Workshops

Hosting workshops

Are you the curious type?

Members get free access to public workshops and supplies. Don't see a workshop on the calendar that meets your interests? Ask around and see if anyone else has an interest, you might be the last straw which makes a workshop happen.

Interested in Teaching?

  1. Pick a topic
  2. DO IT!
  3. Guage interest from the membership
  4. Pick a date (non-meeting date)
  5. Talk to a Board member to get your event advertised and put on the calendar

Safety Third

When completing your membership application you will be shown the location of all building exits, fire extinguishers, and the first aid kit. It is your job to watch out for your own safety. YOU NEED TO BE QUALIFIED BEFORE YOU CAN USE ANY POWERTOOLS! You must talk to the Bloominglabs safety zsar or a qualified qualifier and take a brief safety course before you are allowed to use any power tool. Usually this is a fast process that only takes a moment of your time, and you can be qualified on multiple tools in one sitting.
