Winona Creators Collective Announces Location of Largest Community Makerspace in Minnesota, to Open In Late 2025

Winona, MN, July 7, 2025 – 

The Winona Creators Collective nonprofit has made significant steps towards opening a makerspace in the former Technigraph facility at 850 W 3rd.  The nearly 22,000 square foot facility is conveniently located near ReStore on the west side of town.  When it opens in late 2025, it will be the largest community makerspace in Minnesota.

The space will offer dedicated areas for woodworking, pottery, fabric arts, metals, glass, 3d printing/prototyping, a coworking space, a podcast studio, and private studio rentals. The spaces will be stocked with equipment, from common tools to specialized machinery such as CNCs, welders, laser cutters, and more. Members will get 24/7 access to all the resources, and anyone can take classes to learn new skills or techniques.

“The former Technigraph facility has more than history for Winona: it has great infrastructure we’ll be able to easily pivot from manufacturing in order to host a great makerspace,” says Collective President Mark Zocher.

Community members got a glimpse into the space at an informational table at the Winona Farmer’s Market. While kids learned the basics of conductivity playing a fruit keyboard, board members spoke with parents about how STEM and art education at the makerspace would benefit kids and parents alike. 

In addition to youth programs and skill training, entrepreneurs will be able to use the makerspace to launch a new business.  From Etsy crafters, to inventors making prototypes, to small scale manufacturing, owners can find ways to accelerate their small businesses without having to make large investments in tools.  “A makerspace in Colorado named Tinkermill spawned over thirty businesses out of their space, from artisanal earrings to camping equipment.  Winona has a strong manufacturing history, and I’m excited to see what new inventions and products can be made locally in our space,” continues Zocher.

While the nonprofit is excited about the progress being made, several things need to fall into place before it can be opened.  The organization is currently fundraising for $250k in sponsorships, grants, and donations; all to fund tools and expenses associated with preparing the space.  They are also selling “Founders Memberships” to make sure expenses can be covered when first opening.  These early memberships are limited to a hundred people and provide discounts and additional benefits to those members who committed early to the space. Businesses and individuals who are interested in sponsorship, donations, or membership should visit winonacreators.org to learn more. 

To support the space, the Winona Creators Collective is hosting a ceramics painting night at Two Fathoms Brewery where attendees can paint their own stein.  Tickets are $40 with all the proceeds going to the makerspace. Tickets are available while supplies last at winonacreators.org.

Die Temperaturen klettern, die Ventilatoren laufen unter Volllast und im Segvault ist es wieder Zeit für ein Sommerfest!

Kommt gerne vorbei, wir grillen wieder unsere mittlerweile Berühmten Smash-Burger und auch an sommerlichen Cocktails wird es nicht mangeln.
Zur Abschätzung unserer Einkaufsliste würden wir uns wie immer freuen, wenn ihr in der Liste bekannt gebt, falls ihr fix kommt. Ihr könnt aber gerne spontan vorbei kommen. Eine Anmeldung ist nicht nötig und der Eintritt ist frei.

Hinweis für unsere Homelab Enthusiasten
Aufgrund des Sommerfests wird der H.A.N.S. – Homelab & Automation Nerds Stammtisch auf Mittwoch, den 3.9. 19:00 Uhr verschoben.

Logo Veranstaltungsreihe Digitale Selbstverteidigung

Am Samstag, den 12. Juli ab 15:30 Uhr, helfen wir interessierten Teilnehmer:innen in der Inspirata, Linux auf ihrem Notebook einzurichten. Nähere Informationen zur Vorbereitung auf diese Veranstaltung findet Ihr im Blogbeitrag vom Bündnis Privatsphäre Leipzig.

Im Oktober diesen Jahres endet der Support für Windows 10.

Viele alte Computer sind (offiziell) nicht mit Windows 11 kompatibel. Aber das heißt nicht, dass diese Computer Elektroschrott sind und weggeschmissen werden müssen. Die meisten davon lassen sich mit Linux noch viele Jahre weiterbetreiben.

Das klingt vielleicht kompliziert, aber das ist es nicht! Um ein bisschen Orientierung zu bieten, wollen im Juli mit euch zusammen Linux (Debian) installieren. Genauer: am 26.07., um 14:00 Uhr.

Um teilzunehmen braucht ihr einen Computer, das Alter ist relativ egal. Wenn es kein Laptop ist, haben wir auch Bildschirme, Mäuse und Tastaturen da. Aber achtet darauf, dass ihr vorher alle eure Daten gesichert habt. Und bringt bitte das Netzteil mit. Gute Laune und Stoppersocken sind optional.

Im Sommer 2025 machen wir mit der Vortragsserie und den Themenabende eine Pause. Andere Veranstaltungen, insbesondere der wöchentliche Chaostreff finden unverändert statt.

Are you interested in 3D printing? Whether you have yet to buy your first 3D printer or already have an entire print farm, the 3D Print & Pizza Meetup is the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and share your passion. Everyone with an interest in 3D printing is welcome!

What to expect

• Show and Tell: Have you printed something cool? Feel free to bring it along to show it off or maybe ask for feedback.
• Troubleshooting: Having problems with your 3D printer? Bring it along, and maybe others can help you solve the issue. Bringing something is not mandatory, but it often starts a good conversation.
• Presentations and Workshops: Want to give a presentation or organize a workshop? The meetup offers a platform for everyone to share knowledge. Discuss with the venue in advance if you need any extra equipment.
