A fun engaging workshop that introduces the principles of ‘The Circular Economy’. Transform your old toys with fun things like lights, foam, fabric, googly eyes, circuit bending and more!
At our Toy Hacking workshop, take apart old toys and create an “Art of Junk!” Use tools and scissors to take them apart, and use glue, tape, binders to put them together onto a cardboard canvas. We’ll have a collection of toys, craft foam, fabric, and assorted body parts to augment your sculptures. Bring your own toys to upcycle too and take home a canvas to hang on your wall!
Prices are £6.50/£5 for MAKlab Members

Saturdays 1pm -2:30pm
Make a wee creepy crawly. Mimicking nature is one of the best ways to build robots.

Have fun watching your brush bot zoom about, race others! Attach pens, put paint on the bristles and create a scribble of art. The sky is the limit!

Regular roller discos for grown-ups and the Shakedown for kids and families all around the Glasgow area including Sunday afternoons at Scotstoun.

Kids will love it, especially the limbo in the middle (how low can you go).

£25.00 (Family pass with skate hire)
£15.00 (Family pass without skate hire – byos)
£8.00 (Adult + skate hire)
£5.00 (adult own skates)
