Wear Your Words! A Pin-Making Workshop
Tuesday, October 7, 2025
Pins, or buttons, carry a long history as wearable identifiers that allow people to express their devotion to a cause, political stance, band, or brand. During this workshop, we created our own pins, celebrated freedom of expression during Banned Books Week, and learned more about the history of pin-back buttons.

Sense-Sation Stations: Junk Journaling in the Makerspace
Wednesday, September 24, 2025
Junk journaling provides an outlet to record your memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspirations in a tangible and tactile way. During this event, we offered journals to store your "junk" for this creative, sustainable, and hands-on event. Common junk journals include ephemera such as receipts, concert tickets, notes, and stickers, but we encouraged participants to bring their own "junk" as well!
