This week we are exploring the MAKESHOP as a laboratory, and looking closely at various objects and materials to discover their properties. We've been identifying things like metal, plastic, and organic matter using magnifying glasses, and then finding places and structures around us that use these things in their making. Pictured is a magnified 3D printed dragon, that was made using plastic filament! #laboratory #magnifyingglass https://ift.tt/2Uc9dKz

We've been busy prototyping! Check out this cool giant balance block that we recently laser cut. All this week we'll be experimenting with the laser cutter to create the parts for various projects. Stop by and see what we're up to! #lasercutting #cardboardart http://bit.ly/2MOWIxH

Happy New Year from all of us at MAKESHOP! Children's Museum always has a blast putting on Countdown to Noon, and this year was no different. The Teaching Artisits had the pleasure of making this year's ball for the drop. And we must say we are pleased with the festive results. Hope everyone is enjoying 2019 so far! #countdowntonoon #newyears2019 http://bit.ly/2SwDFdw

Today MAKESHOP will be celebrating what community and home means to us. We are thinking of those who have suffered in the wake of what happened, and trust in the power of creativity to inspire and heal. Join us as we express our love and support through making. @pghkids https://ift.tt/2z9Kidn

Our Arts and Making Educator @annesley.bug created this amazing going away gift for MAKESHOP! She'll be leaving us soon for new opportunities, and while we will be sad to see her go we can't wait to see all the amazing things she'll get up to, and make! This laser etched representation of MAKESHOP was designed, cut, and painted by our sweet Annesley. Best of luck to you, and keep making all the cutest things! 🍉🍄🍑🍋🍦🐌🦑🌵 https://ift.tt/2Gor3iC

It's color week in the MAKESHOP! Feast your eyes on these beautifully dyed strips of wool roving that we recently colored using simple Kool-Aid. Just mix with hot water and let the wool soak. While we love experimenting with unique materials and processes, sometimes keeping it simple is just as fun. Soon we'll be using these gorgeous colors to create a collaborative felting project, stay tuned! #wool #textiles #felting #dyeingwool #rainbow #color http://ift.tt/2pdUjBZ
