The Steel Yard

Creating an industrial arts makerspace in the heart of Providence R.I.

The Steel Yard’s historic three-acre campus is a platform for professional artists, makers and the community to practice and learn the industrial arts. The organization fosters creative and economic opportunities, by providing workspace, tools, training, and education while forging lasting links to a local tradition of craftsmanship.

I was the first Program Director of the Yard and spent six awesome years creating the educational programs, building a team of instructors, developing community events, and teaching design and fabrication to high school students.
