  Create Coils: Roll the clay on a lightly damped surface with both hands to create an even coil.

  Secure Coils: Learn how to secure your coils by using clay slip and scoring your piece.

  Shape Your Pieces: Learn how to build up layers of coils to form the desired shape.

  Glaze: Add finishing touch by glazing your final piece.

  Let’s Eat! Calling all chili enthusiasts!

  Join us on March 28th for our second annual Chili Cook-Off. This is an opportunity for our community to come together, share space, be warm, and celebrate a love of chili. It is also a chance to share The MINT with friends and family and help us raise funds in support of our programming.

  We will be hosting 10 - 15 local chili competitors. We've also got some local "celebrity" judges!

  Your job? Come hungry! We will be selling MINT-made ceramic bowls for you to fill three times then take home. 

  Eager to commit? Pre-purchase your bowl today for $30 each.

  We will have bowls for sale at the door along with composti-bowls for those with a tighter budget and less cabinet space!

  Event Date: Saturday, March 28th

  About the Class

  Introduction to letterpress, and the joy of designing and printing wet ink on paper.

  A hands on class to learn the process of letterpress printing.  Attendees will be guided through the entire process of planning, preparing a chase with printing blocks, setting up a table top press, inking up a press, and making prints.  

  You will experience all the stages of creating a simple print, how to safely operate the printing equipment, and how to clean up.

  No prerequisites, or material fees.  Printing blocks, paper, and ink will be provided.  

  You will be able to keep any prints you create.

  What You’ll Learn

  • How to set up and operate a letterpress independently.
  • Techniques to enhance your existing letterpress skills.
  • Tips and tricks for achieving precision and creativity in your designs.

  What to Bring

  • Your creativity and any specific ideas or designs you’d like to work on.
  • All tools and materials will be provided.

  Spaces are limited! Reserve your spot and take your letterpress skills to the next level.

  This class is a hands-on continuation of our Intro to CAD session, designed for those who want to apply CAD skills to real-world projects using Onshape, a modern cloud-based CAD tool.

  The class is almost entirely project-based. Attendees will work through guided examples to create:

  • One single-piece part

  • One multi-piece part (2+ components)

  • One example using image tracing and scaling.

  
  

  If time allows, we’ll explore additional examples and work through scenarios based on interests and project needs.

  
  

  This session is ideal for those who want to move beyond the basics and gain confidence using CAD in practical, real-world contexts. We hope to see you there!

  
  

  Pre-requisite: Intro to CAD

  INTRODUCTION TO 3D PRINTING- FDM

  Join us at The MINT for a brief orientation on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing.

  This session covers the different rapid prototyping technologies and a brief history, focusing on FDM 3D printing and how printers work today.

  We’ll review printer parts, safety basics, common printing techniques, and best practices. You’ll also learn where to find design files, how slicing software works, and what settings to focus on.

  The session wraps up with a demo using PrusaSlicer, showing the full process from STL (model) file to print.

  Time permitting, prints will be started during the class, with pickup available if desired.

  This orientation is ideal for anyone new to 3D printing or looking to use The MINT’s FDM printers. Attendees will receive access to the printer reservation calendar after the session.

  We hope to see you there!
