Port City Makerspace

Port City Makerspace is a makerspace in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It has been running since 2012, when it was first founded by a group of three graduates from Green Mountain College. Today it is a non-profit with 8000 sqft of space dedicated to wood-working, welding, electronics work, textile arts, and automotive and bicycle repair. Port City Makerspace also hosts classes in topics such as laser cutting, machine embroidery, 3D-printing, woodworking, wood turning, and sewing.

Membership
Membership at Port City Makerspace can either be a monthly membership or a pass for a day. There is no application to become a member. New members of the space do have to go through a "safety checkout" process before they are allowed to use some of the dangerous power tools.

Community participation
Members and staff of Port City Makerspaces have contributed projects to the community around Portsmouth, including the Prescott Park Green Room, a mobile trailer for performers at the Prescott Park Arts Festival.
