Artisan's Asylum: September Classes and August Meet & Greet (this Sunday!)

[hrafn.livejournal.com]

Artisan's Asylum, a nonprofit community craft workshop just outside of Union Square, has several upcoming events:

SEPTEMBER CLASSES:

Our September weekly classes are online and ready for registration! You can find our entire class listing here:

A few of the topics are: MIG welding, clothing alteration, black and white photography, precision machining, making latex clothing, mechanical design, and game programming.

This month we're also trying something a little new - theme nights! A theme night is a certain time of week where a whole bunch of people converge to work on similar kinds of projects for a long stretch of time, like sewing or robotics. Artisan's Asylum is taking it one step further, and having most of our instructors show up at theme nights to help members and students with problems and questions. If you hit a little roadblock in your project, a number of talented people are guaranteed to be on hand to help you solve it! Most of our courses come bundled with access to one theme night, but if you decide not to enroll in a course you can enroll specifically in theme
nights.

If a class you want to take fills up, please add yourself to the waitlist. If we get enough people on the waitlist to any given class, we'll work really hard with the instructor to offer a second class.

MEET & GREET:

On Sunday, August 22nd, from 2 PM to 5 PM, we'll be having a Meet & Greet that features our founders, volunteer officers (all 30+ of them), and instructors. This is a perfect opportunity to meet the people behind the scenes, get to know the instructors that you might take classes from in September, and generally have a good time boozing and schmoozing with fellow crazy folk. All are welcome!

We'll be in the dining room at Tommy Doyle's in Kendall Square. Some food will be provided, but otherwise food and drink are available from the cash bar.

ALSO:

We will have a table at the Bizarre Bazaar this Saturday in Union Square, where several of our instructors and wardens will be doing craft demos and answering questions - please stop by and say hello!

If you have any questions, you can ask me, or send inquiries to artisansasylum AT gmail DOT com.
