In our ninth year Vector Space has reached a rythm with some of our programming. While there is always opportunity for a rogue project request (hello, prosthetic swim leg), we do have some reliable events that you can set your calendar to. Check out what's happening each month at Vector Space, both for members and the public. And, don't miss our monthly First Friday events, an Open House from 5-8pm each month hosted by volunteer members providing tours and a hands-on activity free for the public.

For the 6th time in Hill City Combat Robot history Vector Space brought robot makers from far and wide to our little Lynchburg hamlet to cheer, to clash, to laugh and to cry but most importantly to leave with absolute resolve to rebuild stronger, better and more bots for next year.

Peter Simmons, a jolly fellow with a warm accent, spends days transforming wood at Vector Space. A relatively new member at two and a half years, Peter’s roots take him back to Watford, England. Now, at home in cozy little Lynchburg, Vector Space is proud to say that Simmons regularly visits to kick up a little dust, reshape some wood, and walk through the door with material that has a story tucked under his arm.

Des Black, native to Australia and regular keeper of the coals at Vector Space specializes in woodturning. Spending at least three hours in the shop every day since the age of 12, Des regularly produces signature bowls. Des also spends time enhancing the Bedford community by volunteering and sharing pieces with the Bower Center for the Arts.

Vector Space is moving! We need all the help we can get.
