Weekend Workshop : Build a Nintendo Remix : $99-129

Summary:

Level 1 : NES - Step into the Retro Remix Studio and turn a piece of gaming history into your own remix!  In this guided, hands-on session, you’ll carefully take apart an original Nintendo (NES) controller and transform its iconic buttons and components into a framed shadow-box art piece; your very own Remix. Along the way you’ll learn a bit about the console that powered a generation of gaming, learn about the tools used in the process, and assemble a finished piece that’s uniquely yours. No experience required—just bring your nostalgia and curiosity! A few days later, your completed, framed a one-of-a-kind creation will be ready for pickup (shipping available).
