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!

Halton Makefest
Snoof has been in touch about this year’s Halton Makefest which is on 26th March from 10 – 4 at Runcorn Shopping City. The organisers have asked her to pass on an invitation for “any lovely DoES people to participate”. If anyone wants to help run a DoES Liverpool stand then get in touch with Snoof or Jackie and we’ll put in an application.
Liverpool Makefest
Early warning for Liverpool Makefest which is on Saturday July 2nd 2022 at Liverpool Central Library. We’ve already replied to say we’re taking part, so it’s time to start thinking about what everyone wants to display.
If anyone wants to do a workshop on behalf of DoES Liverpool then get in touch.

- Jackie Pease: Stackable pen storage for pen plotter supplies, laser cut from a parametric design from festi.info/boxes.py – a really useful site, often used DoES Liverpool people to make boxes for electronics etc.
