No matter if you’ve been at this for years or you’re just dipping your toes in, there’s a seat saved for you. The lineup’s as diverse as makers themselves; from painters to potters, brewers to bakers, performers to fabricators. 

As a part-time hobbyist or a full-time entrepreneur, this is where you’ll learn, be inspired, and connect with folks who get what it means to build something from scratch and pour your heart into it.

A weekend of creative inspiration, shared community, and maker business growth.
