We are trying to run workshops on the '''first''' and '''third''' Thursday of each month or for longer workshops, at the weekend. The workshops will generally start at 7.00pm and involve some activity or skill share. The Hackspace does not charge to run a workshop and you generally don't need to ask for permission, although a donation is suggested if you intend to charge to attend.

 This page is historical information; archived and locked from editing.

Please see Events for more up to date workshops.

This is a list of the proposed workshops and activities for the year 2013. We are trying to run workshops on the first and third Thursday of each month or for longer workshops, at the weekend. The workshops will generally start at 7.00pm and involve some activity or skill share. The Hackspace does not charge to run a workshop and you generally don't need to ask for permission, although a donation is suggested if you intend to charge to attend.

We can help sort out the materials and logistics. This is YOUR hackspace. It relies upon YOU to get involved and make this work. If you have an idea for a workshop or are willing to run a workshop but are looking for advice, do post on the group or email the trustees_at_notttinghack.org!


These workshops are open to everyone, so please spread the word.


Dates are listed below along with some details.
