Preparing for Singapore Maker Faire / / /
There won't be any Fix It Friday this week as I have been very busy with two things, Repair@Schools (a spin off of Repair Kopitiam) and the preparations for Singapore Maker Faire (11-12 July). 

 :

  • FAIRE OPENING HOURS

    11th July 2015: 11am-7pm
    12th July 2015: 10am-6pm

  • GETTING THERE

    15 Tampines Street 11   Free Shuttle buses will run from Tampines MRT (half hourly) and Vivo City (hourly).

Singapore Maker Faire

A group of us (under the One Maker Group) were given a theme to work on - Childhood Dreams - and I decided to make a huge interactive nest that families could weave on, the whole idea being that people could relive and experience the warmth of a mother's embrace (the nest), and also take part in building the nest using old t-shirts. 

Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to design it......

it got delayed.....

so eventually, I decided to transform the nest into woven hoops, akin to the Native American dream catchers. So, our plan is to have these hoops hanging from the ceiling and underneath, members of the public will get to weave a mini-version. 

I'm looking forward to it!

Check out the progress below:

Yup, we used a hand drill to wind up the t-shirt material!

    Age, you are so creative. The way you think about recycling has opened up a whole stream of creativity to you that the rest of us never think too much about. Go the One Maker Group all the best as you continue to plan for the Faire. Thanks for bringing this new way of creating to Fridays Blog Booster Party.
