Equip the Rocky Mountain Folk School Maker Space

Help us build a Maker Space where traditional skills thrive and hands-on creativity grows. Your support brings woodworking, leathercraft, silversmithing, and heritage trades to life in Grand Lake — inspiring youth, supporting local artisans and ranchers, and preserving rare crafts for generations to come.

A Space Where Craft Traditions Grow

We’re creating a community Maker Space where anyone can learn woodworking, leatherwork, silversmithing, and the trades that helped shape our region. This space will welcome beginners, hobbyists, working ranchers, and visitors seeking meaningful, hands-on creative experiences.

Your Gift Makes a Real, Lasting Impact

Every contribution, whether it funds a major piece of equipment or helps us gather the small essentials, directly supports accessible craft education in Grand Lake. Together, we can preserve heritage skills, inspire new artisans, and build a space filled with creativity and possibility.
