The Dublin Hackerspace
Always had fantasies of being able to run up a quick bag or item of clothing on a sewing machine? Well, it’s not as hard as it looks, and this class will get you started with enough of the basics that you’ll be looking to learn more!
Want to learn how to crochet?
There will be two beginners’ classes run during May, one from 7pm on Thursday 24th and the other on Saturday 26th from 2pm. Both classes will be identical and will run for two hours, so feel free to pick whichever date suits you better.
During the class you will learn the basics, how to hold the hook and yarn, how to do chain stitch, how to do double and treble stitches. By the end of the class you should be well on your way to starting your first granny square. Continue reading “Beginners’ Crochet Classes”
Easter is coming up, and so is a really nice Easter workshop in TOG.
Date: Sunday, 4th of March
Time: 2pm – 6pm
Participants: max. 9
The workshop will start by creating an Easter decoration from scratch, beginning with a raw piece of wood that needs to be grained and branches fresh from the tree that we will turn into a basket.
Once the hard woodwork is done, we’ll create chickens and butterflies out of wool and ribbons for the most colourful spring impression possible. There will also be plenty of flowers, pussy willows and lady bugs to complete our work of art.
To not leave our Easter basket empty, we will color and decorate eggs (that can still be eaten afterwards), as well as fill it with various chocolate goodies – a vital part of this holiday.
Fee: 15€ for non-members / 9€ for members (eggs and chocolate included)
Please let us know if you’re interested in attending!

Hello again Crafters! It’s been a long year, many projects were started, a few even finished, and it’s always good to see your toil pay off. So we at tog reckon it’s time for a Craft Night reward. The next Craft Night (Tuesday, 13th) will be a special cookies and sugarcraft night! We’ll be baking cookies, icing them, and someone even mentioned hot chocolate 🙂
If that’s not your thing don’t worry, it will be a regular Craft Night too, just with added sugar-fueled giddiness from the kitchen! The sugary rewards are available to anyone on the night doing any craft. And it’s also the last Craft Night of the year (to begin again in January), so why not? Come along, have some fun 😀
This workshop is for the creative ones among you!The use of scissors, glue and a soldering iron should not scare you, and the eagerness to try new things should be your second nature.
We will be working with paper, glitter pens, LED lights, resistors, wires and plastic spheres.
When is all the fun happening, you ask?
27th of November, 2pm till 7pm
