The goal of the '''woodworking workshop''' is to build wood sculptures out of found materials, and to learn various tools and techniques in the process. We will start with an introduction of the most useful basic tools (hammer, screwdriver, sandpaper, rasp, saw, chisel, ...), explain what can go wrong when using those tools, and what to pay attention to when using them; and then give you the tools to work freely on your own design. While we're starting with a very basic premise we're hoping that the open-endedness of this task will surface some very creative designs... | The goal of the '''woodworking workshop''' is to build wood sculptures out of found materials, and to learn various tools and techniques in the process.

We ask that you bring any materials you would like to use for your sculpture: found wood, old plastic containers, textiles, string, ... While we do have wood and other materials at the Hackspace we'd rather have you learn about the logistics of finding, assessing and transporting your own raw materials as preparation for this event. (Get in touch if you're looking for ideas about where to find materials; or discuss with the other families.) | We ask that you bring any materials you would like to use for your sculpture: found wood, old plastic containers, textiles, string, ...

For safety reasons this workshop is restricted to older children/teenagers. We want you to work freely, but we ask that all younger participants are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who can ensure their safety; while we're very happy to provide guidance we can't provide enough supervision to take care of every participant all the time. | For safety reasons this workshop is restricted to older children/teenagers.

The goal of the '''printmaking workshop''' is to make colour prints from found materials, and to learn various tools and techniques in the process. We will start with an introduction to the process: glue materials to a surface (string, leaves, sand, ...), paint it once it's dry, cover with paper or cloth and apply pressure; then we will let you prepare your own prints, and provide guidance and assistance. We can provide a bookbinding press if needed.
