Join us Thursday, June 11, at 6 p.m. in the Makerspace at the Indian Creek Library for a super fun print‑making class where you’ll learn the basics using LEGOs!

You’ll get hands‑on with printing inks, tools, and techniques, and you’ll leave with a small print you designed yourself. No experience needed. Just bring your imagination (and maybe wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little inky 😉).

This class is for adults 18 and up. Spots are limited, so grab your seat and come make something awesome with us!
