The Big Move

Did you hear, we’ve moved to The Tapestry, just off London Road. We’re open for business, but while we’re settling in we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

This  week has been mostly about the doors.  We’ve got two of them primed and hanging in their respective doorways ready for the top coats.

If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry and DoES Move – Settling In labels on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.

Progress on the last bits and pieces has slowed a bit now, with people away and busy on Light Night projects.  We’ve got sanitary bins in the toilets now and more of the doors have been painted.  We’re also nearer to getting the floors carpeted in the Events Room and Room 29.

The Big Move

Did you hear, we’ve moved to The Tapestry, just off London Road. We’re open for business, but while we’re settling in we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

This week was the launch of the Fabric District’s vision document celebrated with a 4 day long festival. To get involved we hosted Jelly Liverpool on the Thursday, Maker Night Thursday evening and Maker Day on Saturday. Plenty of people came for a look around and it was good to show what we’re about and get more people interested.

We did lots of cleanup in the main space to prepare for this and work has been ongoing with sanding and priming the doors to go in the space. We also got some signage on our toilet doors!

There’s still work to be done on the doors but the big next steps are sorting out flooring for Room 29 and the events space. We’re committed to carpets, we’re still deciding quite how much sound proofing we need below them!

The Big Move

Did you hear, we’ve moved to The Tapestry, just off London Road. We’re open for business, but while we’re settling in we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

As you can see in the photos above, the space is really starting to take shape now.  Things have been laid out in the metal workshop; there’s a door back on the accessible toilet (and both toilets have had a good clean now they’re in use more as office toilets than “building site” toilets); all of the internal doors have been sanded, ready to be painted; and work has started on sorting out the internal windows.

There will be plenty of people coming to see the space during the Fabric District Festival at the end of the week (from Jelly Liverpool on Thursday for the launch of the festival, and then at Maker Day and Arduino Day on Saturday), so getting the space looking awesome before Thursday would be good!
