Week 736 – NixOS, FreeCAD Door Handle Repairs

by | Jul 14, 2025 | Weeknotes, Workshop | 0 comments

Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.

And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!

Paid Workshops

It was great to see so many visitors to our Event Space for Komal’s “Sari Forest” exhibition and workshops. Here she is, with some of the saris:

You can take a look at our events page here to see what else is coming up (anyone fancy Sashiko embroidery?).

Please get in touch if you’re organising a workshop or other event here, and we’ll do our best to help publicise it for you.
