What: Laser cutter and Vinyl cutter workshop
When: Saturday, 23 March 2019, 12:00noon - 1:00pm
Cost: Free

Ned will teach briefly how to use both the big laser cutter and the vinyl cutter, with more time spend on either depending on crowd interest. Time will not be devoted on a related topic: "how to generate an SVG file to bring to either piece of equipment"; instead the focus will be specifically in the proprietary software that belongs with each piece of equipment and how to setup the hardware.

What: Tea Tasting & Crochet Hat/Scarf Class
When: Friday, 22 March 2019, 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Cost: Free

We donated 100 items of handmade winter hats/scarves/ear warmers this winter thanks to donations of yarn, time and making from LVL1 members.

To thank everyone Amy Shah is hosting a Tea Tasting with light refreshments during Friday movie night on March 22, 2019. If you are at all interested in making a simple hat or scarf with crochet, Amy will be available to teach at that time.

All you need: bring your own yarn and crochet hook (or you can likely borrow those of the space just to learn).
