NEW! Maker’s Market Entrepreneurship Program

After a successful Holiday Maker’s Market at LitShop, we’re expanding our market program. In 2024, LitShop will host four dates for LitShop youth to sell their handmade goods, including three at one of St Louis’s biggest and best farmer’s markets, the Tower Grove Farmer’s Market. LitShop will provide training, resources, and support for our youth as they hone their making skills, build their small business, and earn income from sales.

Shop is open! Come to LitShop any time during our designated open shop times to work on independent projects using skills they’ve learned at LitShop. They’ll have access to LitShop’s tools and supplies, and we’ll have staff to assist with building and making projects. Need volunteer hours for NJHS, scouts, or youth groups? Complete chores and projects around the shop and earn all the hours you need.

Attendees can come any time during the session for as long as they like, no registration required.
