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

National Coworking Day

To celebrate National Coworking Day, we’re opening our doors for a completely free day of coworking at DoES Liverpool, this Friday, 8th August. We’d love to see you there – more details here.

A Birthday Boost

Sunday 10 August, 2:00pm-5:00pm Plastic Playground

In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let’s get our spades out and shift the balance. Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses … pedalos?

Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don’t know – let’s figure it out!

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:
