Calling all makers! Albany Made Creative Lab at our Washington Avenue Branch gives adults access to creative arts materials and digital technology. Our space supports art-entrepreneurs who are looking to empower themselves artistically and economically and build businesses around their craft. The Creative Lab provides our community members the opportunity to explore new technologies and creative techniques like 3D printing, screen printing, sewing machines, and hand tools.
