Special Makerspace Event(s):

💥 Art Cafe: Let it Rip

Led by Linda Lowery

October 29, November 21, and December 12
3 to 5 pm
Free. No need to register.

Feeling pent-up sadness, rage, confusion lately? Join me for a hands-on explosion of emotions using paint, markers, brushes, tools, and anything else you want to bring from home.

Just abandon any preconceived ideas of what creating art means. I’ll lead you through the process—your final piece will serve as a mirror of who you are in this moment.

Bring a large piece of heavy paper, wood, cardboard, canvas, whatever to work on. If you have leftover paint or battered brushes from home projects, great. Other supplies are here.

Wear old clothes. You’ll be making a mess, really letting it rip!

✨Every Week

We invite you to join us for a time of community and creativity in a space where you can participate in a wide array of art, craft and writing activities. The Shakti Makerspace is designed to be an evolving creative environment for community members.

In the Makerspace you will find equipment and supplies for a variety of expressive activities and craft projects. We will have examples and kits for seasonal projects to make from start to finish or you can use the available supplies to create something from your own imagination and interests.

There will be supplies available for you to collage, color, paint, knit, crochet, sew, art journal and more. You can also bring any of your own projects to finish up in a space of shared creative energy and support.

We hope in this way to offer something for everyone. Use the Makerspace Open Hours as a time and space to mindfully focus in a peaceful, cooperative setting. You can make something or write something or just enjoy being in the creative energy and see what emerges for you.

There is no fee to participate in Makerspace Open Hours. Join us for a few minutes. Join us for the whole time. Join us for whatever fits into your schedule. We offer this to the community as a space where we can use our hands to continue to open our hearts.

Come as you are, when you can. We look forward to creating with you.
