Opportunities for Young Makers
Young Makers Club
We are looking for young makers and craft curious people between the ages of 13 to 25 to join our Young Makers Club. This is a network of young people from across the country who already have a craft practice or are embarking on their craft journey. Members will be the first to know about upcoming opportunities, get to meet other like-minded people and build their craft knowledge. The Club will meet regularly online with some in-person events, as well as on Discord. Sign up here to stay in the loop. There’s no commitment… attend as many or as few as you like!
Submissions wanted!
