Ready, set, make!
ASI invites you to a gathering for makers, painters, crafters, carvers, weavers and creators. Whether you’re a pro or a weekend DIY-er, Great Makers Exchange is your chance to get a little messy, make something beautiful and connect with fellow craft enthusiasts.

From carving to painting, to pottery and weaving, craft experts from across the region will lead hands-on workshops throughout the day. For the less-crafty inclined, artists will be on-site offering demonstrations and original works to take home. Workshop and class registration will open on June 1.
