[Imc-makerspace] Maker moving to town

[MakerSpace Urbana]

Hello, James,  Thanks for contacting us.   We are fairly informal in our
membership.   We let you "try before you buy."   Paid membership will get
you a key to Studio 16 at the UC-IMC, where the MakerSpace is located.   We
don't have cubicles or designated member storage areas.   I'm forwarding
this to the
imc-makerspace e-mail discussion list @lists.chambana.net, for more
suggestions for you, possibly.
You can register at http://lists.chambana.net   We are in the midst of our
Summer Make-Ation workshop series
which happens bi-weekly on Saturdays into August.  Soda-Can Camp Stove and
Pewter Casting happen July 7.
We have a SoliDoodle arriving in August.   I said "DIY-Bio" once at the U-C
IMC and got hissed at loudly.   Heck, my
daughter can sequence DNA.  Cheers,  -Stewart,
