Crafts
*Make and Take Custom Gifts *

Join us at the Makerspace to create your very own customized water bottle, travel coffee mug, or cutting board using our advanced laser engraving machines and CorelDraw software. No prior experience with laser engraving is necessary!

If you have a design in mind, bring an SVG image on a flash drive. If not, you can browse the web on our computers, explore past project files, or design something unique in CorelDraw using text, shapes, and drawing tools. The possibilities are endless!

Our knowledgeable staff will be there to guide you from start to finish. With the holidays around the corner, these personalized items make fantastic gifts—but we won’t blame you if you decide to treat yourself instead!

Each session includes one coated stainless steel water bottle or travel mug, or one cutting board to engrave. Space is limited and fills up quickly, so be sure to reserve your spot today! [ https://www.auburnwa.gov/cms/One.aspx?portalId=11470638&pageId=12529856 ]
