A social space for individuals who want to hang out and work on their projects. Bring a project to work on, something to share with others, or come to get input and inspiration from the collective.
Do you want to hang out but you don’t have a project? Are you not sure where to start? We have some simple projects with FREE supplies so you can create your own Deely Boppers headband or sketch some ideas for a costume with inspiration from the Art Gallery’s collection.
Your project should be something you can work on with other people present and be worked on sharing table space. Come out, socialize, make friends, and connect with resources.
Anchored by SIGIL (Student Interest Group for Illustration,) the Makers’ Circle will be held on Tuesday nights leading up to Laker Con where you can enter your deely bopper and costume creations in the Laker Con Costume Contest.
