An amazing place if you’re into arts and tinkering! Xenocraft Makerspace is a non-profit and volunteer run community tool shop or tool library. On the second level, are the radio station KMKR 99.9 and CAD (computer aided design) stations. On the main level are: the reception area, laser cutters, vinyl cutter, 3D printing with four PLA printers, Art classroom/sewing room, wood shop (lathe, table saws, shaver, drill press and more) and machine shop. Outside behind the building are welding and blacksmith stations. On the basement level are classroom, jewelry station, electronics (repair), and CNC (computerized numerical control). Student discount available. Such an amazing place, Highly recommended!

The space is very organized and as clean as they can keep it. The people are super friendly and immediately offered me a tour and made me feel right at home! I'm just passing through right now, but if I come to Tucson for an extended stay I'll definitely frequent this space! It is a fully fitted workshop with everything you need from glass blowing to welding, to jewelry making, it's amazing!

Definitely a bit difficult to make use of at times as an early member with a 9-5 job. Hopefully it will get better with time and certifications for the various shops.

Great space in a vintage building by the railroad tracks. The repair cafe was a fantastic experience. Peter was able to troubleshoot a 1960s sewing machine and get it working. Awesome feeling to restore a quality machine instead of throwing it out...and replacing it with a new piece of junk.

Amazing makerspace with kind community and volunteers. They have pretty much any tools you could think of, and of great quality too. And the volunteers are incredible at walking you through a new tool with kindness and without judgement.

They have open hours for non-members every Saturday from 12-4, but if I lived in Tucson I’d absolutely be a member. The money and time saved by not needing to buy a specialized tool is well worth it!

First visit there was for the Arduino class - I learned so much! A lot of really interesting people - when I was leaving the class some people were building complicated robots that were zipping around. A creative and welcoming atmosphere, looking forward to spending more time there

Xerocraft is a local treasure! I discovered XC in 2013 and was a member of its all-volunteer staff until 2020 when the pandemic drove me out of town for a while. XC is like a pot of gold with countless classes, tools, and some of the best people I've met. It's a membership organization that also is open to the public, free of charge, during a few different periods during the week. If you are looking for a place to build just about anything (or learn how) you must check out Xerocraft!
