About Us

Oceanside Community Makerspace has developed over

years with love, passion, and collaboration. Our volunteer-driven Creative Studio provides members with high-quality tools and materials to facilitate

artistic exploration. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to explore and express themselves through creativity.

Our Facilities
