn or fabric: sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, spinning, and much more! Come learn about our existing fiber art capabilities, how we plan to expand in the coming year, and all the kinds of cool stuff you can make with both new and old technology. 

We will demonstrate our sewing and embroidery machines. Current members can also complete a checkout to use
the equipment.

We’ll also discuss our expansion plans for next year and our new fiber art lab space, which will include a Kniterate fully automated knitting machine (like a 3D printer for fabric!); a long arm quilting machine for creating large quilts; and spinning and weaving tools.

Starting on the sheet rock.

Enclosing wall framing complete.  We’ve started on the interior wall framing.

We started the wall build today.

We plan to start building the new walls for the expansion space next weekend so watch for more updates soon.

Demolition is finished!
