I am looking for creative spaces with other people who do things like woodworking, welding, and other creative shop arts for my partner who is newer to the area. I am familiar with MakeHaven, but have heard mixed reviews. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Dunno what the "mixed reviews" are, but Makehaven is exceptional. Incredible facilities and people. You will do no better than that in the area.

also worth seeing East Street Arts- New Haven, primarily created by people with disabilities, but looks like opportunities for everyone.

Is makehaven the same thing as Artspace? Haven't been to a creative thing in new haven in so long...

I'm also surprised to hear anything but glowing reviews for Makehaven, it is an utterly fantastic space. I've been a member for years now, and I'm always impressed by how much they continue to add and innovate.

I joined Makehaven about a month ago and I love it! I am also new to the area and they are super welcoming.

Guardians must supervise minors the entire time. Minors, like all guests, cannot operate badged equipment, but are welcomes to be a part of the making in terms of assembly and design.
