Spring Fayre: Art, Science and Technology Activities For All Ages
Sat 24 March 11am-4pm
Winter Garden, Sheffield S1.
Our Spring Fayre was all about art and creativity in the digital age. With an extraordinary range of activities, workshops and events throughout the day at a number of landmark venues around the city centre, we want to inspire everyone to experience new art, and learn how to be more creative with the technology around them.
All events are FREE - some workshops have limited capacity, but you can sign up on the day on a first come first served basis. There's lots to see, so come early to the Winter Garden, pick up a schedule of events and a map, and start exploring!
*Calling digital makers, artists, scientists, designers, engineers and educationalists! - If you would like to get involved in exhibiting or helping with events at the Spring Fayre, for more information email info@lovebytes.org.uk.
Harmony. Explore the art of mathematics and make your own drawing using this bizarre and strange contraption. Harmony is a harmonograph, a mechanical apparatus that employs pendulums to create a geometric image. The drawings created typically are 'Lissajous curves', or related drawings of greater complexity.
"Walking past a blacksmiths one day, Pythagoras heard a familiar harmony in the ringing tones of the hammers at work inside. He discovered that the weights of the hammers were responsible for their relative notes. A hammer weighing half as much as another sounded a note twice as high."
Harmony - created and presented by Bird and Bee.

Creative Computing Workshops
Become a digital maker not just a consumer, make your own games and digital art by learning how to programme computers. With Scratch it's quick easy and fun, it's like programming with Lego and it's a great introduction to the fundamental principles of coding. You can doodle to your heart's content, add sounds, make buttons that do things and animate your drawings and photos. This is an open drop-in workshop with creative programmers on hand to help. If you are already using scratch bring your work along, we'd love to see what you've made.

Description
"Book Summary"
The world’s problems require new thinking and new solutions. Wars, famine, unequal distribution of resources, the destruction of the environment… these issues call for cooperation, intuition and networking. Women have unique skills and gifts to apply to solving these problems. However, today’s woman is caught up in yesterday’s mental programming. Despite all the gains of the feminist movement, women still continue to judge success based on values of the fifties: finding a man, marriage and creating a family above all else. However, the single-minded pursuit of these goals can actually get in the way of a truly satisfying life and prevent a woman from making her mark in the world. This book argues that all women should take time out to learn who they really are and what they have to offer the world.
Geva Salerno is a businesswoman who embarks on a year-long experiment designed to step outside her pre-conceived ideas about life, in order to reclaim her true self. After finding herself over-worked, divorced and obsessed with achieving society’s vision of the perfect life, Geva gives up dating for a one-year period…no more online dating, no more blind dates and no more thinking about men. Set in southwest Florida in 2011 and 2012, the story is the true account of how a woman re-created her life step by step.
As she begins the process of dismantling her false life and slowly building an authentic, creative and fulfilling one, Geva brings to life long-forgotten dreams and aspirations and begins to take risks. But, as she begins to re-discover her true self, she also discovers her true voice. Her family must learn to adapt to this “new Geva” as she begins to carve out a new place for herself in her family of origin.
She must also find a new, healthier relationship to work, which forces her to examine her real monetary needs and how she spends her time. As her old life unravels, Geva must simultaneously create a new one and be open to what the new life brings. Can she survive in this brand, new world unfolding around her?
Over the course of the year, Geva meets new friends who are on similar, but different paths. Strong new women enter her life, while several interesting men tempt her to give up the quest and she is forced to choose between familiar patterns and a new, unknown future. "Will Geva give up the experiment and return to her old life?" "Can Geva create a new life, where she no longer needs men?""What role will men play in her new life?" "Will her discoveries affect the lives of millions of women around the world?"
"This debut memoir by a talented new writer breaks all the rules and will keep you reading from sunup to sundown. Don't miss this one."

Isabel was grounded to her room at her father's house and made this slingshot while she was there. Very inventive!
Puzzle is creativity because you need to think creative to solve the whole jigsaw puzzle. Also you need to think how it matches to each other so it makes you think more and more.
A friend and I experimented with wetting old books, shaping and cutting them, then drying them (http://theshoppingsherpa.blogspot.com/2011/01/books-in-bath.html ).
These are the results...

Do you still think cthu.lu is a good internet address? I think Iceland manages to top this. This is probably just an icelandic store to buy some pen & paper stuff, right?
When I want to pass the time & dab into my creative "bug", I make bracelets...aka Arm Candy:)) I find myself spending up to an hour or more, browsing the bead isles in Michaels & Hobby Lobby. I LOVE coming up with unique pieces & have passed this hobby onto my kiddos (esp. my 13-y/o son).
This is the result of a fun and creative scrap "game" that I invented, blogged at gefiltequilt.blogspot.com/2013/06/scrap-heaven-come-as-yo.... I like it vertical and horizontal!
Now already a year ago, I got my hands on these Lego Classic Creativity boxes. Since I intend to do all four of them, here is the green one! This one was a tough one though, with no SNOT bricks included. I actually already got the yellow box to take with me on holiday, se expect photo's sooner or later.
In addition, check out Ross Charnocks's take on the green box!
