Want to learn to solder? Our learn-to-solder class is on July 30th!
We’ll be building some Game of Life kits – LED tiles that blink and form cool patterns. No previous experience necessary. The class will cover everything you need to know in order to solder safely and effectively (including fixing your mistakes!).
Want to learn how to sew? NYC Resistor member Becky Stern is leading a sewing class this Saturday!
Pick up those basic sewing skills you’ve always wanted in this total beginner class! We’ll thread needles, tie knots, sew buttons, and practice basic stitches used for clothing alteration and repair. You’ll walk away with a mix of hand and machine techniques you can use to patch ripped jeans, hem something that’s too-long, make your own curtains, and generally gain agency over your textile world.
We still have a bit of room left in our Kokedama Make-Along for this Sunday!
This is not your typical craft class. Make-Along is a self-guided craft workshop where participants learn new skills, explore new materials and make great things! In this session we’ll be exploring how to make lovely floating plant planets known as kokedamas, or moss balls, or awesome things you totally want to learn how to make.
It’s laser time! We still have tickets left for this Saturday’s laser cutting class. Learn to cut and etch wood, acrylic, chocolate, and more with our laser cutter.
Once you take our laser cutting class, you’re laser-certified! Come in and use our laser on Craft Nights to make cool stuff. Grab a ticket before it sells out!
We still have a few tickets left for our Intro to Arduino class this Sunday. Who’s going to grab them?
Our Arduino intro is a 3-hour whirlwind tour, including hands-on lessons on how to use light sensors, blink LEDs, and make buzzers buzz! No prior hardware or electronics experience is required, though some basic programming experience (familiarity with for loops, variables, and functions) is helpful.
In this class, we’ll stick touch pads on any objects to make them into keyboards, drum controllers, or trigger pads. No coding or soldering experience is needed, but you’ll have the opportunity to do either or both if you like. Bring an object you’d like to instrumentify! And hurry up and buy your ticket before we sell out.
We’ve got a brand-new class on June 25th! Resistor member Becky Stern will be leading our Sewing Basics class. Always wanted to learn to use a sewing machine? Here’s your chance!
We’ll thread needles, tie knots, sew buttons, and practice basic stitches used for clothing alteration and repair. After three hours of detailed, hands-on instruction, you’ll walk away with a mix of hand and machine techniques you can use to patch ripped jeans, hem something that’s too long, make your own curtains, and generally gain agency over your textile world.
Been curious about electronics, but don’t know where to start? Want to learn to use programming to interact with real-world stuff? Our always-popular intro to Arduino class is running again on June 12th! You’ll learn how to blink LEDs, make a buzzer buzz, and use a light sensor.
No previous hardware or electronics experience necessary, though some basic programming knowledge is helpful. Get your tickets!
OMG Blinkies!
It surprises literally nobody that we love blinky things at NYC Resistor. Maybe you want some blinky things of your own? NYC Resistor member Matt Metts is teaching his Blinky Umbrella Workshop on June 5th!
In the workshop, you’ll learn the simple soldering technique needed to assemble the electronics, and the craft techniques used to attach everything securely to the umbrella. And yes, you really can use it in the rain. Hurry up and get a ticket!
We just wrapped our last Make-Along on Sunday. Now we can get ready for our June Make-Along: Kokedama!
We’ll be exploring how to make the lovely floating plant planets known as kokedama, or moss balls. Make-Alongs are guided craft workshops where participants learn new skills, explore new materials, and make great things – beginners and experts alike are welcome!
The Kokedama Make-Along is on June 19th. Grab a ticket before they’re gone!
