Craft classes at Artisan's Asylum

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Our first group of classes has been scheduled, and you can register online. We have over a dozen classes covering a variety of crafts. A few examples: Clothing Modification, Building Art Bikes, PIC Microcontrollers for Beginners, MIG Welding, Intro to Making Whiskey, and CNC Metal Machining.

A couple of the classes - "Introduction to Sewing" and "Learning by Building the Asylum" (learn basic woodworking tools by making work benches) - are included in the $25 joining fee. "Rubber Duck Brigade" is also included in the joining fee - this is an intense weekend class in cooperation with Project Best Idea Ever whose entire goal is to build rafts to float on the Charles River to watch the July 4 fireworks. We will be building rafts shaped like rubber ducks!

All classes will be taught at our location at 561 Windsor St. (it's the same building Taza Chocolate is in), starting next week July 5; Rubber Duck Brigade happens this weekend.

I was pretty tempted by the Rubber Duck Brigade. Then my inner voice kicked in and said "NO MORE STUFF". Still, floating on the Charles practically underneath the fireworks sounds like an utter blast.

You don't need to keep the duck raft! I think the plan is to either convert them into seating in the space, or disassemble them to reuse the parts.

And what fine seating they would make in that space! Hee! I'm also busy this weekend and can not put in 2 full 10 hour days to devote to it, but if I did, I'd be all over this! (My "thing" thing would kick in though, and I would probably want to keep it...) Already signed up for one of the sewing classes, tho.

FYI, the classes are not going to be starting until July 5; you should be getting a class-related email tomorrow. The new dates for each class session are posted on the website.
