About WeMake

Born from the idea of creating a platform that fosters art and design within our community through hands-on experiences, workshops and design in action initiatives. WeMake hosts sketchXchange a monthly night of inspiration and drawing and a chance to peep into the sketchbooks of some of Portland’s favorite illustrators. WeMake also coordinates discovery workshops with Portland’s craftsmen community.

If you attend a WeMake event or series you’ve opened yourself up to exploring…to being an adventurer and charting new territories. Or you’ve been here before and you’re honing and sharing what you already know. Come make it happen.
