DoES Liverpool Takeover Day at the Tate/RIBA Gallery
The Tate have invited the DoES Liverpool community to run a Takeover Day at the RESOLVE Collective exhibition at Tate Liverpool + RIBA North, currently pencilled in for the 6th or 7th of April.
If you’d like to be involved (there is some funding available) then take a look at this conversation on our Google group, get in touch, and try to come along to Maker Night this Thursday to help get some ideas together.

New Boost Members
We were a bit late announcing our new Boost members, Neil and Kez – if you’ve missed our post about them then you can catch up here
Tate/Resolve Collective Exhibition
Resolve Collective, who have been working with the Tate Gallery as part of their redevelopment, and who built the awesome fitted shelves in our Fibre Arts room, are having an exhibition about their project. It’s at RIBA North (down at Mann Island). They’re having a Private View on Thursday 8 February – find out more from Adrian’s Google Group post here (it should be a good opportunity to catch up with some other friends of DoES Liverpool too – Resolve have also been working with other creative organisations around the city, including HomeBaked Anfield, Liverpool Tool Library, Kitty’s Launderette and Pagoda Arts).

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.

"Welcoming our January 2024 Start Boost Members – Kez and Neil!"
We’d like to welcome our new January 2024 start Boost members, Keziah Thomas-Mellor and Neil Morrin (admittedly it’s February, but we did have a couple of other people who unfortunately weren’t able to take up their spaces …)
Workshop Membership Winner – Keziah
Keziah is our new workshop member. Sounds like she’s got some interesting plans for her time at DoES Liverpool! In her own words: “My intentions are to continue refining my questioning of my relationship to the landscape, from growing up on paved pathways to walking and climbing in our ‘green and pleasant’ land. Speaking to themes of accessibility, ownership and climate change.
My previous involvement in woodworking has been building extensions of our environments to facilitate responses. Such as through ladders to binoculars, for the audience to gaze at harsh mountains drawn onto coffee lids, or platforms to heighten risk and focus within my durational performances.
I am currently interested in exploring boundaries and fences, paired with the varying types of stiles. Alongside this, I have begun involving tree bark, drawing upon its textures and a layer of protection. Though I’m not too sure yet how or if this might fit in, this is the exciting aspect of my practice as the workshop will have the facilities to explore this and encourage it to unravel. “
Neil is our Desk Membership winner. Here’s what he has to say about what he does, and what he hopes to get from his time at DoES Liverpool:
“What I do????
I drink coffee, allotment, ride bikes, build websites, do digital heritage stuff, communications, and website hosting. I also run Ignite Liverpool (open space talks) and Jelly Liverpool (open networking).
What I aim to do as a Boost Member
I am an old friend of DoES Liverpool so this has felt like a bit of a cheat, but when John told me that I was the 3rd out of the hat and the previous two out of the hat hadn’t bothered responding and would i be interested I said YES YES YES.
We were told years ago that we should take a day out from our normal work each week, to do something different as a way to think differently, to grow, and to bring those new skills back to our everyday jobs. So I want to use my boost membership to give myself some space to learn some new skills, make new things, and meet new friends. If I haven’t made 5 things by the end of this boost membership you all have permission to throw things at me.”
