Lynn Open Studios: What Have We Got for You?

Saturday’s the big day! Lynn Open Studios is happening once again, including the Lydia Pinkham studios, Lynn Arts, GALA, the Lynn Museum and this year, The Brickyard Collaborative!

We’re planning a “Mini Maker Fair” at the Lynn Museum, and here are a few of the things you’ll see:

Laser cutting with the Glowforge

We’re going to have a Glowforge video showing the machine in action, and samples of projects cut with it, along with handouts and your own coloring and painting projects!  The Glowforge can cut through wood, plastic, leather, and a host of other materials with ease and remarkable precision.

3D Printing – Demonstrations and Giveaways

If you’ve always been interesting in what 3D printing is all about, now’s your chance to see printers in action, along with some fairly hilarious results ( T-Rex with a top hat and monocle?  Yup, we got that!). Be sure to grab a sample before they’re gone!

The Brickyard Forge

In the courtyard, we’re setting up our forge and anvil and working some red-hot steel right before your eyes!  Blade-smithing, forge-welding, tempering and hardening processes, you’ll see it all!

Woodworking

Our Brickyard woodworkers have put together several kits for you to assemble, and even decorate!  Birdhouses, feeders, boxes and more – put them together, or just decorate and paint them, and take them home!

Electronics, Fun with LEDs and Coding

Arduino, Raspberry Pi?  LEDs and coding?  Get a hands-on introduction to this fun, but remarkably useful technology with our Pi kits and more!

Vacuum Forming and Molding

Try your hand at molding, cutting out and decorating your very own molded parts with our VaquForm machine!

T-Shirt Printing

Check out our T-Shirt Printing using a Vinyl Heat Press, and take home a shirt of your own!

and MORE!

…like, a Dog-Tag Printing Machine, maybe?  Seriously, where else are you going to find a machine like this?  Come, learn how, and make your own dogtags!  A Maker For Sale, Sale Table?  We got that too, for your handcrafted, gift-giving pleasure!

We’ll be at the Lynn Museum from 1PM to 4PM on Saturday (Nov 20th).  Be sure to stop by, learn more about The Brickyard Collaborative and check out all the other exciting stuff happening in Lynn this weekend!

See you there!
