Makers' Block Experience

Last Friday was a real rush for me. I was at the Singapore Art Museum teaching and then popped over for the Singapore Maker Meet held at the Makers' Block, hoping to catch the last segment......most people had left.  Well, that meant another trip the next day. It was very bustling (see the pics below)!  

You can still take part and experience making at Makers' Block until 7 July. In fact, on Sunday I will be demo'ing some sock repair with a group of friends in preparation for the Singapore Mini Maker Faire. See you!

Benny from Uyii spent the entire day making bags with his industrial sewing machine ( I want one!)

These pieces are all handmade by 49WoodCraft. Check out the upcycled side table at the back. They added a speaker and wireless so that you can control the volume via phone!

Ivan Bestari Minar Pradipta sharing his Maker experience in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. He is the founder of Otakatik Creative Workshop which specialises in recycled glass art. Many of the makers innovate with whatever they have on hand - they don't need the sophisticated tools that we have.

Me! I shared some of my making tips.
