  Freeside Atlanta This workshop is the follow-up to Introduction to Basic Mold Making to be held as a “learn by doing” type class where participants will make a mold of an object, with the goal to be knowledge of how to continue making versus a ‘final object’ result. There will be a demonstration and explanation of the ‘whys’ behind mold making as well as a handout defining basic terms and techniques, followed by participants each making their own mold in new materials. This class will also cover Multiple Part Molds and using Rubber Encasement/Mother Molds as well. **Participants will learn how to make an Impression Mold and 2-Part Molding will be discussed. There will be a variety of appropriate items available to mold, but you can bring an object of your own to try provided it has no undercuts. Class size is limited to 12 People (so everyone can have hands on instruction).

(If desired this positive can be fired to hardness and picked up the next week).

• Makerspace Open House

  Freeside Atlanta Freeside Atlanta is a Nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a space for engineers, programmers, inventors, artists, and lunatics to collaborate. We host this meeting every Tuesday so that people can check out the space, chat with members of the organization, and get together to plan projects, events, and classes. We're trying a new format for these meetings, so we'll do a quick meeting to introduce everyone, we'll update folks on the progress of projects and equipment in the space, announce classes and events, and feature a 10-20 minute talk by a guest lecturer on an interesting subject. Afterwards, we'll break out into a more informal open house so people can chat, get tours of the space, and check out the cool stuff around the space. You can get the gate code by emailing no-reply@freesideatlanta.org with the subject gatecode You can also get a preview of our space by checking out our photo tour page on Meetup.   Directions - The Space is in the Metropolitan Warehouse complex on Metropolitan Pkwy near Ralph David Abernathy Blvd, and you can do one of two things to get to it after entering the gates of the complex - 1 - Take a right after entering the gate, then your first left, which is the back side of the complex 2 - To get to the front door, take the first right shown on the map.
