Midnight Makers / Late Night Makers Classes

3D printing had a class that started at midnight, because there folks that can’t attend earlier classes. I just submitted for a class on Intro to Bridgeport for Wednesday night starting at 23:59 because most folks think of it as being on Wednesday Night.

I hope others that never go home at normal hours and have a skill would also take part in Midnight Makers. I think there could also be a Late Night Makers series that start say at say 21:00 or 22:00 for those that can’t make the typical 18:00~19:00 start time of classes. I think it would be nice if the selection can be expanded for those willing to assist.

What would be helpful would some idea of areas of interest. I tend to be a night owl. I would love to have some photoshop instruction late or on inkscape.

I need help in software also.

I would be willing to offer later jewelry classes if there was interest or basic sewing or some basic type clay work late

@Cairenn_Day I am often a night owl on the weekends and would be happy to help with photoshop. Don’t know inkscape though.

That would be great, I for one would be there. I haven’t really used PS for over 7 years, beyond rusty, severe corrosion.

More than happy to help any way I can.

Yay Midnight Makers! :smiley:

'n yuppers ~ I made a point to schedule the first Midnight Maker classes at at 11:45 PM on the night I wanted to have them, so they would show up on the calendar on the night that was ending for most; but, beginning for us night owls! :wink:

It would be really neat to learn how to use the Bridgeport! Unless I am recovering from surgery at that time, I will plan on being there! :slight_smile:

For you I’ll schedule a “Recovering Makers class”.

We are definitely going to have to get our own Midnight Makers shirt.

Hahaha… That’d Make for an Awesome shirt! :smile:

'n thanks for the consideration… Of course, then we’ll be fielding the question, “recovering from… what?!!” :wink:

I LOVE it, but I am also The Howling Artist. Yep, always been a night owl.

I may stay late on Sat night, always things I can work on. I am the short fat lady with her hair on top of her head that hangs out in the Creative Arts room or I may be out in the ;foundry /jewelry area. I would love to meet up with you and get some help.

Make it a play on the legendary “Three Wolf Moon” T-shirt and it would be brilliant.

@uglyknees Okay Nicole, if Midnight Makers gets off and running this might be a something for CA to sponsor: A Shirt Design Project; Concept through the Silk Screening. How Makery is that?

I agree @Photomancer! @uglyknees There should totes be a midnight class for stuff.

Well you midnight people - lets talk about what type of supplies you would need and lets get things rolling. I’m not a night owl but I would be fully willing to see what we need to do to make people happy with art at any hour.
Dang that sounded like a commercial.
Who wants to teach? What do you want to teach? Let’s start at point one.

Or if people know teachers let me know.

I am willing to teach a variety of jewelry classes, anything from simple make and take projects (even stringing) to more involved like foldforming, roller printings, etc.

I would just need to know what folks are interested in

All you Children of the Night or ones that can’t make earlier classes at say 22:00 or Midnight, what interest is out there and for what classes. The goal is to find people to teach what you need.

Thanks

Same things that are needed for regular classes, just need to find out what is desired. Nothing special other than the time being taught.

Well, some people will want massive quantities of caffeine…

If you need caffeine IMHO you are not a true Child of the Night, you are merely up past your bed time.

Since we no longer have a coffee machine, not sure what the answer is … other than bringing yourself some Kreurig cups.

There are some cases for a Child of the Night needing caffeine. For caffeine I noticed there are some flavors of Monster, not my preferred flavors but c’est la vie, in the break room. My natural biorhythm is bed at 4am wake up 9-10, however my weekday schedule calls for leaving the house at 5:45am. Weekends I’m good, during the week, you better believe I’m kicking back energy drinks to stay up past 11. Won’t be around tonight, state fair tomorrow, but should be around Saturday evening if anyone wants to brush up on Photoshop.

There is a Kruerig machine by the sink in the main hallway. The last time I used one, or at least one similar was when I was working in Italy 10 years ago. Only theirs produced a highly viscous brew that might fill a shot glass.

Will see what can be done.
