Creativity & Mental Wellness

Feel better by making something amazing

Why Creativity Helps Us Feel Better

At Maker13, we believe creativity is a powerful tool for mental wellness. When you make something with your hands—whether it's wood, fabric, or code—you give your brain a healthy outlet to focus, calm down, and express emotions.

Making helps you:

  • Reduce stress

  • Build confidence

  • Feel more connected

  • Develop emotional resilience

What Can You Make at Maker13?

  • Woodworking

    Build with strength and precision. From hand tools to power saws to our CNC router, you’ll learn how to shape wood safely and creatively. Whether you’re crafting furniture, signs, or something totally new—woodworking gives you a solid foundation in making.

  • Textiles & Sewing

    Design with fabric and color. Use sewing machines, embroidery equipment, and hand tools to stitch your own clothing, crafts, or artwork. Great for relaxing, focusing, and expressing your personal style.

  • Metalwork

    Shape, weld, and spark creativity. Explore traditional tools alongside high-tech options like the CNC plasma cutter to cut intricate metal designs. Welding and fabrication projects teach focus, patience, and pride in strong, finished work.

  • 3D Printing & Laser Cutting

    Turn digital designs into physical objects. Learn to use our 3D printers, laser cutter, and design software to bring your ideas to life—from custom keychains to complex parts. It’s a fun intro to engineering and design thinking.

  • Coding & Electronics

    Make things move, light up, and respond. Dive into coding, circuits, and microcontrollers to build interactive projects. It’s where art, tech, and invention come together—and where students often discover their inner problem-solver.
