Hello all,

After floating the idea on IRC I thought it would be worth posting a
proposal to the list.

Background:

I have been lamenting the decline of the makers at the space, we used to
have much more visible making and learning. This has been eroded by those
on political crusades, or camping out at the space just wanting desk space
to get on the internet </rant>

One of the things I envy from other hackspaces are workshops, we don't do
those any more, lets change that! A good example comes from nottinghack
http://nottinghack.org.uk/?p=1433

The idea:

Fab Fridays - Running fought nightly (opposite graphics hackspace), with
differing workshops on each week. A small fee would be charged for most of
these to cover materials for those running the workshops (with a little
change left over for a deserved drink at the end). I would love to get a
few of us together to find and vet the workshops. This means we shouldn't
end up with someone 'taking advantage' by charging high fees for a low cost
workshop.

Everyone has their own skills and abilities that they can share, what could
you help teach others? Knitting, PCB etching,
soldering, origami, modelling with fimo, how to wield a dremel with
skill... We have a tendency to think of what we know as easy to learn from
the internet or books, but the beauty of the hackspace is coming together
to learn and create, lets make awesome stuff together!

We already have the beginnings of a workshop to show you how to make a
custom cast and turn it into a candle!

What do we think, can you help make some awesome too?

Sol
