A flyer for a Getting Started with Cricut workshop in the Thun Library Makerspace that focuses on the questions: What is a Cricut? How do you use one? What materials can it cut? What type of projects can you make?

Getting Started with Cricut 

Tuesday, September 23

5pm to 6:30pm

Join us for a workshop exploring all things Cricut! In this workshop, you’ll learn how the Cricut works, what materials it uses, and the types of projects you can make with a smart cutter. You’ll also come away with a customized bag!

If you can't join us for this workshop, we will be holding another one in November!

Registration is required for this event. All attendees will need access to Adobe Express and a laptop/tablet.

Due to limited space, capacity for each workshop caps at 6. If you register for a workshop, and we reach capacity, you’ll receive an email with other opportunities to learn more about the Cricut. Please reach out to Annamarie Given (axg6125@psu.edu) with questions.

Sense-Sation Stations: Junk Journaling in the Makerspace

Wednesday, September 24

12:15pm to 1:15pm

Bring your junk and journal with us in the makerspace! Junk journaling provides an outlet to record your memories, thoughts, ideas, and inspirations in a tangible and tactile way.

We will offer 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 encourage you to find other items to bring that make sense to you! In addition to journals, we will also supply ephemera and art materials to decorate your journal.
