Attendees should be aware, as a participant of an interactive lesson, you will need to bring materials from the pre-published list in order to join some of the workshops. Where ever possible we will have tools and materials for people to borrow, but please consult the events calendar before attending to be sure.

Visitors to Maker Wednesdays do not have to participate in the structured events and are always free bring their own project and work in a shared environment. We are also interested in hearing from people who have something to teach.

Our format makes it easy to participate and allows for peer-to-peer knowledge exchange in a fun light hearted environment.
