Updates from MakerCraft Studio - July 2


Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are excited to let you know that we passed our insulation inspection and drywall has begun! We don't have a lot of photos to share this time because the only visible change has been installation of drywall. Rob, Joe, and Patti first started by installing vapor barrier and then drywall went up. This week, they are taping and mudding the drywall. The addition of drywall has made a huge difference in the feel of the space -- it's getting real!

Among the "hidden" work that's been done during the past two weeks is the completion of the electrical upgrades on the second floor and -- best of all for us workers -- the installation of air conditioning on the second floor!

We've been asked for photos of the space, but as you can see from our construction photos, we don't have any finished spaces to show you yet. However, once the drywall is finished, the flooring and painting can happen. We've scheduled the furniture to be moved in on Saturday, July 20.

If you're interested in booking a retreat, you can read about the space here: https://makercraftstudio.com/the-space/ and search availability on this page: https://makercraftstudio.com/booking/ We will be open beginning July 25th!

You can see our classes (and register for them) on this page: https://makercraftstudio.com/classes Classes will begin in August. If you have a class request, please send us a message. Note that the number of spaces in each class is limited, so if you are interested, we advise signing up early!

If you want to take more than one class on the weekend of Aug 23-25, consider spending the night! We are offering the chance to save yourself time driving back and forth from home; just spend the night. You can continue working on the class project after class ends (or another project of your choice) and you'll be ready for class the next day. Details on the Classes page of our website.

We know that some of our supporters are not local or may not be interested in taking classes, so we are going to create a new mailing list for class updates. We'll send you a list of upcoming classes once a month.

To sign up on that list, please use this form: https://makercraft-studio.ck.page/92f47afc9e Until we open, we will continue to send info about classes to this bigger list.

Thank you again for all your support!

~Patti, Cass, Rob, and Joe
