We are a membership-based, all-volunteer, non-profit, shared community workspace for people interested in all kinds of art, technology, crafting, and making!
Root Access is a physical workspace full of tools and equipment. We have 3D printers, sewing machines, a laser cutter, electronics tools, power tools, and much, much more.
We are an all-volunteer organization that runs on memberships. Members keep the space running and are able to use all of the equipment in the space during (and often outside of) our open hours.
We are a community space. We run classes that anyone may sign up for, and we host many community events each month that are free and open to the public.
We are located in the Tower District's Van Ness Village, one block south of Fresno City College.
Our space is filled with the tools and equipment you need to bring your projects to life, and our community is filled with people that will make you feel like you belong.
Are you into tech, art, crafting, or other maker activities?
