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! The easiest way is to post on Mastodon – if we follow you there, just add #weeknotes to any post you want included. If you’re not on Mastodon but would like to be, chat to one of the organisers and we’ll help you get started. And of course, you can always just send us an email!

#WeekNotes - Andy Green (3DPrimo):
- Looks like Andy’s having a great time in Japan, running a trial Print Party in Kanagawa, with a view over to Mount Fuji, using printing plates created using the laser cutter here at DoES Liverpool.
He’s also been running “Recoupling Art and Science” workshops in Shinjuku, Tokyo, organised by @taichikikaku and generously supported by Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.
