Description
On Wednesday, October 16th, Casey Boyter joined us for a Lunch ‘n Learn explaining her experience designing, building, and maintaining green roofs here in the Austin area, especially with regard to the materials that go into this process. Casey outlined some of the parameters that go into green roof design such as accessibility—can the roof be walked on, or not—and dormancy periods—does the roof actually need to stay green year round, or should its plants naturally go dormant during certain seasons?
On Saturday, October 12, 2019, Kat Heitman led a workshop on wooden spoon carving, using a combination of power and hand tools in the Build Lab. The workshop kicked off with a carving demonstration, followed by the selection of spoon templates available in various wood species and material sizes. Students used chisels and mallets to carve out the interior bowl of the spoon, a hand saw and band saw to shape the stem, sanding machines and paper for refining and smoothing, and finishing oil for sealing. Each participant produced a handcrafted wooden spoon of their own design.
