Today marks the final day of the Unknown Maker project. This project started in spring 2021 and it started all with a stack of tea towels that were around 100 years old. All the items in the book were found in thrift stores, on fleamarkets or gifted to me. There are examples of crochet, knitting, lace, tatting and embroidery.
All the items in the photographs are hidden in pockets. These trimmings are hidden in the pocket with the green embroidered blocks.
There is a video of the book but it is too long to put on Flickr. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEKf2Mfn0dk

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual Bay Area event with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Rome, Oslo, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of "featured" 2014 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and almost 100 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world, including right here in Portland.

The spray kicked up by storms during freezing weather on Lake Michigan does just that... it makes huge icicles on the outer light at St. Joe. Here, the icing is just starting on the catwalk and outer light.

Maker Faire 2017 was bigger, louder and hotter than previous years. Many of the attractions were still the same, but they felt more grown up. I particularly enjoyed the illuminated art in the Dark Room, such as Peter Hudson’s 3D Stroboscopic Zoetrope. I also enjoyed all the ingenious robot exhbits and the Traveling Spectacular’s vaudeville performance
I gave a talk about our Maker Art classes on Sunday morning. We teach children to create magical worlds together, combining art, tech and storytelling. Our students get really engaged in the process, which helps them develop their creative, problem-solving and social skills.
The presentation was well received by a great group of teachers, parents and kids. I connected with several librarians and teachers interested in teaching Maker Art in their communities. And one mom reached out to me afterwards to say this was the best talk she heard this year.
Maker Faire remains the Mecca for Bay Area DIY hobbyists and it was well worth the trip for me. I made some good connections after my talk and learned more about robots for our next classes. Onwards!

A visit to the Sausalito campus of the Lycée Français de San Francisco. This lower school teaches children from kindergarten to grade 5, based on the French national curriculum. It’s seems like a wonderful site for this multicultural community of a couple hundred kids. It’s a clean, well-lighted space that encourages critical thinking, collaboration, creativity in a playful setting: as I walked around, I sensed an appreciation for culture in all its forms, with cool art on the walls — even an original Picasso brought in by one of his relatives, a 5th grade student.
I met the team in charge of their extra-curricular activities, to discuss an ‘art maker’ program at their school. They seem interested in a weekly after-school class for their oldest kids, ages 8-10. This program could help students develop both their art and tech skills, as we did with our recent Wonderbox workshop ( vimeo.com/143230458 ).
I came out of the meeting energized by our conversation — and by the children's creative energy. Stay tuned …
