How about this… we are very pleased to host the next JC Makers MeetUp. And we are honored & thrilled that Tucker Viemeister is coming to JC Fab Lab to talk about design. Tucker knows more than a little about this. Not only is Tucker named after a very lovely car, we are big fans of the way he talks about design and how this all has worked for him during his decades of work. Don’t miss this one, folks… you’ll get to hear Tucker speak & ask him some questions too.
