No skill required, but please bring a stuffie or two from home or a thrift store if you can swing it. Leave with a new freaky mutant friend.⁠ ⁠ Colby Sangree is an artist deeply rooted in Baltimore. They can be found tending their garden and beehives, practicing tai chi, or helping justice-minded folks keep their ducks in a row. Wherever possible, Colby is devoted to cultivating a sense of play.⁠ ⁠ Register and learn more about Make Space at toollibrary.org/makespace or the link in bio. by @stationnorthtoollibrary
