Join brewing facilitator Liam as he brings out the cider press for a non-alcoholic pear cider pressing! Come by to see and try out the press and taste some pear cider. Stop by for some or all of the event.
MakeHaven members: join facilitator Stephen for a group badging on the vinyl cutter where you will get to create a vinyl cling to take home (pick the Hey Boo Ghosts or the Bloody Hand Prints). It's a great way to learn this tool and create your first project with it all at once.
Before class: watch the instructional video and pass the quiz so you have the pending badge: https://www.makehaven.org/roland-gs-24-vinyl-cutterplotter
What to Expect:
In this course, you'll dive into the core fundamentals of Python, covering essential topics like data types, functions, file handling, and data structures. The course is designed to be interactive and fun, with a hands-on project where you'll build a touch-activated stopwatch using a microcontroller.
Whether you're working on something wild and wonderful, or still brainstorming your next big idea, this is the perfect space to show it off or bounce ideas around. We want to see what you’ve been up to, hear your stories, and get inspired by each other’s creativity. Feel free (but not required!) to bring a snack or drink to share. Whether you're a seasoned maker, just starting out, or anywhere in between, this event is for you. Come hang out, make connections, and let’s keep building together!
Meet in the main space for some Halloweeny fun. Make a fall themed wreath with Ellen ($10 materials cost), make (and taste if you dare!) fake blood with Jeremy, or just bring a favorite fall treat to share and hang with makers.
Costumes highly encouraged! The crowd-voted favorite costume will win a gift card!
Bring a machine if you have one to work on your project. Snacks/drinks to share are always welcome!
This month at MakeHaven we will have a quiet quilters area upstairs for those wanting to work on projects as usual, as well as demos of the laser cutter (to cut and engrave fabric), the embroidery machine, and the long arm quilter!
What to Expect:
This workshop invites participants to unleash their creativity by designing and crafting a personalized lantern. Bring your own design or create one on the spot; either way, you'll discover the magic of using a laser cutter to precision-cut your lantern's intricate patterns. As the finishing touch, you'll delve into the world of basic wiring to illuminate your lantern, creating a captivating masterpiece that reflects your unique design sensibilities.
What to Expect:
In this class, you'll learn how to cover a glass ornament with polymer clay canes, thread tassels to add a decorative touch, and make a coordinating hook to match your ornament. While your creations bake, instructor Nancy will demonstrate the process of making polymer clay canes, providing you with tips and tricks to enhance your skills.
