A Maker’s Space is a room dedicated to innovation and creativity. It provides access to equipment like 3D printers, soldering irons, crafting tables and sewing machines, so that users can bring their visions to life.
Realizing that their mission of providing resources to the community could go beyond books, the C. H. Booth Public Library in Newtown, CT, built a specialized “Maker’s Corner” in 2017. The staff approached us with the challenge of designing a mural that would 1) Draw attention to the new space; 2) Incorporate signage, including the library’s rooster logo; 3) Blend with the existing historical color scheme of colonial blue and beige; and 4) Illustrate the variety of creative pursuits available to makers.
We were incredibly honored to work with the library to bring their new community resource to life. The resulting mural remains one of our favorite projects, and it is an added pleasure to be able to visit the mural every time we check out a book or try out the 3D printer.
