TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Truckee Roundhouse Community Makerspace is relaunching the Maker Show on Sunday, June 26, for the first time since the pandemic began.

The Truckee Roundhouse, a nonprofit located at the Truckee Tahoe Airport, kept their doors open during the pandemic thanks to volunteers and support from the North Tahoe community.

Roundhouse is once again welcoming new members, hosting programs with education and community enrichment program partners, and offering classes to the public in their shops; wood, textiles, ceramics, metal and technology.

Organizers are working to create an inspired event, by doubling the participants and adding more ways to interact with the makers and try new skills. Participating makers will be doing show-and-tell exhibitions of art cars and large-scale art, live demonstrations, micro-workshops.

Free hands-on activities for kids and adults include; blacksmithing with Mountain Forge, R/C robot challenge, upcycled art making, balloon art, jewelry making, screen printing, pottery painting, paper arts, Encaustic painting and ceramic projects.
