Maker of the Month: Trevor Stevens
Each month the Art Spot Silverthorne Makerspace is highlighting a Maker of the Month to showcase the talented artists and creators in our community.
Maker of the Month Trevor Stevens says he has always been an artist. He enjoys learning new mediums but finds that the ones where he can work with his hands are his favorite, including mosaics, pottery, and woodworking.
Trevor says "I love all of the tools and classes that the Art Spot provides. The clean, open spaces allow me to do work that I never could at home." He also enjoys working alongside other artists, and says "I have learned so much just by saying hello."
As he continues his artistic journey, Trevor is looking to use his woodworking and pottery projects created at the Art Spot to support a charcuterie delivery business.
