I’m not sure we could speak more highly of this group of tenants. They are innovators, makers, teachers, creators, artists, and outright fun. The best thing of all… they are looking for new members.
Department of Spontaneous Combustion offers a shared work space where individuals create their own art, skills are shared, and collaboration is encouraged. The DSC includes a full metalworking shop, electronics lab, and a pool lounge.
They are currently reaching out for new members and people interested in utilizing the shop on a drop-in basis! They offer a variety of storage space rentals and a place for workshop hosting. A good place to get started is the OPEN SHOP every Tuesday evening, 7-10pm. It’s a good time to get your hands dirty, acquire new skills, and network within the community.
These amazing people just received a grant from Burning Man to create Mens Amplio, a fifteen foot tall model of a human head and brain which will incorporate an array of light and flame effects controlled by a participant through the use of an EEG headset.
DSC is located in Bay 4 of American Steel. CONTACT THEM TODAY! http://spontaneousfire.com/
