The facilitators, Nam and Lily, are co-founders of SHEEEPschool.
Lily (she/they) applies multi-disciplinary methods, intersectional lenses, and creative approaches to design, education, and community organizing. Their work centers on building empathy, engagement, and empowerment through hands-on experiential learning and co-creative praxis. They currently work as the Studio Technologist at U of Tโs Faculty of Architecture by day. They have established and overseen a range of workshop facilities/ makerspaces and programs in past roles including at U of Tโs Faculty of Engineering, TMUโs Design Fabrication Zone, and Toolbox Initiative.ย
Nam (he/him) aims to create more meaningful community participation and advocacy in issues of architecture, making, and urban futures. He is a systemic designer, artist, and foresight practitioner, and is the co-founder of Makeshift Collective โ a multidisciplinary arts and design collective that used to operate a woodshop, photo studio, and sewing studio in Chinatown. Together, we built a space of collective care, creative agency, and experimentation, building a culture of mentorship and skill sharing, running community build projects, and learning the messiness and joy of collective empowerment through making.ย

Then please join us for Anti-Making Making Club #1: Laser Cutting 101! This is the first workshop of a series where SHEEEPschool gathers a community of like-minded creative critical thinkers and anti-maker-makers for collaborative learning, play, discussions, and making, as we unpack together how we might make things in a meaningful, anti-consumerist, good way. All levels of experience (none to expert) with laser cutting are welcome.
