Have you ever wondered how to get from sheep's wool to woolen socks? Join us as we shear away the mystery behind spinning yarn.

Take part in a craft that's been keeping people busy and warm for over 10,000 years.

Doctor You? Build Your Own Doctor
Friday October 18, 2024 5:00pm - 5:50pm PDT
Jefferson
Participants will be asked to create their own Doctor, modeled on themselves or anyone they like, in three areas: The Look -- what their Doctor looks like, and especially what they wear. Participants can render this in art, cosplay, or verse. The 'Tude -- how they view the Universe, how they get along with people, if there is any particular like or dislike; the stuff that would make their Doctor fun and interesting to watch. The Smarts -- Give the participants a problem, and let's see how their Doctor would solve it. The challenge should ideally have many ways to resolve, with no wrong answer except possibly "I wave my Sonic Screwdriver at it and hope the monster falls down".

In Doctor Who, the Doctor is always equipped with a sonic screwdriver, and some other characters have crafted other sonic devices. And all Whovians know of Daleks, arch nemeses of the Doctor.

All ages welcome, but there will be tiny pieces to keep out of tiny mouths.
