While the excitement for Dublin Maker 2026 continues to build, we are also thinking ahead to other events that we are organising in 2026. On the 28th of November we are going to host the Repair Summit down in the Rediscovery Centre, with CRNI and @rediscoveryctr.bsky.socialas partners!

A promotional poster for The Repair Summit, an event bringing Ireland’s repair communities together. The design uses bold green and orange blocks with white text. It announces “Call for Sessions NOW OPEN!” and lists two session streams: Making It Happen (covering venues, funding, insurance, logistics) and Fixing Things (hands‑on repair skills for electronics, textiles, furniture, and more). A QR code sits on the right side. Event details appear at the bottom: Rediscovery Centre, Ballymun, D09 HK58, 28 November 2026, 10am–5pm. Logos for Dublin Maker, Rediscovery Centre, CRNI, and Taighde Éireann Research Ireland are displayed along the bottom edge.

We had a fantastic day on Saturday down at the Stoneybatter Festival. Tog Hackerspace hosted a brilliant Repair Café where over 30 items were saved from a skip! Our next Repair Café will take place at Dublin Maker Festival itself - on the 23rd of August. We cannot wait!

Nathan is standing beside a white pedestal holding two small objects in transparent display cases—one resembling a can, the other a small box of cigarettes. Framed abstract and colourful artworks hang on the wall behind him, and a large green-toned installation is visible in the background.

Our wonderful friends and past makers at the Irish Patchwork Society are celebrating their 45th anniversary with a special exhibition in the Botanical Gardens, running until 23rd August. The showcase features an incredible array of pieces, all inspired by the theme “Echoes.”

A row of six colourful textile artworks hangs on a white gallery wall. Each quilt has a distinct style, including abstract trees in purples and greens, blue and yellow geometric shapes, warm-toned angular architecture, musical motifs on yellow, rows of multicoloured circles, and a cube pattern design.Seven rectangular quilts hang side by side on a white wall, each with different patterns: abstract red and green shapes, light blue paisley motifs, multicoloured hexagons, a gradient of squares, an ocean scene, and circular planet like designs. A wooden cabinet sits below with small textile samples laid on top

An amazing repair café out in Tog Hackerspace today. Today's hot ticket item: lamps! Also some amazing furniture repair and toys brought in over the afternoon. Thanks especially to all the volunteer fixers, especially those who came down from Farset Labs!
