DEMO: Overlocker
Wednesday 14th October, 12pm

The Overlocker is one of the most popular machines in the MakerSpace, perfect for creating clean, professional-quality seams.

The Overlocker has recently been converted to an Orange Tool. This session does not include an induction; however, you will be able to complete one after the demonstration in your own time.

In this hands-on session, you'll learn how to thread, set up, and safely operate the overlocker. We'll explore different materials, differential feed settings, and tension adjustments so you can confidently select the right setup for your project.

💫The ANU is celebrating its 80th birthday, and you're invited to join the festivities!

On 15 August, ANU Community Day brings the Kambri precinct to life with interactive workshops, exhibitions, presentations, music, face painting, and real scientific projects, alongside works from ANU student artists and musicians.

Bring your family and friends and come explore, create, and get hands-on with us at our Pop-Up in the Marie Reay Teaching Centre from 10am-4pm.

Discover tools including 3D printers, and a laser cutter, and see a MakerSpace showcase of creative student and research projects from across the university. Suitable for ages 4+, you can make your own take-home creation, try out different making activities, and help build a cardboard fortress that will grow throughout the day.

We'll be sharing sneak peeks on Instagram over the coming weeks, so be sure to follow us if you don't already.

Everyone is welcome! This is a great opportunity to show your friends and family around ANU, so bring along your mum, dad, kids, neighbour, or anyone else who might like to join in. We'd love to see you there.
