Following a couple of days trackside to start my October trip to Kentucky, on Friday afternoon it was off to Loretto for the tour of the Makers Mark distillery. They've made quite a few additions since my last visit in 2010 (although sad to see they haven't put my name on a building yet even after all the product I've purchased over the years:)), and the tour is still very good and definitely worth a stop in when hitting up the Bourbon Trail. Fall colors were right about at their peak, so after the tour grabbed a few slides of the very picturesque grounds.
Afterwards headed over to Lexington for the Auburn-Kentucky game on Saturday, which AU won 24-10. Trains, bourbon, and Auburn football made for quite a nice 40th birthday trip!
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!

My new, red, coffee maker was sent to me by my mother because the one I had liked to pee all over the counter. Therefore, no more mess. Not having to clean up the mess in the morning will save me some valuable time. The coffee maker takes up a bit more space and everything displayed on the kitchen counter did not seem right, so I moved my Pyrex collection down, and the saguaro plate moved too.
We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!
