TekVenture has two large kilns running, one for bisque, one for glaze.  Our bandsaw is powerful enough to cut logs as you see in these cedar pieces.

TekVenture and the Urban Enterprise Association are excited how our missions are made for each other.

They see value in our innovative members, skills and equipment sharing,

and we see value in their clean industrial space and desire to help people get access to tools, to fix, invent, create and start businesses.

We moved in Oct. 1, 2023.

  The Mission of TekVenture is to provide an environment offering space, tools, materials and mentors, where the community can realize their creative potential, satisfy their need to make things, talk shop with other makers, explore entrepreneurial opportunitites, and connect with emerging technologies and the artisans and industries that use them.

~*~
TekVenture's Worx Areas are chock full of tools, material and equipment!

For a LOW monthly MEMBERSHIP you can use every tool in the building, getting trained by friendly volunteers on the dangerous tools.   Many members sell their works at places like Farmers' Markets.

 ClayWorx has 7 potters wheels, lots of glazes, clay, and multiple firings a week.

 

Membership includes access to all tools and equipment once you are shown how to safely operate them.

The Hot Shop has forges, anvils and tools for blacksmithing, and equipment for welding.
