Show and Tell UCH

Makers @ MEC - Next meet up 15 Feb

Grab whatever you are working on and bring it to this show & tell!


An evening where you get to show your work and see other people's.

Take a raffle ticket as you arrive - we draw tickets out of a hat and if your number is picked, you will get time to show your work.

Open to all types of creatives. Whoever you be an illustrator, typographer, sculptor etc. we will spend as much time looking at/listening to your work as if you are a filmmaker, musician, game designer etc.

If your ticket is drawn, we look at/listen to your work for 3 minutes. We'll have some open space for sculpture, photography, architectural models etc; DVD projection and CD audio with decent speakers if your work is recorded; and a laptop with online access if it's web-based.

Who should come:
We are equally open to everyone - students, hobbyists, full-time creators, those who already have reputations and businesses, and those who are building towards that. All ages are welcome and please feel free to come down without any work if you're just looking for a break or some inspiration.

'I think that this looks very interesting. If you don't talk about your own work it would be just as useful to hear what people have got to say about the work of others. Attendance can be included in your professional practice. Be brave and go'. Joanna
