Our second annual Asmbly Maker Market is right around the corner!  We've got a weekend full of live music, food, drinks, and most importantly locally created art.  From furniture to kitchenware to jewelry to decor — this market has you covered.  Artists across a variety of mediums are joining to turn Asmbly into a wonderland of unique goods perfect for the upcoming gift giving season.

This market is by far the most unique one in town, where you can buy handcrafted items directly from the artists who make them amongst the machines they used to create them.  Here's some special highlights to look for this year:

    ⏵ Make Your Own activities — create your own customized laser or sublimation items at the Asmbly booth.

    ⏵ Record Requests — have a favorite vinyl at home?  Bring it at the start of the day Saturday or Sunday while KOOP DJs will be spinning records.

    ⏵ Sunday Brunch — have brunch with us!  We'll have a spread of kolaches, pastries, and a mimosa bar with a selection of juices.

We are super excited about our two newest additions to the Asmbly Team!  Click on the pictures below to learn more about Sid and Evan.

 

Thanks to several members in the space who are already proficient in the craft, we now have a solid set of standard leatherworking machines and tools.  Several of these machines will be mounted to a new dedicated leatherwork table that includes a granite slab.  We expect to have it all fully set up by mid November.

We have a special Community Social Hour this month with burgers and hotdogs at Asmbly! If you've got something specific you want to throw on the grill, bring it! This is an alcohol free gathering, but do feel free to bring any other drinks or snacks to share. This is an open event, no membership required to attend.

Our Community Work Day is next Saturday, so we'll spend some time at this event discussing and preparing for that.

This is an especially important work day where we'll need as much help as possible in preparation for our Maker Market the following weekend.  Members, keep an eye out in your email for more details about this work day and how you can help out.

 

Additional helping hands are always welcome at our work days!  If you'd like to get to know the Asmbly community better, this is a great opportunity to do so and learn more about our organization.
