Maker Faire Austin

This weekend will mark my first ever Bizarre Bazaar and my second Maker Faire. Last year Stitch participated in the Swap-a-Rama bit of the show. This is Maker Austin’s first year to have an official craft show and Naughty Secretary Club & Hot Pink Pistol will be there front and center in booth # 709. Stop by for tons of hand painted purses, one of a kind jewelry and more. Be sure to hit the show barn out at the Expo center to check out over 50 different crafty booths. Yes I said barn, I’m curious to see how this will all pan out - hopefully they moved the cows.

You can also stop by the Maker Shed a couple of different times over the weekend and learn a few tricks of the jewelry trade from me!

3:00 PM Saturday, October 18 -I will be teaching how to make your own fabric jewelry.
11:00 AM Sunday, October 19 I will be doing a little jewelry 101.

On both days after my 30 minute demos I will be signing copies of The Naughty Secretary Club book there in the Maker Shed!

So come out to Maker Faire and say hello Austin. Last year it was a bit like a Renaissance Festival meets the SXSW interactive crowd, I can’t wait to see who turns up for year number 2.
