While Makerspace is never *just for kids,* we know it's hard to set aside time for yourself! Every FIRST Friday of the month, Benton Makerspace will be open for Kid-Free Crafting!
Makerspace functions as an open workspace stocked with numerous tools and materials for free creative time. In other words, people can come in with only their imagination, create to their heart's content, and leave with a completed project.
During this once a month adult-only Makerspace time, patrons 18+ can enjoy some crafting time without worrying about your kid finding glitter or painting their brother! So book that babysitter and come work on that Pinterest project you've had your eye on, learn and practice a new technique, or just let your imagination lead and see what you come up with!
