Classes
Thursday September 7: Basic Sewing Boot Camp with Megan Avery
A fun and hands-on 4-week project based sewing class teaching the fundamentals of sewing. Sew a messenger bag and a reversible apron.
Tuesday October 3: Still Life Drawing with Don Statham
Six weeks with pencils and erasers. Through gesture and weight of line, students learn how to master the technical skills to accurately describe simple and complex forms in an organized composition. We will look to artists such as Cezanne, Giacometti and Morandi to learn how they mastered the art of drawing.
Saturday October 7: Soldering for Small Electronics with Brian Crabtree
Build and take home a noisy sound machine while learning a wide range of soldering skills. We've designed a circuit which includes through-hole, surface mount, and wire lug techniques. We'll also demonstrate repair and salvage techniques.
Friday October 13: Intermediate Synthesis with Dan Derks
Building off of concepts introduced in our Basic Synthesis classes, Intermediate Synthesis is a deep-dive into creative patching techniques for modular synthesizers. We’ll use VCV Rack (a free software modular synthesizer) as well as hardware, to transform a collection of ‘basic’ utilities into a playground of exciting sounds and musical gestures.
Events

Thursday September 7: Go
