What we’re about
Calling all artists, makers, crafters, woodworkers, welders, metalworkers, artisans, sewers, craft-persons, thrifters, re-users, and recyclers. Make Santa Fe is hosting a meetup group! We're looking to engage with our maker community, introduce our space to new members, and brush shoulders with existing members & those interested in making.
We'll meet at MAKE Santa Fe, a 501(c)3 non-profit community workspace where people can access tools, resources, and workshops in order to make, repair, invent or create anything they can dream. MAKE is like a gym, but with powerful tools instead of exercise equipment and skilled craftspeople instead of personal trainers. We invite you to join us and exercise your creativity.
