What we’re about
We are Make·Fix·Hack, a welcoming community of crafters, makers, and hackers working to start a Makerspace in the Easthampton/Northampton area. Help us fill this missing piece in the fabric of the Valley's creative scene.
Twice a month we host hands-on skill sharing events (usually on a Tuesday evening at the Easthampton River Valley Co-op Community Room) and on the remaining Tuesdays, we have social/planning meetings, usually at New City Brewery
We are actively looking for space and are in the process of registering as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Let's create something amazing together!

Upcoming events (3)
See all- Visible Mending with Sashiko @ River Valley Co-op228 Northampton St, Easthampton, MA
MakeFixHack presents:
Visible Mending with Sashiko
This is part of a series of small workshops on visible mending methods. Keep textiles out of the waste stream and give your favorite garments a second life.
This time we'll focus Japanese style of embroidery called Sashiko!
Some materials (needles, thread, thimbles & fabric) will be available at no cost, though quantities will be limited so feel free to bring your own if you have them.
We'll have a short presentation and demonstration before everyone gets a chance to practice.
While the traditional technique would quilt the patch directly to the damaged fabric, this demonstration and project will focus on the stitch patterns by creating a small decoratively quilted patch which can be applied separately to the garment in need of mending.
What to bring:
* A favorite fabric for a patch, a mid-weight woven is best
* A project or finished repair to discuss or showConnect with us on Discord: https://discord.gg/FYnWhZGu
