Maker Mondays are friendly and informal skills workshops which take place in the ARC MakerSpace, located on Level 2 of the ARC, by the main door off St Mungo Square.
 
Each 90-minute session focuses on a particular type of making activity, including crafting, 3D printing, laser cutting and basic electronics. Maker Mondays are also a place to meet and get to know colleagues from different parts of the University.
 
We’ll be bringing a festive flavour to the Winter Season through the designs we create and the items we make in each workshop. All sessions are free to attend, though booking is essential as the capacity is limited. You can view the entire event collection on Eventbrite or book individual sessions below.
