Dive Into Creativity: Summer 2026 Workshops Are Live!

The sun is shining, and the makerspace is hitting the road! Make with Sam is serving up a fresh lineup of summer sessions designed to challenge your hands and spark your mind. From tactile Fiber Arts & Sewing (like scrunchies and macramé) to botanical Desert Dreamscapes and creative Garden-to-Table cooking, we're blending craft and community all season long. Find your path as a "Chill Maker" soaking up the wellness vibes, or step up as a "Pro Maker" designing standalone mechanical clocks or drafting your own mini-magazines at our Zine Scene workshops.
