MAXT Makerspace in Peterborough marked a decade of operation with a 10th anniversary celebration held Friday, Jan. 8, recognizing the volunteers and community members who helped build the organization from the ground up.

Executive Director Roy Schlieben presented certificates to more than 50 volunteers who have supported MAXT since its founding, including founding members, studio managers and Repair Café volunteers.

The celebration also debuted a new gallery exhibit featuring photographs taken at MAXT over the past 10 years. Newly appointed board president Paul Tuller introduced the installation, which he created with artist and framer Jane Simpson. The display repurposes salvaged windows from the Dublin Town Hall, transforming them into frames highlighting a decade of MAXT’s Repair Café and other community programs.
