basic soldering workshop with noise thing
1-5pm (ongoing) Saturday March 17th
$15
We made a fun noise circuit kit to teach people soldering at the art fair, and we’ve got some left. Do you want to come learn to solder and make something which produces cute/horrid sounds? $15 covers materials and some semi-attentive team teaching. Show up any time between 1pm and 5pm with $15 and expect to leave smart, happy and only slightly poorer an hour or so later. No pre-registration required but it wouldn’t hurt to email us and let us know you’re coming.
