We've been having a lot of fun listening to records at Library Mixtape. Have you ever wanted to try making your own?

This is the 4th in a series of 12 workshops in partnership with Consonant Collective. We will be meeting approximately once a month through August 2026 to make records together. See end of description for full list of workshop dates.

"Consonant is an arts collective based in Philadelphia that runs a record label and a micro-press. Its founding members are Katie and Joe, a married couple, and we frequently collaborate with friends and co-conspirators in the U.S. and abroad. We aim to put out high-quality DIY releases that maintain a feeling of fun and whimsy."

These workshops will mostly meet on second Wednesdays of the month, from 5:30-7:30PM. During each session, we'll be getting acquanted with Katie & Joe, learning about the vinyl production process, listening to some library-owned albums, and cutting our own! If you don't get a chance to make a record on the first workshop, keep an eye out for more dates!

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). 

This event is SOLD OUT! We are pre-booked until July. Eventbrite tickets for 7/8 and 8/12 session will go live after our 6/10 session.
