Ipswich Makerspace

Creative Makespace and Hackspace

The Makerspace is a Suffolk based group of like-minded makers who get together to learn, build and experiment with a huge variety of technology – modern hardware, traditional craftworks, and everything in between.

Based on Dove Street, the Ipswich Makers have all the tools you could want for almost any project, spread through several work areas for various types of crafts; a few highlights include the comprehensive soldering stations, a laser cutting bay, and a fully equipped workshop. 

The workshop includes everything from a table saw and router table, to pillar drills and bench sanders. Their gadgetry includes a CNC machine, an array of 3D printers, the laser cutter, computers to drive them, and an almost-sentient security system to watch over it all.

Member interests encompass programming, robotic and electronics, but also range through classic woodworking, costumes and props, models and sculpture, chainmail, leatherwork, sewing, papercraft and even jewellery. 

If you want to make something, you’re in the right place!
