Revision as of 11:08, 16 August 2011
One of the basic tenets of Makers Local 256 is education.
- People with the knowledge to teach others should make a potential class known.
- People interested in taking any listed classes should make that desire known.
Ideas on improving classes
Current Classes
Proposed Classes
Drawing 101 with Cherryblossom!
This is a basic introduction to drawing. You are welcome if you are a seasoned artist or if you have never thought of a pencil as anymore than a writing utensil. We will be discussing drawing techniques and materials. If you are interested, make sure to drop me (heather@tackystar.com) a line, so I can start preparing!
- Cost : Free, but you provide your own pencils (I will have some onhand for the 'just trying it out' crowd)
- Materials : I highly recommend the Kimberly Brand Graphite Pencil Pack, but any pack of multiple graphite pencils will do. Also, bring a pink pearl eraser (you know, the schoolkid one) and a kneaded eraser for the more studious guys.
- Dates pending while garnering more interest
Beer Brewing - with Enabrintain
The Complete Torrent User's Guide to Usenet - PsychoAU
Date\Time: TBD
Description: It pains me to see the amount of people who still cling to the idea that BitTorrent is the greatest way to download things. This is far from the truth. This class will show you how to get started with Usenet. Why worry about which company is monitoring your IP? Why wait on that one seeder to actually leave his computer on long enough to get more seeds? Why watch a file get to 98% only for that one seed to disappear? My friends, there is a better way. Learn everything you need to know about Usenet... from NZBs to PAR2s... from Retention to Completion... Max out your internet connection with every download. These things, plus more will be covered in this class. Sign up today! -- PsychoAU
