We’re postponing tonight’s meeting due to snow. The meeting is now scheduled for March 6th and will be videotaped for those who can’t make it.

We finally have snow here in Lincoln, MA, so classes for Feb. 29 are canceled. To make up for cancelling tonight’s shoe making class, I’ll be holding open studio hours on Saturday from 9am to noon, and Tuesday evening from 6-9pm. And of course we’ll meet again next Wednesday.

Sixsmith & Co. is hosting a free Blender Quick Start workshop on Thursday, February 9th at 6:30pm. This goal of the workshop is to get you up and running with Blender quickly, and learn how to model 3d objects from scratch and well as import and export 3d models.
Blender is a free 3d modeling software that is fairly powerful to use, but has a daunting interface. Our goal is to break through the interface barrier by quickly creating models and defining a process where the focus is on the development of our model, not the menu system.
More information about Blender along with downloads are available here: http://www.blender.org/
Just show up at 6:30. Bring your laptop with blender loaded on it and we’ll have some pizza and make some models.

I know. There’s been no snow. Not very New England-y here right now. But in the event we have snowfall, how can you find out if your classes have been canceled? Here are some guidelines:
-Check your email. If we shut down and there is a class scheduled that day, we will send you an email notification.
-Check this website. If we shut down we will post it here on our website.
-Check our twitter account at https://twitter.com/#!/6smithfablab.
-If the Lincoln/Sudbury or Concord/Carlisle public schools are closed, we will close too.
-If road conditions are treacherous for any reason, such as black ice or a hazard on Route 2, we will notify you and reschedule your class.
-If you are still concerned, call us before you come over. We’ll let you know if we have canceled your class.
If a class is canceled, we will schedule a make up class,usually by adding a week onto your class schedule. Weekend intensives will be scheduled for the next available weekend.
