The Foundry

The Foundry’s Textile Lab is the perfect place to learn something new! No matter your skill level, there is something for everyone.

Learn how to sew, how to read a pattern, or how to use a Cricut machine to bring your creative visions to life! Just attend a fun orientation to build confidence in the makerspace and then you’ll be able to create on your own during our Open Maker Hours.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the graduation and pitch competition for The Foundry’s very first Family Business Dinners cohort - and YOU are invited!

Sponsored by Springboard NY, this groundbreaking initiative is designed specifically for parent entrepreneurs, including single parents, women, and Black and Brown families from Buffalo’s East Side, solving the ultimate balancing act by letting families learn, grow, and build businesses together.

Over the last few weeks, these entrepreneurs attended virtual workshops along with in-person family dinners, working side-by-side with their kids on core business principles. Plus, to make sure parents could fully focus on the program, The Foundry provided on-site certified childcare and fun, age-appropriate entrepreneurial activities for the kids and teens! Win-win-win!

Join us on Tuesday, June 9th for a community giving ceremony!

Our incredible students from OLV Human Services have been pouring their hearts into handmade projects to donate to some amazing local organizations: the The SPCA Serving Erie County, NY , Beds for Buffalo with The Service Collaborative of WNY , and Grassroots Gardens .

We are so proud of their hard work and can’t wait for the big reveal! Come celebrate with us!
