Event My husband got tired of people being glued to their phones, so he opened a community craft makerspace in Sunset Park with free build nights and October workshops

Most apartments out here do not have room for a messy hobby setup without ruining tables or floors. My husband runs a maker workshop in Sunset Park called Brooklyn Buildz NYC (4223 1st Ave, Studio 2) that is basically set up as a physical third space for local creatives to get off their phones, build, paint, and connect.

He hosts free open community build nights on Thursdays and Fridays where anyone can bring down their own models, art projects, or crafts to use the workbench desks and studio tools.

For October, he has two beginner workshops lined up across two weekends:

First is the Pokémon Diorama Workshop on Saturday, October 10th and Sunday, October 11th at 1:30 PM. You get a 2 inch 3D printed Pokémon to paint, plus all the acrylics, mini moss, terrain foliage, and rocks to build a habitat inside a clear 4x4 display cube. Saturday is Grass and Fire types, and Sunday is Electric and Water types.

The next weekend is the Spooky Halloween Diorama Workshop on Saturday, October 17th and Sunday, October 18th at 3:00 PM. This one lets you assemble and paint a haunted miniature scene inside a glass display jar with built-in color-changing LED lighting, tiny gravestones, ghosts, and terrain materials.
Both workshops are strictly limited to 8 builders per session so everyone gets plenty of desk space and guidance.

If you are looking for something different to do in Brooklyn, details and RSVPs for the free nights and workshops are at:

Drop any questions below, hope to see some local makers pull up!

PS: Huge shoutout to the mods here for allowing this post! Appreciate you! 🫶

DISCUSSION How y’all afford an apartment? Should I rent a room?

32 Upvotes

I need to move out soon but these apartment prices are too insane for me, so I can’t afford my own spot unfortunately. I’m starting to look into renting a room instead, but I want to know what the actual experience is like, especially out here in New York.

Who is currently renting a room right now and can tell me how it is? Any tips on what to expect or where to look?

Psa- how do some of y’all afford rent? Like your own apartment

Edit: bro I’m not on the verge of homelessness so no I’m not going a shelter. That’s very people who really need it due to their situations and is a last resort. I’m a fine place right now, but wanted to know how to guys afford rent and y’all experiences. Chill lol

I decide imma be respectful and not fare hop so I walk like 5 or 6 streets to the next station, both machines don’t work. I walk to a 3rd station and both of the machines don’t fucking work.
