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!
Liverpool MakeFest 2026
Add this to your diaries now – Sunday 13th September for Liverpool MakeFest 2026. It’s back!
A group of us have been round and checked out the spaces today, and we’re ploughing ahead with organising MakeFest. It’s very early days in the planning. There will be more news coming out on this very soon.
Do check https://liverpoolmakefest.org/ for more details soon, and for exhibitor registration. We’ll be sending out more information as and when it becomes available. We’re really excited about it, and hoping as many of you as possible will get involved in any way.
P.S. We’re also looking for volunteer stewards.

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 a 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: |
