Comments Off on Welcome to our October 2023 Boost Members
"Welcome to our October 2023 Boost Members"
Super late announcing this but we had 33 people apply for Boost membership this time and during the past week picked the winners and we’re ready to announce them now. These lucky people get a desk or workshop membership of DoES Liverpool to use for their projects, or to progress their business, or for pretty much whatever they want over the next 6 months. Without further adieu I welcome…
Desk Membership Winner – Simon Jones
Simon gets an allocated desk to use over the next 6 months, together with access to the workshop if he need it, he told us:
I’ll be focusing on honing my skills in Unreal Engine, photogrammetry, motion capture, and Blender. I’ve got some projects I’m working on currently, including concept art and animation for ‘Space Jarg,’ a sci-fi film I’m co-writing with Kaylee Nicholas. I’m also working on a music video for the band Unimaginable Lovers. Plus, expect to see some general video and animation work using techniques from virtual production. I’m always on the lookout for interesting collaborations too.
Workshop Membership Winner – Ashleigh De la Haye
Ashleigh gets full access to the workshop for the next 6 months. She also looks like she might be an entrant for our next DoES Does Stand Up event (if Kirsty gets around to organising one!) She gave us this update:
So excited to be lucky enough to have been picked! I’m looking forward to experimenting with new mediums and materials for kitsch and crazy jewellery designs as well as trying my hand at sewing!
A warm welcome to both our winners and we really look forward to meeting you and seeing what you create in our space!

Lovely testimonial from Joe, currently a Boost member, who has really been making the most of his membership and joining in with everything that's happening!

Tapestry Lift Access
The Tapestry lift is now being replaced with a much better one, which is excellent as the previous platform lift wasn’t up to the job and was often out of action. Unfortunately that means there is now no lift access to our space until early November.
Our initial plan for a temporary accessible space fell through but we’re working hard on finding another. (More detail in ‘somebody should’ issue #1833.)
We’ll continue to post updates on our socials and in this Google group.
October Start Boost Membership
You’ve got until midnight on Sunday 10th September to apply for our latest Boost membership (starts October 1st). Find out more here and apply here.

I've been trying out some conductive fabric I bought from @CMoz a while ago. This is a machine embroidered felt starfish, with conductive ripstop underneath. I used it with an #adafruit CAP1188 as a proximity sensor – good to have something that works through windows!#WeekNotespic.twitter.com/OCjBHWsb2v

Plastic Playgroup (DoES Workshop)
In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let’s get our spades out and shift the balance.
Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses … pedalos?
Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don’t know – let’s figure it out!
Two rules:
1. No Objectives – this is an aimless and wandering session.
2. Bring Your Own Initiative – this is an active session and we’ll help you get creative.
Every two weeks on a Sunday afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm.
