Finding the Funny Together

Luxe Rest Ritual
Meris, a MOVE Studio Community Project participant, shares a series of uplifting videos designed to help high-performing, conscious individuals overcome burnout and restore their inner vitality. Through meditation, breathwork, yoga, journaling, and other time-tested practices, she guides viewers toward renewed energy, joy, and balance.
Multi Material Printing
The MAKE studio has the PRUSA XL 5 head 3d printer, allowing us to print objects with multiple colors and even giving us the the opportunity to use multiple materials during the same print. The way different plastics interact with each other can be utilized to achieve results that might otherwise be impossible.

The Dreamweaver Collective has just completed a successful VFX test for our upcoming short film Costumes. This test focused on creating a convincing super speed effect — a key visual moment in the story.
Repair Extravaganza
150+ people participated by bringing a broken item. Over 70% of these items were fixed by a group of 40+ fixer volunteers, saving the attendees over $8,000 in estimated costs and diverting almost 500lbs from the landfill!
Chicken on a Skateboard
It’s a remote control chicken on a skateboard. It is rad. It’s name is Hennessy, a Lohmann Brown. Actually there are two of them. Count Bockula is a Master Grey and a Goofy-Foot. ABD? Not this. So lock in fam, cause we’re loosening the toe angle, and dropping in the coop.
Remembrance Stories-StoryCorps DIY
StoryCorps is back in the PLAY studio this fall! This time we are remembering loved ones who are no longer with us. StoryCorps is a non-profit whose mission is to document the human experience by recording conversations all across the country (our studio is the only place to record StoryCorps sessions in Idaho!).
