Workshops 2013
This is a list of the proposed workshops and activities for the year 2013. We are running workshops on the first and third Thursday and last weekend of every month. These workshops are open to everyone, so please spread the word.
These will generally start at 7.00pm and will involve some activity or skill share.
The dates are listed below along with some details.
If you have an idea for a workshop or are willing to run a workshop then please drop me (Matt Little) an email at matt_AT_re-innovation.co.uk. We can help sort out the materials and logistics. This is YOUR hackspace. It relies upon YOU to get involved and make this work.
