Back on site @big_malarkey without our friends @hull_librariestoday :( It’s the last bits of technical finagling. Anyone remember that scene in Apollo 13? “I need to you make this fit into this, using only these..”

We're sorry to have to share this but due to a technical issue the makerspace is unable to open today (6th January 2025).
We're working hard behind the scenes and will keep you updated as we find out more about the issue and how long the closure will be.

One of our members, Steve, has built this cut down replica of Beverley Road from scratch using our laser cutter. If you want a closer look then he’s exhibiting at the Carnegie centre on the 19/20th October…

Our Demystifying Making group are on week 3 and are making some amazing T-shirts and learning about dye sublimation. I’m a bit concerned about this imprint left on the Teflon sheet that literally is the ghost of Elvis…

If you see these lovely humans over the next few days - be sure to ask them something. We've so many questions....

And they’re off!
With their individual cries and distinctive plumage, the Curiosity news vendors are now distributing the free Curiosity newspaper across Hull city centre.
Stop them for a paper, a badge, a sticker or to ask any question you damn well like.

Our Matt is back helping @bbcburnsy with laser cutting. Curious to see if it really is that easy? Pop in and see us in Central Library and have a chat with our friendly and helpful team.

Amazed? Yes. Confused? Absolutely. But, thanks to advice from Librarian Matt, @bbcburnsy eventually gets to grips with the art of laser cutting on his most recent visit to the @makerspacehull

Everything you need to start screen printing (kit, computers and experts with advice) is waiting at @makerspacehull
20 Aug 2024
Ever wondered how you can learn to screen print? We asked @bbcburnsy to head back to @makerspacehull in Central Library to get a quick lesson from librarian Matt.

On the top floor of Hull's Central Library, you'll find the @makerspacehull. But what is it and why is it? We sent our new signing, midfield wizard @bbcburnsy (ably assisted by Librarian Matt), to find out. @hull_libraries

Libraries a 🧵 of my thoughts. I’ve always thought libraries were a fundamentally good thing. From an early age I was taken each week to York central library by my mum to get new books. This ignited my love of reading & learning that continues to this day. However fast forward
