Unique to this location are our jewelry and textile studios, along with the NextFab Gallery to showcase our members' creative works. Opened in the spring of 2020, in a spacious warehouse space in the Kensington neighborhood, boasts five times the interior space as the previous location, while still offering the tight-knit community vibes, the tools, training, and the concierge-like service that makes NextFab like none other.

This location is destined to become a creative hub for multiple businesses, the more than 30,000 square foot space allows for flexible studios, expanded departments, enhanced storage, additional programming, and more. 24- Hour Makerspace Access by Application.
