Join NCFA board member and passionate maker Amy Putnam for the Northampton Community Making Space at 33 Hawley!

Third Saturdays of the Month from 4pm-7pm: March 20, April 17, May 15, June 19

As we continue to figure out how to be artists in this time, Amy would like to offer a space for us to make in community, while still paying attention to the care that we need to take of ourselves and others in the times of COVID 19. Please join us at 33 Hawley on the third Saturday of the month from 4-7 in Eli’s Room for community making. All experience levels are welcome.

Who is a maker? A maker is a writer, a painter, a mover, a quilter, a weaver, a poet, a photographer, a digital artist, a filmmaker, a woodworker, a stained glass artist, a performer, a musician, a potter, a philosopher, an activist - so many things that it defies definition. A maker is someone who looks around them and asks of themselves and others, “what can this idea become?” A maker is in continuous evolution.

We will each have a 6’ space. You will be provided a table, a chair or easy chair, a dedicated power strip, and a drop cloth. You will need to bring your own materials and tools. Please bring projects that are appropriate for working on in a group setting. There will be three foot aisles between each space, and masks will be required at all times.

The space will accommodate 10 people at one time. You may stay for the full three hours, or just drop in for an hour or so. In order to organize our safe attendance, please email amybputnam<at>gmail.com to sign up for a time. Please indicate your interest and the time that you would like to attend in your email.

Cost: Free - there will be a voluntary (NOT required) collection jar to help pay for the space rental

We hope you are able to join us for making in community. See you soon!
