Open day

The shared workshop space i’m involved in , had its open day event last Saturday . The weather was against us and heavy snow first thing in the morning stopped us putting up the tipi outside and the general cold and rain cancelled all the outdoor stuff we had planned . Not to be put off we reorganised and carried on regardless and hoped people would still come . And they did .

Danna’s kitchen

Downstairs Danna cooked up some tastey Slovakian Goulash and for a small donation you could fill yer belly and get a pint from local London Fields Brewery .

Upstairs we brought in some ringers from Hack Space , Michael and Ian who came to show off their 3D printer . Incredible DIY 3D printer technology we may look into ourselves for the workshop .

Mantas had the ‘Steenbeck’ out on display and showed some great old 16mm footage to the crowd . Charlie Hound dog kept the rhythm going with his mix of dynamite old 45’s ( and also got a pretty good ‘harpoon’ tat on his hand ) . A steady flow of people all day made for a great open day .
