I wonder if this is a page we could have on our website: these and maybe the other nearby maker’s spaces? (Kalamazoo, Anna Arbor, etc)

There’s also Reach Art Studio (https://www.reachstudioart.org/), but that’s more fine art and not a maker’s club, and the local SCA (https://ealdnordwuda.midrealm.org/) which also isn’t really a maker’s space but related.

How funny, I was just working on updating our long-unused wiki, and was working on this page in particular.

I’ll add the ones mentioned here.

Yay, thank you!

It looks like the Red Ledge Brewers link goes to the Mid-Michigan Blacksmiths group, tho: does the wiki have a process to mark changes? (Or just talksite notes like this lol)

Another “not specifically a makers club, but there’s lots of overlap” group is the Midwest Ox Drover’s Association.

Could there be a link to the wiki from the website?

Yes indeed, just as soon as we get the updates in place so that folks are able to create accounts.
The new Tech Group has this in progress.
