RECAP: 3D Printing classes

Groover Labs is excited to begin opening its Maker Labs facilities by offering a roster of classes, with plans to expand in the future to more classes, Maker Labs memberships, and open studio hours for class attendees. We recently held two 3D printing class sessions to begin our education outreach. Led by Executive Director Curt Gridley and Shop Lead Jeremiah Burian, we had students with different levels of experience and a variety of goals.

Meet Jeremiah Burian, the Metal Lab lead at Groover Labs. He’s one of our earliest hires, and he’s worked tirelessly since mid-2019 to bring the Maker Labs online. Burian has vast experience in metal works, completing a professional welder program at the Tulsa Welding School. He enjoys teaching, and he’s ready to lead his first Maker Labs-related class at Groover Labs starting Oct. 1. We sat down with Burian to discuss his upcoming four-week 3D Printing and Open Studio class.

We asked local artist Amy Huser, who is also a community associate at Wichita Coworking and Makerspace Groover Labs, if she’d write a guest blog post about her experience teaching the Tapestry Weaving class last weekend. It can be scary to sign up for a class if you’re new to the discipline. Read how teaching reminded Amy what it’s like to start at the beginning.
