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.
Stay tuned! Tickets to attend Skill Share will be available soon. Please check back here.
Call for Instructors and Volunteers
Lowell Makes began hosting Skill Share in 2017 and over the time since it has grown to be an incredibly meaningful and rewarding experience for our members involved each year. Skill Share remains, and will always be, open to the public with no cost to attend; you do not need to be a member of Lowell Makes to fully participate, hold a live demonstration, or teach a hands-on workshop at the event.
If you would like to propose a Skill Share Session or are interested in Volunteering at the event, please register at the links below. We look forward to hearing from you.

As with last year, while free to attend Skill Share is a Ticketed Event.
This year’s ticket reservation form, similar to the one used for 2024’s Skill Share will be available soon for attendees to register. A portion of our event capacity will again be used for tickets given to walk-ins and visitors from Western Ave Studios.
Reservation holders may arrive 30min before the first sessions start.
Any reserved tickets left unclaimed at the start of intermission will become available on a first come first serve walk-up only basis as was also done last year. Please do not reserve tickets you are not yet sure you need; if that number does actually increase, submit a second form for the additional number needed, not the new total. Just the same, if you later come to need less than reserve please reach and inform us of the adjustment needed.
