While staying at home, people have turned to self-entertainment, as evidenced by last year's craze for baking sourdough. But creativity has spilled out in every direction, and this new virtual program from Monona Terrace highlights what our neighbors have been doing while left to their own devices. Madison Makes is showcasing a dad who built a home hockey rink, others who worked with stop-motion animation and textiles, and still other creatives who turned to stargazing and yes, cooking. There's also a how-to and demonstration segment for those who want to DIY. Free; register here.
