<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>So my understanding is that we wanted to make swappable molds of a couple of masks (actually, that the system would stay in the space to be used by anyone who feels like making molds for anything, not just masks).<br>
<br></div>It was suggested that we do this at the Dia De Los Muertos celebration in the E St. Plaza that the DDBA is holding on Halloween. We also have the opportunity to run something for "Artober" although I don't know which dates are still available.<br>
<br></div>Ultimately it would be nice to have the machine available at the space - and this is a fire under our feet to get it done! I hadn't committed to the Dia De Los Muertos event yet, but if there is sufficient interest here, and it sounds like there is, maybe I will do that if nobody objects.<br>
