HOLLY HAMRICK
MAKERSPACE ASSISTANT
“I am lucky to have had several jobs which allowed me to utilize my creativity and craftiness. Adding the Makerspace to the list makes me feel even luckier! I’m excited to be surrounded by so many talented people and opportunities to learn something new.
BRENT SMITH
LASER TRAINER & WOODSHOP CONTENT EXPERT
“I’m really looking forward to meeting new people and sharing knowledge about both traditional woodworking as well as the new technology of laser cutting. We can’t wait to have the Makerspace be a vibrant gathering place within the community.
ANN SIEGFRIED
FIBER ARTS CONTENT EXPERT
“I really enjoyed working with a young girl and her grandma with their brand new sewing machine. The sense of awe when they walked away having made a pillow was great!
MADDY GRANT
CREATIVE ARTS CONTENT EXPERT
“I wanted to be involved in the Makerspace to give back to the community and help people realize that art isn’t just creating things, it can be cathartic. You don’t have to have formal training to create art. I want to help people in the community realize they can be an artist and have a sense of pride in what they create. I look forward to working with local creators and artists in the community.
TOM PRALLEY
STAINED GLASS CONTENT EXPERT
At the urging of a friend in 2005, Tom cut glass for the first time. That experience grew into a passion for this art form which led him to develop our first stained glass classes. Tom now offers multiple classes that will expose makers to all of the skills needed to do stained glass.
