On the last day of 2014 Bob Moyer, Art Hoffman and I met with Dana Woodman of Chimera Arts, Sonoma County’s first community arts and maker space.  We toured the 3D printing workstation, the jewelry making area and the electronic arts section of Chimera’s current workspace and then took the short walk to the site of its future home.  Dana said Chimera plans occupy at least 4000 square feet in the new facility and maybe up to 7000 square feet if plans progress rapidly.  Those plans include developing venues for woodworking and metal working, including welding and fabrication.

Dana, Bob, Art and I discussed possible collaborative efforts including possible discounts for SCWA members and opportunities for both teaching and taking classes.
