Become a Maker at Makerspace Monthly!
Becker County 4-H is hosting a new opportunity for all young makers. Makerspace Monthly is a monthly meeting/clinic where we focus on making something. Our final Makerspace Monthly Clinic is coming up. Due to the generous support of the Lakes Area Quilt Guild we will be adding a bonus 3-day clinic to Makerspace Monthly, make a pillow case, quilted table runner, and quilted blanket at our Quilt Clinic. The 3 day quilt clinic will be June 24, 25, 26. You can register for the Photography Clinic, the Quilt Clinic, or both! Register here: https://makermonthly.4honline.com
