Here is the maker art cart I built at Tam Makers, in its first journey from the woodshop where it was made to my home in Mill Valley.
I am happy to report that the cart pieces fit perfectly in the back of my Prius, as planned. We designed the cart carefully so that it could be rolled around, taken apart and driven away easily. Its longest part is 72” (to fit in compact vehicles) and its widest is 32” (to fit through doorways).
In our maker art classes, we use this art cart to showcase the work our students. For its first exhibition, the cart featured the City of the Future that our middle-school students built together in spring 2016. We will also use it for our Magic Theater project, for the first performance of Ubu’s Dreams, our shadow puppet show for the upcoming Pataphysics of Dada exhibit.
Many thanks to my coach and partner Geo Monley for his help in designing and building this cart. Together, we are developing a new makerspace called Tam Makers, to server a growing community of makers, students and teachers in South Marin.

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!

In this week’s art maker class with Natalina, we started with a bit of qi gong, then had a conversation in french about objects around us in our home and garden. We then switched to Arduino programming and learned how to make a servo motor move. She assembled the hardware, reviewed the servo code and updated it to try different speeds for the motor. She keeps getting more fluent in both French and Arduino — two languages she wasn’t very comfortable with before. I think these weekly lessons are helping, and I am really happy with her progress.
We also discussed our next steps for Violet’s Journey, the fairy tale video that we are creating with her art ducks — which we have turned into poetic robots. We reviewed our options for the backgrounds that the ducks will glide in front of, and decided to start by printing one of our photo backgrounds onto a large vinyl banner, then shooting some test scenes against that backdrop, to see if this type of physical compositing with printed scenes will work. We also talked about the need for ’skirts’ to cover the robot bases, and looked at different ways to give Violet rainbow-colored feathers, using illuminated fiber optic strands that just came in from China.

Roti makers are also known as "chapati maker".Chapati makers are the best way to make hot and tasty roties in simple and fast way.Roti makers is kitchen appliance which make roti making easy.
