Ann Arbor Makerspace Supports Skill-Sharing and Community
All Hands Active is a volunteer-run makerspace in downtown Ann Arbor dedicated to creativity, curiosity and community learning. Located in the lower level of Liberty Plaza, the space offers tools, classes and open hours for those interested in making, tinkering and experimenting.
At the heart of All Hands Active is a simple mission: make people smarter. Visitors of all ages are invited to explore everything from 3D printing and laser cutting to sewing, soldering and programming. A collaborative environment encourages skill-sharing, mentorship and hands-on discovery.
The space is home to an eclectic inventory of equipment including lathes, electronics workstations, vinyl cutters and other tools not easily accessible at home. Volunteers keep the space open multiple days each week and host regular events, workshops and build nights. Public hours and events are updated regularly on Meetup.
Whether one is learning a new hobby, working on a creative project or sharing knowledge, All Hands Active provides a welcoming hub for Ann Arbor’s DIY and tech-minded community. No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Memberships and donations support operations, and new volunteers are always welcome.
Location: 255 E. Liberty St., Basement Ste. 225, Ann Arbor. For more information, visit AllHandsActive.org.
