Halloween might just be around the corner but we are already looking forward to the most festive time of the year. 🎅🎄🧑‍🎄

Sign up for our Maker Secret Santa - make a small handmade gift for another maker and get one in return!

Find out more at: www.DublinMaker.ie/santa
A festive green poster promoting “Join Our Maker Secret Santa 2025,” hosted by Dublin Maker. It invites makers across Ireland to sign up before the 10th of November to exchange handmade gifts. The poster explains what to make: any small handmade item using parts costing no more than €50, such as 3D printed puzzles, crocheted creatures, or upcycled decorations. A “How It Works” list outlines the steps: sign up via QR code, receive a match on 11th November, create a homemade gift that takes no more than a weekend, send it by 8th December, receive a gift, and optionally join an online gift-opening on 12th December. There is a large QR code linking to DublinMaker.ie/Santa and small example images of handmade items including crocheted creatures, electronic or laser-cut games, and 3D printed figures. Holly decorations surround the borders, and the bottom text says “All makers welcome – from beginner to professional!”

Cosplay is Not Consent!

As we draw closer to the event, we must highlight how important it is that cosplay is not consent.

👉 Remember! If you're not sure what is appropriate, ask!
Image reads "Okamicon, Cosplay is not consent! Please ask if you would like to take a picture with or of someone. Respect the person's right to say "no". Any form of harassment will not be tolerated. Please be respectful of each other's space. Remember! If you're not sure what is appropriate, ask!"
