Bring your latest creations and find some new inspiration! For August’s Second Sunday, we are hosting a casual, low pressure community show and tell. This is the perfect opportunity to share the story behind your work, get feedback from fellow makers, and see the amazing variety of projects happening inside and outside the shop.

What to Expect

This is a relaxed, social meetup designed to help members connect and celebrate each other's creativity. We will gather to take turns sharing our projects in a supportive, encouraging environment. Whether you want to talk about your design process, a technique you mastered, or a stubborn problem you managed to solve, everyone is welcome!

What to Bring

  • Show and Tell Items: Bring a project you have recently finished or something you are currently working on. It can be anything from woodwork and jewelry to textiles, digital art, or electronics. (If it's too big to transport, photos or videos on your phone work great!)
  • Snacks to Share: We’ll provide some basic refreshments, but feel free to bring along a favorite treat to share if you are feeling inspired.

Who Should Join

This meetup is open to the public and makers of all stripes. If you enjoy making things and meeting creative people, you belong here! This session is all about sharing tips, finding unique materials, and seeing the amazing variety of work happening in the shop.

Important Details

  • Frequency: Meets every second Sunday of the month.
  • Cost: Free and open to the public. Donations always appreciated.
