DIY Discs: Cut Your Own Vinyl Record Workshop

Roxborough Library is excited to welcome Consonant Collective for a DIY Discs Record Cutting Workshop. Spots are limited, so register now!

What you'll make: 1 7" record, with up to 5 minutes of audio per side. Due to time constraints, you will likely have one side with content, the other side blank. This record is cut at 33 1/3 RPM. There will be supplies to design your own album art on a paper sleeve.

What to bring: Please have your audio file available in a .mp3 or .wav format. Feel free to email it in advance - the email address will be provided once you sign up.

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED! Due to time constraints, we are only able to make 15 records in a session- they are cut in real time, so 5 minutes of music is 5 minutes of cutting! By getting an Eventbrite ticket, you are reserving your materials and 5 minutes of time to cut on the lathe cutter.

Sold out? Add your name to the waitlist.
