our diy learning library

Perhaps our favorite offering is our specialty Craft & DIY Library. It's a collection of thousands of books, patterns, zines, and how-tos covering everything we do (and so much more). Topics range from color theory and textile techniques to game design and character drawing. We’ve got color guides, stitch dictionaries, manga tutorials, vintage craft books, and modern DIY manuals to inspire your next project.

other fun things

We've got a Pacman machine, a guitar, a record player, board games, card games, a mini billiard table and many more entertainments waiting for you to try. It's like Pee-Wee's Playhouse but where you craft things instead of just watch. Today's secret word is "make."

why craftlab exists

Craftlab is more than just a place to make things. It's a community-powered hangout between home and school/work. In a small town where most places shut down early, we wanted to offer Westborough teens and adults a place open in the evenings, to create, connect, and just be.

It’s a space where tools are shared, supplies are stocked, and inspiration is passed from person to person. We believe great ideas don’t just live online... they also live in books, in conversation, in the corner of a room where someone’s figuring something out for the first time.

We aren't a corporate franchise, we are a bespoke space born in Westborough. We’re proudly local, wildly independent, and intentionally flexible. The only cookie-cutter projects we offer use actual cookie cutters in unusual ways.

Craftlab is where collective knowledge meets community joy. It’s where we pool resources, time, and creativity so anyone can try something new without a huge investment. It’s a soft space for hard days, and a colorful, welcoming place to belong.
