MAKE is on Bishop Ave. between 8th St. and 9th St.
MAKE was opened in 2005 so that people had a place to learn traditional crafts but make modern projects.This place is designed to fit everyone, from the urban professional to the busy mama…it is perfection! Not only does it have a shop filled with local designers; but also a creative studio space hosting classes, private events & open studio time. They specialize in sewing, screen printing & even body care. So, whether you venture over alone or decide to get a group of girls together, taking a class is totally worth your time. A great creative outlet, plus you leave each class session with a project!
Did I mention everything is handmade? A fan of etsy? If so, this place has your name written all over it.
Sounds so fun! I definitely need to venture over there! I love Etsy! So this would be such a fun local outlet!
If you are a fan of Project Runway and interested in learning to sew and design clothes, consider enrolling in Project Make, a multi-week class at the Make Shop. My previous sewing experience was limited and this really didn’t matter. The climax of the course was a runway show with professional models featuring our designs in the Bishop Arts District. What a blast!!
I signed up for Sewing 1 & 2 at Make, and made a handbag and a skirt. It was a lot of fun. They have tons of other classes including screen printing, which i plan on signing up for in near future.
