We have one spot left Traditional Craft 2025 - Make a stick chair with Don (ADVANCED WORKSHOP)! Come spend 5 days with us at the Berea Makerspace as we each build our own Welsh Stick Chair. These are early forms of solid wooden seat chairs, utilizing hand carving, and green woodworking. This is an Advanced Workshop - please come in with some experience with hand tools and hand tool woodworking already.

As always, with our traditional craft series, brought to you through a grant from the Appalachian Fund at Berea College, this is a pay what you can workshop. Furniture classes are expensive, and for good reason! But with the opportunity afforded us by our grant, and hundreds of hours of volunteer labor, we continue our mission to bring better access to tools, knowledge and workspace, to Berea and central kentucky.
Register on our calendar, bereamakerspace.org/calendar , or through the ticket link on our facebook event.

We have two classes this month that we'd love to get filled! Our traditional craft programming is Pay-What-You-Can, even if you can't, thanks to a grant from the Berea College. Signup is through our event links, or on our calendar at BereaMakerspace.org/calendar

Jeff Farmer has rescheduled his January workshop (that was cancelled due to weather) to this month on the 25th! This is a great opportunity for beginners!

We still have lots of spots open for Don Weber's Cricket Table workshop! This spans 2 weekends - Over three days, learn traditional woodworking and furniture building techniques to create your own cricket table. Hand planes, spoke shaves, jigs and joinery, as well as a lesson in wood engraving, so you can finish by putting your own design on top (Maybe some religious imagery, or a protection spell, or just a squiggly line? That's your call!).

Thank you all SO MUCH for coming down to the hamme

Thank you all SO MUCH for coming down to the hammer-in this weekend! We spent the rainy day doing demos and sharing knowledge. We weren't able to get much open hammers in, but I hope that everyone got something out the event (even if it was just lunch). We raised $210 from our iron in the hat raffle, split between the makerspace and further projects with Blacksmiths of KY.
