ABOUT US
What is a makerspace?
A Makerspace is part of a growing movement to return to making things. More creating. Less consuming. It’s a place to take classes as well as to access shared space, tools and equipment. There are as many types of makerspaces as there are makers.

What makes us different?
At The Old School Makerspace, our primary focus is on building community around more hands-on arts and crafts such as
woodworking, painting, drawing, and ceramics.
It’s a creative coworking space where people share equipment, tools, workspace, and knowledge with one another.
The Old School Makerspace is much more than a building. Principally, it is a community of people with common interests who help one another to discover creative potential, bring ideas to life, and use skills and knowledge to make a positive impact on the city of San Antonio and beyond.
