I was actually able to take a free tour here and learn about This place while on a parent Led 8th grade class graduation celebration for my oldest daughters class. Part of the celebration was to take a limo ride over to the NoCo area to take photos and selfies with the awesome public art scene. While walking around a worker From maker 13 stopped us and asked us if we wanted to come in and take a tour on This surprisingly chilly late April evening. The kids and parents all obliged and we really enjoyed the tour. The kids were very attentive and asked a lot of good questions about the program and got to witness some local artist perform their work and craft. The studio is basically a rent an office place for artists ranging from designers, computer techs, wood workers and other skills im not familiar with. They do offer summer program and things for youth to come in and work and have a space as well. While on the tour they did have some sodas and snacks for sell which all the hungry teenagers obliged in as well. Overall a very cool and unexpected trip and tour on the kids memorable and fun graduation day. I know for a fact that this tour was a highlight and memory for a lot of the parents and kids. So very cool of them to share their space and knowledge with all of us.

Three weeks ago I didn't know this place existed and now I've taken two classes there and am…read morelooking forward to returning for another. FirstBuild is owned by GE, but opens the space up to the public in the evenings and Saturday mornings. They post their upcoming classes on Facebook and on their website and signing up online is easy. Make sure to note the time and date of your class. I didn't receive any text or email reminders after the purchase confirmation. I've attended the Power Tools 101 and the Woodworking 101 classes. Prices for both were incredibly reasonable. Instructors for both were awesome. You can tell they care about the mission of helping people create and build things while using the equipment safely. Along with the power tools you can use in the co-working makerspace, there's a 3-D printer and laser cutter available. If you want to use the woodworking equipment outside of class time, you'll need to take their certification class. Everyone I met was super welcoming. Very Louisville Tool Library vibes. Highly recommend. FirstBuild is next to UofL's Belknap campus. They have designated parking spaces. I had zero issues finding spots near the door.

Bought the first unit of the Opal Ice Maker. The pump is now broken and since they sold out to GE,…read morethey no longer manufacture parts. Doesn't bode well for start up companies to no longer support customers when they are bought out by conglomerates. GE has no parts for this machine either. So I will never again by from a "start up" for that reason. Paid $500 4 years ago. So essentially I've paid 125 dollars a year for ice. Not a happy customer. Stephanie Moreland Florida

I'd only bought clay from a Ceramics Store or Michaels in the past, so a formal ceramics store was *~*InTiMiDaTiNg*~* (I'm not a real artist ya'll)!!! I'd taken some impromptu lessons in a makerspace with Wichita State University Ceramics Adjunct Prof. Susan DeWitt (and she was an invaluable & loving guide!!)-- but no critiqued or graded courses! Buckeye Ceramics Supply staff is knowledgeable, friendly (once they warm up to you ) and reliable! Susan Mahoney ( I was blessed with TWO SUE's in the god craft of Pottery) -- while she worked here was a graceful and warm representative; I love that having an account at Buckeye Ceramics helps me organize my inventory and track my firings (They call when a piece of artwork has an issue in the Kiln, or when your artwork successfully completes firing). They offer studio memberships at attractive and fair rates for a compared metro area. Seasonally they give away freebies as they clean out the glazes etc from the studio workshop/classroom. Hey Introverts! Since I've been a customer I've seen their stocking change to include small local/artisan made tools which I LOVE! For example: Dirty Girls Bats. Hopefully one day they'll have Garrity Tools, or Elan Transfers, Plum Island etc etc.. but you never know what you'll find unless you frequent! BCS is in perpetual artistic motion If you're Ceram-Curious or a Master you'd be a fool not to stop by!!! ***During Covid 19 beginnings they actively contact traced too btw. ***
