Welcome to Jurassic Print: an event and learning experience that offers a hands-on introduction to the vast world of 3D printing. This year our theme is dinosaurs! The relics of our world. Come learn with us as we dive deep into the basic functionalities of a 3D printer, what it can do, and everything involved in creating your own 3D print. This is an 8-week program spanning through June and July. We have a surprise for those who attend and an even bigger surprise for those who can pass our final week quiz.

3D printing always finds a way.

Join us at the Farmington Public Library for a special Cottonwood Concert with singer/songwriter and storyteller Sofia Talvik!

Sofia Talvik is a rare artist and an avid storyteller with a voice comparable to giants like Joni Mitchell, or as the Folk/Americana Magazine NoDepression said it ”A singer/songwriter who is able to evoke the essence of Laurel Canyon circa the ‘60s as expressed in the work of Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Buffy Sainte-Marie and others who were able to paint beautiful tapestries from words and music.”.

Prepare yourself for a unique and intimate evening, not unlike the 70's coffeehouses and speakeasy's. You will be up close and personal with a world class act that has played big festivals like Lollapalooza and SxSW and opened for artists like Maria McKee and David Duchovny (X-files, Californication). It is in this kind of setting where she can casually joke and communicate with the audience that her strength as a performer shines the most.

Her delicate songs are performed in an intimate way, showing off Sofia’s angelic voice enhanced only by a tasteful mix of harmonies and delays, accompanied by the steady picking of her acoustic guitar and the rhythm section consisting of her own two feet, bells and a stomp box.
She's an experienced international touring artist who has toured through 48 U.S states, many of the countries in Europe and far away places like New Zealand.

Her latest album "Center of the Universe" was released in 2023. Throughout the 10 songs on the album, there is a broad range of topics of some of life’s most earnest moments, ranging from the Ukraine War, American women’s rights, the thousands of missing children in the US and the torment of domestic violence survivors across the world. The album went straight into the top 20 on Folk Radio Charts USA in August 2023, with the first single charting in the top 10. The album was considered for a Grammy nomination for "Best Folk album" 2023.

You can listen to her music on Bandcamp and YouTube. 

As always, outdoor concerts will be moved indoors in case of inclement weather (heat, cold, rain or snow!)
