Fab Lab Maker Hub, Leitrim - Stuart Lawn 

Fab Lab Maker Hub is a digital fabrication training facility providing individuals and creative industries with access to a wide range of digital fabrication technologies such as 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, Vinyl Cutters, CNC and Open Source Electronics. Founded in 2014 by Stuart Lawn, Leo Scarff and Ali Farrell, the Fab Lab has delivered hands-on workshops and digital fabrication training courses across the North West and works closely with the regional enterprise offices, schools and libraries to promote creativity and innovation in art, craft and design.  

Stuart worked as an audio engineer in the music industry in London before moving to Ireland in 1999 where he co-founded a business providing equipment, system design and support to the film and TV industries. After moving to Leitrim in 2012 his life long love of tinkering with technology led him to the Fab Lab movement that was starting in Ireland. This drove him to create the first Fab Lab in the North West of Ireland, which itself was only the third Fab Lab in the Republic.

Namrata Chaudhary: I'm Namrata. I'm a senior systems engineer at Zendesk by profession but a huge creative person at heart. I love to bake, knit and occasionally paint and do jute weaving. I moved to Ireland in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and it was really hard to socialise and make friends or meet new people during that time. I took on more serious knitting projects at the time to keep me occupied. I can be very goal oriented so it worked out well for me. I also lost my grandmother later in the year, and she was the one who taught me how to knit and cook. A part of me feels very connected to her every time I work on a project, however small. Baking, on the other hand, has been extremely rewarding for me (and the people around me, let's be honest haha). I was inspired by Claire Saffiz's words "There are no “just cooks” out there, I am convinced. There are only bakers who haven’t been converted yet.

Heather Reid: I've been crafting on and off for several years. My mum is a seamstress so we've always been working on some kind of project when we had the chance. My husband and I had worked on a few pieces of furniture upcycling before this too. Lockdown saw us take on our biggest projects to date though. This was largely because we had much more time on our hands but it gave us a welcome distraction from the news and doom scrolling too.

• Christine Harold & David Flynn from The Props Factory: We are two kids who grew up in the 80’S watching too many monster films. We worked hard and got through art college where we met lots of other talented people who we are still lucky enough to work with today. Having been lucky enough to have learned from generations of prop makers and sculptors over our many years in the industry, we now have a wealth of knowledge that we love to share with other makers.
