If you have something particular in mind to work on, try to bring the bits and bobs you will require incase we don’t have them :) If you have kit from previous workshops, feel free to bring it along!

This will not be a tutored event, but an opportunity to play, learn and practice anything that takes your fancy, and to catch up on skills learned from previous MzTEK events! It is also a chance to present projects you may be working on (or have previously worked on), and get feedback.
