DIY Society

Croeso [Welcome] to the D.I.Y. Society!

Want to learn how to repair, create, design, and make new friends? We're the society for you!

 

We host weekly events that have a wide range of reach, so if not everything is to your taste and you want to come for what appeals to you - that's ok! We discuss and help give out basic maintainance tips, as well as more chill crafting socials where we work on crafting projects, bringing in our own current projects and enjoying each other's company. We're friendly with lots of other societies, host regular joint socials through the academic year, and we love doing nerdy activities and helping people develop their own cosplay and sewing dreams! We also have fun nights out that are not D.I.Y. based with our fellow Hammerheads!

 

We have a craft social every Thursday and a 'Hang out' social (usually at Spoons) every other Tuesday.

 

We're excited to welcome you and see what awesome things you create!
 

Please log in to view the committee.
