Venue: The Beer Kitchen Dundee // Date: June 12 // Time: 7-8:30pm
Make/Share is a free monthly event which brings people together to gain a behind the scenes insight into their creative processes, held on the second Tuesday of each month, at The Beer Kitchen Dundee, from 7pm – 8.30pm.
Join us on Tuesday June 12th and hear short talks by four local makers about the processes behind turning their ideas into reality, and how living and working in Dundee influences their work. The theme for this month is: How do we measure our successes?
Speakers explore how their project or product has evolved, how they experiment, what their biggest challenges have been and how they were overcome. After the talks we have a short opportunity for any questions to the speakers, and for you to share your upcoming events with the group.
We’re delighted that The Beer Kitchen is our official sponsor venue for Make/Share and supports the event with a complementary beer or soft drink at arrival. Also, exclusively for Make/Share attendees, after 5pm you can claim a 10% on any food or drink at the Beer Kitchen!
You don’t need to sign up, just come along!

Niall Moody
Niall is an artist and game developer, as well as a lecturer in Games Audio at Abertay University. His work is primarily concerned with the intersection of sound, visuals, and playful interaction. For Make/Share he’ll be talking about an interactive composition/game he made in 2016 called ‘lingeringInMirroredPlanes’, and how it led him to reconsider how he presents his work to the outside world, and his motivation for creating in the first place.

Fruzsi Pittner
Fruzsi is an illustrator and postgraduate researcher studying at Dundee University. Her passion is community storytelling, worldbuilding and art — starting out with sharing her work online and participating in creative communities sharing fanworks between each other, she now focuses on a research covering story adaptations, the image of Africa, and transmedia storytelling. Her talk will be about the beauty and hardships of online content creation, the relative importance of numbers, and how making stuff that makes her happy helps her keep her skills up.
