    1. Free Steampunk Craft Drop-In
      11:30 AM – 4:00 PM

      Guest hosted by Tracey Ernst of The Steam Wench’s Salon and Van­cou­verites for Steam­punk. This is a very infor­mal event, on a drop-in basis. If you have a project you’d like to work on, want to tin­ker on some­thing new, or just want to come and hang out with other steam­punks work­ing on their projects and social­ize, come join us!

      WHAT WE PROVIDE:
      – An open work­space with very large tables
      – A domes­tic sewing machine
      – Tracy’s tools, includ­ing hot-glue gun, Gorilla Super Glue, E6000 (both will glue light­weight metal), var­i­ous pli­ers and snips, scis­sors, sewing shears, mea­sur­ing tape, pins, seam rip­pers, and pen­cils and pens
      – A cou­ple of boxes of scrap metal bits and found jew­elry stuff
      – Some ref­er­ence books for ideas / inspiration

      WHAT YOU CAN BRING:
      – Your­self
      – Your cur­rent project
      – What­ever you want to work with
      – Tools
      – Any stuff you want to share / trade / donate

      There are only three restric­tions, which are in place so every­one can respect the work­space we’ve been donated, as well as respect one another and one another’s projects:

      1. No projects which are too indus­trial, messy, or highly scented.
      2. Food and bev­er­ages can ONLY be con­sumed behind the back counter.
      3. Respect and share:respect the space we are gen­er­ously loaned, respect your fel­low crafters, and share the small space.

      Also, do note this is a pro­fes­sional work­room, and it is full of very sharp things and pointy bits, and as such is NOT small-child friendly.

      If you’re not sure what to make or have any ques­tions, just ask!
