Member Masterclass: Circuitry & Synth-Making
Digital logic was never meant to be used to make music, so that’s exactly what Jakub Zalesak is going to teach us how to do. In the process, we’ll walk through the process of designing a Printed Circuit Board, learn how to solder beautiful builds, explore the niche world of logic synthesizers from triangles and squares to the hard nasal sound of oscillator sync, and take a peek at the nature of sound and electricity. You will leave with a synth to impress (or annoy) your friends and hopefully new views on what makes sound.

Member Masterclass: Microwave Steam-Bending
Join furniture maker Stefano Santili to learn about steam-bending and how to push the boundaries wood with both steam chambers and microwaves. In this masterclass we will be investigating motives and techniques for steam-bending strips of timber and joinery in order to make 3D structures such as baskets, a light modulators, sculptural forms or your own creative invention!
