maker faire
Saturday I went to the maker faire, the first one in australia , basically a faire for makers of anything, hackers, tech (low or high), DIYers, crafters whatever, to come and share knowledge and to show off creations. theres no selling , i tink that was actually a plus .
some people wanted there to be more crafers with selling allowed, but i think it would turn into yet another craft market if they did that.
you could run worshops and charge for materials etc. i was asked if i'd be interested to be involved run a workshop or have a display, but didnt really have time to think of anything, get it together, but next time i would be interested in showing stuff and demonstating some crafy things.
heres a slideshow of pics i took at the faire, or click here to see the set on flickr
