For this week's Roaming St. Louis segment, KMOX host Scott Jagow visits the Delmar Maker District, about a mile east of The Loop. The district is home to spaces that allow artists to create and artisans to perfect their crafts. In the coming year, it'll add eight restaurants to the area.
Scott sat down with Doug Auer, co-founder of the Third Degree Glass Factory, the district's original workshop. From blown glass to ceramics to wood and metalworking, the Delmar Maker District is a place for local creative people to do their best work (and kids, too, at the Magic House MADE workspace). Listen below.
