Brilliant to see progress FabLab Sunderland with @DiMainstone’s plans to turn Sunderland UK’s Northern Spire Bridge into a musical instrument via some interestingly named additions! @BallBecca acting as test-pilot

We have published our Christmas opening times. fablabsunderland.org/news 🌲🎅 🕯️

Happy new year. We are now fully open after our Christmas break with a lot of making already going on.

This is the amazing Leonardo da Vinci inspired work created in FabLab by Sunderland's amazing students. Exhibited in the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens alongside drawings by Leonardo da Vinci himself.

For the first time in a long time the 3D printers are quite. If you have something you would like printing then let us know ASAP. They are busy again from Thursday.

If you want to have a smart home but are not allowed to change the switches then this smart 3D printed hack could be for you. A smart switch holder that fits over a normal switch. @… instagram.com/p/Btft2nAn2tZ/…

The largest Ship in a bottle you will ever see is now on show in the Bridges shopping center, Sunderland. Made in FabLab from recycled bottles by artist Ayako Tami and Sunderland University students. @ Bridges… instagram.com/p/ByH25D9Hdw4/…

And we are off to an awesome start for @WOMGNE workshop hosted at FabLab Sunderland with @eagle_labs_ncl #womenmakinggames #stem #barclayseaglelabs #fablab

Supporting @WOMGNE with our fabulous hosts FabLab Sunderland. Making a 2D platformer with collectables, sounds animation plus a host of extras for the young women to enjoy. #bringinggirlstogames

All face-to-face classroom teaching and assessment across our @SunderlandUni UK campuses is suspended from 17 March. Our libraries and other main facilities will remain open. Building on existing practice, our teaching and assessment will be online-only by 23 March.

**DEADLINE NOON MONDAY** Are you an amateur/community arts, cultural or creative group based in South Tyneside or Sunderland? Do you need support to get your group up and running to full capacity again due to the impact of Covid-19? Your Art could help theculturalspring.org.uk/your-art/

We have some sad news I am afraid. FabLab Sunderland will be closing at the end of July 2024. It has been a rewarding journey and we hope we made a positive difference in the world. Thank you to everyone for being amazing.
