Makers,Every Tuesday at CMS our 3D Print Shop Lead, Tiffany Vincent, holds 3D Print Club, a chance to trouble-shoot and design in a freestyle session. This week, The Valley News featured a Q&A with Tiffany on the club and about everything 3D print. (Also, if you are looking for a chance to get a beginner level understanding of this technology join us for Intro to 3D Printing covering the methods of 3D printing and the fundamental steps for designing and printing models).

Just a reminder, the tickets are still available for the Shaker Table Q&A w/ PBS’ Tom McLaughlin event on Saturday, February 16th.

Just Announced:

Please join us for an Open House at CMS on Friday, February 22nd from 6 – 8 PM.

Makers,

The West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts and the Claremont Maker Space are pleased to welcome master woodworker Tom McLaughlin to Claremont for this special program. Participants will learn the techniques used to build the Shaker Hall Table designed by Tom. These tips and tricks will be valuable for other projects as well. Full size, hand drawn plans will be available to purchase for an additional fee (cash or check). At the end of the program the audience will be invited to ask questions. About Tom McLaughlin: Beginning with a rare three-year apprenticeship alongside master craftsman P.A. “Pug” Moore in North Carolina, Tom has enjoyed designing and making commission and Custom Furniture full-time since 1990. His designs have received recognition and numerous awards during his twenty-year membership with the prestigious New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association. Since 2001 Tom has also been teaching furniture making from his shop in Canterbury New Hampshire, and currently online through his website epicwoodworking.com . Most recently he has been featured as host of the public television’s Rough Cut with Fine Woodworking. He has also written for Fine Woodworking magazine, and the Adirondack chair he designed is on the cover of the current issue. Registration before February 9th: West Claremont Center for Music and the Arts and the Claremont Maker Space Member$25 Non Member $30 Registration after February 9th:$35 To register, please go here.

Makers,

The weather outside might be unpredictable, but at CMS one thing is sure; we have a steady supply of engaging and exciting classes being added to the calendar every week.

Have you ever wanted to learn how a simple computer program works? Join us next Tuesday, January 29th to play around with a simple program and understand how it runs. This class is an intro class, so be sure to bring your questions.

Kicking off the first weekend in February are two classes to help you build up your fiber arts and soldering skills. On Saturday, February 2nd join us for Make A Weekender Bag. Participants will leave the class with a weekend twill tote bag.  No previous experience necessary, although some familiarity with a sewing machine is preferred. On Sunday, February 3rd, join our Microelectronics lead to Make An LED Heart. Why buy chocolates when you can make an LED heart that will last forever?  Family pairs (adult / child aged 10+) or couples assembling a heart together are welcome.

The Claremont Makerspace and the Center for Women & Enterprise are excited to offer a Social Media 101 course tomorrow, Wednesday, January 16th, from 6 – 8 PM. This workshop will get you started in using Facebook for business, which remains the number one social media site that businesses MUST be using.  You’ll also learn enough about Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter to decide if any of these are right for you. You’ll learn how to create a Facebook Business Page and how to use it effectively to get noticed. PREREQUISITE: You must have experience using Facebook with a personal page. Bring your own laptop or notebook if you like, but this is not required.  The material is perfect for small businesses, including craft and hobby businesses, and creatives who want to market their art.  This workshop is open to anyone.

To register, please go here.

Tonight, we have both 3D Print Club & Red River’s Home PC/ Small Business PC tune-up. To sign up for these classes, please follow the links below.

Makers,

This weekend we have three classes at The Claremont Makerspace: Make An LED Hourglass, Fiber Arts Orientation & Quilting Machine Training.  Both fiber arts classes are excellent ways to get familiar with our textile equipment.  The LED Hourglass project uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as grains of “sand” to simulate the movement of the hourglass, the upper “sand” trickles down one by one, piling up at the bottom. Family pairs (adult / child aged 10+) assembling an hourglass together are welcome. Note that your child will be working with a hot soldering iron. To register for these classes, follow the links below.

We have just added a swath of new classes in January including Intro to MIG Welding, Laser 101, Messin’ Around with Object Oriented Programming, Make A Votive Candle Holder and Intro to 3D Printing. See our full class listings for more information on these.

Makers,

Tonight – Join us for 3D PRINT CLUB! Every week, we’ll get together and participate in a freestyle design session. In a freestyle, participants simply design what they want to. There will also be various design challenges each week if you’re looking for inspiration, and an instructor will be present to offer advice and otherwise help troubleshoot as you create and print designs. Instructor-supported software (and software available on the Makerspace computers) includes Tinkercad and Fusion 360. If you’re an experienced 3D designer, bring your laptop and favorite design software! We’ll also spend time cleaning up our prints and discussing what goes into making the best print possible. This event runs as a 3 month session. At the end of each session we’ll collect our favorite and best prints and have an open showing.

To register for 3D Print Club, please go here.
