On Sunday we’ll be exploring the wonderful world of terrariums. Join us as we make tiny worlds with soil, succulents, moss, and figurines!
Make-Alongs are self-guided craft workshops where participants learn new skills, explore new materials and make great things. Whether you’re a beginner or a master, there’s something for everyone!
Tickets for this Sunday’s Terrariums Make-Along are available on Eventbrite now.
TLDR; NYC Resistor now has TWO craft nights each week – Monday Craft Night and Thursday Craft Night. This is just a naming change, each night’s activities remain unchanged.
Why the change? We used to have just one Craft Night, and then folks wanted more laser time, so we started Laser Nights on Mondays. But the two nights are very similar, and the names were a bit confusing, so we voted to call them both Craft Night.
What is a Craft Night, anyway? If you’ve never been to a Craft Night before, you should! These are our main public events. Come hang out, work on a project, talk with other people about their projects, and/or learn something new. Craft Nights are Mondays @ 7:30pm til close, and Thursdays @ 6:30pm til close.
We also have a knitting circle that meets every other Monday during Craft Night (check the calendar – the next one is May 16th, 2016). Bring your existing project and knit with us, or if you don’t know how to knit, we’ll teach you! We have spare needles & yarn. Crochet, needlepoint, and other related activities also welcome.
As always, both nights are governed by our Code of Conduct. If you have any questions, you can email [email protected].
We’ve still got room in Saturday’s Laser Cutting class! Come learn how to use our magical laser cutter.
In this three hour class, we’ll walk through all the steps from idea to pressing the “go” button on the laser. We’ll cover safety, basic file preparation, and learn how to do a burninate test to find out if a material is laserable. After the three hours, you’ll have made a plaque for your door, a keychain, a simple box or something slightly ambitious. (There is lab time for laser cutting, questions and answers, and working with Inkscape, Illustrator, Corel Draw, etc.)
Hurry up and get your tickets!
We’ve got two great classes coming up this weekend: our ever-popular laser-cutting class on Saturday, and PCB Design with EAGLE on Sunday.
Once you take our laser-cutting class, you can swing by on any public night to use our laser! Amaaaazing.
…or take the EAGLE class, and learn how to design your own circuit schematics!
I mean, or you could take both. Check out the class listings on Eventbrite!
Come join us for a Book-Binding Make-Along on April 17th!
From simple folded accordians to fancy-smancy book binding stitches, come to this month’s Make-Along and make yourself a journal or turn a paperback into a hardcover! Grab a ticket and come hang out with us.
Never been to a Make-Along before? Make-Alongs are self-guided craft workshops where participants learn new skills, explore new materials, and make great things.
Want to learn how to make a website? Sign up for our introductory HTML and CSS class on April 30th!
No previous coding experience expected or required. You’ll learn how to make your own website, add content with HTML, and handle basic styling and positioning with CSS. At the end we’ll show you how to host your site with Github Pages for the world to see!
Tickets are up on EventBrite now.
Want to learn how to design your own circuit boards? Our EAGLE class is back!
Come take the PCB design class and we’ll teach you how to use the awesome, free EAGLE PCB design program. You’ll learn how to draw schematics, find the right footprint, lay out a circuit board, route the circuit board, and finally prepare the board for production. We’ll even show you where you can go to have your boards made for fairly cheap.
Class is Sunday, April 24, and tickets are available here. See you there!
…we’ve got new laser classes omg! Our laser-cutting classes are super popular and sell out quickly, so we added some more.
Learn to make laser pies…or laser-y boxes…really, you should just sign up for the class. After you get laser-certified you can come back during our public nights and use the laser cutter!
Want to learn to make iOS and Android apps with JavaScript? NYCR member Bonnie Eisenman will be leading a React Native intro workshop this Saturday. Tickets here!
We’ll walk through how to use the popular React Native framework to write high-quality, cross-platform mobile applications with JavaScript. Topics covered include mobile components, styling, and application structure. Come join us on Saturday!
