We run our classes for all ages, and we try to have something for everyone! From woodshop to knitting, and from electronics to pottery, join us to hone a skill or learn a new one! Our classes are designed to be accessible for all skill levels, so sign up for one today!
Our ‘Basic Classes‘ are the perfect introductory courses needed to start your next project! Each class will give you a basic understanding of the various machines and programs found at the Iowa City Fab Lab. (These classes satisfy the safety/basic training requirement and are FREE for members)
Our ‘Workshops‘ range from introductory to advanced and are meant to be a deeper dive into the various techniques, mediums, and projects! (Members receive 25% off all Workshops)
If you would like to teach classes or workshops, contact us and we can get you started!
Monthly Open Woodshop
Once a month we host an open woodshop day for anyone (member or not) to come in and use the woodshop.
If you have experience (and act safely!) you can use the tools yourself or you can have one of our experienced employees or members do it for you. Cost is a sliding scale depending on how much you need to do. (A drill for 5 mins? free. The tablesaw for a half hour? Not free.)
Check the calendar to find the next open woodshop!
We are conveniently located at:
870 S Capitol Street, Iowa City, IA 52240
The FabLab is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community where everyone gets involved! Whether you are a member or a guest we’d love you to join our funky crew!
