Steve Roger's Maker Day

National Space Centre

On 04 October 2015 prop maker and costumer Steve Rogers wrote on his Facebook page "Just popping down to the hospital for open heart surgery, see you in a few days."
On 16 October we heard the sad news that Steve had passed away, due to complications with the surgery and a huge hole opened up in the community that only this big man could ever fill.
We want to celebrate his life, so on 12 March, Steve's Birthday, we are going to be doing all the things Steve loved and we want you to join us.
Come along and see maker workshops, armour parties, costume exhibitions and hands on advice. 
Meet makers and costumers, ask questions, share techniques and understand how to take you projects forward.

Steve loved making props (he was damn good at it too), but he also loved sharing the knowledge around. There is no time for politics and in-fighting, just making and having fun!
Tickets are FREE, we will be asking for donations on the day, but this is completely up to you and all money is going to a really good cause.
The venue and all the crew are giving their time for free, they just want everybody to come together and remember Steve and the amazing legacy he has given us.
This event will be run in the John Egglestone Suite and Shuttle Suites.  It does not include entry to the galleries, planetarium and Rocket Tower.
PLEASE NOTE - this event is free, but you will need a ticket as we have a set capacity.  It is really important that if you book a ticket you turn up and use it. Steve knew thousands of people through prop making forums, events and costuming, we want as many people as possible to attend.
