Community of Makers 2025

Welcome to our Community of Makers Series. Throughout the year, we curate a seasonal selection of workshops led by local artists and makers. Each offering provides the participants with an opportunity to learn and create a truly unique item to take home. Workshops are open to all skill levels and include materials.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Amesbury Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
