Welcome! This is the Tinker Blog; a space for design, creativity, making and tinkering. This is a new initiative by the Valletta Design Cluster to create a platform for our community's makers to share details and thought processes around their projects. 

Through the layered and expansive design approaches different professionals adopt, the Tinker Blog will grow with the goal to explore all possibilities of design and tinkering. This space isn't just interested in the success stories, but the successful failures and happy accidents too! Design by our definition is not a linear upward path of success, but an up and down zig-zag trajectory of exploration, imperfections, blunders, "aha!" moments and the endless cycle of curiosity and iterative processes. We welcome all parts of the process, all materials and all methodologies as a way to learn more about the processes of other makers to potentially adopt techniques into our own way of making. 

There is no template for tinkering, and this blog will showcase the diversity of makers and their practices which are part of the Valletta Design Cluster community, and beyond. Let us share our maker stories and explore what is possible!
