Learn, Discover, Create, Share
The Lou Duggan Creative Studio is a home for makers and creators, a place for beginners and experts. We are a tech-filled modern makerspace, where you can start something new and try something different. Where you can be sewing, crafting, cooking, 3D printing or some other form of creation.

- Want to share your skills, interests, and enthusiasm with community members.
- Gain new skills and confidence by helping others.
