How To ProtoSpace: 3D Printing
Week 3: Roll for Initiative
Ever wanted to turn an idea into something you can actually hold? This week's How To ProtoSpace is all about 3D printing. We'll walk you through how to start printing your own designs in the space.
And because we like a little whimsy: we've built a giant dice tower, and if you roll a natural 20 on it, you'll walk away with a 3D-printed D&D dice tower of your own. Bragging rights and loot, all in one roll.
Whether you're a tabletop veteran, a maker in training, or just curious what all the buzzing and whirring is about, come learn what our printers can do and leave knowing how to make something yourself.
Equipment provided, no experience needed. May the dice be ever in your favor.

Week 4: Press Record
This week we're plugging in and making sound. We'll introduce Ableton Live, the software at the heart of our music studio, and show you how it turns loops, samples, and ideas into full tracks. Then we'll get hands-on with the Ableton Push 3, a tactile instrument that lets you play, sequence, and produce without staring at a screen the whole time. Come tap out a beat, build a melody, and hear how quickly a track comes together.
And Ableton is just the front door. Our music studio is stocked for wherever your sound wants to go: semi-modular synths from Moog, a full Eurorack modular system, drum machines, MIDI controllers, and a mixing setup to tie it all together. Whether you want to produce clean electronic tracks in software or patch cables and chase strange noises on hardware, there's a seat here for you.
No background in music production required, just bring your ears and your curiosity. This is the first stop in our music offerings this semester, and a great way to find out what's poss…

Week 5: Dice Goblins and Mountain Goats
Time to get behind the sewing machines. This week you'll stitch up your own D&D dice bag using custom-printed fabric featuring our very own ProtoSpace characters. It will make the perfect home for your growing dice collection, and a solid follow-up if you snagged a dice tower back in week three.
Never touched a sewing machine? Perfect. We'll walk you through threading, stitching, and finishing, and you'll leave with a finished bag to show for it. Already handy with a needle? Level up and sew a chalk bag instead, built for the climbing wall, ready for your next bouldering session.
Come learn a skill that'll outlast the semester and walk away with something you actually made.
Equipment and materials provided, no experience needed. Thread's already loaded.

Week 6: Cut, Paste, Print
This week we're going analog. Zines are self-published, do-it-yourself little magazines, a way to put whatever's in your head onto paper and share it, no publisher required. We'll roll out our zine cart and show you how to fold, layout, and assemble your own from scratch.
Dig back into the clip art, magazines, and old books from our button week and give them a second life, clip an image, chop up a headline, and collage a page that's entirely yours. Want that authentic vintage clatter? Our old-school typewriters are ready to go, so you can bang out your text the way zinesters have for decades. Rants, comics, poems, tiny manifestos, anything goes.
No writing experience and no art skills required. A zine is whatever you make it, and by the end of the session you'll have one you can copy, fold, and hand to a friend.
Everything provided, bring your ideas, we've got the rest.

Week 7: Sculpt, Render, Repeat
This week we go deep into Blender, the free and shockingly powerful 3D software behind everything from indie animations to Hollywood VFX. It's the tool that turns the 3D printing and scanning you've seen earlier this semester into things you design from the ground up.
We'll cover three ways in: digital sculpting, where you push and pull virtual clay into whatever form you can imagine; rendering, turning your models into polished images with real lighting and materials; and procedural geometry with geometry nodes, where you build shapes with logic and math instead of by hand, small tweaks, wildly different results.
Blender has a reputation for being intimidating, but that's exactly why we're here to guide you in. No experience needed, just come ready to make something weird and wonderful.
Equipment provided. Bring your imagination, leave with new skills.

Participants learn and practice historical and modern paper marbling patterns that were developed for embellishing the end papers of books. Considerations and use of metallic paint are discussed as are ideas on how to use simple, harmonious color palettes using the color wheel. Participants also learn overmarbling, a technique where one pattern is superimposed upon another to create a magnificent and complex play of pattern. Participants leave the workshop with up to thirty sheets of marbled papers.

Pietro Accardi began marbling more than thirty-five years ago at his father’s printing press. As a self-taught marbler, he developed his own unique perspective and understanding of marbling through much trial and error.

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 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.

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!
