Yesterday I had fun demonstrating flameworking at Mini-Maker Faire for Terminal City Glass Co-op. As usual, my work doesn't look like much before it's finished. I was volunteering for Terminal City glass to promote glass classes and membership. The Co-op provided the glass for the demonstrations. Those dark (dididyum) glasses protect my eyes from damage while staring into that flame for hours. It is actually easier to see what I'm making while wearing the glasses.
One of the great things about demo-ing is getting to see Maker Faire for free! I made a pixel pendant at the booth next to ours.
And I contributed some embroidery to a leaf at the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild.
I also saw Max, a fellow Co-op member, working in a forge with the Vancouver Community Laboratory.
Another Co-op member I ran into at Maker Faire is Heike Kapp. She has some very detailed and interesting marbles that you can check out on her website.
Although there was a whole section of 3D printers making the same trinkets, and many more kids-centred activities than there have been in previous years, it was still interesting to see most of the vendors. My only regret is not eating any of the food. There were some delicious looking popsicles available from a food truck with a long line. Looking forward to next year.
