Show & Tell Meetup

Join us for the first SWFL Makers Guild meetup in Punta Gorda!
We’ll be meeting at The Bay Kava Cafe in Punta Gorda, Florida, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Sunday, August 23, 2026.

It has been about a year since our last gathering, and we’re excited to bring everyone together again for a casual Show & Tell. This is a chance to meet other local makers, see what people have been working on, and learn more about the different interests and skills within our community.

Have something you’ve made? Bring it along and tell us about it! Finished projects, works in progress, prototypes, experiments, repairs, and even projects that didn’t turn out as planned are all welcome.

Projects can be creative, technical, or anything in between. That might include electronics, programming, 3D printing, woodworking, metalworking, sculpting, leatherworking, sewing, cosplay, miniature painting, modelmaking, art, crafts, and much more.

A projector will be available for anyone who would like to share their screen, show photos, or look up information related to their project. Please have anything you would like to display available on a USB drive, posted somewhere publicly accessible online, or sent to the group through Discord ahead of time.

You do not need to be an expert, and you do not need to bring a project to attend. You’re welcome to come by, meet new people, ask questions, share ideas, and get inspired.

We’ll have light snacks such as chips, cookies, and other finger foods. You’re also welcome to bring a snack to share, but there’s no obligation.

SWFL Makers Guild is a community for creators, builders, tinkerers, artists, craftspeople, and anyone who enjoys learning and making things. Whether you work with code, circuits, wood, metal, fabric, clay, leather, paint, or a mix of everything, we’d love to have you join us.
