The Dublin Hackerspace
We completed TOG’s photo workshop today. Yesterday, just as everyone got film loaded, the rain threatened to spoil the day. It soon cleared and we all headed for Dublin Castle and environs. Despite a few minor calamities, everyone got a roll of B&W film exposed and developed. The workshop continued today with printing. Everyone got a contact print done and a chance to make some test exposures and prints.

And breathe..
Huge thanks to everyone who came along to the first TOG photographic group show in Hendron’s Collider. Much stress, much fun, (too) much wine… For those who didn’t make it, here are a few images from Eadaoin’s Facebook Gallery. LOADS of images floating about, which I’ll collect and put in a full gallery soon.
I’m hoping to run the whole 10 week concept to exhibition cycle again soon. Watch this space..

TOG will be hosting Capital Brewers brewday Saturday 14 Dec 12:00-17:00
This brewday will mark 1 year since the start of a beautiful friendship, and you can expect all-grain beer brewing with expert advice, tips and tricks, tasting sessions, demos and maybe even a BBQ if weather permits.
Drop in anytime from noon; cost is free and all are welcome.
Donations for TOG are welcome too!
As we’re well into December by now, we can talk about the C word all we want! As is tradition by now, the final craftnight of the year will be a sugar-fuelled glitterfest where we try to finish Christmas gifts while raising our blood glucose levels. By the time your insulin sorts that mess out, the crochet class on Saturday 14th will let you return to the scene of the sugarcrime and see what you recall.
Sugar craftnight kicks off from about 6:30pm in TOG on Tuesday December 10th. All are welcome, and all sorts of tasty treats are welcome too! There’ll be hot chocolate to wash down the Christmas cookies, and I’ll have some spare felt and sparkles for anyone who’d rather build decorations than destroy their pancreas (of course you can do both). Coordination of baking will happen through the craft mailing list (anyone can join the list and get regular reminders of craftnights during the year). As with all craftnights, you can just pop down on the night. Our first craftnight of 2014 will be on January 7th.
There will be a crochet bauble workshop run on the afternoon of Saturday December 14th from 2:30pm till about 4:30pm. Participants don’t need any prior experience at crochet, and will still make a pretty netted bauble for the tree. The class will cost €7 including materials (or €2 for members for the materials). Sign-up form for the class after the break.
