[ELECTRON] MAKIT Maker Meetup | Friday 6th May 2011

[Roy Mohan Shearer]

The next maker meetup has been dubbed MAKIT and features a mobile
FABLAB from Holland! The laser cutter/3d printer/vinyl cutter endowed
van will be in the Gorbals this Friday from 10am - 5pm at:

St Francis Community Center, 405 Cumberland Street. Gorbals. Glasgow. G5 0YT.
Please pass this around to anyone that might be interested in coming along.

More details at www.skirmishes.org/?p=292

Bring an idea of something to make, or a
project to share that shows how useful digital fabrication can be! We
would like to make this event into a handy meet up for the wide
community of makers in Glasgow, to share, learn and make, in the same
way that we could in the Glasgow Fablab (AKA Maklab). It will also be
a great opportunity for those who are unfamiliar with these tools and
methods to experience the fablab and get a sense of what it could be
used for.

The event is an informal drop in and forms part of Skirmishes Edge
City design charette being held on the same day
[http://www.skirmishes.org/?p=263]. I shall be hanging round the
fablab all day though, documenting things and gathering ideas for
establishing the Glasgow Fablab, so do come along and say hello.

Hi All,
You may or may not know that myself and some colleagues have been
working to set up an open access digital fabrication lab in Glasgow.
As part of this, the folks from Skirmishes have organised for a mobile
FABLAB to visit Glasgow on Friday 6th May 2010, you can get more
details at www.skirmishes.org/?p=292
The duo who run the van will have traveled from the Netherlands so
we're keen to give them a good welcome.

I'd be delighted if you can make it along at some point on Friday 6th
May 2010 between 10am - 5pm. Bring an idea of something to make, or a
project to share that shows how useful digital fabrication can be! We
