What is Made in SLU?
Once upon a time, they called it Plant Camp, now it's just Made in SLU and it's a crafting series held every other week in South Lake Union from May 27th to October 28th, 2026).Â
How do I join?
Each Made in SLU event is held at Nitro Plaza from 12 pm to 3 pm. Each walk-up event is first-come, first-served, due to limited space. In other words, the sooner you show up the better ;-) You can't pre-register. Simply show up and scan the QR code at "Check In."Â
People LOVE this event (and we can't blame 'em) so that means wait times can vary. Be patient with us, we're plant people! It takes about 30 minutes to finish a craft: the ideal mid-day break. Yeah, we really thought of everything ;-) What will you think up?Â
