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!
Wirral MakeFest
We’re taking part in Wirral MakeFest on Saturday 10th May at Birkenhead Central Library. If you’ve got things you’d like to display and/or you’d like to help with organisation, please get in touch (and there’s a GitHub issue here that you can add your details to).

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.Facilitated by Plastic Tactics – follow on social for the latest updates, and to see what we make if you can’t be here in person: http://instagram.com/plastacs http://twitter.com/plastacs http://facebook.com/plastictacticsliverpool |
