Truckee’s Creativity is Outgrowing Our Space
We are so proud that The Truckee Roundhouse has grown to 337 members, has welcomed 8,350 class, member & community visits, and served 461 students last year— and demand keeps rising faster than we can keep up!
Our community is bursting with ideas, but every workbench, kiln, and classroom is full. With classes filling fast and waitlists growing, our space has unfortunately reached its limit.
To meet the demand for hands-on learning and creative connection, we are expanding from 4,860 sq. ft. to nearly 7,000 sq. ft. — a 44% increase in space to double ceramics capacity, add a dedicated classroom, and give more makers, students, and families room to create, learn, and thrive.
Every donation fuels the next chapter of creativity in Truckee.
Help us reach $165,000 by November 1st!

Making Space
The Truckee Roundhouse Community Makerspace has outgrown its current home. Popular classes have long waitlists, and our ceramics shop alone has over 50 people waiting to join. Our open floor plan limits our ability to run multiple programs at once. To meet this demand, we are expanding into 2,000 sq. ft. of new space—including a larger ceramics shop, a relocated and safer metal shop, a remodeled tech shop, and a new mezzanine with classroom space. This expansion will reduce waitlists, expand youth and community programs, improve safety, and open the door for new offerings like jewelry making and stained glass.
