Artisan's Asylum

Artisan’s Asylum is a non-profit organization furnishing education, tools, workspace, and community to empower dedicated fabricators, including hobbyists, artists, and early stage entrepreneurs, to create on large or small scale.

We serve the Somerville and global creative makerspace community, the arts, and the innovation economy with the goal of making the world a place where sincere, creative individuals are able give form to their ideas.

Every day a community of makers, hackers, engineers, artists, artisans, entrepreneurs, and creatives of all types come to our 40,000 square foot warehouse facility to make use of our fabrication equipment and professional design and modeling software, educational and training opportunities, and shop, studio, and storage spaces.

In addition to practicing their craft in wood, metal, jewelry, glass, screenprinting, bike mechanics, electronics, robotics, rapid prototyping, or design, members come to the Asylum to be inspired, make friends, find collaborators, grow their businesses, and learn new things.
