During the Summer Workshops, the Fab Lab integrates with specific workshops where faculty have chosen to include digital fabrication in their workshop curriculum. The Fab Lab is available to participants in workshops that explicitly integrate the lab into their instructional plans, and does not operate as an open-access makerspace. This ensures that the Fab Lab’s tools are used intentionally, aligning with each workshop’s goals for focused and meaningful engagement.
Studios
Time at Haystack is marked by long, uninterrupted days in the studio surrounded by a community that cares deeply about what it means to explore ideas and work with their hands.
Haystack maintains purpose built studios for blacksmithing, ceramics, fiber, glass, graphics, metals, and woodworking. Each of these spaces has customized equipment and flexible floor plans to accommodate a variety of processes within specific disciplines. Studios are open continuously during sessions, though for safety issues some of the equipment may not be available past certain times of day. The Fab Lab serves as a resource for digital fabrication, and complements our existing programs.
