Office Hours with Thomas

* This event is drop-in anytime from 10A-2P, no ticket is required to attend.

Meet Thomas! Our host for our 2/5 Office Hours —

“Thomas works primarily with ceramics, using self-designed tools, 3D modeling, and image projection to develop novel making techniques. His practice is informed by seven years of work in robotics, beginning in culinary robotics on systems that prepared food to order, and currently in self-driving vehicles. He now works on camera-based navigation systems, where machines infer position and movement through vision. These parallel practices shape an ongoing interest in perception, construction, and translation. Current work explores identity as layered and plural—composed of overlapping, sometimes conflicting parts.”

During the office hours, Thomas plans to be doing a bit of coding, and also some creative work on one of his current ceramic projects.

More about this regular Thursday event at Friend Museum:

Parallel play. Co-working. Office hours. We’re entering fall side-by-side this year, ready to pull up a seat beside you.

Every Thursday this fall / winter we’ll hold an open, drop-in, low pressure space to gather in our space. From 10-2 there will be someone at the table next to our in house coffee shop — working, creating, reading or just being in community. The invite is always open, we’ll always pull up a chair for you.

Bring your work, art in progress, book or just yourself and find a moment or two of camaraderie as daylight fades. Stay as long as you’d like, we’re open 9-5 everyday. $1 off at the cafe for anyone who joins.

In the coming weeks we’ll introduce the anchors who will sit at the table with you and let you know a bit about what they’re working on while they spend Thursday with us.

Want to be the lighthouse at the head of our table sometime this fall? Send us an email (friendmuseumseattle@gmail.com) we’d love to have you.
