The Concoctory

The Concoctory is a unique mix of one part retail shop, one part hacklab. We sell kits and supplies for makers, crafters, artists, budding electronics enthusiasts, the simply curious, and everyone in between. We host workshops and groups in our comfy cafe style space, "The Lab". Refreshments and snacks are available for purchase, the WiFi is free, and we offer use of shared tools and supplies. Check our website or meetup page for a current workshop & event schedule. Our space is located on South Broadway near Evans, surrounded by creative local shops and tasty eats. We're just south of downtown on the 0 RTD line, a few short blocks from the Evans light rail station, and biking distance to DU campus. We <3 DIY! Do-It-Yourself is not just fixing a leaky pipe or a wobbly table. DIY is repurposing an old t-shirt, planting a vegetable garden, or learning to solder a loose wire. It’s pushing those skills further through art, and finding a creative outlet in the mundane. It’s taking back the things we own; either by taking them apart, making them better, or finding a new use the manufacturer never thought of. It’s the tipping point that leads to questioning every facet of the world we live in. DIY is an ethic. The Concoctory aims to inspire and nurture that ethic in the local community.
