Posted

CALLICOON, NY — The North School Studio will present a weekend of workshops focusing on the new technology of 3D printing. It all starts on Friday, August 28, with a Kids’ Arts and Crafts Circuitry Workshop from 10 to 11 a.m. Aimed at kids ages six to 14, the workshop will take place at the Delaware Free branch of the Western Sullivan Public Library, and will teach the basics of circuitry and design thinking.

Also at the library, from 1 to 5 p.m. on Friday there will be a 3D Printer Assembly Workshop with Messfab, an intensive introduction to digital fabrication through custom fabrication. Participants will build their own 3D printer from the ground up, including technical operation and maintenance that would otherwise be typical for only advanced users. The workshop will be led by the Messfab design team and will be suitable for those with all levels of experience, including kids and adults.

On Saturday, August 29, there will be an Inflatable Architecture Workshop from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with a break for lunch, at The Western Hotel’s Harmonie Hall, presented by Foamspace and Organization for Spatial Practice. From 1 to 4 p.m., there will be a 3D printing workshop that will include a display of Friday’s work.

All day long on Saturday at the Callicoon Weigh Station and Silos, there will be a community porch hang-out, with basic introductions to 3D printing. Then from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Western Hotel, there will be presentations by North School Studio, M-App, Foam Space, FarmCoin, c2renew, Organization for Spatial Practice, Perri Institute, Messfab, Parsons Making Center and Upper Delaware & Digital Fabrication.

Closing the event, there will be a networking party at Callicoon Trading, 24 Upper Main St., from 9:30 p.m. to 12 midnight. This is an opportunity for you or your organization to connect with these innovative companies, gain new digital fabrication capabilities and support local tech education.
