Mollie Walsh -
This month, we're thrilled to recognize Kristen as our Maker of the Month—a multi-talented artist, leader, and community builder who’s made a lasting impact on our space.
From the moment Kristen joined our community, she jumped in with both feet—bringing energy, insight, and a contagious enthusiasm for making. One of her most impactful contributions, launching Maker Club, an initiative designed to build accountability and connection among makers. It’s become a powerful tool for helping members stay focused, find thier community, and most importantly—make awesome things. Kristen’s involvement doesn’t stop there. She’s been a dedicated Shop Captain, a constant presence in the stained glass area, and a true advocate for growing that space—helping it evolve from its humble beginnings on 5th Street into the vibrant, well-loved studio it is today. Whether hosting shop improvement days or sharing skills at a member events, Kristen leads with curiosity, collaboration, and care.
Beyond her community work, Kristen brings a diverse background as a ceramicist, stained glass artist, and practicing herbalist. Her artistic practice and love of craft are deeply interwoven with her community spirit, and we’ve all benefited from her unique blend of skills and perspectives.
While Kristen’s next chapter is taking her in a new direction, we know this isn’t goodbye. Her legacy here is strong, and we can’t wait to welcome her back! Thank you, Kristen, for everything you’ve brought to our makerspace. We’re cheering you on wherever you go.
