MakerSpace & Co's First Birthday

Overview

For a whole year now, MakerSpace and Company has been providing Sydneysiders with a place to make, build and create. Hundreds of folk who'd long dreamt about blacksmithing, pottery, jewellery-making and bicycle-building have been getting their hands busy, while avoiding the costly overheads of workshop rent and gear purchases.

Now, MakerSpace is turning one, and the team wants you to join them for a makery celebration. Head along on Saturday, November 19 for tours, demos, workshops and exhibitions. Everyone is invited, from curious newbies to regular visitors. One of the biggest drawcards is a collaborative blacksmithing project — loads of smiths will be getting together to hammer, bend, cut and weld before your eyes.

Then, at 7pm, a street party will kick off. Expect a herd of food trucks, oodles of booze courtesy of Batch Brewery and a market, where you can get your Christmas shopping done before mad season hits properly.
