Programs and Maker Space
Adding new things all the time! This page does showcase some current programs and Maker Spaces we have running at Xanadu. Page build in progress, so we will be adding local theater groups, Tango, and other activities and links to those that utilize the space and support Xanadu. To inquire about renting space or leasing a spot, see our Rates Page.
Resin Art
Our incredible Resin Artists, Phil Overlin and Vicki Stevens not only create and sell their work, they offer classes. They operate out of our Maker Space studio. For more information, contact LiveEdgeDesign@gmail.com.
Welding And Sculpture Art
Our massive shop hosts a full metal working area, including top-tier welders and plasma cutters. Contact@XanaduBoise.com for more information. This program is run by Billy Edney. She is a phenomenal artist with a lifetime of skill. She can teach, take commissions, and we can rent the shop for any small or large metal-working project. We also offer 3D design for those interested in Sketchup Pro. This allows for plasma and laser tables to cut designs or pieces for assembly.
Botanical Program
Xanadu has several botanical programs. We offer plant propagation and care classes, tours and talks, beneficial insect and pollinators, and garden planning and education. We are reaching out to other botanical gardens in the hopes of growing our efforts and offering Boise something larger and more amazing. Please consider helping us!
Additionally, we are moving toward plant sales and floral design. Contact@XanaduBoise.com for more details.
