Tuesday Talks A 12-post collection

Greetings Hivemind!

Our Tuesday Talk this month is from none other than our very own Lisa C.! This Tuesday she will be talking about her love for crochet and how it makes her loopy.

Lisa, a Hive member and the crafts and sewing warden, has been crocheting since the early 2000's. She enjoys creating cute and fun projects for herself and to give as gifts.

Find Lisa on Instagram and on the Hive13 Slack.

Greetings Hivemind! Our Tuesday talk speaker will not only be one of our neighbors, but a member herself. Cyrina Thomas of Precious Plastic Cincy will be joining us to talk about plastic waste and how we can effectively recycle to create art and industrial products. The mission of Precious Plastics Cincy is to create art that makes people rethink waste. Most people don't know that very few plastics are actually recyclable so most recycling ends up in the landfill. Join us this Tuesday after our weekly meeting to learn more!

Thompson Enamel has been a manufacturer of vitreous enamel for metal for over 119 years. They are the last remaining enamel manufacturer in the United States.  Originally headquartered in Chicago, Thompson began producing glass lined pipes in Cincinnati in the 1960’s and since 1984 all of Thompson’s production has been in Newport, KY, right across the river from us!

Join us on April 12th, 2022 at 7:30 for a Tuesday Talk and enameling demonstration from Tom Ellis, a long-time Thompson Enamel employee, editor of the Glass-On-Metal enameling industry magazine, and Enamel artist and instructor.  Tom will be speaking about the history of Vitreous Enameling, the Thompson Enamel company, and will be doing some demonstrations of enameling techniques that can be done right here at Hive13 in our Hot Crafts area!

Greetings Hivemind! We had another stellar Tuesday Talk with the incredibly skilled Emily of Cosplaycad Props and Accessories. We are so grateful she was able to stream in and talk to us about 3D printing, resin printing, modeling programs so we can go forth and MAKE!

Emily gave us a really in depth presentation on different types of 3D printers, the pros and cons of each type as well. When asked how long it takes her personal setup to print the famous Benchy, she responded about 3 hours due to her modifications to her printers.

Emily is not just versed in 3D printing and 3D modeling, but she is also an accomplished cosplayer and cosplay designer. Part of her presentation included pictures of armor she modeled and designed for her Zelda cosplay and she spoke about the design process. In short, it was a lot of trial and error with major of slight tweaks for wearbility. It's one thing to print something and display it, a whole other world to wear it.

We are so thrilled to have had Emily as a speaker! Please support her on Facebook, Instagram, Github, and Tiktok. Comission her for cosplay props here.
