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.

Three years ago, while wandering the streets of inner Brisbane, I happened across the small shop of a violin maker.
Here is the apprentice and she said it is almost impossible to find somewhere to do an apprenticeship. She will take just over 6 years, before Ilja Grawert may sign off on her certificate as a qualified violin maker.
I have since seen a story on this shop on TV, and Ilja Grawert is quite famous for his skills.
This is from his website:
Ilja Grawert began his apprenticeship at 18 in Bremen, Germany, under some of Europe's best violinmakers.
After migrating to Brisbane in 1994, Ilja now has a shop in Woolloongabba, Brisbane.
He welcomes the chance to chat with anyone interested in the art of violinmaking, and is happy for people to watch while he works.
This is a sign of the times in more ways than one. Firstly, I posted a different shot of her and my editing skills have improved since then, so it was interesting to compare the two.
This one had over-exposed arm, an overly warm colour temperature giving a pinkish color and was not so sharp.
See the other image below.
I suspect that this image was the less presentable at the time.
Secondly, this is a dying art, where instruments, and indeed many other things are now mass produced in factories by faceless people paid a pittance in under-developed countries, for the consumtion of the western world.
This might be less so for specialised instruments like violins, but the grim reaper can't be far away.
Wonder if SHE is certified yet. The website speaks of Kate, so parhaps this is her. I must go and revisit them soon.

A restoration of a damaged clip, but showing an interesting perspective on the back (presumably web making) end of the Tholian ship model from The Tholian Web. The ship sits on a stand in the studio. Another shot of the ship, from the side, can be seen here:

where the web making nozzle (if that is what it was intended to be) is just barely visible in side profile.
This relatively simple model was repurposed later in the third season as the Aurora in the episode " The Way to Eden " and can be seen as that ship here:

Teacher Geo Monley and his high school students are building an animatronic city at Tam High: Maker Field. Here’s their work in progress, which now features several tall buildings and multiple levels.
Geo and I are also teaching a similar class for middle school students: City of the Future. Children will combine arts and electronics to make a model of what our world could be like in 100 years. They will build a futuristic home with a cardboard ‘wonderbox’ and animated characters, bringing them to life with lights, sounds and motion.

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!

one of the bands i had the pleasure of touring with this last month was Grave Maker. I just finished this design for them. I would like to thank Pushead for the inspiration with... uh... everything.
