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!

- Adrian McEwen: Pete Lomas And that reminded me of the rule 0 sign that used to be on the workshop door in DoES Liverpool (when all the workshop stuff was behind one door!) Have dug it out and made it a bit more prominent in the current space 😀 #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/neZCv4JKO9
- Jackie Pease: Thanks to Mike G for attaching a new white lead to my #plasticflowers (so it doesn’t show up against white surfaces), and mending a couple of broken stems.

- Anne-Marie Jane: Each week there’s new opportunities to find inspiration, make, create, fix things, add style. At DoES Liverpool this week I painted old canvases to use to hold fave pictures & played some music with the group. #WeekNotes pic.twitter.com/aBM7OkcZ1i
- Jackie Pease: More pen plotter testing today. Pablo printed an extra wheel attachment for the @doesliverpool penplotter, McGraw, to stabilise the pen holder.
There are still some artefacts in the print though – the next thing to try is cleaning the belts and bearings with IPA
