Melbourne's first official Makerspace, @fab9au, is opening at the Dream Factory in Footscray early next year. But what exactly is a Makerspace? Good question. We sent one of our writers, @melissahowardwriter, behind the scenes to chat to the dreamers/gurus behind FAB9. For those that are into 3D printers, get ready to geek out. . . Full story coming soon. Get on our mailing list to get it delivered into your inbox [link in bio]. . . Pictured is the world's first Makerspace, NextFab (@nextfab_phl), in the US.
Thank you to all those that came along to the launch of our second edition at the Abbotsford Convent last Thursday. We're so proud of Issue 2 and we're truly humbled by the support that we've felt by our growing community. We believe wholeheartedly in the power of print publication, great storytelling and contributing to purposeful conversations. You can become a yearly subscriber to our biannual magazine on our website or you can pick up a copy of Issue 2 at your local newsagent or favourite bookstore in Melbourne/Sydney (you can find a list of stockists on our website too). . . A big thanks also goes out to Chico G (@skylab_radio), @samplebrew, @storywines, and @lentil.as.anything. – Photos by @tshillier
