★★★★★Stephanie Simmons

What an amazing and beautiful space. We took our staff to the SC Makers Studio for a staff development day, where the staff set up a team building event as well as an individual creative time. The staff at the studio were so friendly and accommodating to all our needs. We had a lovely time. My staff were jealous that kids can do this everyday!

★★★★★M & S

What an incredible team and resource for local kids! David and his team went above and beyond in setting up an offsite kid crafting space at our wedding reception (at the Dream Inn hotel). They thoughtfully designed activities to keep 41 kids happy and engaged for 3 hours, including special details that went with the theme of our party. They brought to the wedding venue all of the craft supplies, tables, and other equipment needed - set it up, worked with the kids, and then cleaned up everything at the end of the evening. They were kind, professional, and responsive while we were planning, and were so good with the kids! All of our friends and family were thrilled - the Santa Cruz Maker Studios setup was truly a highlight of our wedding.

★★★★★Jill DesRosier

Outstanding venue with stellar staff. They went above and beyond to make my daughter’s 8 yr old bday party memorable. All the adults could hang out comfortably in this beautifully curated space and tinker alongside their child. They even had a full kitchen with utensils, catering trays to keep food warm. It was truly a unique experience that I haven’t found anywhere else.

★★★★★Blyth Strachman

My son said this is the best camp he's ever been to. The space is huge, beautiful, and well appointed. He loves the 3-D printing and creating things with the materials in the woodshop and sewing area. David supported my son's creativity and even printed one of his drawings on a slate coaster.

★★★★★Alina Gafarova

So happy that a creative kids’ workshop finally opened in Santa Cruz! Our daughter is currently attending their summer camp and absolutely loves it. After just one day, she came home with a whole collection of handmade jewelry she created herself. They even have 3D printers — the jewelry tree she brought home was printed there, which is such a fun touch. What’s great is that it’s not just for summer camp — they also host birthday parties and even team-building events for adults. We’ve already booked a birthday party and can’t wait for the day to come. Such a fun and inspiring space for kids and families. Highly recommend!
