April at Lowell Makes is all about sharing skills, connecting with the community, and making the most of the space. Our biggest event of the year, Mill City Skill Share, is happening this Saturday, April 11th. The full schedule is now live, so it’s time to plan your day, register, and get ready for a packed lineup of demos, workshops, and hands-on learning.
Around the space, there are plenty of ways to plug in. From Board Game Nights and LEGO Build Night to our Monthly Social and Members Meeting, April is full of low-key opportunities to meet other makers and spend time in the community. We’re planning another Creative Reuse trip in early May, and we’re also introducing Workshop Sundays, a new monthly meetup designed for collaboration, skill-sharing, and getting unstuck on projects. Want to give tours? Our next tour guide training is on May 6th.
In shop and committee news, we’re excited to welcome Shawn Ashe and Penny Ruby to ExCom, with Penny also stepping into a new role as Co-Captain in Rapid Prototyping. Over in FAMM, three new sewing machines are now available, giving members even more tools to work with. And Ceramics just added a new wheel!
Be sure to check out our upcoming committee meetings, classes, meetups, and community events, including a craft rave hosted by Mosaic Lowell.
