Designer Maker Meet-Ups
Join fellow designer makers for a lunchtime discussion and exhibition preview at ADC. We know that many makers have a solo practice and are looking for opportunities to catch up with other creatives. Designer Maker Meet-Ups are designed for you. This free lunchtime event will include a short conversation and plenty of time to catch up informally.
Coffee and tea provided, so bring along your lunch and take a well deserved break!
