Hi Makery Friends!

We want to ensure our members and students feel safe and comfortable while creating at The Makery. During the Town of Wake Forest’s Friday Night on White events, we have made the difficult decision to close to the general public at 5:00 PM.

All scheduled classes, members, and registered students are welcome as usual. While our doors will be locked, we are happy to welcome you into your creative respite for the evening. We will do our best to keep parking available in our private lot so you can safely arrive and enjoy your time at the studio.

Doors will open 15 minutes before each class and will be locked once class begins. If you arrive after the doors are locked, simply knock. No secret password required (although bonus points if you have one)! We know who you are, and we’ll be happy to let you in.

We can’t wait to create with you during Friday Night on White. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep The Makery a welcoming and safe place for our creative community.

It’s the perfect day for a little stroll to To find hair for our pot head. He looks kinda cute. What do you think? He is going to need a name. Any suggestions??

Find More Time to Create This Summer ☀️

Hi Makery Members, As summer settles in, I wanted to take a moment to share a few updates and invite you to spend more time creating with us this season. Summer can get busy quickly, but I hope you’ll carve out space to slow down, make art, and gather with our creative community.

Calling All Artists 📣

The Makery invites artists to submit work for Golden Hour, a summer exhibition celebrating warmth, light, nostalgia, and the fleeting beauty of the season.

From glowing landscapes and vibrant florals to quiet moments of reflection, we welcome artwork that captures the feeling of summer — bold or subtle, joyful or contemplative.

All mediums are welcome, including painting, photography, ceramics, fiber, printmaking, mixed media, and sculpture.

Selected works will be exhibited at The Makery in downtown Wake Forest throughout the summer season.

Comment Golden for a copy to the prospectus sent straight to you.

Cathedral of Flowers by is officially hanging in our gallery. Be sure to stop by and see these pieces. They are stunning. 🤩
This is a series of encaustic fractals that shows the divine order of flowers. The repetition of the image pulls the sacred geometry and the repeating cellular structure of blossoming flowers, stems, and the shading of each petal.
