Mill City Skill Share

Doors Open 10:30am

Held annually, Mill City Skill Share is a day of entirely free community-led workshops held in Lowell, Massachusetts which actually predates the founding of our Makerspace. The event originated as a means to barter knowledge of a skill, rather than trade for their use. Each instructor offers their time and understanding of a particular skill through hands-on workshops or live demonstrations. In turn, each can benefit from the time devoted to sharing the year’s collective skillset by fellow instructors.

Preregistration for this year’s Skill Share has ended.

Walk-ins will be available, first come first serve

Mill City Skill Share is a free, community-focused event open to the public! We believe in making hands-on learning and creativity accessible to everyone, and we welcome adults and adult-supervised children to join us for a day of exploration and fun. Whether you’re looking to discover new skills or share your own expertise, there’s something for everyone!
