About Richard Guha

Introduction to Woodcut

Woodcut is a type of printmaking process. The art of printmaking involves the creation of a "master" printing block, from which multiple prints can then be made. The creation of a woodcut block is a very satisfying and tactile process, where hand tools are used to carve out the image that will be printed.

In this introductory workshop, students will learn how to:

MakeHaven has a number of great tools we just cant keep anymore. As a fundraiser we are selling these used tools starting at 10am Saturday August 20th.



We will have the extra tools available tag sale style starting at 10am, (9:45 for members). Prices will be as marked, and reduced as the event goes on to keep things moving.  At some point what is left will be "pick your own price". At 4pm we take anything that is left to the scrap metal yard.

All proceeds will support MakeHaven, the purchase of tools, supplies and programming.

Slow Food Shoreline's Cook.Eat.Share Skillshare program is a monthly cooking class where attendees learn a new cooking skill or technique from members of the community, like you, who want to share their cooking knowledge.

For the month of August, community members Tambira Armmand will share her secrets to making sweet and savory pies. During the 90 minute hands on class, she will teach the attendees the steps of making pie dough from scratch. She'll also show you how to add flavorful fillings to make a sweet or savory pie.

August 12th, SeeClickFix will be hosting a 2-day Civic Hack event. One piece of feedback we received from June's event was that folks wanted more time to be able to deliberate, dream, and develop their ideas and tools. 

The theme will still be New Haven’s Unique Needs, and we’ll use the SeeClickFix API to build solutions.

Challenge:

Form teams to address one of New Haven’s Unique Needs in one of three ways:

1. Build an embedded device (arduino, raspberry pi, etc.) to report issues.

This meetup is focused on Internet of Things, in preparation for the New Haven Hackathon.

The purpose is to socialize with others and get exposure to the technologies and sensors that will drive the New Haven Hackathon. This is an excellent time to make connections with future team members. Have a project with sensors, Arduino, beacon, 360 camera, or drone? Bring it!

Experienced and inexperienced makers and hackers welcome.

We will have beverages and pizza for attendees who RSVP.
