String Art
Saturday, 5-7 pm
$25 | 12 person maximum capacity
We know you’ve been raised in believing you shouldn’t cross the strings, that it “would be bad”. But just in case you’re a little fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing, try to imagine how cool it would look on your wall. Hammers are bad though – important safety tip, thanks Egon…
You will hammer a design (choices made at sign up) using nails onto a plank of wood, and coil your string in chosen colours around the nails. Mounting not included.
Silhoutte Jars

Faeries, tree spirits, fantastical beasts – whatever you want to call them – live in the world around us in secret. Rumour has it that if you leave a special twinkle jar out, you might be able to catch a glimpse of their shadow within.
You will make a silhouette mason jar with your choice of fairy, Totoro, or dragon; materials and battery powered light provided.

Deathstar Pokéball
Sunday, 2-4 pm
$25 | 10 person maximum
What could possibly happen when two worlds collide?? Could the science of a Pokeball be related to the Force? Could Luke have destroyed the Death Star (spoiler!) if space Pokemon existed? Is 42 really the answer? Bring two fandoms together in the third dimension and discuss the possibilities while using Perler beads to geek out!
You will make a medium to large Death Star Poke ball made out of Perler beads, mounted on a canvas; all materials except mounting hardware provided.
