WEDNESDAY In-person Crafting and Happy Hour

A lot of folks asked for a second monthly meeting, so here it is! Join us on the last Wednesday of every month for our in-person fiber arts meet up! Whether you knit, crochet, felt, sew, cross-stitch, or embroider, come by, grab a drink or a snack, and share your creations! We meet in the food hall at Brookfield Place (230 Vesey St) in Tribeca. We usually have a sign on the table so you can find us.

Production Workshop

[Please RSVP](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/production-basics-free-workshop/) to ensure you will be able to participate in this free workshop. [Production Basics](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/production-basics-free-workshop/) is a free, hands-on 2-hour workshop that gives you a real introduction to making music from scratch. Hosted in our NYC studios, the session focuses on one core skill: building your first groove and loop. A professional producer walks you through how a beat actually comes together, from picking sounds to laying down patterns to shaping an idea into something that sounds like a track. ​This is built to give you an honest read on whether music production is a craft you want to pursue further. Small-group format with guided instruction and open practice time. No DAW experience or prerequisites required. However, [RSVP is required.](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/production-basics-free-workshop/) Workstations are available on a **first-come, first-served basis**, so we recommend arriving early to secure a spot. If all workstations are taken by the time you arrive, you’re still more than welcome to join the session, observe, and jump on the gear during open practice time!

DJ Basics Workshop

[Please RSVP](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/dj-basics-free-workshop/) to ensure you will be able to participate in this free workshop. [DJ Basics](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/dj-basics-free-workshop/) is a free, hands-on 2-hour workshop that gives you a real introduction to what DJing actually involves. Hosted in our NYC studios, the session covers the core fundamentals: how DJs read a track, control tempo, cue the next song, and move between records without breaking the energy. A professional DJ walks you through the basics on industry-standard gear, then puts you behind the decks to try it yourself. ​This is not a lecture or a feature tour. It is a genuine first session with real DJs, built to give you an honest read on whether DJing is a craft you want to pursue further. Small-group format with guided instruction and open practice time. No experience or prerequisites required. [However, RSVP is required.](https://learn.soundcollective.com/courses/dj-basics-free-workshop/) Workstations are available on a **first-come, first-served basis**, so we recommend arriving early to secure a spot. If all workstations are taken by the time you arrive, you’re still more than welcome to join the session, observe, and jump on the gear during open practice time!
