Spark Makerspace

Address: 7 Union Street, New London, CT

Website: www.sparkmakerspace.org

Description: Spark Makerspace was founded in 2015 by a group of artists, techies, and entrepreneurs, all of them makers, looking to support creativity by providing urban dwellers and the region with resources they did not have at home. With support from CTNext, the City of New London, and some very generous individuals, we opened our first community workshop space at 86 Golden Street in New London CT in June 2016. In 2017 we relocated to State Street where we grew from 30 to 130 active members. Spark was awarded a Frank Loomis Palmer grant which helped hire an Executive Director, and award 12 scholarships. The move provided an opportunity to restructure the organization and focus on a member-centered approach to organizing. As part of that effort, Spark formed a Member Advisory Council with 2 seats on the Board of Directors. The Council empowered members to develop education policies and procedures. The Council initiated Spark’s hallmark accomplishments of Classes and Meetups where members teach and share skills within the community and with the general public. Spark Makerspace grew beyond the capacity of the State Street location. To accommodate growth and embrace the momentum, Spark and friends bought a historic 9,400 square foot commercial building on Union Street in New London which it renovated throughout 2021, and is proud to say is now completed and open!

Description: The Knickerbocker Café, a storied music club in Westerly, Rhode Island, was built in 1933, shortly after the end of Prohibition. The Café itself is named after a train, the Knickerbocker Express, that passed through Westerly station at the time of the Café’s founding.

The club thrived as one of the leading entertainment centers in southern New England, hosting regional and national bands with an emphasis on the blues. Some of the greats that played on the Knickerbocker stage included, Big Joe Turner, Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland, Johnny Nicholas, Leon Russell, Eric Burdon and Stevie Ray Vaughan. In 1967, Roomful of Blues was born in Westerly, when guitarist Duke Robillard and pianist Al Copley started a band that played tough, no-holds barred Chicago blues. Making the Knickerbocker Café their home club, it did not take long before they started exploring swinging, jumping blues and added a horn section. Roomful would pack the house every Sunday and still plays their great brand of blues today.

Fast forward and the Cafe has become the Knickerbocker Music Center, with a mission to preserve, cultivate, celebrate and teach Westerly blues and all other forms of music. The Knickerbocker Music Center, with our sister organization, the United Theatre, allows for centralized marketing, and the coordination of physical space. Located just around the corner, The United, together with The Knick creates a multi-venue regional campus for the arts.

The United is a regional center for the arts and arts education; showcasing world-class performing, visual and creative arts. Since 2014, the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra & Music School has partnered with The Knick to engage more than 5,000 students in the Westerly & Chariho school districts. Together, The United and The Knick provide an Educational Learning Center for 300+ weekly lessons, classes and ensembles to students of the Philharmonic Music School.

Zimmer Clay Works

Website: zimmerclayworks.net

Phone: 301-365-8286

Description: Austin Zimmer's works are made with 100% porcelain clay and fired to very high temperatures, making them particularly durable. All utilitarian pieces (cups, bowls, platters, etc.) are microwave and dishwasher safe and all glazes are certified as food-safe. 
Raised on a small island in the South Pacific, Tonga, Austin acquired at an early age his deep appreciation for handcrafted items. The human figure and natural world consistently supply him with inspiration for new forms and designs. While the utilitarian aspect of his pieces speaks to his belief that form must work in concert with function, Austin also enjoys integrating movement, animation and whimsy into his pieces.   
?Austin's goal is to create work that enriches not only the daily rituals of food preparation and presentation, but also the aesthetics of living.
