Chain of Fools! The video is here! With all of your help we managed to construct a 119-foot-long series of contraptions that began at our front door and then clicked, crashed, boinked and splashed, culminating with a royal flush in the women's restroom!  And now in all of its amazing beuaty you can watch it. ( thanks to Karen Haselmann who video taped and worked with Bow Willis to edit...)

Have an idea for a class you'd like to take? A class you'd like to teach?

BUILDING. Until we are able to locate an affordable workshop space dedicated to Studio Bricolage we will remodel space within Leonardo's Basement for adult use. Building.We need help, organizing, sorting and moving stuff. We also need people to build four large work tables and some storage features. The shop will be open for workers on weekday evenings and weekends. If you can help please contact Steve Jevning at stevej at leonardosbasement.org


TEACHING. Our website is in the throes of development. In addition to resources, blogs, building instructions and a calendar, the site will provide a system to propose classes. The system will allow you to teach a class or take a class. We will also "poll" readers to gauge the level of interest in a particular class or event. Please send us a note if you would like to teach a small group of people a skill, or how to build a project. Likewise, if you are itching to learn something - how to solder, make clothes or jewelry, work with wood, build electronic circuits, craft junk sculpture or any other project - email Keith at keith.braafladt at gmail.com
