~~REVEAL~~
The Edge is State Library space for creativity, ideas and experimentation. There are regular programs, events, workshops, facilitated meetups and community lab times in the space on Level 1 as well as here on level 0.
The Edge basement houses the Fabrication Lab, a creative space with a host of resources for you to bring your creative visions to life. It is an open access community makerspace with equipment and tools available to anyone with a creative idea. If you have a hobby, project, assignment or an idea for a business that requires a laser cutter, soldering station, 3D printer, sewing machine or CNC Router, The Edge’s Fabrication Lab can help. You just have to be over 16, wear covered footwear and have completed the relevant safety inductions.
This platform has been developed to reflect State Library’s commitment to sharing intellectual property which has been developed with public resources, including content created at The Edge.
The Fabrication Lab is open to the Public from 12-6pm Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. we call these times Community Lab
On Thursday nights from 5:30 - 8:00 the Fabrication Lab hosts our makers meetup Hack the Evening.
