Make Shift - resources for those interested in making things
I am personally interested in making - anything from crochet to 3D printing, jam to CNC, screen printing to web design.
I am also interested in doing this is an open, collaborative way and bringing together old technology and skills with newer methods and ideas, and getting the best of both worlds. On this page, will be collecting up ideas and resources, articles and bits of information. I am also part of a group who would like to see the establishment of a hackspace or maker-space somewhere within Norwich where people can share making facilities and materials, knowledge and expertise, so I will post up info about that too. A place for making things If you are interested in supporting the idea of a Hackspace or Makerspace for Norwich have a look here. There's a maker group growing so sign up to the Norwich Hackspace/Makerspace MeetUp group and keep in the loop. Also the Common Room is looking for people interested in something similar.
