MAKEbhm classes are up + runnin’

Avondale is famous for its breweries, bars, eat and more. But did you know that the area is home to a creative collaborative space called MAKEbhm?

MAKEbhm provides access to equipment and coworking studios for local artists and businesses. Recently Quake, a plus-size resale clothing shop, opened a studio at MAKE, adding to the myriad of makers stationed there.
