May the 4th Make & Take at Nova Labs

Sunday, May 4 | 11 AM – 2 PM
$15 per activity | Snacks included | All ages welcome

Join us for a day of creativity, community, and craft at our May the 4th Make & Take event! This is a celebration of making—whether you're a Jedi of the laser cutter or a Padawan with a glue gun. Drop in anytime between 11 AM and 5 PM to enjoy snacks, good company, and hands-on projects that showcase the tools and talent across Nova Labs.

Choose from three unique Make & Take projects, each designed to highlight different shops and making techniques. Projects are $15 each and you’re welcome to try one, two, or all three:

Sublimated Felt Pins
Use the laser cutter, sublimation printer, and hand-sewing to craft a wearable pin with your own galactic flair.

3D Stamped Leather Bookmarks
Design a bookmark using 3D printed stamps and explore wet leather molding techniques—perfect for marking your place in the Jedi archives.

Customized Light Saber Pencil
3D print your own pencil handle and use a laser-cutting jig to engrave a name or phrase onto your saber—because even lightsabers need labels.

Bonus Activity: Visit the 3D printing shop for a free mini kit-card project—just for fun!

Whether you're here to make, mingle, or munch, this is a day to connect with the Nova Labs community and celebrate the force of creativity. Costumes encouraged but not required—cosmic good vibes guaranteed.
