A 2023 Student Design and Fabrication Project
Each February, One Stone host’s our biggest fundraiser of the year: The One Event. The One Event is an inspirational evening, packed with student voice, stories, videos, and, in 2023, student-fabricated-creations.
Lab51 student, James Silveria, always had a passion for working in the Foundry. His leadership inspired the One Event planning team to prompt him to design and fabricate the One Event centerpieces.
With support from event leadership, James spent several evenings hand-making each centerpiece. From cutting them out on the CNC router and laser engraver, to individually sanding and staining each piece, James played a critical role in the impact of the evening. He went on to tell his story on the One Event stage that year, as well.
“This is the kind of initiative I love at One Stone… taking on real-world stakes,” James said. “It was hard work, but I got to watch hundreds of people interact with the pieces, and that made it all worthwhile.”
