The Maker Hub’s Leatherworking Station isn’t just for leathersmiths! Located in the Vault, this station provides you with everything you would need for your next leather creation. You can find the tools to cut, stitch and dye leather all in one place. You can even add a special touch with the laser cutter on vegetable-tanned leather.
Check out the Maker Hub’s Wiki page for more information.
The Maker Hub exists as a resource and creative outlet for the entire George Fox community (yes, including non-engineers!). We are looking for student aces. A student ace is simply an expert on a piece of equipment who helps train other students on the usage of that equipment and gains extra privileges within the Maker Hub.
Please email makerhub@georgefox.edu if you would like to get connected or have any questions.
