MacKay Family Makerspace

Create a custom puzzle while learning about the Bracebridge Library's laser cutter. You will be able to take the puzzle home with a custom-made box.

Get hands-on in this fun and rewarding Makerspace project! Start by selecting your favourite artwork: choose from vibrant flowers, cool cars, and more. Then, add your personal touch by colouring it with permanent markers.

Once your masterpiece is complete and dry, it will be laminated onto thin plywood and transformed into a puzzle using our laser cutter. You'll even watch as a custom box is created just for your finished piece!

Along the way, you'll get to explore some of the amazing tech in the Bracebridge Library's MacKay Family Makerspace, and walk away with a one-of-a-kind keepsake you'll treasure.
