How To ProtoSpace: Machine Embroidery
Week 9: Stitched by Design
Welcome back from fall break, we're picking things up with thread and pixels. This week introduces machine embroidery, where a digital design becomes a physical, stitched-out pattern on fabric. We'll work in Inkscape, a free vector design tool, using the Ink/Stitch extension to turn your artwork into embroidery you can wear.
Then we hand it off to our embroidery machine and watch it stitch your creation into being. You'll leave understanding the full pipeline, from a shape on the screen to a finished design. It pairs naturally with the sewing skills from week five, and opens the door to customizing just about any fabric you can hoop.
No design or embroidery experience needed, just bring an idea and we'll help you stitch it out.
Equipment and materials provided. Let's make it stick.

Week 10: Print by the Numbers
3D printing is back, and this week we're going deeper. We're running alongside a class meeting in ProtoSpace this week, so it's a perfect moment to jump in, whether you're part of that course or just want to build on what you saw back in week three. We'll have premade designs ready to print, so you can walk away with a finished object no matter your experience level.
But the real focus is on making models that make themselves. We'll dig into OpenSCAD, a tool that lets you build 3D objects with code instead of by hand — type a few parameters, and watch a design generate itself. Want ten versions of a part, each a little different? Change a number instead of starting over. It's a whole new way to think about design: precise, repeatable, and endlessly tweakable.
Whether you want to hit print and go or learn to generate your own models from scratch, there's a track here for you.
Equipment provided, no experience needed. Let the code do the modeling.

Registration required for online attendance: https://utah.zoom.us/meeting/register/_u6rQxoqS3SiJ_9Pl-LIhA
Light refreshments will be provided.
Colonial archives are often shaped by the systems of knowledge and organizational priorities of those who made decisions about which documents to preserve in an archive. In this session, Dr. Laura Blomvall (Engagement Manager, AM) introduces colonial archives digitized by AM and available at the University of Utah through the practice of reading against the grain: a critical methodology that examines how language and archival silences reflect colonial systems of power. Through examples from a range of primary sources, from institutional records to first-hand testimony, the session will consider how critical source analysis can reveal perspectives and experiences that colonial documents sought to obscure, exclude or control.

Week 11: Capture the Real World
If 3D printing turns a digital design into a physical object, this week we run it in reverse. Working with everyday things and pulling them into the computer as detailed 3D models. We'll introduce our lineup of 3D scanners and show you how to get started.
Each scanner has its own specialty: From the smallest details to scanning entire buildings and landscapes, we have equipment available for everyone at the university.
Scanning pairs perfectly with everything else this semester: capture an object, tweak it in Blender, and print a new version of it. No experience needed, just curiosity and something worth scanning.
Equipment provided. Bring an object, leave with a model.

Week 12: From Screen to Seam
We’ve been obsessed with Dressmaker, the game where you design, pattern, and sew dresses to satisfy the townsfolk. This week is a chance to learn how it’s done in the real world. CLO3D is fashion-industry software that lets you build garments in 3D, draping virtual fabric on a digital body, adjusting the fit, and seeing exactly how a piece will look and move before a single stitch is sewn. We'll cover the basics of building a pattern and getting a garment to come together on screen.
Then comes the part that makes it real: we'll export your pattern to our vinyl cutter and plot it out full-size on paper. That means you leave not just with a digital design, but with true-to-scale pattern pieces ready to trace, cut, and sew. It's the bridge between digital fashion design and an actual garment you could make and it connects right back to the sewing skills from earlier this semester.
No fashion or design background needed, just come curious about how clothes get made.

Children six- to eighteen-years old are welcome to bring an adult friend or family member to explore bookmaking through the lens of a naturalist. Each participant creates two books: a folded book form with pockets for found materials and a sewn book made of recycled materials to document findings in the wild. The workshop covers simple stamp-making and embellishments. After the workshop, head outside to observe, collect, and connect with the natural world that awaits!

Week 13: Patch, Sequence, Play
Way back in week four we opened the door to music production with Ableton and the Push 3. This week we walk all the way in. We're setting up shop in the audio studio with the full electronic setup running, and showing you how Ableton ties together a room full of hardware into a full musical performance..
This is the deep end, in the best way. We'll bring the synthesizers to life, Moog's Mother-32 and DFAM, the Behringer 2600, and our full Eurorack modular system all synced and sequenced through Ableton. You'll see how a track gets built live: patch a sound, sequence a pattern, layer it up, and hear a whole arrangement come together from a room full of blinking, buzzing machines.
You don't need to know any of this gear to enjoy it, come watch the studio run at full tilt, then get your hands on it yourself. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.
Equipment provided. Come make the whole room sing.

Week 15: Make It Last
Back from the Thanksgiving break, we're getting practical. This week is about keeping the clothes you already own in your fashion rotation, no new fabric, no new garment, just the skills to repair and adjust what's in your closet. It's the kind of know-how that saves you money and keeps good clothes out of the landfill.
We'll start with hemming: how to shorten a pair of pants to the right length and finish them so they look like they came that way. Then we'll get into sashiko, a Japanese technique for visible mending. Instead of hiding a repair, you make it a feature, reinforcing worn spots with bold, beautiful running-stitch patterns. A hole becomes a design choice. It's a natural next step from the sewing skills earlier this semester, and it stands on its own if this is your first time at a machine or needle.
No experience needed, bring a pair of pants that need hemming or a favorite piece worth saving, and leave knowing how to keep it around for years.

It's reading day, finals are looming, and your brain has earned a break. This week we're trading the workshop for a hangout, come blow off some steam before finals with the library's video game and board game collections, and remember that we've got games you can actually check out and take home with you.
Grab a controller and see what's in our video game collection, or gather some friends around a table and dig into our board games, everything from quick party games to deeper strategy sessions. No skills to learn, no project to finish, no pressure. Just show up, play something, and let your brain reset for a bit. And when you head into finals, you'll know exactly where to come when you need to check out a game and unwind.
No experience, no registration, no stress. Just come play.
