Join us for a celebration of handmade and DIY October 6th, 6-11pm. We will be joined by Handmade Arcade and have handmade vendors inside and outside, diy schools, organizations that support handmade and more all over the space. This will be a super fun night of shopping, diy, activities, dj’s food & beer to really showcase some of the people, faces and places who help make handmade such a strong part of Pittsburgh. Also our LAST first Friday is our current space before we move.

Including: Handmade Aracde, Assemble, Techshop, East End Brewing, The Garden Caravan, Sinkers and Suds donut and coffee truck, Southside BBQ, Cool Beans Taco Truck, PiebIrd, Shadyside Nursery, Otto Fin, Prints by Paul, Kula Vintage, Firecracker Fabrics and many more. Vendors and partners will be added as we update this event. Modern quilt art show by the PGH Modern Quilt Guild. Activities led by Handmade Aracade, Assemble, PGHMQG and Workshop will have Pumpkin Carving and painting.

This will be a fun celebration as well as our last First Friday in our current space, before we move down the block and expand to offer maker space, expanded equipment and launch a new Maker Residency to showcase & develop makers. Workshop’s business model is based on offering fun classes to show you how to make things but also supports it’s teachers by paying a string wage of $20+ an hour, supporting them to grow thier business and be able to support themselves as they leave thier day jobs and pursue thier craft or design full time. We’re proud to be growing this with our new location.
