jdebellis, Author at FUSE Makerspace

Blanca joined FUSE’s instructor team last year, teaching vinyl, laser, and Adobe Illustrator workshops. Prior to that, she was a FUSE member for two years. She started LatinxSwag, a small arts-based business printing, cutting, and selling stickers from her home. When she started having trouble keeping up with increasing demand, she took FUSE’s vinyl printing workshop. This not only helped her keep up with demand, it also enable her to expand to create more designs and offer additional options, such as bumper stickers.

Next, she took FUSE’s screenprinting workshop and learned to silkscreen, design, sew, and screenprint tote bags. She also took FUSE’s woodshop class and used the space to build her own store displays.

You can find Blanca and her work around Albuquerque by following her on Instagram or purchase it online through Etsy.

My name is Fidel González, I am a local farmer and musician, I want to tell you that last year I started as a member of this great place called FUSE Makerspace. The reason I came here is because I have always wanted to produce leather bags and learn how to use laser machines. As part of the concept of sustainability, the diversification of economic income based on my own creativity is fundamental to this process. Thanks to FUSE Makerspace that possibility is being carried out. When I arrived here, last year 2023 I started by learning how to use laser machines, now my next project is to learn how to use the CNC router and continue expressing my creativity thanks to these machines. As a therapy, as a business, and as a form of expression, FUSE Makerspace is a place that provides us with the possibility of developing our creative abilities and transforming them into reality.
