Updates from MakerCraft Studio - June 2: We are offering classes!


Dear Supporter,

This past week, we passed an electrical and framing inspection for the first floor. Yay! So, that means it was time for insulation installation. Yesterday, Patti, Cass, Gail, and Toni (yay, girl-power!) spent the day installing insulation in the walls on the first floor rooms. We still have to do the ceiling on the first floor, but we made good progress!

This week, we'll be working on laying the floor in the downstairs kitchen and electrical work will move upstairs.

Classes!

We are thrilled to let you know that we've begun scheduling classes at MakerCraft Studio. So far, we have a beginning knitting class and some quilting classes scheduled (all in August).

  • Aug 3: All Our Hearts, beginning quilting class
  • Aug 6: Beginning Knitting
  • Aug 23: Chroma Wave quilting class
  • Aug 24: Spice Mill quilting class
  • Aug 25: Insulated, lined, lunch bag (morning or afternoon session)

You can see our classes (and register for them) on this page: https://makercraftstudio.com/classes Note that the number of spaces in each class is limited, so if you are interested, we advise signing up early! If you have trouble signing up, just reach out via email or phone (717-219-4065 - text ok).

If you want to take more than one class on the weekend of Aug 23-25, consider spending the night! We are offering the chance to save yourself time driving back and forth from home; just spend the night. You can continue working on the class project after class ends (or another project of your choice) and you'll be ready for class the next day. Details on the Classes page of our website.

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

Thank you again for all your support!

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...

Dear Friends and Supporters, We are open! We got our occupancy permit last week and had a soft opening retreat this past weekend. It went really well, and we got lots of great feedback. On Saturday, July 20, our friends the Dapper Scrappers helped us move all our furniture from storage. 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....
