Join us for our big birthday bash!

It all began in 2012 . . .

. . . with a small group of people who envisioned a diverse community and welcoming place where people of all ages could work together to make things.  Today, Decatur Makers has grown to a membership of over 400 makers and engages in dozens of outreach activities every year!

Our 10th Anniversary Celebration is a family-friendly event designed to celebrate the creativity of Decatur Makers.

Featuring informative demonstrations, hands-on projects, live karaoke, delicious food, and Makers Market vendors—all in the name of collaboration, community, and creativity.

We can’t wait to share our passion for creating and making with our community, friends, and family!

Community Outreach

GSU MACIE recognized Decatur Makers with a "High Five" certificate for being a valued supporter of their program. This growing program, the only one of its kind in the country, is now celebrating its 5th year!
Over the past 2 years, teams of teachers have toured our makerspace community, assisted with Family Build Nights, and participated as Summer apprentices, in order to better understand and appreciate how learning through making positively impacts education.
We value this initiative and are looking forward to continuing our partnership!

What We're Making


Decatur Makers collaborates with Fused Light Studio to run a Wood & Glass class.  This two part workshop begins in our Woodshop, with Cathy guiding the class through crafting a wooden box.
 


Participants then gather at Fused Light Studio to create a glass lid for the box.  These images are from the inaugural class, who were an absolute dream.  We can't wait until the next class November 18 &19!
