2026 Mill City Skill Share

🇺🇸 · Lowell Makes · admin

Mill City Skill Share 2026 was an incredible celebration of creativity, community, and hands-on learning! On April 11th, we welcomed more than 300 participants for a full day packed with over 40 workshops, demonstrations, and drop-in experiences led by talented makers, artists, and craftspeople from across the community. With the help of dozens of dedicated volunteers, Skill Share 2026 became our biggest and most vibrant event yet. Participants explored an amazing variety of skills throughout the day, including gel plate printmaking, buttercream frosting flowers, pottery, macramé, wire bonsai, watercolor painting, and fused glass pendants. Live demonstrations featured glassblowing, woodworking techniques, 3D modeling, soap making, and more. Guests also enjoyed hands-on drop-in sessions in our Brew Shop, 3D Printing, and Rapid Prototyping areas, giving everyone a chance to experiment, create, and connect. The day wrapped up with a community raffle featuring handcrafted gifts generously donated by local makers. Attendees also enjoyed delicious sandwiches from Lou’s Deli, while the Maker’s Basket kept everyone fueled with snacks and drinks throughout the event. Special thanks to our amazing event coordinators — Carol Fournier, Dylan Lavender, and Andee Wilcott — along with the many instructors, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who helped bring Skill Share 2026 to life. We’re also grateful to Western Ave Studios for once again providing additional parking for attendees. This event continues to grow year after year because of the passion, generosity, and creativity of this incredible maker community, and we couldn’t do it without you.
