The foundation has partnered with TCA as part of TCA's membership incentive. More on this fantastic opportunity to own or lease the work of Charles Surendorf AND become a member of TCA to help the ARTS in our community!

MEETUP --ALL WRITERS ARE WELCOME!--

​      

We're a grassroots, community organization, consisting of Makers, Crafters, Hackers, Teachers, Designers and Engineers. Our goal is to create a local establishment where people can bring their ideas to life. We believe we can turn makers into entrepreneurs. We are hip to the Sharing Economy.

​

There are Open Make opportunities so that you can check out what we offer, and what see you might want to make!

​

Once a year the Makers help bring the Hand Made Parade in Jamestown to life. The parade is held every October on the first Saturday, which is California ARTS Day.

​

The Maker space was located on Barretta St. in the same building as TCA's Office. BUT WE HAVE ALL MOVED! We are now downtown at the 21 N. Washington St.

​

Everyone is invited to come together to connect through the sharing of stories in a safe, supportive environment. Anything goes. Everyone has a story to tell, and we want to hear yours!

The Mother Lode Storytelling Guild was founded in 2010. We offer open telling events, workshops, house concerts, and other community storytelling events. During the COVID pandemic, the Guild pivoted to offer an array of virtual storytelling options. There's always an event coming up! Learn more: motherlodestorytellers@gmail.com
