[Swansea Hackspace] Make:Shift:Do

[Justin Mitchell]

We should probably try to do something to coincide with this event,
i should be running a workshop on that saturday anyway and maybe someone
can volunteer to man the space on the friday so we can declare it 'open'
to visitors.

Subject: Invitation to participate in Make:Shift:Do

         
        We are currently working with the Crafts Council, The Institute
        of Making and the Digital Programmes at the V&A on a
        collaborative event titled Make:Shift:Do which is part of
        the Crafts Council’s wider Make:Shift conference taking place on
        20 and 21 November 2014.
         
        Make:Shift is the Crafts Council’s new conference on innovation
        across materials, making and technologies with a focus on
        cross-sector collaboration and what a future landscape could
        look like for craft and making.
         
        Make:Shift:Do is a public facing event running in parallel to
        the main conference, aimed at highlighting the spaces of making
        and bringing together the existing networks of make spaces
        across the UK. It runs over Friday 21 and Saturday 22 November
        2014, covering the second conference day and a weekend day to
        enable broader audiences to take part.
         
        We are inviting spaces to open their doors over these two days,
        run any activities that you normally would, or new ones if you
        like, and raise the profile of making in the UK. It is free to
        apply and take part.
         
        For more information and to apply follow this link:

        We would encourage you to apply and register your space and
        activities as soon as you are able to so we can get your details
        online and visitors see the spaces taking part and book in
        advance.
         
        Please pass this on to other spaces you think would be
        interested and encourage them to apply, as there are many spaces
        we won’t know about and also want to help profile.
