[KwartzLab] workshop: pumpkin carving skills for HH volunteers

[doug moen]

Hi, Jeff.  Sorry you couldn't make it Thursday. We need to arrange a
date where you can teach us carving skills.  Please suggest a date and
time that works for you.

Are we going to have a blade assembly party as well?

Finally, I'd like to make sure that we have all the right equipment
for the carving skills workshop.  Jeff's pumpkin tech is based on:
http://zombiepumpkins.com/pumpkin-carving-instructions.php

So, for the workshop, we'll need:
 * pumpkins
 * tools: I left a grocery store tool kit in the lab. It has blades, a
scoop (which works better than a spoon), and some tools for
transferring the pattern to the pumpkin.  Jeff is supplying superior
blades, but we'll need the other tools as well.
 * patterns, printed out from zombiepumpkins.com
 * scissors, for cutting excess paper from the patterns
 * tape, to hold the pattern on the pumpkin while transferring the
pattern (by poking holes)
 * newspapers, to protect tables from pumpkin guts
 * pails, to hold pumpkin guts

And we'll need this for HH as well, of course.

Doug Moen.
