The Schantz MakerSpace was created for people who share the joy of making things, have a desire to learn or improve their skills, and wish to see the knowledge of craftsmanship survive into the future.
Classes Employees at Schantz Organ Company believe sound craftsmanship is more than just a company goal. It is a passion and a desire to create what few people can even imagine, in an environment that has encouraged this approach for over 145 years.
To keep that passion for skill and craftsmanship alive, the Schantz factory opened its doors to creative, like-minded people who now help us to encourage and teach the makers of tomorrow. Our community is filled with enthusiastic makers who want to bring their creative ideas to life, but lack the necessary tools or experience. We strive to provide educational opportunities and experiences for people who like to build, invent, tinker, and/or learn new skills.
Join us on Monday, May 16th at Wayne Center for the Arts (237 S Walnut Street, Wooster, OH 44691) from 7:00pm-9:00pm for a Maker Monday centered around fixing things. If you've ever built a machine in one of our classes (3-D Printers, CNC routers, Lights Displays, etc) and are in need of help, bring your machine and let our volunteer instructors lend a hand!

We can't think of a better way to get back in the swing of things than to get geared up for 2022 Maker Faire Wayne County! Tom Hammond will be on hand to provide a preview of the event, which will once again be held at the University of Akron Wayne College campus from 11:00am-2:00pm. In addition to Maker Faire, we will also be discussing Elliott Liggett's feature in Make Magazine, as well as a local effort to provide a 3-D Printer Lending Library available to the community. We'll see you in April!

At Schantz MakerSpace, we designed a class where students could buy CNC Router kits and, over the course of four weekend class sessions, our instructors helped them through the process of building their machines.
Learn About Our CNC Build Classes Our students have built over 100 3-D Printers and we are now rolling the program into the schools. We have completed workshops at Wooster and Northwestern schools and plan to bring the program to others in the near future.
Learn About Our 3D Printer Build Classes An Arduino is like a little computer chip that controls things like electric sensors, lights and motors. It is the ultimate tinkering tool for a maker. Most people aren’t trained in its programming capabilities to make full use out of it.
