Zone updates
Craft Room
Sewing:
- The USB key for the embroidery software is missing. It is not useful for anything but what its designed to do for the software we have. Replacement is a couple grand so that is unlikely. There is a cheaper software alternative we may get if it doesn't turn up but it may start with the basics and there will probably be retrainings offered.
Art:
- Please note that the new grey mats in the craft room are available for gluing work.
Letterpress
- If you haven't gotten a chance to see the letterpress in action, come out this Thursday 4/20 (6:30pm-8:30pm) for a demo & make-and-take! We'll be printing witty slogans on paper drink coasters, using the vintage 1920's type that came with the press. (Linoleum blocks will also be available for carving, if you've got more time.) No experience required -- in fact, this is a great way to get trained on the press and its accoutrements if you have your own project in mind. RSVPs to ashley.prescott at gmail.com helpful, but by no means necessary.
Sewing
- Next sewing night is April 26, the last sewing event before Penguicon! Come finish your costume!
