In the Making: Building a Workshop
Building a Workshop with Sandy Weymouth CF ’18 and Rebekah Lord Gardiner BB ’93

Sandy Weymouth CF ’18 and Rebekah Lord Gardiner BB ’93 bring firsthand insight into the daunting—but essential—work of building and sustaining a shared shop. Founded in 2018, Shepherd & Maudsleigh Studio offers 12,000 square feet of community art space for printmaking, painting, and fiber arts, while Southshore Woodworks is a more recently converted cooperative space now welcoming woodworkers.
Live from NBSS on Thursday April 30 at 11:00 am, Sandy and Rebekah will discuss the challenges and rewards of building the collaborative spaces that keep our crafts and trades community thriving.
