Tinkering Space: The WorkSafeBC Gallery you know and love has a new feature:
Introducing Science World's Maker Studio in the Tinkering Space: WorkSafe BC Gallery!
Learning how to use tools safely and experimenting with different materials is an essential skill for everyone to have and Maker Studio is just the place to go to get the practice and creative space to do so!
In our next Maker Studio, get ready for warmer weather and refine your sewing skills by learning how to sew your own scrunchie! We will have everything you need to make one (including a no-sew option!) but you are welcome to bring your own fabrics to upcycle into a scrunchie, too!
You'll learn the basics of sewing on a sewing machine, threading elastic, and hand stiching in this Maker Studio project that you can proudly wear out of the gallery when you're done!
Join us after school on May 14, 15, and 16 and drop in between 3:00 and 5:00 to participate. With the help of our makers and seamstresses, question, imagine, create and test your very own scrunchie design while reflecting on the safety and correct use of the tools while completing your project.
Good stuff for you to know:
- Maker Studio activities are included in the price of admission.
- You can keep what you make!
- Maker Studios happen in Tinkering a couple times per month — if you're visiting Science World on a day there is a Maker Studio, you can check in for free in the gallery on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Activities are recommended for makers age 12+ and require a safety orientation.
- Please note: Space is limited — we can accommodate a maximum of 6-8 participants at a time and the activity takes around 20-30 minutes to complete. A sign up list will be available if needed.
