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!

@Knottyashcreative sent in this photo of his laser cut, engraved and hand painted multilayer plaque, which he made for a friend's birthday.
Lots of work, but definitely worth it!

The following topics will be covered:
The course assumes general computer skills, and experience with some forms of computer graphics is very helpful. Attendees will require
their own laptop and an SD card for transferring files to the 3D printer.
By the end of the course, attendees will be able to create their own basic designs and use the 3D printers at DoES Liverpool. |

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 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:
