Winter is
the Season for Making Makerplace, Library of Things provide the tools and space needed to be creative. Creating and making are what it’s all about at the Makerplace, the library’s new center for hands-on experiential learning at 112 N. Belmont Ave. Since the Makerplace opened in September, Arlington Heights residents have been discovering that the possibilities for making are endless when you have the right equipment, instructional guidance and the space to create. Looking for inspiration on what you can do at the Makerplace? Here’s a sampling:
Get cooking in the Kitchen
Holiday jam, freshly baked pies, restaurant-quality sides and more –things are cooking at the Makerplace, especially in our commercial-grade kitchen space that provides the opportunity for learning and creating all kinds of delicious treats. Earlier this fall, Arlington Heights cardholders explored the

Tracey Henkel & Friends wonderful world of canning during Jamming at the Library, the library’s first cooking class held in the Makerplace kitchen. Eager home cooks were joined by Andrea Pracht of My Kitchen Clatter and they learned about the ins-and-outs of making jams. “I used to make strawberry jam with my grandmother, but I’ve never canned anything before,” said Tracey Henkel, who had recently toured the Makerplace with her family before attending the class. “It doesn’t seem too hard, I might try it at home.” Attendees followed Pracht’s instructions on how to make holiday jam – a tasty concoction made with cranberries, oranges, strawberries and more. Culinary classes in the Makerplace Kitchen are limited to one class per month, per Arlington Heights cardholder, adults only. Arlington Heights residents can also register for monthly Makerplace Essentials classes, which are for Arlington Heights cardholders only, ages 12 and up.
5 more ways
the library can help you get creative this winter 1 Drop in and visit the Studio, our digital media lab on the first floor of the library. Digitize your old home movies, negatives, photos, slides, VHS tapes and more to hold on to your forever memories or make creative gifts using your personal images. Visit ahml.info/studio for more information.
2 Learn how to make holiday cards, design ornaments and experiment with stop motion animation. See our tech classes on pages 32-33.

Add a personal touch Wow, you made this? That’s what friends and family will be saying when you give them a gift or item personalized especially for them (or for you!) using the equipment in the Makerplace’s Fabrication Room. Laser cutters available at the Makerplace can be used to make a variety of gift items, like keychain holders or coasters — even custom barware of your favorite sports team. And the Bantam CNC Milling Machine can carve an item of your design from solid blocks of wood, plastic, aluminum, or even rubber stamp blocks. “You can customize really just about anything,” said Arlington Heights resident Sam Levenson who recently used the laser cutter to personalize a charcuterie board and some pint glasses. He purchased the Karen and Sam Levenson glasses for $1 each from the Makerplace supplies. “There’s a lot of free and easy software for designing, and it’s kind of mesmerizing to watch as your design emerges before your eyes. It’s instant gratification. In about ten to 15 minutes, it’s done and you have a useful and unique item.” Stop by anytime the Makerplace is open and staff will be glad to help you get started with any variety of projects. You can use a button maker to create your own custom buttons, the Circuit Heat Press to make iron-on shirts or custom tote bags or the Silhouette Cameo 4 Cutting Machine to make vinyl designs and shape cutouts. And if you’re looking to finally frame that family portrait or original artwork, the Logan Artist Elite Mat Cutter can be used to expertly cut a mat for a frame and give your art the final touch it needs, without the high cost of a professional frame store.

High-tech equipment that’s a cut above Makerplace equipment and technology are receiving high marks from local learners, including University of Illinois Chicago student Kasia Pilat. “I’m making [an architecture] model for my class,” said Pilat, a third-year graduate student in the University of Illinois Chicago’s architecture program. “It’s for a mobile home and it’s made out of wood and paper and different materials.” Pilat, who is an Arlington Heights resident, was using the Epilog Mini 24 machine to create model stairs for her class assignment. This laser cutter takes digital design files and uses a laser to cut or engrave many different materials including acrylic, wood, leather, cork, glass, paper and more. Twelve 3D printers are also available for creating anything from cosplay props to replacement parts for broken appliances. South Middle School student Christopher Pawlak even used a 3D printer to help create an elastic powered car, which earned him top rankings in his seventh grade science class’s Force and Furious Races. “The parts turned out great,” said Pawlak, who used the Makerplace to 3D print the front wheels for his car along with axel pieces and other small parts. “We were learning about all different forces in science class and as one of your final projects, [you have to] make a car that is powered by only rubber bands,” he continued. “We all had our cars all lined up and we all went one by one, and it was either how fast you could go or how far you could go. I got third place for speed and first place for distance.”
Christopher Pawlak
Both Pilat and Pawlak said they plan to continue using the Makerplace in the future. “I really like the Makerplace. I just found out about it a few weeks ago,” Pilat said. “They have something similar [at UIC], but it’s nice this is so close. There’s a lot of good staff here and you don’t need any previous experience.” Design computers, iMacs and PCs, for conceptualizing, designing and rendering your ideas are also available and no experience is needed, although classes that teach the basics of design are available. All equipment is available for use by the public ages 12 and up at no charge, although supplemental materials require a small fee.
