Alamance Makers Guild is a forum facilitating projects and the sharing of meaningful Maker Stories.

Makers are Extraordinarily Varied

Makers create projects using various materials with distinctive designs and diverse degrees of skill and knowledge. Projects can have artistic, practical or commercial intent. We believe all makers have one thing in common… each project is also an inspiring story.

Makers Create Project Stories

Founded in 2011 and thriving thru 2020, Alamance Makers Guild was led by our fearless founder Bennett Harris. He is now pursuing other endeavors, and we are under the leadership and vision of longtime member and supporter Nim Batchelor. We plan to continue our monthly open meetings in the form of Project Story Meetings. This is where makers gather to listen, learn and share their knowledge, ideas and projects. Everyone is welcome. Check out the calendar below for our next maker event!
