Thanks to the the talents of our students, faculty, and staff, our Makerspace community knit and crocheted scarf has been placed on Petey the bronze griffin for the season. Makerspace is a collection of activities for all members of the Canisius community to be creative and have fun. Through the generous support of Taheri and Todoro, PC, we offer a range of things to learn and make. The Multi-Station Makerspace co-hosted by the Digital Media Arts program, Department of Education, and the Fine Arts department was a great success.
Please stay tuned for events in the spring including our art project using donated plastic caps and lids!
