We were honored to host the Thurston County Chambe

We were honored to host the Thurston County Chamber’s South Sound BIPOC (ssBIPOC) quarterly meeting at the MakerSpace this week. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with local BIPOC businesses and share our story with new faces. ssBIPOC plays a vital role in supporting and uplifting businesses across the region through networking, marketing, and education.

A special thank you to Marquita Himes, Industry Sector Lead, and Mayra Pena, the Thurston EDC Business Community Liaison, for their continued dedication to the BIPOC business community and for helping to coordinate such a successful event.

LMS member/artist Heidi took her first stained glass class here and is now creating her own amazing projects! For this piece, she combined traditional stained glass techniques with modern tools—using the Waterjet to cut intricate details, traditional cutting and grinding methods, and a vinyl overlay for the lettering.

Her latest project? A custom stained glass sign honoring Dave Pearsall’s incredible 38-year career in law enforcement. Congrats to Dave on his retirement, and kudos to Heidi for bringing this meaningful piece to life! #MakersAtLMS #StainedGlassArt #WaterjetCraft #Handmade

These tools can help contractors answer three important questions:
1) Which agencies buy what my firm sells?
2) How much does the government spend on my products or services?
3) Who are my competitors in the government marketplace?

At Lacey MakerSpace, we love turning creative idea

At Lacey MakerSpace, we love turning creative ideas into reality! Recently, we teamed up with Dee from "Handcrafts by Dee" to bring her vision to life—a custom jig designed to help her shape wire with precision for her stunning handcrafted jewelry.

Our amazing staff and volunteers collaborated to design 3D models and bring them to life using 3D printing. The result? A versatile tool that allows Dee to fasten different shapes to a base, making it easier to wrap wire into intricate forms before setting them in stone.

This is what the MakerSpace is all about—innovation, collaboration, and community! 💡✨
