Placemaking Week 2024

PLEASE NOTE: You selected your Mobile Workshop when you registered for the conference. You cannot change your Mobile Workshop, or select one here on Sched. Specific information and instructions will be emailed in May to those signed up for each workshop.

Station North Tool Library (SNTL) is a volunteer-powered tool-lending library and community hub where neighbors can get the tools and knowledge they need to repair, maintain, and reimagine their homes. Learn about how the SNTL shapes their makerspace as a hub for empowerment, knowledge-sharing, and democratized urban repair/building. Participants will embark on a tour of the lending library and its three educational spaces (the woodshop, crafts and repair classroom, and knife shop). Special attention will be given to the many ways they have built their space to uniquely fit the community’s needs (from hand built tool organization systems to electrical demonstration walls with live outlets).
