[dcw] This Friday!

[Alia T]

Suggestions:

Replace "taking place at" with "emerging/materializing/developing at"
Is the second "Event:" necessary?

Change "For this event" to "At this event" (maybe replace "event" with
"open house"? Or something else welcoming.)

Reword first two sentences: At this open house, see the Makerspace bathed
in temperature responsive mood lighting -- an interactive lighting fixture
by Alia Tsang using an Arduino to change light color based on temperature
shifts and humidity.

Can people hit the drum? If yes: "Check out the sound on Jeff Tolentino's
handcrafted Okedo-style drum constructed with piping, rope, hand-stretched
rawhide, and decorated with finely painted designs." (If no, maybe
something like "Examine/admire the detail on")

And maybe something like: "All the while/While the shared* 3-D printers
materialize busts and impossible shapes out of plastic thread, artist Emily
Schleiner's sculpture "Walking" will have words on the topic of time-travel
climbing up, down, and around walls using tools such as a video projector
and reflective glass."
*or some better phrase to hint that the 3-D printers are available for
people to experiment with?
