Katryn McIntosh

Worked with two graduate students from RISD's Graphic Design program to build a "catalog" site for RISDs Digital Media department. It showcases the work of all past students and is meant to clarify the scope of the department. The two Graphic Design students provided the design and Katryn was the developer on the project.


Peter Snyder

Peter has spent the cool winter months collaborating with a local artist, China Blue, to both learn the very basics of 3D printing and to create an installation piece based on electron micrographs of beta-amyloid protein (which is highly related to the development of Alzheimer’s disease) invading the walls of capillaries. These are to be used for both teaching purposes, patient education and as an artistic vision of protein structure causing damage to very tiny blood vessels.

7th Annual Dumpster Hot Tub Party!

7th Annual Dumpster Hot Tub Party!

It was the coldest night we've had yet (-8 degrees with a windchill of -30) but despite the weather, we had a huge turnout for our 7th Annual Wurks Dumpster Hot Tub Party.  This year, the Wurks crew built a 14' insulated hot tub that was heated by a wood burning furnace & erected a sauna - the perfect spot after a dip in the tub.  This years furnace even had a pizza shelf! 

Check out the photos below of the building process and the event!
