The last few months we’ve seen a lot of physical changes around the shop. Earlier this year we converted some of the low utilization areas into studio spaces. That’s fully realized and now provides dedicated space to a few of the growing businesses like Gail of GW Stitchin Depot that are here every day.
A few weeks ago we had a massive clean-up of the front common room , conference room, and woodshop areas. Spring cleaning! Not exciting, but much needed (and still ongoing).
Last week Lindsay, Eric, and Hunter started to clear out, clean up, and put on a fresh coat of paint in our ‘conference room’ (We need a new name). As <fingers crossed> COVID continues to evolve into less and less of an issue, we plan on inviting more groups to run more workshops, demos, and talks. If you have a need for a space to do something that’s associated with making, let us know!
What we’re really excited about with this space is our upcoming Make & Takes. These are providing some great opportunities to dip your fingers into what happens here every day, with no tool experience required. Last weekend we introduced our Kumiko Panel workshop, we had a blast!
Next month we’re offering our new Bird House Make & Take, a second run of our Kumiko Make & Take, and we’ll be introducing a Most-Excellent-And-Up-Until-Now-Secret CNC Make & Take : )!
