Why would a craft school be so committed to give back? Because we can! The entire purpose of our school is to share, through knowledge and resources. From the beginning I chose not to let outside companies influence our purpose, true education has to be free of outside controls. Everything on our property, Susie and I paid for. This makes running a program like ours more challenging, but at the same time makes giving more meaningful.

Each year MASW does several events that are purpose driven for a very specific cause, which is directly related to our students or instructors. It’s my intention to achieve a long-term goal of giving that has meaning while making a positive mark on our community. I have witnessed firsthand how incredibly generous people who work with their hands are. The greatest gift in making, is giving.

To celebrate our love of craft, along with the incredible generosity of the MASW family, we will be offering three very special events for the summer of 2026. I encourage our alumni and friends of the school to support these events by participating or donating to these worthy organizations. All these organizations are public charities that have been organized as a 501c(3) corporation. All donations to each cause are tax deductible to the full extent as allowed by the law. If you know someone who could benefit or if you would like to help the cause, please contact Rachel Wall at rachel@marcadams.com or Markee Murrin at markee@marcadams.com
