Workshops By & For Women*
Under the motto "Hands on with Female* Makers", women*only workshops on various topics will take place at Happylab in May 2022. The program includes welding in the metal workshop, furniture making with wood, do-it-yourself bicycle repair and an electronics workshop with ethical hardware.
No prior knowledge is required to take part in the workshops. Women* only!
Let's Build! Gemeinsam Möbel Bauen
Wednesday, May 11th, 2022 (3 - 7 pm)
Off to the wood workshop! Together with Mostlikely SUDDEN WORKSHOP, the participants use the machines at Happylab to build their own furniture out of wood. The focus is on the NOT AT HOME OFFICE furniture series developed by Mostlikely, a portable minimal equipment for mobile work, discussions and meetings in times of the ongoing pandemic. After a short safety briefing, each participant can assemble and work on their own furniture kit.
Ethische Hardware
Friday May 13th, 2022 (3:30 - 5:30 pm)
There is fair trade chocolate and coffee, but is there also fair trade technology? Together with Stefanie Wuschitz from the feminist collective Mz* Baltazar's Lab, the participants will pursue these questions and tinker with hardware parts. Only electronic parts are used that have been manufactured under fair working conditions, sustainably and do not require the usual supply chains of "conflict materials".
Digital Couture - Digitales Modedesign mit Clo 3D
Thursday, May 19th 2022 (4 - 7 pm)
Fashion design is increasingly shifting into the digital world. Virtual prototypes of garments save energy, time and material and make the design process more sustainable.
Together with Fanni Huszàr from Fab Lab Budapest, participants will learn in this workshop how the Clo 3D software can be used to create sewing patterns with intricate details and purely digital fashion.
Repair & Ride -
DIY Bycicle repair
Saturday May 21st 2022 (2 - 5 pm)
Repairing your own bike increases self-confidence on the saddle! In this workshop, the participants will familiarize themselves with the basic repairs on the bike together with the mechanic and bike shop owner Ana Powdrill. Every single part of the bike is checked - from the bottom bracket to the tires. Bring your own bike!
Frauen* Schweißen - Zusammen
Wednesday May 25th 2022 (3 - 6 pm)
With a group of women*'s power and the support of Tatjana Schinko, artist and welding expert of the GRAND GARAGE, women* will thrive in this welding workshop. In addition to theoretical basic knowledge about inert gas welding, real skills in handling the welding torch are of course also taught!
Female* Maker Month in May 2022 marks the starting point for more equal opportunities in technology-related making. By making female* makers and their projects more visible as well as organising women*only workshops, we will of course continue to encourage women* to implement their ideas with digital fabrication technologies.
Female* Maker Month is supported by the Vienna Business Agency. A fund of the City of Vienna.
