Welcome to the Weaving and Dye Lab!

We are open by appointment only this fall. Please see below steps to request a reservation.

To use the lab please follow these steps:

1. Fill out the brief campus access survey. This will help choose your building, and ensure you are tested.
2. Make a Tech Consultation. Look for the flashing red button on the right-hand sidebar
3. Request a seat at least 48 hours in advance of coming to campus. After scheduling a tech consultation (or sometimes even during one!), request a seat via getspace.newschool.edu relevant area. 

If you are not local please use the consultation button to get a tech’s help or advice regarding off-campus making-based projects.
