About MASS Collective
An inclusive makerspace
MASS Collective provides affordable access to tools, technologies, and teachers in a variety of disciplines.
Through our apprenticeship program we subsidize memberships and offer hands-on training and real-world experience in manufacturing and prototyping.
Through our education program we recruit experts to share their experience, craft, and knowledge with anyone interested in expanding their skills or business.
Through our membership program we provide makers of all different skill sets with access to the tools, knowledge, and training to improve their craft.
We utilize production services to subsidize equipment and training that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive for individuals or small businesses to invest in.

Our story
We formed MASS Collective in 2012 to fill a specific gap for artists, makers, and artisans in Atlanta. Our small group of scrappy and resourceful founding members dreamed of a professional, functional workshop accessible to anyone.
Through late nights, weekend workdays, and a willingness to dedicate ourselves to the mission, we built MASS Collective from the ground up.

What MAtters Most
MASS Collective exists to serve a purpose greater than any one of us. This moment requires we face challenges head on with integrity and collaborate towards solutions, not in isolation.
Our aim is to build an intentional, sustainable future – one where this place and community continue to thrive.
With our hands we build, and with our hearts we connect. We lead with honesty, empathy, and collaboration understanding there is no place for perfection. We fail fast, learn faster, and step forward – together.
