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!
Call Out for the DoES Liverpool Open Day - Saturday 30th August
We're celebrating our 14th birthday with an OpenDay and Party on Saturday 30th August! Find out more about how you can join in from Neil's post here.
A Birthday Boost
Please help us spread the word! If you, or any of your friends, could do with a Boost to get a new idea off the ground (or even just to keep going…), then take a look at our Boost scheme – 6 months free desk or workshop membership here at DoES Liverpool, conveniently situated near the centre of the city. Join our innovative community!
It’s a draw so everyone has an equal chance.

Plastic PlaygroundIn 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:
