3D Printing Available

3D Printers are available at the Redding Library. Due to specific calibration methods required, we do not have them on the floor. However, if you would like to submit a file to be printed with our 3D printer, you can click the button below to submit your file and we will print it for you.

We also have a Creation Station and software for modeling or editing your 3D files.

Crafting Equipment

Use crafting equipment to make anything your heart desires. Design with our Cricut smart cutting machine to personalize projects. Use our sewing machine to create all sorts of projects from scratch. Our Die-Cutter and pattern blocks can cut out a variety of paper shapes and we have a cutting mat and rotary blades to cut fabric.

Crafting Equipment
Cricut

Use the Bluetooth Cricut Maker for personalized projects like labels, stickers, bookmarks, and more! Need ideas or want to learn about crafting? Check out Cricut’s Learn Space or project ideas. We have Cricut grip mats and two cutting blades, but you’ll need to bring your own materials for any projects.

Sewing Machine

For sewing projects, the Create It! Space includes a Brother CS6000i Sewing Machine with 60 different stitches. We have some sewing needles and thread, but for specific projects we recommend having your own. Sewing needles come in different sizes and types and will degrade with use, becoming prone to breaking. Fabric, needles, thread, and other supplies can be purchased at craft stores. 

Please ask a Librarian for access to our sewing machine.

Die-Cutter

Try out the Ellison Prestige Pro Paper Die-Cutter for any of your paper projects and crafts. Take a look at our list of available Die-Cuts for ideas.

Crafting Tools

Use the Self-Healing Cutting Mat and rotary blades to cut materials for your projects. Interested in learning how to crochet or knit? We have crochet hooks and knitting needles in our Create It! Space, along with free yarn. Check out books in our collection for project ideas. You can find books about knitting in the nonfiction area in the 746.432 section, and books about crochet just a little further in the 746.434 section.
