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!
New Boost Membership Round – July Start
Just a reminder that it’s time to apply for the next round of our Boost membership, starting 1st July. Please tell anyone you think might benefit.
Boost Membership was introduced to celebrate the 10th anniversary of DoES Liverpool – the amazing coworking and shared workshop space in the Fabric District of Liverpool. It gives two people the opportunity to use the space free of charge for six months either with an allocated desk or by having 24-hour access to the workshop.
As things continue to be difficult for people due to inflation, fuel prices and all the economic woes we’re dealing with at the moment we thought it would be worth pointing out that Boost membership is open to anyone, even existing paying members. If 6 months free membership would help you out at the moment then feel free to apply, of course if you’re not already a paying member you are still welcome to apply.
Applications are open until 11:59pm on Saturday 31st May 2025, any applications received after this point will not be considered. We will endeavour to announce the winners as soon as possible afterwards.
We had a great time at Wirral MakeFest (see photos below), thanks to everyone who took part, and to the event organisers who made sure everything ran smoothly. Just another reminder that this year’s Liverpool Makefest will be on Saturday 5th July. It’s the 10th anniversary edition, so hopefully there will be lots of returning makers from the first event – we’ve been there every time!
Please get in touch if you want to display your stuff on our stand (Github issue here that you can add your details to). If you or any makers you know would like their own stand then please fill out the form here before the end of the month. Spread the word!
Things of Note
Adrian McEwen:Currently running what’s probably the longest 3D print to be done at @DoESLiverpool, a reprint (but at higher resolution) of the DoES Tower – a model of the St. John’s Beacon here in Liverpool.It’s not actually going to take nearly 10 days, that’s the printer being pessimistic; but it will be nearly 4 and a half days 😄
DoES Liverpool:Some of the DoES Liverpool team, with visitors, at #wirralmakefest2025 on Saturday.
Thanks to the organisers. We had an excellent time meeting visitors and other makers.
Mike brought along two panels of his VLG (Very Large Rug), which can be seen in the background. #WeekNotes
