Star Spangled Sam

Hi—I’m Melissa, the heart behind The Make Space--a mobile DIY studio where we deliver creativity, community and connection throughout northern Colorado. I started The Make Space because I believe creativity is better when it’s shared—and that everyone deserves a place to slow down, make something with their hands, and leave feeling proud of what they've created.

My workshops are designed to be relaxed, beginner-friendly, and full of encouragement. Whether you come solo or bring a friend, you’ll walk away with a finished project—and hopefully a little extra joy.

I’m thrilled to be teaching at Makers Mercantile and can’t wait to make something fun together!
