Meet the incredible people and projects that make our community special this month.

Celebrating Our Community
Every month, we're amazed by the creativity, collaboration, and innovation happening within our spaces. Here are some highlights from January that showcase the incredible spirit of our community.
Featured Creator: Sarah Chen
Ceramicist & Entrepreneur
Sarah has been using our maker spaces to develop her sustainable pottery line. Her work combines traditional techniques with modern design, creating pieces that are both beautiful and environmentally conscious.
"174Thaiha has given me access to tools and a community I never could have afforded on my own. The connections I've made here have been invaluable for my business."
Sarah's January Achievements:
- Launched her online store
- Collaborated with three local restaurants
- Taught a workshop for 20 community members
- Developed a new glazing technique using recycled materials
