The DIY Extrusion Plate Workshop is a collaboration between Etaoin, a talented ceramist, and Oscar from the Enterprise FabLab. In this hands-on workshop, participants will have the opportunity to craft their own clay extruder plates using metal and a waterjet cutter machine. Etaoin, known for her tableware and captivating ceramic sculptures crafted in Dundalk, Co. Louth, brings her expertise in ceramics to the workshop.
