Event: Dublin Maker This Saturday

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

Dublin Maker is a free-to-attend, community-run event, which will be held on Saturday, September 2nd, in Richmond Barracks, Inchicore, Dublin. Note: This year, it is in a new venue and will be mostly indoors. So, the weather is less of an issue!

Dublin Maker takes the form of a “show and tell” experience, where inventors/makers sourced through an open call have an opportunity to showcase their creations at individual booths in a carnival atmosphere.

Time: from 10 AM to 6 PM.

Several Feltmakers Ireland members have booths at this indoor event, including Annika Berglund, Juliane Gorman, and Constance Seymour (Cons Creations).

If you are a Guild member, please let us know if we missed you.

In addition, other members of the local fibre community will be demonstrating, such as the Irish Guild of the Weavers, Spinners & Dyers, and Ryan Koenig Studio – Arran Knitting.

Note: This coming weekend, the Red Line Luas has repair work scheduled, with no trams
running from Heuston and Blackhorse. There will be a replacement bus
service. The Blackhorse stop is a 15-minute walk at a leisurely pace.

Open Call: Join Dublin Maker 2023

Published on by Feltmakers Ireland

This year will be the 11th Dublin Maker, which will take place in Richmond Barracks on Saturday, the 2nd of September, 2023.

Dublin Maker relies on the help of many communities and is run by volunteers who work hard so it can remain free and accessible to all. It is made great by Ireland’s super makers submitting projects and giving their time for free. Each year we are amazed at the inventiveness and enthusiasm they bring. We have a lovely venue this year and are looking forward to filling it with creative madness.

Dublin Maker gives the opportunity for makers to interact with each other, share ideas, and show examples of their work, projects, crafts, inventions, products and hacks in a vibrant fair-style event. We encourage you to join the fun and enter a project to exhibit.

Remember – your project doesn’t need to be finished, and it definitely doesn’t need to be for sale. We want you to share how you make, so in-progress, hobbyist projects are A-OK!

The deadline is the 1st of August.
