Five nights and three classes — The Maker's Week
Baltimore, Maryland
Ninety rooms above nine working studios in an 1860s mill. The furniture, the ceramics, the lighting and the linen were all made in this building, and most of it is for sale.

Where you sleep
No two floors are identical, which made the build harder and the stay better. Rates shown are the lowest of the next ninety days.
All accommodation
RoomsEverything in it was made downstairs.
RoomsTwo queens and a loom-woven blanket on each.

LoftsA double-height loft with north glazing and a work table.
LoftsThe top of the mill, with the hoist beam still in place.
What there is to do
You can do all of it in a long weekend, though we would rather you did about half.
