1. MAKEbhm
MAKEbhm envisions a creative community as one made up of people who believe in good design, original ideas and collaboration. That is something they have created in this space, where members have the chance to fulfill their creative visions.
They offer a dedicated studio or shared studio for members. Dedicated studios are great for creators who already have their own tools and just require a set apart space for their work.

They provide equipment including 3-D printers, laser cutters, sewing machines, computers and more. Classes are taught by professionals in a variety of fields here, so don’t be afraid to try something new.
