The Makerspace will be a vendor at the Lakefield Farmers’ Market a number of times over the summer. Each visit we will have a collection of items for sale that have been made in the Makerspace by volunteers and staff. Proceeds support programming in the Makerspace.

Dates: Thursdays - July 24, August 14 and 28, September 11, October 9
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

During the months of July and August, we encourage families and visitors to schedule a visit to the Makerspace.

A tour around the space will inspire you to design, create, and learn a new skill. See the machines and example projects, ask questions, and register for a Makerspace card if you wish.

Open hours:
Tuesdays and Thursdays 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Wednesdays 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

Tours can be schedule by phone: 705 651-8601 or by email.

The SPL Makerspace is looking forward to resuming programs and classes in September.

Two special classes we’d like to highlight are:

• Hand Pottery, making a set of mugs, with Megan Cole in September.
• Basket Weaving with Merrilyn Lindsay in October.

More information and registration, for both programs, will be available the end of August on our website and in the September newsletter.
