Those of you unfamiliar with Maker Faire it is a gathering of all things electronic, craft, and DIY brought together under one roof. Imagine learning how to make a fire skirt that is not only stylish but looks like it is ablaze with flames…Now that is something that could be really hot! Learn how to make interactive toys using conductive thread, or try your hand at making a light panelfor inside your purse by Switch’s own Alison Lewis – now you will always be able to find your lipstick no matter how dark the club may be.
Don’t want to spend all your time with your sleeves rolled up in the workshop? How about wandering around and exploring the interactive exhibits that will be on hand? Then just when you think your feet will fail you, why not check out some of the discussion panels and presentations. Alison will be leading a panel on the main stage on Sat may 19th at 1pm talking to Diana Eng, Emily Albinski and Syuzi Pakhchyan about the future of fashion technology and electronic craft.
