Hack(er)spaces are reflections on the members.

Ours (Leighhack) is small in membership but moderately wide. We have textiles, fabrication (3d print & CNC), electronics, woodworking and infra/security in pretty constant flow. We're just finishing building a darkroom.

Yesterday was two members sewing (one dress, one stage props), one member restoring an old Mac and cutting on the CNC (me), one designing and printing a flower pot for a monitored garden. And that's what I know of.

We've just finished up a six week sewing course, and we're looking to courses on 3d design and printing and I believe woodturning.

Different hack(er)spaces have different priorities, dependant on the members and community it serves.
