    Garden Irrigation Systems

    Never let your plants get thirsty again!

    Do you love gardening but lack the energy for watering all your enthusiastic plant purchases? Are you like me and the phrase "just one more tomato plant, I'm sure I have room for it" haunt you by August? Join us as we explore the wonderful world of creating your own irrigation system. Schedule or manually turn on your spigot and away it goes!

    This class has two parts.

    In part one we'll cover types of irrigation you can use, the pro's and cons, and what material is ideal. We'll also include some piping best practices and how to prepare your system for winter.

    Part two participants are encouraged to bring in their garden layout and start planning their system. We will also be learning how to solder, use some basic piping tools, and making out own manifolds for our irrigation system.

    Participants will take home a PVC manifold, if participants would prefer a copper one, please reach out to the instructor at cory.due@tcmaker.org.

    About the Instructor

    Master templates for pattern routing parts

    Learn how to use templates to make repeatable and precise parts with the bandsaw and router.

    Learn how to move beyond straight lines and simple angles using the magic of templates. In this class, you will move beyond straight edges to create complex curves and repeatable parts with precision and repeatability. With this skill, you will be able to produce everything from curved furniture legs and curved table tops to serving trays handles and guitar bodies.

    Experience Level

    Confident use of a router and bandsaw is required.

    Skills You Will Learn

    (1) We will learn how to safely cut out excess material on the bandsaw to prepare for a template, (2) master the use of flush-trim bits on the router table, and (3) practice techniques to prevent "tear-out" on curved profiles. After this class, you will be able to design and use custom templates to create parts and components for any project.

    What to Bring

    • Clothing suitable for the wood shop. Wear close
    • toed shoes and avoid loose, dangling clothing and accessories. Eye and hearing protection is required. Dust masks and eye/ear protection are available to borrow but bringing your own is recommended.

    Our wiki (wiki.tcmaker.org) needs an overhaul, and we need a group of volunteers to pull it off. Expect a glass of wine, collaboration with fellow makers, and a better-organized collective knowledge base.

    No experience needed! Bring a laptop since we'll likely only have one PC set up, but keep in mind this first meeting will be heavily focused on planning, styling, and structure.

    We'll be starting fresh with a MediaWiki (like Wikipedia) installation, pulling from the current Wiki.js setup for source material—at least for the parts that aren't wildly out-of-date.

    Jewelry Studio Open Hours

    ~ This is a drop-in, drop-out event. Come as you please. TCM members do not need to RSVP, just show up! ~

    Bring your raw metals and get guidance from experts!

    Join silversmithing instructor Abby Schneider for Open Studio in the jewelry department! Drop in and out, or come for the whole time, it doesn't matter! We're here to hang out, listen to music, and build a community of people making beautiful things. 

    No prior jewelry experience is necessary or assumed, and this event can also serve as your orientation for the jewelry department. This is a time for getting together with other artists for community, advice/direct assistance on projects, and learning about safely using the advanced tools.

    You can even come if you don't make jewelry but are just curious about the techniques involved in small metalworking. My hope is to build a knowledge-sharing community of practice. Everyone is welcome.

    If you're not a member, this is a great way to try out TCM's jewelry tools and see if the space is for you. Bring some raw metal and have some fun! 

    If there are no users who bring raw metal, that is also completely okay! In that case, Abby will be there running a jewelry demonstration.

    This event is for you if:

    • You are a TCM member who wants to make jewelry but you don't know where/how to start
    • You already know metalworking and want to help me build a community of practice. Make progress on a tough project, show off your work, or tackle a new idea!
    • You're not a member of TCM but want to make jewelry. You can try out our range of jewelry tools and equipment to learn what's what before you sink lots of money into starter tools
    • You want to hang out with me and drink tea and listen to jazz

    Build an iconic Sedia Chair by Enzo Mari

    Build a piece of design history while mastering the fundamentals of efficient, honest design using Enzo Mari’s Autoprogettazione from 1974.

    In 1974, Italian designer Enzo Mari released Autoprogettazione, a project to teach ‘self-design’ through the process of making. In this three-session intensive, we will build the most iconic Sedia chair. You will learn to look past complex joinery and learn "design by making." This class is ideal for all makers of any skill level wanting to design what they build. Students are free to follow the plan or add more complex joinery. Lumber is not included with registration fee. An estimated material cost ranges from $80 to $100 for 4-5 1x6 select pine boards with a precise list provided to the students before class.

    Experience Level

    Confident use of a miter saw and drill is required.

    Skills You Will Learn

    (1) You will learn to interpret the Autoprogettazione drawings to create a cut list from standard dimensional lumber, (2) master efficient cross-cutting and assembly, and (3) explore the principles that make this "box-like" chair surprisingly comfortable. After this class, you will have completed a Sedia chair and gained a new perspective on how simple materials can be elevated into high-end design objects.

    What to Bring

    • Clothing suitable for the wood shop.
    • Wear close toed shoes and avoid loose, dangling clothing and accessories. Eye and hearing protection is required. Dust masks and eye/ear protection are available to borrow but bringing your own is recommended.

    Intro to Relief Printing

    Interested in printmaking? Learn the basics of relief printing by carving your own linoleum block and running an edition of your print!

    Printmaking is a fun, relatively easy way to make art that you can mass produce yourself. Relief printmaking is one of the most common, accessible forms and is a great place to start if you are new to the medium. In this class we will be carving linoleum, a soft, Eco-friendly composite that is easy to carve. Together we will cover various techniques to make creating your design and carving it easier, as well as give you the tools and knowledge to keep making once this class is completed. To finish the class we will run an edition of your unique print in ink, so you will have multiple copies of your piece to keep, trade, or share!

    What to Bring/Wear

    Wear close-toed shoes. The maker space is a busy place and it is always good practice! Bring hair ties if needed and avoid loose jewelry and clothing. We will be working with sharp blades after all!

    About the Instructor

    Hi! My name is Evie Redding. I am a recent graduate of Grinnell College where I got degrees in Studio Art and Anthropology. In art I specialize in ceramics and printmaking (keep an eye out for my upcoming ceramics classes!) and I do biological archaeology for anthro. For the past three years I worked at my school's maker space as the head of the Tech studio, and I recently moved to the Twin Cities to pursue opportunities in art. I live with my partner, our two cats, and my leopard gecko! I love to make art and learn new things, and I am always happy to answer any questions sent my way!

    Introduction to MIG Welding

    Add welding to your DIY skillset with this introductory course.

    Learn the basics of MIG welding and walk away with your own small wall-mounted coat hanger. In this class you will learn a basic welding framework to use on your own projects at home or in the TC Maker shop. Safety, machine basics, gas choice and set-up, as well as basic tools will all be covered. For folks starting from zero knowledge to those who have welded in the past and would like to brush-up, this class emphasizes that everyone can be a welder and make their own project dreams come true. Class size is kept small to encourage participation and time with the instructor.

    What to Bring

    Bring a pair of welding gloves. Recommendations are ones that are thinner for dexterity. Examples are Black Stallion MIG gloves or Vulcan TIG gloves  (both work for MIG welding). 

    Participants should be wearing close-toed shoes and clothing that is 100% cotton or wool. Jeans or similar material without holes are also recommended. No synthetic fibers. Improper attire may require participants to withdraw at time of class without refund. If you have questions regarding proper attire, please reach out to the instructor.

    Refund Policy

    Up To 7 Days Before the Event Starts.

    Our wiki (wiki.tcmaker.org) needs an overhaul, and we need a group of volunteers to pull it off. Expect a glass of wine, collaboration with fellow makers, and a better-organized collective knowledge base.

    No experience needed! Bring a laptop since we'll likely only have one PC set up, but keep in mind this first meeting will be heavily focused on planning, styling, and structure.

    We'll be starting fresh with a MediaWiki (like Wikipedia) installation, pulling from the current Wiki.js setup for source material—at least for the parts that aren't wildly out-of-date.

    What tools do we have? Where are they? What do they look like?

    Our wiki (wiki.tcmaker.org) needs an overhaul, and we need a group of volunteers to pull it off. Expect a glass of wine, collaboration with fellow makers, and a better-organized collective knowledge base.

    No experience needed! Bring a laptop since we'll likely only have one PC set up, but keep in mind this first meeting will be heavily focused on planning, styling, and structure.

    We'll be starting fresh with a MediaWiki (like Wikipedia) installation, pulling from the current Wiki.js setup for source material—at least for the parts that aren't wildly out-of-date.

    Forming

    • Rolling mill, steel/rubber blocks, hammers & mallets, mandrels, swage blocks, wire wrapping

    Cutting and Reducing

    • Files, sandpaper, jeweler's saw (and how to replace its blades), shears, hand cutters, rotary tool bits

    Joining

    • Solder and when to use each type, solder picks, torch, flux, fume extraction, pickle

    Polishing

    • Rotary tool options for detail polishing
    • Bench buffer for mass polishing

    Various Jigs and Miscellaneous

    • Miter jig, wax ring blank cutting
    • Scrap metal rules

    Casting

    • Wax carving and mold creation

    Conclusion

    We will end by discussing what's next for the jewelry department, how to get involved, and where to find resources for learning more.

    Happy making!

    This workshop will explore the art of block printing, one of the more accessible of printing styles. Students will start out by planning their image idea, and then learn basic carving and inking techniques in prep of the final process of printing their block. A small edition of original numbered fine art prints will be run. If time permits, participants can take another step to dive into reductive printmaking, by additional carving away parts of the original block, to then add another layer with a different ink color. The possibilities of this unique art form are truly endless!

    This is orientation required for use of the metal shop at TC Maker Minneapolis.  We explain our equipment, safety procedures, storage and training requirements for our more advanced tools.   Also provide recommendations for PPE, consumables and other things to help make your use of the metal shop effective for you and our other members.  

    At 6:45 we will do a brief training for use of the metal shear, which requires in-person checkoff.  Following that, you will be allowed to use our 4' sheet metal shear.  You can attend either or both sessions if you wish.

    Please be on time and let me know if you cannot attend. Thank you
