Hello folks,
We’ve been busy these past few weeks building out our space and putting together workshops for you and our members. Some have already been mentioned, but others are entirely new and exciting.

Lowell Makes is proud to announce the addition of Eeldrytch Leather Workshoppe to our family. Eeldrytch is known across the land as one of the top producers of leather goods popular at Renaissance Faires. If you have ever been to King Richard’s Faire—you have seen Eeldrytch leather.
For over 30 years, Eeldrytch Leather Workshoppe has been producing a variety of top-quality leather goods right here in Massachusetts. They are not only coming to Lowell, but they will be showing you how to make your own leather creations. Creations that you will be proud of, and will stand the test of time.
Leather isn’t just fashionable, leather was essential to the old mills that were once the backbone of Lowell. Leather belts typically helped convey power from wheels driven by the Merrimack River to the machines that made Lowell the textile capital of the world.
And now you can be part of the tradition!

MAKERS HAVE AN ANSWER FOR EVERYTHING
UPDATE: 4:56pm Water has mostly stopped & drying equipment beginning to work. Much cleanup & repair work to be done, but we are on the way back to good.
A little precursor to the following article. At some point between 1am and 8am Jan 26th water started leaking in our storage closet in the space. This was due to a pipe bursting in a nearby restaurant which closed down over a month ago.
