Hi James,
I’m just introducing myself as the new Learning & Participation Manager at Crafts Council. I’m picking up on things from John in terms of confirming venues and spaces for MSD. I’ll be working on this from now until the event in November.
I can see from your conversations with John that you’ve been in touch with John, but I’m not aware of any further conversations you’ve had so if you could please let me know if Potteries Hackspace still has an interest in Make:Shift:Do, I will send on a form to confirm the information we need from you and/or answer any questions you have about the event.
We are hoping to confirm all venues by the end of this week, but I understand that we may need a bit more time to confirm your plans. What I definitely need this week is a confirmation of each venue’s intent to participate, so it would be great if we could catch up by phone or email.
- Chris

Hi James, what do you think about the below? We'd really, really love to have you on-board; doubly so, as we have no other West Midlands partners amongst the 25 UK venues.
Do you think it could be possible? Would it be helpful for me or our Learning Manager Chris gave you a call?
Many, many thanks for your advice, and I hope we can find a way to make this work
Very best wishes,
John

Hello James,
Many thanks for contacting Crafts Council to express an interest in Make:Shift:Do, and apologies for our delayed reply.
Our plans for the event have been through quite a wide range of permutations, but I’ve picked this up directly now.
Though most of the activity that we’re scheduling for MSD is in London, it would be great to have Potteries Hackspace involved in the first instalment of this hopefully annual event, especially given the maker heritage in the area; Tristram Hunt is actually sponsoring the imminent launch of Crafts Council's forthcoming (otherwise cross-party) education manifesto, too.
Because we’re aiming for this to be as broad a public engagement opportunity as possible, ideally we’re looking for free open days, but we’re also open to paid-for sessions (though ideally low cost ones!) given the material costs for some more hands-on activities.
In other words – it could be perfect to have a general open day or days on the 21 and/or 22 November, perhaps also with a paid for session in the afternoons or evenings of those days.
However, really it's anything that you're able to lay on, and even one shorter, charged session on one of the days would be a great contribution.
We’re trying to confirm participation asap so that we can get listings up and start spreading the word; if and when you’ve got a firmer idea of whether you'd still like to participate, please could you complete the questions below?
Nearly forgot to mention - we can offer a modest thank-you for participation, too - either a £100 fee towards material costs etc, or a free ticket to the Make:Shift (http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/makeshift) conference.
Further thanks, and we very much look forward to hopefully working with you on this this year,
John
