Meet our inaugural Fab Lab Artist in Residence! Rachel Curry is a teaching artist, letterpress printer, bookbinder, zinester, and fiber artist from Los Angeles. As a queer feminist punk, Rachel’s practice as an artist and an educator is rooted in the belief that art is for everyone, that it is possible to build a better world through creative expression.
Starting Sept. 15, visit Rachel on Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Fab Lab at the Main Library! You can catch her working on an embroidered community poem in September and October. In November, pop in to learn how she makes patchwork sewing circles.
She will also be holding hands-on workshops for anyone 13 years or older, no creative experience required. Space is limited, so you’ll need to register. Workshop registration opens up 2 weeks prior to each session, and you can find all of our upcoming events in our online calendar.
Fab Lab members can also drop by the Fab Lab during open hours from 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday or 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
To become a Fab Lab Member, contact Fab Lab staff (626-798-0833 x129 / fablab@altadenalibrary.org) to schedule and attend an orientation session to learn about the equipment and go over safety concerns.
You can also become a Fab Lab Member by attending one of our Fab Lab Foundation sessions when we get together and try out a new skill, technique, or piece of equipment!
