This is the next step of making a handmade book. The girls ironing the wax so it melts into the paper. It's supposed to look like leather when it is done.

 

To reach the ironing board, Olivia is standing on a Mr. Potato Head bin. Montague (the dog) is superivising their work.

Bark Carving Creations – Wood Spirit Faces, a group of beginner carvers set out with hand tools and lovely pieces of bark to carve a wood spirit face in this full day workshop (July 2011) under the guidance of area artisan, Linda Shantz. Don't miss this year's two carving workshops: Celtic Love Spoons ( T • Jul 17 • 1–5pm) and Lighthouses (W • Jul 18 • 9am–4pm)!

Olivia is pressing a metal cookie cutter into a sheet of beeswax to make ornaments. I poked a hole in each one and strung a ribbon through it (she picked out the colors of ribbons).

Detail of molten metal being poured in the MSE Advanced Lab in the Herbert H. Dow Engineering Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday afternoon, February 17, 2023. The floor of the lab where the pour will happen has a layer of sand on it to protect it in case of spills.

 

The Advanced Lab is home to MSE 360, a course about structural materials used for building everything from vehicles to buildings and beyond. In the first half of the course, students learn standard alloys before moving into design. MSE 360 is an opportunity to gain experience in both theory and application.

A lovely Japanese themed evening event took place on Mon. July 18, 5 - 7 pm where Kelly Storm, Olds College, School of Environment, took us on a tour of ancient Japanese Gardens by looking through her camera lens on her trip of a lifetime in the summer 2009. The event included a sushi dinner complete with a sushi rolling and assembly demonstration and Ikebana Floral design presentation. A Silent Auction of donated plant and floral designs raised over $200 for the Canadian Red Cross - Japan Tsunami relief!

The demolding process took hours keeping students at the Wilson until after 10 p.m. The Winter term is always one of the busiest times of year at the Wilson Center as student teams move from theoretical design into production in preparation for competition season.

Physics major Maggie Stevens '14 installs a component on the lab's thermal evaporator. Students have been involved in every step of building the lab.

Olivia was pretty impressed with the crystalized snowflake she made out of Borax and boiling water. It's amazing that after 24 hours crystals had formed.

Let loose and sculpt using fabric, wire and an exterior fabric hardener to create fun and funky birds who won’t be flying south any time soon! Spend the day with Rita Wildschut as she leads you through the creation of this whimsical addition to your garden or pond environment. Back by popular demand, this workshop is a delightful way to explore the creativity you didn’t know you had.
