Erie Makes day celebrates Erie makers of all ages on Nov. 13
Erie, PA – The Erie County Public Library will host Erie Makes day on Saturday, Nov. 13. This event aims to unify makers of all ages across the county in creating and exploring their maker interests at both library locations and community partner sites. A full lineup and event registrations can be found on the Erie Makes page.
Library events are offered between 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Blasco Memorial Library, Edinboro Branch Library, and Lincoln Community Center Library. Register for available events like beach glass pendant making, pumpkin chuckin’ catapults, DIY sugar scrubs, button palooza, printmaking and more at events.erielibrary.org. All library locations will also offer a variety of take & make kits for children, teens, and adults. Kits include origami, faux terrariums, frosting decorating, straw rockets and more. Patrons may also watch “Meet the Maker” videos on the Erie Makes page.
Winners from the teen and child maker challenges will also be announced during Erie Makes. Teens were challenged with creating their own 30-second stop motion video and children ages 6-12 created to make an original creature composed entirely of approved materials.
