Tools Exploration

We "work with" materials and tools. We do not "use" them. Materials and tools have certain affordances. Inquiry is anti-perfectionist.

Open exploration. Choose what you want to engage in. Stay or travel.

Be prepared to share a takeaway

• Sewing/Quilting - Kira
• Cricut & Soldering examples - Patrick & Rich
• Paper Circuits - Dab & Derek
• Cardboard and Crop-a-dile - Lizzie & Ken
