Charlton Makes! May 31 - June 9, 2024

Charlton Makes! is an annual pop-up exhibition and workshop series highlighting the creative talent that abounds within a short radius of Main Street Studio in Saratoga County, NY. This year’s event will run from May 31 - June 9.

Come out to see what your neighbors have made over the long winter: furniture, metalwork, painting, textiles, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, woodturning, photography, hand-made objects for the home & garden, local farm products and many other surprises!
