The Unity Women’s Maker Collective is having their Grand Opening Event today.
Mary Myhre is part of the Unity project and says they’re based out of Parkland Crossing.
“We have a storefront space and a maker’s space in our room. Maker’s space means people can book appointments to come down and use our sewing machine, vinyl cutter, or anything else we have for making things. IT’s a very open space for the public.”
They have etched glassware, a few different types of beeswax candles, and woodworking, all hand made by the women a part of the Unity Project.
Myhre wants to highlight a new glassware collection they are making. They call it the Dauphin Virtues Collection and the names of all the bronze statues around Dauphin have been etched onto the glasses.
Myhre says they do plan to run another intake for the Unity Project later this year in August or September.
Myhre is asking for those that stop by to bring a donation for the food bank.
“We want to partner well with everybody here at Parkland Crossing. They’ve been so hospitable to us in opening this room to us. The food bank is a big part of that and they are in need right now. Their shelves are a little bit empty so they could use some donations. If you plan on coming down today please bring a tin for the bin and we’ll make the donation at the end of the day.”
Their storefront area will be open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10am-1pm.
They will also be selling their product at Mega Deals, which will allow people that can’t make it to Parkland Crossing during the time they’re open still support them.
