Makers Way at Gateway Celebrates Greensboro's Craft Scene This Weekend
Greensboro's Gateway Gardens goes hands-on this weekend as Makers Way at Gateway returns on April 12 — a single-day celebration of the local artisans, craftspeople, and makers who have been quietly building one of the Triad's strongest small-craft scenes. Visitors stroll the garden paths between live demonstrations of pottery, woodturning, leatherwork, printmaking, and fiber arts, watching makers build things in real time.
Gateway Gardens sits on the western edge of the city and is an underrated venue for outdoor events — 11 acres of themed garden rooms that make a natural backdrop for booths, music, and the slow, patient pace of watching someone shape a bowl on a foot-powered lathe. Food trucks and local coffee round out the afternoon.
If you're going: admission is designed to be accessible, parking is free at the gardens, and early afternoon is the calmest window for kids. Bring cash for the smaller makers who still prefer it.
