Gathering musicians, enthusiasts, and curious minds to connect, collaborate, and share their passion for synthesis. BYO synth encouraged!

Join us at NYC Resistor, a makerspace in Brooklyn for an electrifying Synthesizer Night! Get ready to unleash your creativity, explore sonic landscapes, and connect with fellow synth enthusiasts in an evening dedicated to the mesmerizing world of synthesizers. This is a pay-what-you-wish event (recommended donation $8).

Synthesizer Night at NYC Resistor is a celebration of all things synthesizer. Whether you’re a seasoned musician, an avid collector, or simply fascinated by the possibilities of electronic sound, this event offers a unique opportunity to gather with like-minded individuals and revel in the captivating soundscape of synthesizers.

At Synthesizer Night, participants are encouraged to bring their own synthesizers, from vintage analog gems to cutting-edge modular wonders. It’s a chance to showcase your personal setup, experiment with new equipment, and dive into the rich sonic tapestry that synthesizers offer.

For those looking to enhance the collaborative experience, consider arriving early to connect your synthesizer to a MIDI/CV clock. This allows for synchronized timing among all instruments, creating a seamless musical fusion during impromptu jam sessions.

In addition to the collaborative jam sessions, the event provides a unique opportunity for a show and tell/play with anything that attendees bring. Share your favorite gear, experiment with different setups, and engage in hands-on exploration of various synthesizers and electronic music equipment.

The event unfolds in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, providing a platform for musicians, enthusiasts, and curious minds to connect, collaborate, and share their passion for synthesis. Whether you’re a beginner seeking guidance or an expert eager to inspire others, Synthesizer Night is the perfect setting to engage in conversations, exchange knowledge, and foster a vibrant community.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to engage in impromptu jam sessions, where the collective energy of multiple synthesizers intertwines to create awe-inspiring sounds. Experience the joy of collaborating with fellow musicians, experiment with different genres and styles, and let the unique characteristics of each instrument shape your sonic explorations.

Additionally, for those who wish to showcase their skills and perform, there will be dedicated performance slots. Take center stage, captivate the audience, and let your creativity soar as you demonstrate the full potential of your synthesizer setup. To sign up for a performance slot, email [email protected] or join our Discord and post to #synth.

Whether you’re an ardent synth enthusiast, an aspiring musician, or simply curious about the captivating world of synthesizers, Synthesizer Night at NYC Resistor is an event that will inspire, educate, and leave you in awe of the boundless possibilities that electronic sound offers. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in an evening of music, collaboration, and innovation.

May 31 2025 : Beginner Crochet Class: Flower Making **MASKS ON**

 classes  Comments Off on May 31 2025 : Beginner Crochet Class: Flower Making **MASKS ON**
May 202025
 
Learn the basics of crochet, by making two kinds of flowers, and leave with your own handmade earrings or key chain. All materials included.

This is a masks required class. Please stay home if you are sick to prioritize the needs of the our immune compromised community.

The class:

I will teach you how to crochet at a beginner level in general along with the techniques you will need to create two different flowers – a daisy and a forget-me-not! Once you are done with both, we will move on to adding metals and using supplies to either make a keychain or make a second copy and a pair of earrings!

Before starting the flowers, you will choose whether you want to make earrings or a chain or keychain with your flower, and based on that, I’ll help you choose a good hook size to use for your design. If you want to bring your own hooks to use, that’s great too. We will be using green, yellow, white, and blue yarn that we will provide and your ticket purchase will include.

I’m going to go step by step and will be happy to correct your hands, hook, or yarn techniques in person almost like a yoga instructor as I teach you the fundamentals. We will go through how to chain, single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, weave in ends, and how I use the techniques for my crochet earring business where I sell similar products! Once we practice and go through these fundamentals, I’ll apply the techniques for the flower with you following the pattern.

I’ll be showing you and walking through what the instructions mean and how it looks in real time! I’ll teach you how to finish both flowers along with how to weave in the ends of the yarn like I do for my own earrings. Then we will select which metals you need from the Resistor’s supplies and I’ll help you use pliers to attach the metals to the flowers and the keychain circle or earring hooks. If you want to make another copy of one of the earrings to have a matching pair, there will also be time for that if you want to stay longer with me to help you through it a second time.

Who is this class for:

This class is good for someone who has never crocheted before, someone starting out, a beginner, or someone with a little experience who wants to learn to make the flowers and get some spring accessories out of a refresher class, or someone who is more experienced than that but still would benefit from a class on how to crochet some flowers and make earrings or a keychain out of them.

Please reach out for a pay-what-you-can/free ticket if you are unable to purchase a ticket due to a financial barrier. We will have a few need-based spots available if you email [email protected]

The Instructor:
I have been crocheting for many years now, and I am now a small business seller of crochet earrings- on Etsy and on display @ theNonbinarianBike bookstore. I have made hundreds of crochet flowers and designed some of my own for various projects, and love it dearly.
Crocheting has been so much better than I could have guessed for my creative self. It got me through grad school and an unpaid internship, and so many trainings without losing my mind. It is one of my favorite ways to stim as a Neurodivergent while working towards a project. I have a background in mental health and a lot of experience teaching/explaining things/webinar presenting/etc., and I love learning and helping folks gain access to creative therapeutic resources like crafting and crochet.

Please sign up early, as we need 5 students enrolled to run the class.

We are a proactively inclusive space, and prioritize creating opportunities for the whole community to engage with our events, across all identities of race, creed, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical appearance, and ability; please read our Code of Conduct to familiarize yourself with our community’s values before attending.

Harness the power of an Epilog 60 Watt Laser! In this class you’ll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.

In this three hour class, you will learn:

  • How to set up a file for cutting on the laser cutter in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
  • Laser cutter safety including materials testing.
  • Laser cutter operation including configuration, cuts and raster etching in common materials like wood, acrylic, cardboard and others.

  • An SVG vector file of a simple shape you’d like to cut for your first cut.
  • A piece of 1/8 inch or thinner wood, acrylic or cardboard you’d like to cut. If you can’t bring your own material, small pieces will be made available, or larger pieces for purchase on site.
