About

 

Kollabora is a new maker community that makes crafting easier: we help you to find and create cool DIY projects.
 
Makers on Kollabora.com share projects, instructions, techniques, supplies and tools they’ve used to create, and ask and answer questions. You can browse and discover original, fashion- and design-forward projects, currently in sewing, knitting, and jewelry making. 
 
Our name comes from collaboro, the Latin word for working together. Collaborative learning FTW!
 
We think it’s about time to have a better alternative to simply buying everything. If you ever made anything, you know how good it feels: looking at it, wearing it, hearing others’ praises for it. It becomes part of you: We are what we make. 
 
We are people who are passionate about making things.
We believe that learning is the new shopping.
We share access to the best tools and resources to make things.
 
And if you’re in New York, please stop by our Kollabora Open Lab, every first Thursday  (used to be on Tuesday) of the month from 5 - 7 PM at our loft space on 39 Wooster St, 3rd floor in SoHo. The Kollabora Team and our DIY friends sit together and make stuff.
