Craftland

Overview

Boasting an impressive repertoire of vinyl cutters, leather-working tools, button makers, sewing machines and jewelry-making kits, as well as a heat press, a Brother brand CNC embroidery machine and a handful of other neat tools, Craftland is meant to be the Invention Studio’s one-stop craft shop. Users can be trained by any PI on all Craftland tools, with the exception of the embroidery machine, which requires specific trainings with a Craftland master before users may operate it. Additionally, there is a bin of scrap fabric available to choose from for learning or small projects.  For larger-scale projects, or projects requiring specific patterns, users must supply their own material.
