This document announces a makerspace event at Artspace focusing on upcycling, art, and simple electronics. The event will include creating digital bling wearables and simple circuits. A makerspace is defined as a place for hands-on creative activities using new technologies and basic tools. The event will cover elements of art like line, form, movement, balance, and principles of design like symmetry. Related artists who have made Rube Goldberg-like machines will also be discussed. Participants will then gather supplies to start designing and making their own projects.
