After your purchase, we'll email a survey to learn about the color you want to make so we're prepared for our 20 minute session. Be thinking about words that best describe your vision!

Hoping to make multiple colors? Purchase as many slots as you need!

Purchase separately. Not for combination with other products.

Interested? Just choose a time, complete your purchase, complete our survey, and show up on time.

Flying in? PDX Airport is a short drive away. Heathman Lodge is one of many local lodging options.

You're booking a specific time slot, but please arrive at least 10 minutes early and be prepared to work on your color together for the allotted 20 minutes. 20 minute time slots are back-to-back, but should be plenty of time if you come prepared to help us understand your color goal.

You're purchasing a time-limited experience. If we figure out a color you like in the allotted 20 mintues, we'll make you 1 spool at no additional charge. If we don't figure out a color together (it happens), don't be too disappointed. We'll invite you to choose a spool from our shelves at no additional charge so you don't leave empty handed!

What we expect of you (this is a manufacturing facility):

  • Complete our safety waiver
  • Stay within designated areas
  • Wear provided PPE and follow safe practices
  • Be respectful of the space and follow directions
  • Be at least 16 years old (physically, kids at heart welcome)
  • Workshop is PLA only with on hand ingredients (no outside materials/mix-ins)

There will be plenty of opportunities for photos and fun. We want you to share the experience! Don't forget to tag us!!!

*BONUS* We'll record your recipe so we can reproduce it in the future. Whether it becomes a standard product or we grow to custom produce on demand, this workshop will help us create personalized products closer to your interests. How cool is that?

So join us and make this next workshop a success!

Peace, love, and pasta,

Alex and the Proto-pasta team

Custom Filament

During the open house there was the option to make your own filament. I got this as a birthday gift for my daughter, she loved the whole process and enjoyed getting to see how the filament was extruded and made plus she now has her own custom spool of a filament color no one else does!

Awesome birthday present!

This was a birthday present from my girlfriend... have purchased ProtoPasta filament in the past and wanted to see how it was done and have a roll of my own made for me. Everyone there was terrific, I felt welcomed into the shop from the moment that I walked in! Got to see how ProtoPasta was made and the warehouse area and was able to make my own filament (a combination of black, dark blue, dark green and gold). Watched it from start to finish being made... felt like a kid in a candy store! I purchased three additional rolls that I wanted while there. For anyone that may be reading this - this is money well spent! If you have a chance to do this, DO IT! To Dustin and crew - thanks for your time and efforts! BTW - if you have the recipe for my pasta still on file, I have a name for it... "CK's Event Horizon"

We came from Texas for this awesome experience

I don't really leave reviews a lot, but this one was definitely worth writing. My husband and I loved the experience of making our custom filament colors. We made a mini-vacation around this. The colors came out so awesome and we were talking about possibly making another vacation of it for a later date. Alex and his team were super nice and helpful. He was willing to try a few combinations to see if we could get the color closer to what I was looking for. The facility was clean and it was very interesting to see the pellets turn into the string of filament. I was also impressed when I heard that the operation was ran by nine people. It was nice that they were willing to ship the other filament we picked out while we were there so we wouldn't have issues bringing it home. We also tried the Crave Grille on Alex's recommendation and I would definitely go there again if I manage to make my way back that direction. We named our colors "Akira Loves Blue" and "Rise From Flame". First things I printed them were a Benchy and a floppy disk (my sister likes to see the colors I have and it's a lot smaller.) I hope that we can make another one in the future!

So wonderful to have you join us and from so far away! The reason we have workshops is for the experience you described. Manufacturing in the USA from a variety of scratch ingredients gives us a unique opportunity to share what we do with you. Thanks for choosing to visit and spending the day with us!!! Until next time, Alex P.S. You wouldn't be the only repeat workshop attendee. It seems once isn't enough for many folks. The first time gets the wheels turning about what's pastable ;-)
