Makemobile brings more making to your life.
Providing materials, activities and encouragement, we engage hands, eyes and imagination in an atmosphere of fun, sociable experimentation.
Like a modern-day quilting bee, Makemobile workshops foster social connections, discussion, and co-creative space in public places.
We primarily use and promote natural materials because they are wonderful to work with and they won't pollute waterways and landfills!

Amy ‘Biker’ Walker is a self-propelled maker who has a special interest in “Doing it Together.” With Makemobile, a pedal-powered arts and crafts studio, she designs collaborative, hands-on activities which bring people together snd create connections.
Trained as a designer/craftsperson at Sheridan College’s School of Crafts and Design, Amy has experimented with drawing, painting, silk screen, sewing, film, and graphic design. After a life chapter (2001 - 2012) producing a magazine (Momentum) and book (On Bicycles) about the new bike culture, Amy shifted gears to focus on what turns her own crank: craft & art. She’s spent the last five years honing her skills as a facilitator and making textiles, garments and hats from natural materials (wool, silk, cotton, linen, etc.). |
