Farset Labs
Even as we count down to our Steampunk-themed birthday party this weekend (Tickets still available btw), we were approached to host one of the more esoteric events of the calendar; a Steampunk LARP. LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing, and can be summarised as a cross between a costume party and an immersive acting […]
This past month, we’ve been involved in DCAL’s Creativity Month, in association with Creativity NI. This allowed us to experiment with ways to bring the general maker and creative community together, through our Makers Meetup programme (which we’ll be continuing as a basic social event), the Bring and Buy sale (that was decimated by unprecedented weather), and […]
Monday March 25th @ 1900 in the Event Space It’s that time again, where democracy (otherwise known as “He who shows up, wins”) reigns supreme. We’ll be doing the usual financial reporting, strategic reporting, etc, but this time round, we really want to encourage the membership to raise any issues they’re having with the space, […]
On Saturday 23rd March, Farset Labs are having our first ever Bring and Buy Sale! It’s a great chance to pass on those things you can’t bring yourself to get rid of, or to grab something exciting for a bit of a bargain. It’s also an opportunity for any creative types who’d like to grab […]
As part of Creativity Month, we have invited the _maker collective up from Dublin to walk attendees through how to build a fuzz distortion pedal from start to finish on Saturday the 30th of March. The workshops are aimed at beginners to D.I.Y. electronics and we cover all the essential skills that you will allow […]
UPDATE: This post is now very old and is possibly out of date, see here for the latest CoderDojo Updates Farset Labs is playing host to the Weavers Court CoderDojo, kicking things off with a ‘soft launch’ next Thursday the 21st from 17:30-20:00. With mentors (and kids) hopefully coming from all over the park […]
It’s time to get out of the space and relax for a change. Farset Labs in association with the Department of Culture, Arts, and Leisure’s “Culture Month” are inviting makers, breakers, designers, fashionistas, hackers, painters, sculptors, teachers, and any other kind of practical creative to just ‘hang out’, and encourage serendipity.
We had our Town Hall meeting over the weekend, which was a great success that we’ll be posting about separately, but one of the suggestions from our fantastic community was to bring back the old-school idea of tech-swaps, or ‘Bring and Buy Sales’. Bringing back the classic swap-shop atmosphere with a bang, and also hopefully raise some funds […]
Aaaand, we’re sold out of ‘In-Person Donation’ tickets for this weekends Raspberry Jam! We’ve got 24 on the docket at the minute and if anyone wants to join, a small donation will go a long way to keep this volunteer run, community driven, self-funded operation of ours going. Of course, if you want to be […]
It’s over, and it’s a new world record. Farset Labs has contributed to the Worlds Largest Game Jam, and everyone involved should be very proud of what they’ve accomplished in just 48 hours. With 30 registered Jammers, 11 registered games (6 made it to submission, but that’s ok!), no-one can say that Northern Ireland doesn’t […]
