In the Making

In the Making is a series of inspiring public programs where we connect with a range of new voices, fields, and perspectives. Join us for an insider’s view of the lives and work of those who practice and appreciate craft in all its forms—artists, tradespeople, curators, community leaders, chefs, scholars, and others.

In the Making: Crafting a Business
A series of talks for students of craft and trade and those looking to start a creative business

Now in its sixth season, In the Making returns on January 29, 2026 (through May) with an eight episode series focused on supporting the transition from student to professional. This year, alumni and community partners will share firsthand insights on key aspects of starting a business—from shaping a livelihood and setting up a workshop to purchasing an existing creative business.

Stay tuned for details—we hope you’ll join us in person or virtually.

These programs are made possible with generous support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and all of our Partners in Craft.
