MakerCraft Studio - Moving forward and Classes!


Dear friends and supporters,

Although we are open, there is still work to do on the Center. We need to finish installing the appliances in the upstairs kitchen, renovate one of the bathrooms, complete the porch, and do touch-up painting -- among other things. So work continues :).

We have compiled an Amazon Wish List of things we still need. If you'd like to donate, we'd appreciate anything you have. You don't need to buy from the List. Look around your house and if you have something we can use, we'd gratefully accept it. And THANK YOU for all the donations we've already received.

Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/PXWMANGM7U10?ref_=wl_share

Please ship items to Patti's house. If you need the address, ask us.

We know that some of our supporters are not local or may not be interested in taking classes, so we are going to create a new mailing list for class updates. We'll send you a list of upcoming classes once a month.

To sign up on that list, please use this form: https://makercraft-studio.ck.page/92f47afc9e For now, we will continue to send info about classes to this bigger list.

Thank you again for all your support!

Toni, Patti, and Joe spent most of the week working long hours to finish painting and to organize the space. Gail, Rob, Cass, Patti, Cass, and Toni put in a long day Wednesday to get ready for our retreaters,...

Dear Friends and Supporters, Things are really moving along! Drywall has been installed, and painting of the first floor is almost complete. Our contractor, Eddie, and his crew stayed after finishing the drywall to help us paint the large space downstairs, while Patti, Joe, and Hanna painted the downstairs bedrooms, bathroom, and hallway. Eddie's wife Ruth is painting the trim in the main room. We think the black and white is stunning in that space, but we also love our colorful bedrooms....

Dear Friends and Supporters, We are excited to let you know that we passed our insulation inspection and drywall has begun! We don't have a lot of photos to share this time because the only visible change has been installation of drywall. Rob, Joe, and Patti first started by installing vapor barrier and then drywall went up. This week, they are taping and mudding the drywall. The addition of drywall has made a huge difference in the feel of the space -- it's getting real! Among the "hidden"...
