DIWO - CADRE build
NOTE: THIS CLASS REQUIRES TECHSHOP MEMBERSHIP see link below.
A one month unclass focused on building objects, creating community, and collaborating to make art. CADRE faculty Steve Durie and James Morgan are facilitating the month long community/building event which will run from approximately December 15 to January 15 at the TechShop in Menlo Park.
NOTE: Dates and times to be determined, TechShop membership required! (Hint see gift membership).
This is inspired by the TechShop’s gift membership (http://techshop.ws/gift.html) which includes a month’s worth of time on-site in Menlo Park, access to the massive amount of CNC machinery, the maker community and two beginning classes.
The goals are simple:
- work hard
- build objects
- share what you know
- choose what you learn
- build networks and community
- collaborate
This is a working session and will not follow traditional teaching schedules. Facilitators will be peers learning along side students and students will be expected to step up and share what they know. We want to use the community to share ideas and to critique work, and it should be a lot of fun.
The session is open to anyone, and we are making arrangements to count the time towards class hours, but will need to talk to each person to see just how that fits into their schedule and the universities.
Don’t have a project yet? Not a problem, sign up right away. We do not know how long this gift offer will last. We are talking with other artists about presenting mini-workshops on cool stuff too, but this experience will be guided by those that participate. (possible topics: bug-bot, arduino/sensor, inflatable, inDesign, paper-craft, nothing definite yet)

We will be meeting at Noon tomorrow (Tuesday) to determing our schedule and to get a tour. The plan will be to have 2 gatherings a week, one during the day and one in the evening. We can also decide to favor a weekend day as well. Please drop me a line if you are attending but know you cannot make it on Tuesday, I will keep you in the loop. james at factorynoir dot com
