BV Made

BV Made A makerspace for Chaffee County residents (adults, children and seniors) We quickly learned we both love making and were lacking the space to do so.

Who We Are
The idea for BV Made came to life when we, Nicole and Letitia met at a meetup at Eddyline Brewery in Buena Vista in the winter of 2021. Nicole Ste[han
Nicole is a maker at heart. She's always been involved in art and design in some capacity for her career. Most recently, she tackled building an offroad teardrop camper. This project gave her the opportunity to learn and explore many disc

iplines, from welding to woodworking including the use of a CNC router and laser cutter. Letitia Pryor
Letitia always loved building things with her hands since she was a kid. Her woodworking got a jumpstart when she began building furniture to save money and then continued to build items that met her unique tastes.
