What to Expect:
Prepare to roll up your sleeves and get creative! During this meetup, we'll harness the power of upcycling by repurposing textile scraps into practical and eco-friendly alternatives to single-use plastics. Together, we'll learn how to craft reusable food wraps that are not only functional but also contribute to reducing waste in our environment.
The Manufacturing Meetup Group is FORGE's regular community group for any startups that interface with manufacturing, supply chain, and physical product development. It will provide the opportunity to learn about manufacturing-related topics, connect with each other, and share wins and challenges.
This recurring event, dedicated to the joys of knitting and crochet, offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with fellow crafters in a setting that's both warm and welcoming. Scheduled for the 4th Sunday of every month from 12pm to 3pm, this meetup is a haven for those looking to dive into their projects, exchange ideas, and foster a vibrant, creative community.
Join us for a unique gathering of minds and spirits at our upcoming Maker's Networking Lunch! This event is perfect for makers and aspiring makers who are in the initial stages of turning their creative visions into reality. This group focuses on those early, formative moments of product and business development, offering a nurturing environment for ideas to bloom and ventures to find their footing. For those with an established physical product, we suggest the ”Maker-to-Market" meetups.
What to Expect:
Even using templates, there will be plenty of room for origination and creative risk-taking with exciting possibilities! We will also learn how to apply glaze over-top our leather hard clay bodies and the many different ways one can approach glazing: sgraffito, all-over patterning, ombre etc. Bring a friend along and enjoy the process together. This class is about getting our hands dirty, having fun through the process and making something beautiful.
Begin by passing the online portion of badging for the Tormek. Take the quiz to earn your badge, and then bring your own knives and scissors to practice your newfound skills. If you're feeling generous, lend a hand to MakeHaven by sharpening some blades in need.
What to Expect:
This meetup is all about a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Expect a collaborative space where you can freely discuss your polymer clay projects, learn from others, and enjoy the creative energy in the room. It's not just about the clay; it's about the community of makers coming together.
