“I’ve had more than 50 people drop in over two class series, and many are weekly returners. I’ve built a solid community through this series and am proud to see not only the growth in technique but the artistry and confidence from participants.”

Jen Kuhnberg, program partner

“A friend sent The Foundry’s intro to sewing class to me. I signed up right away! I want to start taking apart my tee shirts and putting them back together. It’s motivated me to get back into sewing. I haven’t done it since junior high!”

Laurinda Bedingfield, community member

That’s what we’re building here at The Foundry—a space for folks to come together, to bring their whole authentic selves, and to share all of their talent, passion, and interests with other people.

Caro Karakey, artist

“At The Foundry, we allow people their rightful voice in the community. Here, people express themselves through art, music, slam poetry, fashion, and discussion and conversation on why these beacons of creativity are valued in our community.”

Flynn Anderson, maker space member

“I hope everybody feels welcome here and feels like they can come and try making stuff even if they never really thought of themselves as a creator.”

Emily Seaman, maker space and art studio member
