Hi All,
We had a great turnout at this week’s Talk & Tinker, with a number a new faces joining us. We saw found object sculpture by a younger member, experimentation with a 3d printing pen, work done on a sewing project and a flying-wing drone, and discussions that ranged from workshop ideas to hiking trails to musical instruments. There’s always something new to learn when a bunch of creative minds meet in a space made for possibilities.
Open Hours - Saturday 2/22 from 3 - 6 pm - Weekly - This is basically what it sounds like, we’re open and you can come in to use the space. Bring a project to work on, peruse our supplies and tools to get an idea for a project, or just check out the space and chat for a bit. Since a variety of tools may be in use during this session, we do have safety glasses available to borrow if needed and there will be a waiver to sign upon entering. As we continue to grow and expand what we have to offer, we will be transitioning our Open Hours events to pay-what-you-can, but, of course, memberships would cover these events.
Mending Monday 2/24 from 6 - 8 pm. Bi-weekly (approximately) - Fiber arts jam session. No specific theme this week, but bring out whatever fiber arts project you’re working on, something you’re looking to repair or alter, or just hang out with other fiber folks and get some new ideas. There’s lots of random fabric and supplies, a sewing machine, and more. Please arrive promptly so you’ll have plenty of time to work on your project.
Talk & Tinker Tuesday 2/25 from 6 - 9 pm. Weekly - This week is just a general session, so bring out a project, see what we have to inspire a new creation, or just hang out for a bit. We have a wide variety of hand tools, soldering irons, rotary tools, sewing supplies, electronic components, and lots more. If there’s something special you’re looking to use, or something you’d like specific help with, get in touch at this email or on Discord and we’ll do what we can to get you what you need. Since a variety of tools may be in use during this session, we do have safety glasses available to borrow if required and there will be a waiver to sign upon entering.
